Send letters, be positive and don’t forget to focus on your own happiness! It’s difficult but nothing worth having comes easily. Soon your recruit starts to get used to boot camp and you get used to being without them. You have to get used to not having your best friend by your side 24/7 and it sucks, however, it does get easier. There are moments when I’ll see something that reminds me of a memory he and I share and it’ll make me sad, but the sadness doesn’t last long.
I won’t lie, it’s really difficult at times. Do you have any advice for future military girlfriends?ĭon’t give up on your recruit. Go out with friends, take walks, go to the movies, paint, dance, do anything that makes you happy. It doesn’t matter what you do, just do something. Always having something to do or somewhere to go keeps my mind off of him. I found that for me, keeping busy helps me stay positive.
What do you do instead of hanging out with him? It can be difficult on a family when their loved one goes away for training, so knowing that you are there supporting them helps a lot. Yes! I talk to him mom a few times a week to see how she’s doing. I use encouraging phrases like, “I believe in you” and “you got this” regularly. Training is hard, mentally and physically, so it’s extremely important that they know there are people rooting for them. At this point I start to give him a pep talk. Once I’ve told him about my day I’ll go on to tell him how much I miss and love him. If something bad happened that day I refrain from telling him about it because it’s important for these letters to be positive, the last thing your recruit needs is to be worried about you. I try to tell him funny stories to lift his spirits as often as I can. I lay on my bed at the end of the day and start off the letter with what happened that day. What do you write about?Īnything and everything. I think it’s important to write as often as you can because it really does help them get through their rigorous training. I try to send him a letter everyday before I go to bed from the Sandboxx app. Send a Letter with SANDBOXX anytime, anywhere How often do you write? My recruit is down at Parris Island so it takes about 4-5 days for a letter to get to me. It was about 2 weeks before I received my first letter from him. How long did it take for you to receive the first letter? His mom had tracked down someone that worked at the local recruiting office in order to get the address. It took about 1-2 weeks to receive his address. How long did it take you to get his address?
