Shoosh - be sure to look at the first page on the boot camp group. Phoenixmom just posted the lists this morning of what they can and cannot take.
Also, here's the link to the blog that BelovedByHim posted regarding quarantine - this should give you a good idea of how they are doing things right now:

My message for Shoosh:
My daughter graduated Aug. 6. She was quarantined twice, so she was there a long time. My recommendation is to let go. It's hard; harder than I expected. She will be told what she can bring, which is next to nothing. Don't expect to hear from her while she's there and prepare yourself for that. She will be alright and if not, you will be informed. When you speak to her, remember that she is not alone. Don't say anything to make her cry. Believe her when she says she's fine. She's building her stamina.

Hello!
My daughter is shipping out next week, on the 26th. I'm already a mess of emotions lol. Any tips on what she can/cannot take to BC? Can they bring their own brushes/hair/hygiene products?
Also, if anyone has any info on how quarantine is working. From reading through looks like there are a couple of you whose girls left recently.
Thank you! Happy to be here!

Happy belated birthday Anna. I for one stopped acknowledging birthdays years ago.
B’sNukeMom; congratulations to the couple.
No leave for my Sailor girl. Guess we are all going through missing physical hugs from them. Restrictions flying into Oahu is delaying our visit to her. Everyone do your part and social distance. I have family members that decided to visit churches with hugs and hand shakes and now they are positive for Covid. 84 year old aunt is in the hospital. When hubby and I go to church we social distance. It is that simple. I strongly dislike wearing a mask. But I wear it to protect and respect others. That is my rant. Missing my girl and want this stuff to get controlled.
