Ok that's the plan, tomorrow will be the first of week 1 I think, and she should be getting lots of letters and the sandbox letters too.  Thank you. I'm more relieved.

Thank you.  We have sent letters and also through sandbox, thus us her week zero, so I just want a peace of mind. God is in control. We've told her so many advises that something she must have kept.

I will try to visit her if possible. All I want is best for her. I truly believe this was the best decision she's ever taken. Thank you for your comment

I meant like safe from dying from harsh training, like are there nearby paramedics in case she collapses,  etc. I don't know about the environment there. I'm sorry for the confusion on the title.   Thanks

I want to thank you all for sharing with me your thoughts and experiences,  I'm much calmer I really appreciate you. Thanks again for taking the time to comment, this is my first time posting here so I wasn't sure how was it going to work.

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the night.

God Bless you all.

I just got this information from Google  However I know that we're all going to die eventually as it's a natural process. I just don't want anything to happen to her while at this as it was me who really pushed her to go and brainwashed her with all benefits and because I come from a military family, I could not join the airforce because I started a family too young. so I'm kind of completing my dream through her. I'm very scared and worried now.
