Paige, no, he can list parents or children as well. For his life insurance, he can also list a percentage for each person…for example if he wanted to list two children each getting 50% or if he wanted to give you a majority, but also put it so your child gets something. In a Will, which the paperwork can be picked up from JAG, he can also list more specific instructions for end of life care, how funds should be used/distributed, etc.

Hey Leslie, 

You can send any paper mail, including photos. I wouldn’t send a bunch though as the drawer for personal items is very small, and they have to put a lot of stuff in it already. Wallet size photos are best. Obviously there can’t be any pornography, drug, alcohol, violence, etc. references and to be on the safe side, I wouldn’t send anything that could even be interpreted as such. If you want to save the letters, photocopy them before you send them, so if she doesn’t have room in her drawer, she can recycle them, but you’ll still have the letters as a memory. You can send calling cards and stamps and stuff, but they have the ability to purchase all that, so I wouldn’t stress about any of that. Also they’ll go back and forth on the rule about only using the RTC headed stationary, so it may end up being a waste. Postagram is a great way to send a small photo with a note on the back. It’s an app where you can upload photos and pay the postage and everything right from your phone. The only package you can mail is a small address book or a pocket size religious text (like the Bible), but they can pick up free copies of several religious texts at the chapel. It will have to be opened in front of her Chief, so it will draw attention, but she won’t be in trouble if it’s one of those things. And that’s pretty much it, period. Definitely no food/snacks, clothes, books, or anything like that.

Welcome.  It has only been two weeks, so expect a letter very soon.  Have you joined the boot camp moms group yet?  They have very good information about what to expect when.

It is especially busy in the spring and summer as well, so I wouldn’t be surprised if his division is still waiting to even have that briefing and send out those letters.

cm1999 it’s not surprising that it hasn’t come yet. They can spend a week or more in P-Days (processing), and then the mail takes a few days to be sorted, sent out, and arrive at your house. Give it another week or so, and I’m sure you’ll hear something. There’s nothing else you can do except know that as long as you’re on the list, you will have a ticket to graduation.

The boot camp group will have info, and a PIR group for that division.
