A Family's Guide to Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC

[wordswoman]

It's been almost two years since my husband went to Ft. Jackson for BCT (Basic Combat Training). But I remain obsessed with the Ft. Jackson page on Facebook, haunting it in hopes that I can be helpful to other new Army families who are as dazed & bewildered as I was in those early weeks

This is awesome stuff, Jaye.

Aww, thanks sweetie! I just remember how bewildering this all was, when Theo went. Hopefully I can help a few other families be less dazed & confused.

Heh...I knew you'd been in the Army, Jason, but didn't realize you did BCT at Ft. Jackson! Where were you stationed after?

Thank you for this...it's good to know others are in the same 'worry-boat' as you.

You are welcome! I have been in that boat, which is why I wanted to put this together. :)

Oh, I remember Ft.Jackson and Tank Hill. I was an only child and went there like pvt. Benjamin. I had curling irons, make up etc. The DI told me to carry all those bags by myself up that hill. Now, my son is at Ft. Jackson.

Very informative post. It's pretty much 100% accurate in 2012 as it was when you first wrote it.

Thanks!
