I will have to say I sent a warning with the bubble wrap to alert his room mates and others so they didn't think something awful was going on (sounds like pop guns sometimes) and he had to share-the report was they loved it.

I love the bubble wrap suggestions :-)

My son also said he didn't want anything (01-18) when he was finally a candio.  I sent him a book he had mentioned about subs, shapstick, lint roller (a backup one), a magnet from home,  a big 10 sports magazine so he could see what I had been emailing him about once he earned that, some pictures from home in a small album and some bubble wrap to pop when he got super stressed. We were told last year NO food items as they had earned the right to go to the NEX and could get snacks from there.

The thing my DS seemed to appreciate most in my mail besides family news was news of the world (current events - they weren't allowed any internet news) and news of his local professional sports team.

I don't think you can send any food items. Although I think my son told me that some people got candy in their Candio Boxes and they were able to keep it. But I would have your son check with his class team about the candy first before sending it.

I put in the Candio Box the Tide pen, chapstick, black shoe polish, a magazine,  a book, ear buds, lint roller, a small photo book in which I had printed out some of the photos that were posted on Facebook of his class. He was only in one of the photos but I did print out other ones that he might enjoy seeing of the rest of his class. He did seem to enjoy the photo book. Also he really liked the reading material and the ear buds. I also got some of his relatives to send me a short note to offer him congrats on his Candio status and I put them in the box.

We stayed at the Howard Johnson hotel.  It was clean,  rooms were good. Great lobby and breakfast. Close to base and easy to get to base from.  Friendly staff. Great price!

djbmer: It looks like the group may be called "US Navy OCS Class, 02 September 2018, Friends & Family".

Hello!

My granddaughter reported to OCS on 2 Sept.  Do any of you know if a FB page has been set up for class 03-19?

Thanks so much!
