i wanna send mail to someone random. what is that...uhm. buddy mail?


AH PEN PALS! That's what i want to do. send some mail to someone in the military

11/13/2005 2:43:46 AM

it's your best option, dumbass.

must be a real good friend if he didnt leave contact info

11/13/2005 2:43:52 AM

probably didn't know what his address would be before he left

Duke's right - there's no way to get his address unless he gets it to you or his parents first. Especially at Ft. Benning, that place is no joke. The only guaranteed way to contact a basic trainee is through the Red Cross, and that's in cases of emergency only. If you know his parents, just ask them to get you his contact info when they get it. He'll only be there 13 weeks total anyway.

^^^Duke and I are in the military - you can send mail to me heh heh (I won't speak for him)

id hate to get sent to ft. benning, columbus, ga. is the worst city on the face of the earth.

typically they won't give civillians contact info unless there is a special situation

11/13/2005 4:07:05 PM

^recruits and candidates are allowed to send and receive mail. Usually you send a letter within te first couple days with your address.

we have this technology nowadays called email that allows people to communicate information when they know it regardless of location!

What's that old saying about "assuming"?

You're assuming he has ready access to e-mail.

the BEST case scenario is that you were trying to make a joke and it wasn't funny

the worst case is that you are clinically retarded.


you think everyone in the military always has ready access to the internet--particularly someone in boot camp?
