Everyone loves receiving mail... and packages are even better.
I've been gathering items to include in two packages that I will instruct my husband to mail me at BCT. The first package will hopefully be mailed as soon as he receives my BCT address when I ship downrange, and the second package will be mailed a few weeks later.
There are some of the items I am including within the packages: pocket-sized packs of Kleenex tissue, small packages of handi-wipes, Badger balm (like chapstick), very small bottles of hand sanitizer, Q-tips, Cat Crap (anti-fog treatment/lens cleaner for glasses), small bottles of Gold Bond body lotion and body powder, prestamped envelopes, 4"x6" Rite-in-the-Rain notebooks, black ink pens and Sharpie markers, postage stamps, and extra ziplock baggies of various sizes.
Hopefully some of these items will make life a little easier at basic training.
In other news, I decided to change the template regarding the appearance of this blog. Some of the old pages will reflect the previous incarnation of its appearance. Blogger is kind of funny like that. I think the new template is a little easier on the eyes.

I read your whole blog tonight and enjoyed it--good luck with basic training!
Just make sure the items are 'legal' to have in basic. When I went through [four years ago] everytime you got a package you had to open it in front of the platoon. As a joke some guy had a blow-up doll sent to him.
The Drill Sergeant didn't think it was as funny as the rest of us.
I just read through some of your older posts, you made a pretty good choice for an MOS. If you want to know a little more about it, feel free to email me at gwyoungii [at] gmail [dot] com. Or not.
Either way, good luck.
