Dec
4. How often did you hear from him? (Phone and
letters) Letters everyday phone calls maybe once a weekend
5. How long was it before you heard from him
the first time? three days
6. How long did it take to receive a mailing
address for him? about a month but I wrote him everyday until I got
it
7. Were there any restrictions on what you
could send him? no food or anything like that and if I sent him
pictures his drill sgts had to look at them first. Like once I sent
him a picture and I had on this shirt with a tank top underneath and
I'm top heavy so I guess I was showing to much cleavage so his drill
sgt took it and told him he could have it back after graduation
8. Were you sent information about family day

describe. Yeah he did first they had a beret ceremony and then they
could go off post and had to be back around 8 and that was it.
10. Please describe the graduation ceremony.
It was long and kind of boring they had the band playing and then
they did some drills which was cute and then they came out stood at
attention for like 45 minutes some guy talked forever and it was
about an hour and a half too long.
11. Is there a website for his basic training
unit? Is there a place to see pictures of his training online? I
don't think so
12. Any other tips or information? just keep
your head up and take it one day at a time. You can get through it
if you just think positive
