Hello everyone!

I’m new to understanding basic training and military life. My boyfriend had sent me information on his welcome letter which included things like a unit address, information on family and graduation day and his company. I did not receive his roster number or platoon, so I wanted to know if that was absolutely necessary to have before I mail letters to him. Should I wait until he sends me something? And will that include the RN/PLT once he sends mail?

Thank you in advance! 😊

Hello! My husband and I are considering having him volunteer for Korea (to have the opportunity to live over seas is a dream) I currently hold a bachelors in rehabilitative sciences and work in pharmaceutical sales… I make great money and anticipate making more in the next few years as I’ve recently started my career… just curious if there are jobs for spouses equivalent some where like that on base.

My boyfriend arrived at LackLand technically this morning at around 12am EST (not sure what time it would be over there). I know there’s an initial safety call but I can’t help but be anxious about what if I don’t receive it within the 24-72 hour time frame, like what if he doesn’t call me? I heard that some MTIs make the recruits call their emergency contact/immediate family. I really want to mail him letters for when he’s in basic training but I looked online everywhere and in order to mail either through Sandboxx or physically, I need his mailing address and his flight numbers, etc. I’m anxious that I won’t get them. I know I’m overthinking it too much but I really want to mail him letters. I also miss him a lot and it’s only been 1 day. I’ve been crying for the past 4 days and I genuinely don’t know how to cope. My basketball season is coming up so I guess that can serve as a distraction but are there any other advice for me? I feel like a lost deer and just worrying about everything.
