What items can you receive in the mail in Army Basic Training?

Or what items can you not receive?

Whichever list is smaller I guess...

My boyfriend's birthday's in 9 days. I'm mailing him a necklace.

I really want to get him something else, and I don't know what yet because I don't know what he can't receive?

If I send something he can't have (and that isn't illegal) would he be able to see it and they just put it with his other belongings for him to get when he leaves?

Or should I get wait until he gets out in October to get him a gift... ??

    He is not allowed to wear a necklace unless it has a religious medallion (small like a Saint Christopher Medal). Just send him letters. Get him a special gift for his graduation.

    Just send him a card. Wait to give him the gifts when he gets back.
