What type of packages are parents allowed to send their cadets and when can packages be received?
Basic cadets are not allowed to receive care packages during BCT. However, upon completion of training they are allowed to receive care packages from their parent and family at any time. The cadet area houses a fully functioning US Post Office that allows cadets to receive mail and packages in a timely manner. Generally, newly accepted cadets are eager to receive care packages that include their favorite snacks, food, pictures of family and friends, cards, and other letters of encouragement.
