I was told that when recruits arrive they are given the *option* of donating what they cannot bring to boot camp or sending it home in a box. I know from experience that when a person in some authority position makes a suggestion to a new recruit ...

Mary, I understand more than you know. My son's recruiter did a very similar thing to him, telling him he had a waiver he didn't and telling him that because of the waiver he didn't need to reveal anything more at MEPS (which is wrong). They thre...

First of all, I can't believe that if stuff was donated to our military in Iraq, that someone would be angry over it. My son arrived in Great Lakes earlier this month, and everything that he could not keep was sent back in the box. One thing that ...

Yes, my military Mary, it's hard to hear the truth and the truth is your daughter lied about her condition to enter the Navy. It's apparent from what you've posted that some red flags should have gone up at some point in the process. The Navy has ...

What a really bad recruitment experience your daughter had. Who the heck was with her at the airport, telling her she wouldn't need stuff and taking it from her?! My son didn't take much with him and what he did send back was in the box they all s...

The book written by a recruiter is wrong. They are not allowed to bring anything to bootcamp. I explained why. It is to keep drugs weapons and contraband out. Do you honestly want that stuff at bootcamp? Is it worth the risk? The Navy didn't stea...

Military Mary, I have 2 daughters in the navy, one went last year and one went this year, I like you bought my daughter (last year) panties, sports bras, tooth paste etc., When her box got shipped home all the stuff she took with her was shipped a...

My son was allowed to keep nothing. He was told by his recruiter that he should wear old clothes he wanted to throw out because he'd just end up sending them home. The only thing he brought was a toothbrush and his cell phone. The cellphone, cloth...

You are way off base with this accusation that the military is stealing from recruits. I am deeply offended by this accusation. Recruits are not allowed to bring anything with them when they arrive. The items are not stolen and sent to IRAQ. Not ...

When did this happen? When she arrived at boot? That happens to everyone, they aren't supposed to bring anything with them.

Well it is stealing when they are forced to donate all the things they brought with them that they can have, and are told the soldiers in Irac need it more than you do because they cant go to walmart and they do this at the airport that is stealin...

I would like to know who is stealing from your daughter. Are you accusing the staff of stealing or her fellow recruits? What illegal activities are going on? I would also like to know why you are implying your daughter is in jail. Until she leave...
