Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on April 20, 2012 at 9:46am: ♥FireTeamLeaderWife♥ aka FTLW - Thank you. That must have been the card they were talking about in the video. I am surprised to find so many have mailed the phone cards back, that I thought there must be a reason. I think they were in my sons pocket and maybe he just had to strip down and didn't give it a thought.

Not sure, I am mailing to back to him, just in case, today.

Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on April 20, 2012 at 9:33am: kimmery11 - My son is Ship 3 DIV 175 also!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 20, 2012 at 6:58am: I will have to watch that video again as well to make sure it is not something new. It may be the NEX card that you saw. They do issue them a card like a debit gift card to use to purchase things they need from the NEX. It has I believe $150.00 on it. That amount comes out of their paycheck. They only allowed to buy very specific items and aren't even allowed on the isles in the NEX that contain other things such as candy :-) They will buy shampoo, soap, calling card, stamps, paper, etc. If they have money left they can put it towards pictures or use that card in any NEX after bootcamp.

Good Morning :-)

Comment by CAB on April 20, 2012 at 6:40am: Received a call from my son yesterday as he needed some info...it was great to hear his voice.

Comment by C's proud mom (Ship 3 Div 175) on April 19, 2012 at 10:38pm: I just got my form letter from my son, he is on Ship 3, Div 175.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 19, 2012 at 10:11pm: kathyrc - As far as I know...RTC does not issue phone cards...I'll have to watch the video again ;-). It's supposed to be the most recent...but you never know!

RTC does issue NEX cards with $150.00 on it for the recruits to use for the duration of BC for their necessities. This does come out of their pay.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 19, 2012 at 10:07pm: kathy- the ribbons are to wear to PIR to support you Sailor, like the ones in my profile picture. Send me a friend request on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com if you would like more info :-)

For those who sent something home that they need that happens a lot. No worries, they will probably write and ask you to send some things back and may even be allowed to make a call to you for a minute or so to ask you to send it :-) As for the calling card you can go ahead and send it back or get one and send it if they went without one.

Comment by RobertsMom on April 19, 2012 at 9:38pm: anyone with someone in ship 3 div 174 with my son Robert!

Comment by L A(MM nuke mom) on April 19, 2012 at 8:59pm: diannep: yes I'm sure he just tossed everything in the box. He actually mailed his wallet home with the phonecard in it. He even mailed home his direct deposit form! So I guess he will have to open another bank account there. ugh.
