Question

Is it true when your in military boot camp the drill sargents or someone reads your mail before you get it?

Answer 1

No, no one reads your letters but you.  You do, however, have to open the letter in front of them for them to make sure there's no naked pictures or anything they're you're supposed to have.

Answer 2

they may look at your pics to make sure they are not indecent or at least in the af, but not read your mail

Answer 3

NO, they would be violating your right to privacy

Answer 4

I don't think they read it I think they screen it to make sure no naked pic from girlfriends, or drugs I don't think they would read it unless you really p**s them off, or get noticed alot .

Answer 5

No, its not true. Once the mail is open they can and will remove anything considered to be contraband (inappropriate pictures, food, etc)

Answer 6

Another lie spread by the Anti-Military libs.

Vet-USAF

Answer 7

i think that'd be more like jail wouldnt it?

Answer 8

I never seen anyone get their mail read by anyone other then them.

And never once did I hear of a story of anyone having their mail read by drill instructors..

It is very illegal and does not happen.

Answer 9

I was a Drill Sergeant for the last two years.  No, we do not go through your mail but if you recieve a package or a letter that my look suspicious you will probably be made to open it in front of your DS so that they can ensure you arent getting any contriband mailed to you.
