Can my family send packages during BMT?

During BMT And Graduation

Family members may send letters, but they are highly discouraged from sending packages or other items during BMT. Items may be taken away or placed in storage until after BMT. Family members should save those items for graduation or wait until you have arrived at technical school and received a mailing address.

General rule: The most recent BMT information email, orders, amended orders, and instructions provided during out-processing or training control what applies. This FAQ explains the local process in more detail but does not replace newer written guidance.
