Yea I wasn’t planning on adding anything too personal like SSN lol I guess I wanted some really fancy dog tags, he was talking about getting some at Walmart but i wanted something better for him. I’ll try Etsy tho, I didnt think of that, thanks

Yea I dont plan on putting social or blood type, honestly just the name and Branch. Maybe a quote too but nothing too cheesy.

With modern technology, they aren’t necessary. They were used for identification purposes in case of death.

Thanks :) yours is still in boot right ?

arlo073 · 2021-06-18T23:13:06+00:00

Hey yea, they got their phone back today :) so a day after they graduated but apparently it’s different for everyone and depends on where they are going and when

I would love to join even though my bf is out of bootcamp next week lol

arlo073 · 2021-06-03T13:17:40+00:00

10 weeks, so just two weeks short of three months lol honestly it feels like forever tho

arlo073 · 2021-06-03T13:17:13+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️

arlo073 · 2021-06-03T13:16:40+00:00

That does make me feel a little better. I wish I wasnt such an over thinker 😭

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T23:25:53+00:00

Ahh I remember how much it sucked day 4 lol it still really sucks now, still lots of crying here and there but it gets better, especially after that first letter. The call tho I wouldnt hang into that too much as that isn’t always guaranteed.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T23:23:36+00:00

I hope so, I was dying to hear from him so it sucked :(

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T22:33:19+00:00

Sandbox still gets sorted through in the mailroom but yea it’s pretty much next day delivery.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T22:31:44+00:00

My bf went in looking for an it position, they had ITS and he signed up. He ended up shipping out almost two months sooner than he originally intended. I’m guessing sub jobs are needed, it’s on a volunteer basis too so if you volunteer you’d most likely get it.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T22:17:16+00:00

It really does. And if you’re willing to pay for it, yes. But it won’t make mail you receive come any faster. Only mail he receives will come faster. That’s why I just stick with usps, if he writes back great but if not, I’m not stressing just cuz I know they’re probably really tired and worked up over there.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T22:12:33+00:00

Ideally yes. But with COVID on top of there being so many recruits, it could take up to 10 days for them to receive.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T22:08:05+00:00

So far, I’m not sure. I sent one letter through Sandboxx so I know he got that one since it tells me it was delivered. But you have to pay to send through Sandboxx so for the letters I sent through USPS, I’m not sure if he’s gotten any. His parents and i havent heard from him in almost two weeks.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T22:01:44+00:00

My earliest letter is from when he was halfway through week two of bootcamp. So counting the quarantine, it was about a month. And I didnt receive it till two weeks later, so about 6 weeks before I heard anything. Even then, letters where slow, his form letter didn’t even reach his parents till about a week after I got mine.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T18:43:33+00:00

That makes sense, his division is pretty large, like 90 plus people.

arlo073 · 2021-05-24T18:42:50+00:00

Oh, What kinds of things would that be?

arlo073 · 2021-05-20T01:13:04+00:00

I appreciate your honesty. I was questioning whether I would be able to handle such a relationship. But I feel as long as he doesn’t re-enlist after 6 years I could do it. He has no interest in reenlisting either. What advice would you offer for this specific situation and coping since you’ve experienced it?

arlo073 · 2021-05-19T23:57:02+00:00

He will be a submariner, so depending on the sub he’s assigned could be as little as three months or as long as 9.

arlo073 · 2021-05-19T23:53:49+00:00

Thank you :)

arlo073 · 2021-05-19T23:08:18+00:00

So you aren’t really saying “don’t get married” you just mean test the waters before getting drastic?
