he left last Monday, but didn’t ship until Tuesday, he went to Fort Lenerwood Missouri, he for got to leave me his ako email address, so i don’t know what it is, and i don’t know were to send a letter. can you help me?
john– just for your info, my boyfriend has been with me for six years, i am the only thing that matters to him, and i am the one who told him to join the military, so why dont you just stick to the question i asked.
Going to take a couple weeks for him to give you an address. Relax, he’s busy right now.
the best thing to do is to just wait for him to write you. when i went through basic i was to busy to write any1 for the first week i was there, but they give you a phonecall to let some1 know you made it there allright.
Put your big girl panties on and wait, he will either write, email or call you. And it’s Ft Leonard Wood.
At best, your boyfriend won’t have an address to give you until next monday. When he got to Ft. Leonard Wood, he went to reception battalion and would stay there for up to a week for inprocessing.
However, he would NOT be there long enough to be given a mailing address. Have a bit of patience and you will hear from him, but don’t expect to get a lot of letters at first, because he will be either too busy or too tired to write, at least until he adapts to life as a Basic Trainee.
Stop waiting for a reply, hes probably dead by now.
He will not go straight to his BCT unit but will spend at a minimum 3 days at the Reception Battalion at Fort Leonard Wood. At most he will be in Reception for a week barring any medical problems. Once he arrives at his BCT that evening his Drill Sergeants will make them all sit down and write a letter home telling family how to contact them. It is important to us that they receive letters as it is a way for them to get a break during training. Your boyfriend might choose to write his mother or father as his time will be short, but assuming you have a good relationship with mom and dad, they should pass it along to you.
If you don’t hear anything in the next week, email me and I will see what I can do.
email. LOL, they don’t have email in basic, atleast they didn’t 10 years ago, god I hope they don’t allow that!
either way, you’ll have to wait until he contacts you.
after 2 weeks and no contact, take it as a sign and read the book “he’s just not that into you.”
I really don’t know what it like now but way back when I was in they made us send our address to our parents in the first couple of days. Contact them and get his address and send him a letter. It may take a while to get an answer. Hang in there.
You will not be able to email him. You will only be able to write him letters and he should call you or write you with his address. And he will not be able to write as much as you seem to want him to do. He will be extremely busy and tried the whole time there.
You will be able to write to him much much more and try not to get upset about him not writing or calling you more. It is not his choice, he just will not have the chance to do so. I know a few times that my husband choose sleep over writing me a letter and that is okay. I knew he was okay.
You will just have to wait until he contacts you, usually about 2-4 days after he gets to where he is going.
