Addressing Letters to Recruits

Be sure to properly address letters to your recruit so they arrive as quickly as possible.

During the first two weeks of recruit training, recruits will send home a letter stating they've made it to MCRD and will provide an address for which to receive mail.

All mail is routed through the only mail office on the depot. Your mail will not reach your recruit without the correct COMPANY AND PLATOON NUMBER. The mail office will see that information and sort the mail to that company and platoon. The company and platoon information will be listed on the letter your recruit sends home about 2 - 3 weeks into training.

Even if you can't go to your Marine's graduation, you can still celebrate their accomplishment and send them pictures! Send them to us, too at Photos@MarineParents.com!
