Got the infamous "kid in a box" today

Posted by Louie Patton on October 6, 2015 at 7:09pm

Our son Tyler left for RTC on October 1, 2015, that night we received a 48 second phone call from him yelling us we would be receiving a box with his personal belongings in it in about 3 days.  Well we received it today, I was a little disappointed that his mailing address wasn't on it or in it.  I guess from what Ive read that we should be getting a letter with that information.  Not sure when that will come but it cant come soon enough!!  I was also disappointed they didn't allow him to keep his necklace and crucifix.  It's very sombering to go through his things.

    Thanks for letting me know about the cross for his dog tags necklace. If we mail it to him when we get his address will they give it to him? I don't want to send it if they wont give it to him and it get lost.

    they will be wearing dog tags you can mail just the cross back to add to his dog tag necklace and per the I'm here phone call they have to read a skit posted on the phone with other recruits near by so they really can't get personal
