<p><span>I looked through all the questionnaires I could find. Since I just had shoulder surgery (on my dominant side!), these make writing my SR a LOT easier. I borrowed, added, and changed them to make a questionnaire that can be sent for those SR's that aren't/haven't received mail. I'll post a copy here. Feel free to use it. The better the morale of the entire Division, the better our loved ones will do! :-) …</span></p>

<p>When my daughter sent her box home it held her address book stamped addressed envelopes and her pre-paid phone card. That was our experience, yours may be different. She was also called "a mamma's girl" by her recruiter as our family waited (there were other recruits waiting from other branches with no family) in the recruiters office for her ride to L.A. to be sworn in and shipped out, we were told we could not attend this ceremony and I found out on this website we could have.

So there are no perfect scenarios. These recruiters are just people, folks, flawed and human, disappointing, but you can't hold them accountable.

Our MEPS handed out small pocket bibles. We also had him take his cell phone charger so if he needed to charge his phone at the airport, he could.

<p>Many girls end up returning the pads and tampons, for some reason some RDCs only want them using what is available in the little store where they shop.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I was in (back in the dark ages, LOL) they disallowed tampons and only let us use those stupid "mattress pads." We weren't even allowed the thin pads. I get the no tampon thing (they are associated with so many female problems), but the mattress pad thing never made sense.</p>

Don't send anything but a phone card. They ship everything back in a few days. I sent my son with a very small gym bag and stuff for the hotel stay the night before they go to Great Lakes and within 5 days we had everything back. He did keep his phone till then also, then shipped it home in the pocket of his shorts.
