I want to send him a rosary because they stole his on the 2nd day he got to Ft. Sill Oklahoma but i asked his mom since she is the one that know what we can send them and she told me i cant send it to him and no music cards and no to tell him i love you or stuff like that because they use anything like that against them to harass them i just want to know what kind of stuff i can write him because i don’t want to get him in trouble or for him to have a hard time I also would like to know when is his family getting his mailing address so i can write him or if its possible to send this the letters i wrote for him!!
-Thanks i appreciate your help!!
the hell is a rosary?
Hey! my brother was in the air force and he says just dont send anything too personal.. pictures and such will be posted on a billboard for everyone to see. even if your boyfriend doesnt want it to happen. if another guys sees it, then they all will.
Umm you most definately can tell him you love him tho.. if someone harasses him for that they’re just a loser lol
He can obtain a rosary from the Catholic Chaplain. He can’t get into trouble for anything you send him (unless it is illegal to own), but they can harass him for certain items.
I’d just wait to send him anything along those lines until he has completed training.
The DS wont mess with his letter but if there is something in it he will go through it. They wont read Personal letters though. Pictures are different. They might only allow him 1 picture posted at a time. when i went through basic at Ft Benning we could have pics but could only put 1 up in our wall locker. We could hide pics many guys had hidden pics of there girls hidden in bibles or different hiding spots. There’s a good chance other people will see any picture you send so don’t send him something that you don’t mind 50 other guys looking at.
My fiance is in basic at ft Jackson… I tell him I love him, i miss him, and that I’ll always support him in every letter I write..I bought a card I’m sending to him but it’s just a plain, simple I miss you card.. but no music! : )
You should probably not concern yourself to much with it. He is in BCT he has to much on his plate to worry about things like that. Right now all his attention is on the DI(Drill Instructors) and won’t be thinking of much else. Why people think BCT is a social gathering is beyond me. Just be patient and when he gets through BCT he may get some time to come home before AIT you can give it to him then. However he may go right into AIT but even if he does you can send it to him then.
I would agree on no music cards. Keep it simple and he should be fine. As far as saying, “I love you and miss you.” I don’t see any harm in that, I wrote that to my boyfriend at the time when he was in basic. He should’ve been given an intial phone call to his parents to let them know he arrived safe and given a mailing address at that time. Try calling his parents and see if they heard from him or if they have the address. Good luck.
Some punctuation would be good.
He did not have his rosary stolen , it was removed for safety reasons. with all the work he is doing rings on the fingers , watches , necklaces can catch on things and cause injury.
Soldiers have lost fingers jumping off the back of trucks and their Wedding ring catches, broken wrists from watch straps catching and grenades have had pins pulled by necklaces catching…sounds stupid but it is true.
