Are recruits allowed to make phone calls?
Recruits are permitted one phone call once they arrive at MCRD San Diego. After that no official time is set aside for recruits to make or receive personal phone calls. Recruits will, of course, be allowed to make phone calls in the event of an emergency. It is not uncommon, however, for company commanders to allow the recruits to make at least one phone call during training. Return to top Q: What can and can’t I send recruits in the mail?
