<p>Just curious--are you all sending care packages during plebe summer? They allow that? Up the road a piece, we are only sending letters; no goodies until they survive "beast." It would be nice to be able to send goodies; it would feel like we were doing something...oh well, back to the ancient art of writing letters!</p>
<p>USNA allows care packages. Some parents send, some do not. Some parents send "extras" via the USNA Chaplins, who will disribute them to plebes who have not gotten anything for one reason or another. Obviously if your Plebe decides to opt out, parents should oblige. </p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge (and from what I can remember): USAFA allows them as well. For USCGA, we had permission to send a company package- but that was arranged through a mom with a son at the academy at the time with permission through the COC.</p>
<p>At USMA, care packages are not allowed during BEAST, but can be sent after that.</p>
