What should I write in my Letters to Navy boot camp?

Over the next eight weeks recruits will be pushed beyond their limits and, if successful, transition into a Sailor of the United Staes Navy.

Mental and physical exhaustion will become a norm as the loved one you said goodbye to is transformed into a completely new person.

To help you become a boot camp Letter expert we’ve put together a list of some questions for you to ask when writing Letters to Navy boot camp.

1. What were your first thoughts when you got off of the bus?

2. What time do your mornings start?

3. How delicious is the chow?

4. What has been the worst thing about boot camp?

5. If you could describe boot camp in one word what would it be?

6. How many recruits are in your division?

7. What’s the name of one friend you’ve made, where are they from?

8. What are you most anxious about for Battle Stations?

9. What is one thing your division gets yelled at for the most?

10. What time do you normally get to sleep?

11. Have you been given a nickname?

12. Is there anyone in your division not receiving mail that I can write to?

13. Has it been hard to make your bunk perfectly?

14. What have you liked best about boot camp?

15. What has firefighting training been like?

16. Which type of ship at sea would you most like to be on?

17. What has been the funniest thing your RDC has said this week?

18. What’s the best advice you have received at boot camp?

19. After A-School would you prefer to be sent on land or at sea?

20. What is the dumbest thing you have seen or heard another recruit do?

21. Has boot camp been what you expected it to be?

22. What is your wish list of bases you would like to be stationed at?

23. What’s the first thing you want to do after graduation?

24. What homemade/fast food meal do you miss the most?

25. Are you proud of yourself? (You should be!)

Your Letters to your recruit don’t need to be long and they don’t need to be fancy.  What’s important is that you’re sending mail to support them through this journey.

Sending Letters via the Sandboxx app, will get your message and photos into your recruit’s hands within a couple of days (we overnight your Letters directly to the ship). We also include a return envelope with every Sandboxx Letter so your loved one can write you back!
