Question

i haven't gotten a letter from my boyfriend at boot camp!?

Answer 1

okay ill give u the most straight up answer here, at the end of the day every day you have up to but not always an hour of square a way time, the DIs can take that away if they wish, in that square away time ur expected to Hygene and everything too, so you're not left with a whole lot of time, and its not always real convenient getting to somewhere during boot camp to send that letter. Don't worry u'll eventually get one, he has a lot of stress in boot camp in the first few weeks so hes still learning to cope with it, the more he copes with it, the easier it is for him to write home. Btw they send a letter home to their parents like the second day of boot camp with their address so if you can get ahold of them then get that.



Just remember when sending him something, hes not a marine yet, so hes rec. John Doe or what ever his name is rec. stands for recruit the DIS will get on him if u put private or something like that. Also do not send him packages he will get harrased for that, pictures are alright, not sexually explict or ne thing emberassing, the DIs will see them.



Just have faith he'll be fine

Answer 2

My bf is down in GA for Army basic/infantry training. He was held in Reception for 2 weeks. I was lucky to get 4 letters from while he was in reception. But I could not send him mail back, they don't get a address till they start basic and are in a platoon. 4 days after he started basic, he was given a address. He was able to call me for a few seconds to tell me he would send out a letter to me with his address. It took a week and a few days to get to me. So you have to wait, and not worry so much. The first 5 weeks are super hard on the guys. They are learning a whole new way of living. They get NO personal time at this point. And when one guy gets in trouble,they all pay for it. Now my bf has moved onto white phrase (2nd phrase), and Im starting to get about 3 letters a week instead on 1 a week. I have only gotten one phone call. But that to takes time to earm to use the phone. So hang in there. If you can, call his parents, they should have gotten a offical letter with his address. Support him, write him often, keep your letters upbeat. And to what some others have said on here, he may not be much of a writer, he may have a few people he wants to write, and/or he just doesn't have time yet to write you.

Answer 3

You have to remember, they're really busy right now. He may have an hour of free time during the week and I think it's 4 on Sundays. But he also may be cleaning, getting things ready for the next day, making sure everything's in order, etc. Give him time. It was a couple of weeks before I got my first letter when he went into Phase I. And then in Phase II it took another 2 weeks before I got one. Just don't worry too much about it. He'll write you when he has the chance :)

Answer 4

Honestly you have nothing to worry about just like all the other people said. Hopefully there will be one coming soon. I remember when mine was in there, I don't think I got one for about a month or so. After that I got one almost once every week until towards the end because it gets so busy. They usually only have time to write on Sundays, but they also have to do all kinds of other stuff that day too. And in phase one the drill instructors usually give them very limited time too. And this goes for them being able to reading letters too. So don't freak out or anything. Just hang in there and continue to count down the days.



Also, just as a warning my boyfriends drill instructors didn't give them their letters for about 3 weeks so they had a huge stack when they did get them. This happened all throughout the 3 months he was in. But this doesnt happen all the time, just in case it does.



I do recommend that you continue to write him everyday.. it really helps them. Also, give them any news of the outside world (football scores, gas going up, election etc--anything they are interested in or would be) because they know nothing. It reminds them that there is something outside of all the crap they are going through.



Good Luck and Semper Fi.

Answer 5

Hey dont sweat he will be writing soon

i know how you feel because my boyfriend left for marine bootcamp in july hes graduating this week so im happy its over but the truth is its just begining



when he left i didnt receive a letter either but after some week i heard from his family and he had sent a letter to them that they were suppose to send about less than a week later i got one and he had told me that the 1st two days they didnt even sleep they were going to medical and dental and they had to issue out uniforms so they had there hands full

plus its up to their drill instructors if they give them free time and in that time they can write letters and fix their uniforms etc. dont be so hard on him though give him time he will write i know how it feels and when you write to him just give him encoragement and support to get him going through his day



in the end you if you wait for him it would be worth it because you will know how much you truly love him

stay strong and if you ever want to talk just send me a message

[e-mail]

Answer 6

Don't worry. They are kept busy nearly every minute of the day, and if only ONE recruit does something wrong the whole squad is prohibited from writing or phone calls. Contacting home is usually not allowed the first two weeks. Be patient

Answer 7

A Letter To My Bf

Answer 8

That's totally normal. The mail system in boot camp is really, really slow.



Plus, he's B-U-S-Y. Come on, you think this is a walk in the park where he gets all kinds of opportunities to write to everyone he knows?

Answer 9

Don't worry about it! My boyfriends brother was down in MCRD and his girl friend didn't hear from him for 5 weeks. Trust me, it is going to hurt you more to worry! My boyfriends brother was home and just (as in 1 hour ago) got on the road to go down to Pendleton so he can deploy to Iraq again. Call his parents if you want, maybe that will make you feel better. I believe the 3rd or 4th week they are required to write a letter home.

Answer 10

I went through boot camp in 1980. We were in receiving for about a week.This is where you get your hair cut, issued your gear and so forth. After that we were assigned to a platoon. The first day or two we were forced to write our family and let them know we were OK. I could not remember my girlfriends address, I had it wrote down but they took all of my personal stuff and held it until I left. She contacted my family and got my address and wrote me. I don't remember exactly how long all this took but I do remember she was upset that I had not written. Don't freak out, he has a lot on his mind. If you can find his address, I promise he would love to hear from you. Good luck

Answer 11

I will , my daughter was in boot camp and I her mom never got a letter either. They are very busy training. You will hear soon Pray for him and wait be patient. He is doing a wonderful thing for his country.

Answer 12

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/SO56b

This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

Answer 13

he only gets a couple of hours each week to do personal stuff. If he was never much of a letter writer before he left..he won't magically become one now.



I didn't get a single one. and My stepson didn't write anyone either.

Answer 14

They are really busy in boot camp. I know it sucks, but I sure he's fine just worn out.

Answer 15

He's rather busy. Call his parents and get his address and write to him. But he has a whole lot more on his plate than writing home.

Answer 16

he's not writing that's what's going on. he is working at a full time job that is not a 8 hour a day job. when he has time he will write if he wants to. not to be mean, but he may not wish to write you.
