I hope this helps many of you moms and dads but i will say i wasnt sure of this when my SR. was at BC but he knew plus i advised him MOM wants all pics because i wasnt sure what it was and he ended up ordering $220.worth just remind him to order pictures.. I was also able to bring home all pictures carry on the flight attendant was nice enough to store it but i was able to carry it on didnt fit in suit case but i also didnt want to chance it in suit case.......
Also one other item that is not listed is the keel the (yearbook) and only your SR. can order it. not sure on price....
Good Luck MoMs & DaDs

How do we find their bootcamp pictures?
-
-
-
Your recruit will order pictures after they are taken in about week 4 of training, which is about 5 weeks after arrival. You have plenty of time to make sure that your recruit orders them. If you find out that he didn't, you can order them at the NEX after PIR. The Keel is available free with package A if the recruit orders it before PIR, but is about $30 if purchased separately or following PIR.
