How to Survive BASIC TRAINING as a Spouse❤️

Having your other half leave for basic training can be very difficult! I went through it, and now I have so many tips for you! I hope this video helps you, please reach out to me if you have any questions about the process❤️ I do want to note that my soldier is National Guard, 11C, and trained at Ft Benning. Your soldiers training period and privileges may be different than mine depending on the MOS and base they go to! However, the basic acronyms and phases remain the same. It’s AIT that creates the huge difference because that’s where they learn about their specific job!! I got calls once every three weeks, running from 20-40 minutes! It was always the Sunday before the next phase. Resources: WATCH MORE ABOUT BASIC TRAINING:    • Basic Training: The Making of a Soldier   BASIC PHASES: https://nationalguard.com/basic-comba...
