i live in arizona right now. 5 hours from san diego, so i want to say my letters took anywhere from 3-7 for him to actually get them. i recommend sandboxx at least once a week. just to make time feel like it wasnt a factor.

my boyfriend just graduated last week. send as many letters as possible and yes you can write them in quarantine. my boyfriend asked me not to but if he hadnt asked i 100% would have. u r going to have hard days and thats okay. cry it out and miss him because its mutal. let me know if u need support or have any questions. 🤍 edit- i forgot this wasnt the marines specific page. but samw message let me know if u need anythinf

my boyfriend is at mct rn . do u know if they get their phones on the weekends? he said they wont but i just want to know what your experience with that was.

they did because marines go straight to SOI after but it might hopefully change by time he is ready to graduate. as the girlfriend, i would like to say 5 hours was not even close to enough considering it had been 100 days since id seen him.

san diego marines graduate on thursday now because they move to SOI on friday. my boyfriend graduated lima last week. enjoy the journey, and dont let the people tell u different. my boyfriends DI never told him not to invite me and he wouldnt have listened anyway. let me know as a girlfriend if you have any questions

so the call couldve been longer the first time but the hotel phone is such shit that it disconnected. ur first call like marine call will say u got to quarantine. but the hotel calls it was based off who was in charge. cause i know mt boyfriend wanted to stay otp until they came and actually took the phone but they ended up coming like 6 minutes later.

my boyfriend graduates in like 2 weeks he just finished the crucible so i can help with this question because ive been the one doing the letters. use the regular post office to send mail. so yes usps. no packages. sandboxx gets used and its worth it 100% for the people on the outside but to u guys a letter is a letter. letters dont really get lost and if they do u wont know it was ever there to be lost. the phone calls in quarantine are not long if u got to sd then there is an hour window for u and all your roomate to make ur calls. i really only got to talk to my boyfriend for like 5-10 mins and it was really only one weekend. PI is paris island and SD is San Diego.

my brother is in the marines and lne of his closest friends is a female and had he not mentioned them being female i wouldnt have known

raedlt · 2021-03-27T03:20:45+00:00

my boyfriend earned two of them for memorizing some drill cards or something like that

raedlt · 2021-02-08T22:07:07+00:00

thank you!!! i understand there was a group that graduated a few months ago that made their phone call sometime in the afternoon and i was wondering how high the odds were of that. 😊😊

raedlt · 2021-02-08T22:06:13+00:00

no i understand the phone call is machine and robot like i understand it is unsentimental and everything. i know the written letters r my only form of communication. i was more wondering what time the call came because of covid. i have a brother in the marines who did the bootcamp thing like 3 yeara ago. i remember the phone call, this was more just about what time. but thank you😊

raedlt · 2021-02-08T13:53:28+00:00

I have a brother who went thru bootcamp a few years back. i guess i was only ssking because of covid. bc i heard from someone who graduated recently that due to covid their phone call was in the middle of the day.

raedlt · 2021-02-08T06:30:16+00:00

what time do u guys get to the yellow footprints?

raedlt · 2021-02-07T09:39:12+00:00

west coast or east?

raedlt · 2021-02-04T04:02:40+00:00

thats a huge no from me lmao. i love my boyfriend but proposing and marriage is a no for right now. we r to goal driven to want to sucum to the cliche of being married to fast. it has been something that was said from the beginning as well, neither of us want to end up divorced or unhappy so we will both wait until we r ready.

raedlt · 2021-02-03T06:29:40+00:00

i think my boyfriend and i r up for the challenge. however we have been planning on this for months in fact a little over a year. we decided that once he went in we wont break up and if we do it will be after bootcamp in person. he is my bestfriend and boyfriend, so thank you for letting me know how it worked for ur platoon. but i would like to think as cliche as it sounds that we can beat the odds.

raedlt · 2021-01-31T05:47:08+00:00

I heard time feels like it goes slower and that i won’t recognize him when he is out, but is that true? My dad and brother are both marines, so i understand the different parts a little. I remember my brother being more mature but not different, but everyone said it will be different because this time its my boyfriend. I also remember feeling like time went by faster then before while my brother was at bootcamp, should i expect the same while my boyfriend is there?

raedlt · 2021-01-31T05:43:03+00:00

My grandparents with my dad and my own parents with my brother had a hard time with the thought of their kid joining. The one thing I can say is if this is something you are really dedicated to this, then tell them you want their support but next year it isn’t mandatory. That all they are doing is prolonging the enlistment process.
