Bigfamilysimplejoy,
Since she is still at RTC I would not add anything extra for a couple reasons. First, anything else you send her she has to pack into her seabag along with all those uniforms, boots, and other stuff she has with her. And she has to carry that on her own all the way to her next location. Plus she is still at RTC and the RDCs could give her he$$ for any other "contraband". It would be better to wait until she gets to her A school to send her any other items. Now not sure what you want to send her but keep in mind, they don't have a whole lot of storage in A school and they will not be able to wear civilian clothes until she phases up. So get her her phone, tablet and chargers for now, but wait a bit to send other stuff.

When I talked to my daughter the other day she said she will be there in Great Lakes until Saturday. But she didn’t have any other details and things do change so we’ll see. My daughter is a CS. What is your daughters’s rate? Maybe they’re going different places in Virginia?
