When someone leaves for basic (army) and is going to be there until jan. what do u do to keep from being bored

Question

and to stop crying because you miss them so much

Answer 1

You are gonna need to learn to be independant.  Find some hobbies, make friends, find things that take your mind of things.  This is something you are gonna have to learn to deal with if you want to be with a person in the military.  You have to remember that its gonna be hard on them too, and that its not their fault if they have to be away from you.  Also remember that when he is gone, he may not have the time or opportunities to call you and write you as often as you would like, and try not to get upset with him over that, just let him know how much you appreciate when he does write or call.

Answer 2

write to him every time you think of him, like i did when my (now) husband was in basic. show him how much you love him! and you can volunteer with your local USO and feel like you're doing something close to him :) hang in there sweetie!

Answer 3

It's okay to cry because you miss someone. However, you can write that person in Boot Camp, everyday if you'd like. Go to some websites like www.goarmy.com. They have videos that show you what an entire cycle of Basic is like. You can feel closer to that person knowing what their day is like. Also remember it's not forever.

Answer 4

Keep your self busy find a job, join a gym that will keep you in shape and take some time out of your day
