This is the correct number for the Navy Exchange Photo Lab (I just called it and it works): 847-578-6205

 

Are you sure your daughter has not already ordered pictures?  When my daughter was in boot camp, she ordered them for us.


ok thanks I will have to try this number again on Thursday it is 9 PM now, So I just opened a letter from my daughter dated Sunday she said Monday will be their first firefighting class. Also she stated that she had not gotten any mail from me since July 22,???   what is up with the mail I write her every day and it is in the mail that same day............hmmmm  well, she also mentioned they took their individual pictures and she ordered some tee shirts for her self,  than asks do I have any money in my account!!!!!!!!!      Thanks for answering my plea................

 

sorry mud on my face here....correction she had scribbled out before the 2 it looked like 22 but the correct date should be since the 2nd  of aug    reference in reguard to the mail delivery   sorry didn't mean to cause panic

  Thanks

Hello it is me again  lol I had dailed this # 1 619 299-8794 found it some where but today I will call the # you posted again many thanks...

Your recruit usually orders the pictures  when they become available.Last year after my sons graduation he went to his room and brought back his pictures and his division tshirts he bought for us.I talked to my daughter the other day and she doesn't have her bank card so she is using the temporary checks they gave her from Navy federal.I know the Keel or cruise book (it's like their year book comes in the mail along with the graduation video  if it was ordered-some people call it^ one of those 2 names).My daughter is in the same division as ur recruit.My daughter gets paid again tomorrow that will be her 2nd pay check.Last year my son ordered the biggest package of pictures because it came with everything (cruise boo,div pictures,them in their dress blues,graduation video,and I think another divisional picture also.I don't remember the cost I think it was over $100 just not sure of the exact cost.

 

thanks for the info, i just hope my son ordered enough pic's.

 

There was a package for $140 that included a "free" Keel.  We still have photos left from my daughter's package, so if your SR ordered that package, you'll have PLENTY of photos!
