What should I get my friend who is leaving for military training?

Question

He's 20. We're good friends and he leaving for 9 months. I want to get him something that is inexpensive that he would like. Any ideas?

I'll give best answer! Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Yes, I agree, Sleep with him, and send him a phone card. When he calls you promise him s*x, then when he gets back, sleep with him again

Answer 2

He won't be able to take anything with him.

Answer 3

I agree you should sleep with him. You dont look to bad and it will give him somthing to thik about in training. Best of all...it cost NOTHING....unless he has Herpes then it might get expensive.

Answer 4

Honestly what i tell everyone to get a soldier is a Saint Michael medallion to wear with his id tags. Saint Michael is the patron of paratroopers and all military and law enforcement. this he can take with him.

Answer 5

a phone card or refillable visa card.

Answer 6

From the female perspective if you sleep with him now he will go and tell everyone when he is in training.  If you make him wait then he has something to look forward too.  Plus you have respected yourself in not doing it.  

I would get him phone cards, self-stamped addressed envelopes, address book filled out and photos.  These are the things that will keep him going.  Plus I agree with someone else who said to write him alot and don't expect alot back.  He will be super busy and will probably not have alot of time to write you.  However the mail he gets on a daily basis will motivate him to continue through the roughest of times.

These things he will remember and carrying them in his heart for a long time to come.  Other than that until he leaves you need to pump him up and let him know what a selfless, patriotic and honorable thing he is doing.  Not everyone has the guts to do this.

Good Luck and just follow your heart!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

You have some good suggestions here!  A phone Card, or take him out to do something, or a picture.

Make sure to write because the only way a soldier in basic sees the outside world is through letters, and mail time is important.  Although you can't really send him much in basic without getting him in trouble, letters and pictures are always appreciated!

Also give him self addressed, stamped envelopes and paper, so writing you is easier!

Answer 8

Sleep with him.   It's inexpensive (most of the time) and will give him something to look forward to when he gets back.

Answer 9

If he is going to basic then he will not be able to have anything anyway, however if it just some kind of school then just get him sometihng sentimental, kinda like a photo album full of friends and family that he can look at when he gets home sick. That is something that he can have in basic or in a school. Other then that I really dont know unless you wanna get him something like a PSP to have on his down time.

Answer 10

A d***o.

Answer 11

The best thing you can do is plan an event or outing that he will soon not forget . . . a baseball game or something like that. He can't take any material possessions with him, but he can take his memories. If you are in fact, his girl . . . go to the photomat at the mall and take some pics in the booth. After he is settled you can send him something once he is there . . . if you want to make him  a well liked guy send enough cookies for his whole company, pictures, a small trinket, money is kind of short the first few weeks . . . you get the drift
