phone calls

hello. this is a dumb question but i keep getting mixed answers.
do recruits get to make a phone call every sunday at BMT? and are they allowed to get their devices at all for a few minutes? i have a loved one in bmt and i don’t know everything. thanks.

girlfriends with boyfriends in the military

hey!
i’ve started to really like this reddit page because i said something on another military page about my situation and i got bashed hard for just missing my boyfriend while he’s at basic training right now (USCG). i love hearing all these stories that are similar to mine and it gives me comfort knowing im not alone. im doing fine, my bf just left a few days ago so ive been working on myself and doing the things i love, but of course sometimes it gets hard when all i want to do is speak to him.
are there any girlfriends with boyfriends who are currently training or deployment? how is going for you? i would love to hear your story!

hey yall!

my bf of 10 months is going to boot camp for the coast guard in about 2 weeks. i am super excited and proud of him for taking this journey to support his future and i think its overall an good idea…. but it will suck for me.

my bf and i are already medium distance with a 4 hour drive between us. we get the see each other a few times a month since he has a job and i go to school. so far, our relationship has been really good at handling the distance. but i’m scared for how i will survive these 13 weeks without constant communication.

it will be super weird going from calling each other every day to nothing at all. we will be sending each other letters but from my knowledge, they don’t get to write often. so i am asking, how can i distract or at least be okay and fix my dependency on him?

i would also love to hear y’all’s stories and how it went for you and what you did; it’ll help me lot through this process.

thanks!
