army girlfriend (new)

Hi I was in the Air Force 8 yrs. On my Initial Training we LOVED mail - it was the highlight of the day!   It wasn't withheld, ever. 

I'd write once a week or so unless you have lots and lots of news and feel the need to write more often - go for your life! 

Also, 'care packages' were very highly rated too (packages containing choc fish, fav treats, a magazine etc).  Keep in mind being able to go shopping while on Initial Training is a privilege - so often it doesn't happen for a few weeks - hence a lack of lollies.

OK talk to me, been through this. IOT is very hard and don't expect to hear from him for a little while. My DH did this in 2008 and it is very hard - both mentally and physically.

I live and work in Waiouru so know a few things. OCS isn't the only thing there we are a small camp but we have the training schools - both for Officer Cadets and Recruits but also most of the training schools for the corps.

With his mail, wait to hear from him as to what can be sent, some staff will let them have their mail (and the treats), however some of them make them share everything. I know a few of the staff there, but with posting round last year a heap of people got posted out of OCS and now I don't know who is there now.

If you want to know anymore, PM me and I can try and help you out.
