  Thank you for your kind words. It wont be an issue! Honestly, it depends on the sergeants decision if he wants to do it everyday but usually its every weekends because they get to rest and its like their “reward” but I dont think that will be an issue.

  Hi! I recommend staying on post if you can get an accommodation. They have 3 hotels on post that I know of. I stayed off post on my first visit and that was a mistake considering I didn’t rent a car. The taxi was expensive about $200. I would rent a car. I stayed at Gavin Hall for 3 days (on post.) I believe there is Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn I believe on post and they have a shuttle to go anywhere on post.

  hi dear!!! any stamps will do! :) the weight of your letter determines how much stamps you stick. i usually just put one or two depending if there’s a couple of letters and pictures in one envelope. you can write as many as you want! :) as for the data, im not sure what carrier he has but he should be able to use it. its just, after reception, they are only given a couple minutes literally 1-5minutes tops to contact someone just to inform them of the address and that they got there safely.

Your video is just what I needed because I was soooo confused with the info she sent me ( they only let her send a pic of the info and I haven’t spoken to her since ) I’m a wreck but i’m getting through it. Btw you are absolutely beautiful. Also it doesn’t give me her rank, all the other info is there except that

  My boyfriend is in basic training for the military and they usually start you off as an E1. However, they did have opportunities for him to rank up to E2 if he passed the physical test. If your daughter talked about or went to an extra physical test she might be an E2, if not then everyone starts out as an E1.
