I wouldn't!! Everything that J was told from his recruiter was that letters only and if you want to send photos you should type your letters and insert the photo into the letters.
In the past the reciepiant of the package would have to eat (if treats) in-front of their division while the rest has some form of punishment i.e. push-ups curl-ups. I suggest you wait

Hello All, My son is in Ship13 and DIV 008 Talked to him yesterday I live on Long Island and was in the city on a subway some how god was on my side and the call came through he sounded great like his usual self but said he was bored. Not enough exercise I was surprised since they have to do the run I pray he passes. He was in Sea Cadets so did the mini boot camp and went back 2 times as a staff so he knew what to expect. So glad I found you guys we can help each other fill in the missing blanks. Please everyone keep posting if you hear any news and I will do the same. I was in the Navy and I know BC wasn't fun but I wasn't homesick times where different then no electronics to keep in constant touch maybe that's why its so much harder for us. Cara

Hey Long Island....boy do I miss the east coast! My son said the same thing about not enough physical challenge. He was wishing he joined the Marines. More physical challenge! He said if he knew there was going to be so much classroom training, he would have finished college!

Your recruits are still in the beginning of BC. There is lots of studying, folding, dental exams, drilling, PT, and academic testing. Here in a couple of weeks the PT and IT will really begin.
Look in the pages section which is on the main page of this group and under the member avatars. There is a link to what they are doing on a day by day basis.
