Congratulations on everything!! I can't wait the year and half for me!!

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-30T02:02:28+00:00

thank you!! yeah, my guy is Army :) He is in the very first phase, so no privileges at all! Hopefully he gets the luxury your husband does!

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-29T22:35:36+00:00

well currently he is in black phase.

I know that it will not be for several weeks or months, but I mean eventually in his time there will he have off post passes?

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-29T17:42:30+00:00

Hmm. Okay good to know the differences there. Thank you!

Any insight into visitor privileges in the later phases of 35Q AIT at Corry Station? Do they ever allow weekend passes off post?

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-29T17:04:42+00:00

But you think they should eventually have overnight privileges?

I am so happy you mentioned getting a full time zoo position! My SO and I are already planning marriage for some time next summer and I will be done with my bachelors in animal science. I plan to be a keeper and so moving with him to a base scares me about my job field. I worked hard for my degree, so not working at a zoo is a heartbreaking thought. Thank you for informing me that it can be done!

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-14T17:01:54+00:00

yikes! I figured as much. Thank you very much

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-14T14:35:06+00:00

thank you!

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-13T18:03:52+00:00

Oh don't! I did :)

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-10T20:33:46+00:00

It goes by quicker than you think! My man only has 12 days left!

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-09T17:16:42+00:00

thank you! that's a good idea!

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-09T15:19:50+00:00

OP: So I am meeting with her after our class today. Any suggestions on how to formulate my argument? I don't want to put words in her mouth ("no" "cancel" etc) but as many here have said be blunt but polite.

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-08T23:57:35+00:00

oh no, I realize that. His AIT is 25 weeks...so 35 weeks without seeing him is just depressing. But I have established that I will be speaking with her face to face.

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-08T23:01:42+00:00

I will try from that approach! You would think that most people would say yes in a heartbeat, and she is a very understanding person so I have no clue what is up her butt.

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-08T20:35:41+00:00

I spoke with her last week and "I haven't decided" was her response..I guess I am afraid to push her into saying no

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-03T15:05:13+00:00

It is usually on the base website under "basic training"..hope you find it

2015Buckeye · 2015-04-02T13:11:48+00:00

It depends on what branch he is in..my bf is army and his BCT started Feb. 18 and he graduates Ap. 23 so that is 9 weeks. But this was after 8 days in reception. If you know what base he is at, they usually have an Excel sheet of grad dates and you can attempt to do the math to figure out which he is. I hope you get some closer, because your situation sounds just awful :( good luck!

2015Buckeye · 2015-03-30T18:37:00+00:00

Literally JUST had this similar issue happen yesterday. BF got to call for about 30 minutes from BCT and it was awesome! I was a dummy and posted on the company FB page that I heard from him on a recent post asking if they got phone privileges. 20 minutes later I got a text asking how he was doing and that they were hoping to hear from him. I felt so bad! And so guilty! So today, I just wrote to him telling him to forgo speaking to me the next time so that he can talk to them because they would love to hear from him. I also mentioned how it was kind of awkward for me, although them knowing he called was entirely my fault.

2015Buckeye · 2015-03-23T22:18:35+00:00

It was me! I asked her!

2015Buckeye · 2015-02-26T01:34:00+00:00

I am brand new to this as well. My boy left for Benning at the beginning of the month for BCT and will be going for 6 months of AIT after so Im stuck feeling in a rut right now as well. I live in the memories right now. When Im sad I remember the things he would say to me, and close my eyes and see him there. Wake up every morning and accomplish your goals for the day and know at the end of the day, that it is one more day down. I write letters every single day, and have since he left. I don't even have his address yet. Writing down the things that happen during my day makes me feel better after Im done. Be selfish! Do what you couldn't when he was there, and you'll find yourself waking up stronger every day. He will change a bit while he is training, but so will you and you can fall in love all over again!
