I thought that it was time for me to start talking to my military girlfriends. Of course, I know that some fiancees and wives are going through this too, but since I was a girlfriend during this time I thought I would dedicate this towards them.
Throughout basic training pictures will be posted of your soldier while he/she is doing different training task on Facebook. Also there is a page dedicated towards answering all type of questions, comments, and concerns that you may have at the time of family day or graduation.
My solider graduated from Fort Jackson, SC so this is where my focus will be on.
Whoever the soldier puts on his contact sheet will receive all the information about where everything will be located and directions to get there.
Family Day:
- Be Early! (1 or 2 hours)

Hi, Nitra! I found your blog while Googling for Army wives at Fort Hood--my fiancé is currently stationed there and I'll be moving there this summer, after we're married! I look forward to reading your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Get ready for the HOTTTT SUMMER.
DeleteI found ur account thru google images lol and I was wondering what do you mean hands free on graduation day....I am a new army wife and my soldier graduates from ft. benning in less than a month! thank you for all your posts and all the information you give other girlfriends and wives!
ReplyDeleteHi! What I mean by hands free is. The soldiers hand should be free at all times especially the right hand in case he has to salute one of the higher ranks.
DeleteThanks so much for taking the time out to read my blog. I truly appreciate it. If you have anymore question please don't hesitate to ask.
