The brands are the numbers, the types are the letters

Wow-- that is quite a list!  Thanks so much! The brands do not matter?

Where can I find the list of the approved protein bars? 

Comment by Jenna07 on July 5, 2018 at 7:55pm

I just went to Target and picked up some of these items.  They had most of this in the travel size so that was great. I picked up multiples and have told my son to share with others when he gts his box.  Thanks for the ideas.  I was able to get one of the approved protein bars from another store.

redheadlass:

Tide pens are spot remover pens.  You can find them in the laundry detergent section of the supermarket or sometimes in a drugstore.  They look like a felt-tip marker but say "TIDE" on them.  If the candidates get a spot on their uniform, especially those whites--yikes!-- they can rub the Tide pen over the spot and it usually takes it out, instead of having to launder the whole thing.

My son graduated OCS in 2012 near Anna's daughter, and then we could send them cookies and candy and all kinds of treats in their Candio boxes, but then they all gorged themselves and made themselves sick because they had not been allowed any snacks or desserts up to that point.  I think that's why OCS quit letting them be sent sweets, since they had all been "sugar-deprived" for 8 weeks they went overboard with the treats.

Just get plain old black shoe polish from the drug store. It's in a small tin so should fit easily inside the box.

My son was also 11-18 and I would add a good pen. They always have to have one and it is something that is more like a "gift" from us than a necessity (like power bars or cleaners).  Amazon had lots of nice, reasonably priced ones to choose from.
Also, I wish I had included his wireless earbuds.  He did not bring anything to OCS that was not on the list online so he did not have earbuds. He had to buy a pair at the NEX.   So if he did not bring earbuds, I would include it.

What kind of boot shine?  And tide pens for cleaning or for marking? These are all great ideas!  Where is the list of the approved protein bars you can send?

The comments by Andy'sMom are spot on. The only thing I would add is some boot shine. The lint roller is essential as well.
