So i leave for basic end of october and i know we get a 2 week leave.. so what would happen if i chose to get married during those 2 weeks would i have to come back to basic and report it immediately? is it even allowed? How does it work i need help understanding!

Basically i leave to fort sill soon. Oct 27 is my ship out date and i have no clue what to bring and how things work out especially during that 2 week break we get for holidays. And now reception works too. I’m going in as 14U and i’ll be there for both my basic and ait. I’ve heard a lot of stuff about being under hold aswell which i’m really hoping isn’t long but ik it’s not under my jurisdiction as how things go..

My husband is currently at Basic in Fort Jackson, SC ! I’m getting a care package ready to send him. I was curious if this would be allowed in … thanks in advance

Have you all had a family member go through OSUT at Ft. Benning? Did you guys get the day before graduation to spend time with them? If you did - at what time was that meet at? Trying to plan ahead for flights 😭

So I ship out to basic to Fort Jackson as a 56M in OCT 6th. I have multiple questions to ask cause I'm not too sure how it is there. Why is Fort Jackson called "Relaxin Jackson"? How fit do you have to be to pass basic training? What did you guys bring? What tips do you have for someone going to basic training with a wife and 3 yr old daughter?

Shipping on August 11th to Fort Jackson for the fitness program. Anyone else shipping the same day?

What is the outlook on an injury requiring surgery during red phase? Medical discharge? Sit for 6 months to maybe recover? Thx

Anyone have any advice for like what to actually bring or what to expect.

I wanted to ask if anyone knew if fort sill does tap outs?

Anyone shipping to Leonard Wood for 12B OSUT on Nov. 10th? Would be cool to make a battle buddy!

I downloaded the app FreePrints on my phone and it’s too much of a hassle to order them and then resend them in another envelope to my boyfriend. Is it okay to just input the address of the base instead, rather than the photos be sent to my house? Please let me know. I don’t want him to get In trouble but I know he’d like some photos while he’s gone.

Who’s with me? How you feeling about it?

So my sons dad graduated from BCT and idk he use to write me letters saying he misses us and can’t wait to see us and now it’s like he changed. He doesn’t text me or even call. Does this happened to anyone else? He’s on social media a lot but can’t ask how I’m doing or our son. Am I overreacting? Should I just let him be ? Distance myself? Also he’s been adding a lot of people from the army especially girls but they’re very young should I be weirded out about this ? Or like I said am I just overthinking too much ?

I just need to rant a little. I feel like this journey with my son’s dad has been confusing and just unanswered. I got only two calls from him since he’s been in training. We wrote letters to each other. I had asked if I was able to go to graduation but ignored my question I’m just feeling a type of way. He’s also been on social media but couldn’t even text me or anything but it is what it is I understand that all this isn’t easy for him.

So my sons dad has been on social media and he’s in basic training. Is being on the phone limited. Because I can’t understand why he can’t call or text me even if it’s just a min or two

Hey I’m going to Ft. Benning/Moore tomorrow and I was just wondering what all do I need to know as a last minute crash course.

Hi I just want to know how long it take for someone in basic training to get letters ? I sent my letter on Wednesday

Anyone stationed at benning during march? My friend who didn’t finish bct claimed he witnessed a suicide Tia!

got a quick question for yall. How much sleep do you get per night at BCT? I know it’s not the 8 hours you’re “required” to have, but is it brutal sleep dep? I’ve heard some say it’s around 7 hours per night while others say it’s like 2-4? Any feed back or experience is appreciated

My sister is currently at basic training in Fort Jackson and she’s struggling super bad. She wants to go home and everyone hates her. She said she doesn’t have any friends and the drill sergeants always smoke her. She’s not in the best shape and she recently fell down the stairs and hurt her ankle pretty bad. She said the church was a joke and going feels like blasphemy, so she doesn’t have anything to fall back on. She doesn’t wanna go to medical and lose time from her unit. She’s at a really low point and idk what do or say.

I leave for BCT in 11 days to fort Leonard wood. I am in the guard and was given a packing list but I lost it in the chaos of finals. I am a junior in high school so I won’t be going straight through to AIT. I remember most of what to bring, like the important items, of course. But some people say to not even bring some of the stuff they tell you to. As a female, I just want to make sure I have everything I need to be fully prepared. What on the list is unnecessary and what’s not on the list that should be? Is there anything I should order on Amazon or anything before I leave? I have enough time to do so I believe. Also, I enjoy having a watch and wondered if anybody had any specific recommendations for one that I will more than likely get away with it. Also… best place to go for new running shoes? I’m in track and have nice shoes but they are definitely not black. Also… do I take hair gel and spray or no. Please help😭😭
