FREE Phone Calling Cards for Recruits
Hi all... Just wanted to let you all know about a great program for Recruits. CallsforRecruits.org has FREE phone cards for recruits in bootcamp. If you or someone you know is leaving soon for bootcamp, go to the website and get some phone cards for them to use while they are at BC. They can use them at A school or anytime if they need them, although most people have cell phones these days LOL. Just thought I would pass along the info....

Do they have to do anything to make these phone cards work? In other words, when we send these to the SR's are they fully ready for use without complications?

Yes. They just need to call the 800 number and then enter a PIN number, then enter the number they are calling. Tell them to just throw away the number after they use, or cross it off the list. They will only work once. Have a great day...

Thanks so much! I'm assuming people know of someone that have been able to use these kind of cards successfully. Just wanted to make sure these things really worked before sending out. I hate for them to have their hopes up and it not go through.

No Problem... My son uses them, and gives them out to others in his division as well. And I have already given out about 5,000 of them and haven't heard any complaints yet. So send away....lol

Thank you kindly! Sending some out today!
