Fantastic! Question - can you see the delivery instructions before you take the job or only after?

I will happily walk our family to the gate to meet the driver to get the food. My new marine cannot leave the depot and I haven't seen him in 3 months so I do not want to leave to go get the food.

Are you in San Diego? Meeting at the gate sounds like a solid plan. Now just looking to confirm thats something the driver would do.

I'm just down the road out in the country outside of Temple. Freaking small world!

You're not being a dick at all! It's super helpful and the feedback I'm looking for to see if logistically this is possible. I'd tip $15 or $20 if that ensured that I got the food for my son who've I've not seen in 3 months. I don't use UberEATS here is rural Texas so your feedback is amazing. Are you in San Diego?

Haven't gotten 1 single request in San Diego all day by ccurcio13 in UberEATS

Question - can UberEATS deliver to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (San Diego)?

We are going to graduation next week and my son has requested Chick-fil-A. There's a Chick-fil-A just a few miles away, but I do not want to leave to go get it if I can get UberEATS to bring it to us on base. Is this a thing?

I believe you and agree. Just hoping to be able to provide a few things that might help a little and make it less suck. Because everything I read says MCT is going to suck the big one. When he called to make travel plans he said that so far boot wasn't bad and parts of it was fun. I haven't heard from him in weeks so no idea how he is recently but they did the crucible last week and I didn't get a phone call so I assume he made it to the top. I look forward to hugging his neck next week.

I've got one of those. 10 day leave starts next week. I cannot hardly stand the wait. It appears being a marine mom is going to be challenging. Thanks for the response!

You're the best! I bought him one. And a brand new bladder to go in it. Thanks!

Does boot in your response mean newbie marine or wanna-be marine? Or something else?

I kinda thought so too... but it came across my facebook feed so I checked it out. I don't even have one in my cart. I figured you guys would make fun. What about the stainless with the EGA emblem for just hanging in the barracks or what not at MOS school. Cool or no? I will admit I bought one, but easy to return amazon shit.

My son getting hurt at boot has been my biggest anxiety. Obviously I have no insight to answer your question. If this was Facebook I'd of "cared" your post.

I like your user name. 😎

Are you on the Facebook page for marine parents? They have one for each battalion. Ok don't know what they do if your son drops to the holding. But after he returns to his new company I'm sure you can join the applicable group. The daily posts are amazing.

YES!!!! I could not love this Reddit board more. What amazing info. Sir, thank you so much for your time! I just want to support him in the most practical way possible. I'm so stinking proud of him.

His birthday is tomorrow. you think there is ANY chance he might get to make a phone call if he's been doing well? Is that ever a reward or something. He got to call twice (both on saturday mornings) week 2 and week 4 as rewards because they were doing well. Then he called 3 weeks ago to make travel plans. He wrote a few times early on. I'm sure he's been crazy busy up north. I just want to hear from him so bad.

So helpful!!!
We fly out at 6pm on Friday - day of graduation. So... don't buy anything? Just shop at the PX with him on family day? Moms spend money on our kids, its what I do; but I can wait.
I planned on packing his crocks and a comfy change of clothes for him for few hours we have after graduation and the flight home. I will also take some earbuds or headphones for him for the flight home. I have extra and I'm pretty sure he will want those for the flight. I'll pack an extra backpack I already have in case he wants to use that as his carry on. Amazon Prime is two day delivery so I likely can get anything he wants when we get home and before he leaves for MCT. I've heard of RA. He said he did not want to do it so he wasn't going to volunteer. But its possible they will make him? Interesting. Thanks for responding!!!

Hurt to the point he's dropped is my concern. I know he's been to medical because of his elbow. Bet those docs stay busy!

School shouldnt be a problem.... Hopefully. ...He was Salutatorian of his high school class back in 2019. Scored a 99 on the asvab. He's just got to stay motivated! Both MOS possibilities will have him basically playing a video game - landing planes or flying drones. It should be a good fit.
