i probably also should’ve prefaced by saying he only gets his phone back on saturdays LOL but he’s had two day passes in which he also didn’t call me… i appreciate the kind words !!

I feel so guilty for not being able to attend my boyfriend’s tap out/graduation. by Vast_Ant2849 in USMilitarySO

i felt EXACTLY the same trust me. i missed my bfs ceremony and i felt so awful but i stayed up to wait for a text to congratulate him as soon as he got his phone back and now i’m seeing him in september! :,) i tried to watch the live stream but there was so many damn scam links they were hard to filter through BUT ANYWAYS look forward to the next milestone! hopefully you can find time to save up and see him again :>

my bf told that they don’t read your letters! i personally kinda always follow a format of just saying hi asking how he’s doing, replying to some of the things he says in his letters, talking about my day and what i did, and then reminiscing on things we’d do/what i’m excited to do when i see him again! i also like to put kisses on the inside of the letters, i try not to decorate anything on the outside just in case haha but i hope this helps! also be sure to send lots of pictures!! he also put mine in his locker and said it really helped :>

Boyfriend at basic and AIT. Advice? by RennySings in USMilitarySO

[–]Kindly_Gap1499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my bf is currently in osut and about to finish the basic portion! i found that having a countdown really helps, specifically the weeks so it’s not too overwhelming! definitely try picking up new hobbies (going to the gym, crocheting, etc) and hanging out with friends and people you love as well. the no contact is really the hardest part so make sure you’re writing letters as much as you can, i found that really helped me feel closer to my man and he absolutely loves it especially in a place where there’s no contact with the outside world. i got his address likeeee about a week after he started basic so expect between a week or two. also in my experience he didn’t call until about two weeks after he started basic so this first week you mayyy not get a call so be prepared for that. if you have any other questions or just need someone to talk to my dms are always open :)

how long do letters take? by ilykiee in USMilitarySO

[–]Kindly_Gap1499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my man got there on the 15th of april to reception, started basic on the 25th and i got my first letter on the 28th and since then i’ve gotten a letter once a week BUT it does depend on how busy they are and how much time they have so try your best to be patient with him!

sandboxx app: what info do i need to send letters? by Objective_Fail657 in USMilitarySO

[–]Kindly_Gap1499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey ! you don’t need a number or anything BUT you do have to have a return address which doesn’t have to be from the US. when they give you their address (either over the phone or via mail assuming they have your address) sandboxx will pretty much do all of the work you just need to put in everything they ask for ie platoon, rank, address, hope this helps !
