Marine OCS doesnt really play the same games that seem to be played at Navy OCS. I never saw anyone have any trouble with perfumed letters. All packages will be opened in front of the staff to ensure that there is not contraband in them but that is about it.
That being said, if your girlfriend sends pictures she will get "rated" by the staff in front of the platoon. In fact, my whole platoon got on line with pictures of their girlfriends while the Sgt. Instructors graded each girlfriend on a finger scale.
yes. its ok. My mom even fedexed me a whole bunch of birthday cards on my bday and I didnt have any problems. I had to open it in front of the staff but there werent any issues.

Wow...if someone had sent birthday cards to a candidate in my platoon, the staff would have had targeted him for the rest of the time there. You got lucky.
I dont think they realized it was bday cards. they just looked inside and saw a bunch of envelopes and moved on. My bday was also at the end of the last training week so staff had lightened up a little.
This isn't Myspace or a text message.

Haha...such articulate abbreviations though...take it easy HH
I know, but one of the positive and distinguishing characteristics of this message board is the use of complete (or nearly complete) sentences and whole words. It is a reflection on all the members of AW and the members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard who participate.
EDIT: My apologies I left out our sister sea services that have NA/NFOs.

Fair enough. I actually misspoke, though. A candidate (who graduated, but to this day have no idea how or why the staff let him) did have a birthday during OCS, and one of his buddies back home sent him a card with with 3 guys, naked (from behind) on the front. Our Sergeant Instructor took one look at it, then he showed it to me, since I was on line and he was right in front of me. I couldn't help but crack (sorry for the pun) a smile and laugh a little. Anyway, he called the candidate down, gave him the card and said, "Don't ask, don't tell, right? I'm not asking so don't f*cking tell me."

Oh No!!! I got a "NOTICE" today from Quantico. My mail attempted to deliver but was not accepted and Quantico left me a "NOTICE"!!?? I can not read the notice until Tuesday due to the fact that the Post office closed at 12pm today, are closed on Sun, and Mon is Columbus day. It has to be about the fact that I am sending priority mail. Guys, my heart just sank down to my stomach.
