Basic Combat Training Round 2

Dallin will be at Basic Combat Training in So. Carolina for the next 10 weeks. After that, he goes right into AIT (Advanced Individual Training). His address is:

PVT EHLERS, Dallin

2nd PLT, E Co, 3-60th Infantry
5482 Jackson Blvd
Fort Jackson, SC 29207-5023

Mail is the highlight of his day. It takes a while to get it through when they first start but he says it really means the world to him. These are the ONLY things he can receive in a care package. Family that send “contraband” get their soldier in trouble - like the dad who sent a giant bag of Skittles and the whole platoon had to do push-ups for every piece. When you write, try to include a self-addressed stamped envelope, if you can. Leave the return address blank since he will have to put his in. He can buy his stuff at the Commissary but they only go every two weeks.
