Good morning, everyone. :)

I’m not sure how many of your kids got the same pictures taken at reception, but Stephany got pictures taken in her ACUs in reception, and I was wondering about how long it takes those pictures to get back to the Soldier?

She’s going to send them to us when she gets them, but Mike was saying it would be week 7 or 8 before she’d get them because I guess that’s when he got his. I’m hoping it’s not that long, but I’ll try and wait patiently, since I know they had hundreds of recruits to photograph during that time.

She was in reception from 2/10-2/24, and her first official day of basic was 2/28.

Thanks in advance for any insight. :)

I can't tell you how long it takes but can give you my experience from BCT pictures at Ft.Benning. My son took his pictures at the start and I did not get them until I pick them up at BCT graduation. You may want to find which Photography Company takes the pictures at FT.Sill give them a call. You will be amaze the transformation when the picture was taken and the first time you see her again. Please thank your Soldier for her Service.



PS. I'm sending you a PM.

We received Erics at the BCT Graduation week. They didn't get them until right before we got there for Family day.

i didn't see my fiances until about 3-4 weeks before his graduation, which puts it at about 7 or 8 weeks in.
