Fort Jackson

really that's pretty cool! I'm going to school to be a Nurses assistant. Then I want to go back to be a guidance counselor. Lol two different things I know...but, I'm very indecisive about things. I'm always changing my mind about something, it shouldn't be funny but it is lol

really? that's a pretty good amount of time. I mean I would like to get married but, I'm not going to rush it. Even though it would make things alot easier. But, I'm perfectly fine waiting for him. We just gotta keep ourselves busy while their gone. It sure isn't going to be is being without our b/fs but, its going to make us stronger.

Well, he'll be active duty for 3.5 years..then he'll be inactive duty for 4 years..I mean he can come home on leave or I can go see him..but, if he's deployed he could be gone 6 - 18 months then you don't get to see them. We haven't been together for long we were friends for like a year and half and we been dating for 3 months. I mean it feels like we've been together for a long time lol but, he saids he wants to marry me. But, idt we want it to be anytime soon. Yeah believe you and me I am most definately freaking out too!

I know a few times at work I've seen a few Army men in uniform and I think to myself awww I wish that was my "h-word" nickname for him lol...or when my sisters boyfriend and her are all cuddling up with each other n whatever...it makes me really sad and jealous...ugh and its harder if your just the Army g/f because your not allowed to live with them on post..and their not allowed to live off post unless their married...it's like so, what are you suppossed to do. Especially, if they are stationed far away or like for instance there's an 80% chance he'll be deployed after AIT. So, do you try and get a place wherever he goes and chance him being deployed or do you wait for 3.5 years til he can come back home?

right..but, if we weren't motivating them the whole time and supporting them they would have never made it :) but, I'm proud of my b/f but, I knew he would make it.

haha right..they'll probably just take a good look at me and be like "no, she has to go home now" lol

I know I wouldn't have been able to do any push ups...but, that's probably a good thing I'm not in the military..probably even wouldn't make it through day one.

Really? Haha..I asked my b/f if he had to push-ups for pictures and stuff he didn't even answer my question, lol. Oh well, he's almost done now...and I was sending him letters just about everyday lol poor thing.

The letters seem to increase once they start getting yours. It usually takes two weeks from the day they finished at reception to start receiving letters. I know I am super excited to see my boyfriend in less than two weeks. Even though its really stressful trying to get ready and whatever. But, it will all be worth it once I get to see him. Then we gotta do it all over again for 14 weeks. But, atleast they get to come home from Christmas, yay :)!

I have a boyfriend in Basic at Ft. Jackson he graduates October 11. I got my first phone call after a month of him being there on September 3. It wasn't for very long but, those 5 mins were the best 5 mins of my life :). I'm not sure if you plan on going to graduation but, if so start setting money aside for the trip. Family day is on a wednesday and they won't be able to leave post. But, Thursday on Graduation day they will be able to leave. If you need somebody to talk to just message me :)

Hi you commented on my story but I'll just post here instead. My boyfriend started basic training August 31. I haven't heard from it yet either and its really tough so I know how you feel. Is Fort Jackson the most common one in SC? Anyway we both just have to stay strong! I'm pretty sure our boyfriends miss us just a little bit more. We'll be getting a call or a letter soon I hope :)
