Does anyone have info regarding guidelines for sending the cardio box? My son just completed week#8 and I'm ready to mail the decorated box..but he's asked for hid computer to be sent.
Can I send 2 separate boxes?

    I sent two boxes. Make sure you write candio on the and yes you can send his computer. The ones at OCS aren't that reliable. My daughter was always having hers fixed. I did mail her in her candio box.

    In the candio box don't fill it with to much snacks and candy. They don't end up eating it all and it goes in the garbage.

    They are very excited to receive them. I shipped mine out a few days earlier just to make sure it made it to RI.

    What class will your son be in? My daughter was 02-15. Has he received his ship duty yet?

    Its an Officer Candidate School thing, a highly decorated care package they receive when they enter the final stage of OCS.  Candio = Candidate Officer.

    Making a candid box was so much fun for my son and daughter in law. They filled it with candy, creamer, coffee, chips, her lap top, her bday gift a new I phone, body sprays, gift cards. Everything that they were with out for 12 weeks. I over stuffed mine, in case someone's box didn't make it on time and she could share. The officers go thru the same as enlisted but in more detail.
