:) My husband graduates from basic at Ft Jackson on the 28th. His drill sergeants said we cant "be" together?

Question

What my husband exactly said is that a few of the guys were asking when they and their wives can have some "adult time". The drill sergeants then said that they think about that stuff too much and that even on family day and graduation there will be no shacking up. Now, Ive never heard that before. I dont know if the D.S's were just giving them a hard time or not. But im freaking out cause its been umm a long time for me and my hubby and hes down about it and so am I.

So I got 2 questions for those that have graduated from Ft Jackson is that true? and are there good places to sneak off too if thats the case? Cause there is NO way were gonna wait till he finishes AIT

Answer 1

I graduated from Ft. Jackson but this was some time ago.  When I went on family day you had to stay on post, so no s*x.  But on the day of graduation we were allowed to leave post with out families, but we were warned not to be out of uniform at any time.  I went to my parents hotel and went swimming. oops wasn't supposed to be out of uniform but it didn't harm anyone.

If you do not get a chance then you don't get a chance sorry, but everyone here is right.  My hubby's last deployment was 15 months long.  If you are going this crazy at not quite 3 months you need to find some way to take care of your needs.  I understand s*x is awesome but you are an army wife and you are going to have to do 12 month stretches from time to time.  

Get yourself some toys and take care of your own!

Answer 2

He will gain privileges at AIT...bide your time.

Answer 3

The Drill Sergeants can do almost anything they want in Basic Training with their recruits. Not that they CAN but they WILL.Their main goal in Basic Training is to put you down completely, they want to break you, they will tell you you're worth nothing, they will tell you your woman in a w***e, they will do whatever it takes to break you down. Why? So they can build you back up their way, the Army way. One buddy even told me when he was in Basic Training they had a "Wall of Hoes". When guys got pictures of their wives, fiances, and girlfriends they had to put them up on the "Wall of Hoes". Why? To degrade you, to make you feel like nothing. Then they build you up their way, like I said before.  

Answer 4

Graduation(Fort Knox) for me was..

Friday night, in quarters,  cleaning the barracks, packing all but your toilet articles and your dress uniform for the next day. No free time.

Saturday, wake up, dress, breakfast, hurry up and wait. Then a parade and a long-winded speech from a general.

After that, turn in your weapons, lunch,. and a mad dash to the bus terminal to get to the airport at Louisville to catch a plane for our next duty((AIT)) assignment.

    

Answer 5

if he doesn't get permission to leave the base,  there will be no nookie.  he will not be permitted any PDAs while in uniform and he MUST be in uniform while on base or in public.  they only way you could get any   nookie is if he got permission to leave base and you went back to your hotel room together.  

nothing more strenuous that an peck on the lips on base.  he can't even hold your hand while walking around.  

think of it as practice for deployments.. going 6-12 months or longer.

Answer 6

Get use to it being longer. Boot Camp and AIT are NOTHING compared to deployments. Be an adult and wait, you are his wife, not some tag wh*re.

Answer 7

I'm sure you could find a place to do it, but drill sgts are accountable for soldiers until they bus them to AIT and they have to have a rigid set of rules or some idiot will get drunk and kill someone.

And I wouldn't get on a public forum and say I was a swinger. Just sayin'...

Answer 8

If he gets permission to have family time, then maybe?

But if he was warned not to go to hotels or the likes I would not risk it. He could put his career in serious jeopardy. Don't you think that the base will be looking out for misbehavior? Especially on training commands there is always someone watching.

If he gets caught getting a quickie, he will be busted. He may miss going to his school and have to be delayed in legal hold. When ever they get it straightened out and he is lucky enough to get another school it probably won't be something he wants. Any you all will have to wait even longer for "adult time".

Just be woman enough to wait it out. I am sure it won't kill either of you. I know it is hard but don't risk getting him in trouble over something that can wait.

Answer 9

Dear lady I am assuming nothing here but you did ask a question, so here's my answer for what it is worth.  I have some familiarity with graduating from Basic Training at Fort Jackson  as I myself did in March of 1967 passing in review to the rousing martial strains of 'Put on Your Easter Bonnet' played by the 3d Army Band.  The Drills are yanking a lot of chains here.  Those Neandrathals can't get their jollies anymore by browbeating 'Cruits' so they do it in more subtle ways now.  Your husband will be graduating from BCT so therefore he is a SOLDIER now and as such will be able to enjoy the...uh...more human aspect of whatever that implies.  Yes there will be time even if it is only one night in the post guesthouse before moving on to AIT.  The Green Machine (the Army) is not inhuman only insensative and fun loving.  Good luck to you and please thank your hubby for his service for me.  I am an Old Soldier who had no family at his graduation.  Good luck to you dear lady.

Answer 10

When my little brother graduated basic the family got to take him out to lunch before he had to go back. If you get that opportunity I would suggest you use it. Other wise a quickie in the bathroom :) (I know no PDA in uniform, but please!) If not well there is an Army wife saying... Batteries are cheaper than a Divorce.

Answer 11

If you two are so worried about it, know this.

The Army is the WORST Branch for anyone with a family.

Basic is only 9 weeks(Compared to 13 with the Marines)

Be grateful you actually got to talk to him while he is in Basic. Most never get to call only write if that.

And deployments are ONE-Year.

Answer 12

If you can't wait I'd be happy to take care of your needs

Answer 13

It can wait, it is true and there are no places, what no self control...what are you going to do when he deploys for a year!
