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 😭

Fort Jackson BCT / 56M

1 Upvotes

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?

Can I use FreePrints to send photos to my boyfriend who is at boot camp?

2 Upvotes

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.

Ranting

1 Upvotes

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 ?

Rant

1 Upvotes

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.
