My husband is enlisted in the National Guard. Before he left for basic, he told me, his family, and all his friends that he will not be writing or calling us during his entire stay at basic and technical training because it would make it harder for him to hear our voices or talk to us about things from home. However, he did tell us he wanted us to write him to give words of encouragement and advice. He told me to call the bases he will be stationed at to get his address for everyone so he won’t have to call.

Here’s the thing: YES you can call a base and get someone’s address. It is not classified information. The US Air Force website says that you should call the Basic Military Reception Center to get a trainee’s address if you have not received a phone call. All you need is his name, and they’ll read it to you line for line. My husband was also told this by a sergent at drill. Anyone who wants to tell me that I can’t get his information or that they aren’t so supposed to give it out is WRONG.

Anyway, he forgot to tell us the base he’ll be stationed at during tech school. I know him, and no matter what he will not call us even if he doesn’t receive any letters from us. It’s just the way he is. He’s too determined not to be reminded of home or hear our voices. His parents and I are worried that he’ll not realize we can’t get in contact with him and feel forgotten by us. So I’m asking:

Since I could call the Basic Military Training Reception Center and get his address, could I do that when he is at tech school? We do not know the actual word for what his individual training will be, but we do know that he’ll be loading cargo planes. Could you tell me what this is if you can? Thanks.

P.S. I’m giving all this extra information because when I last posted this question everyone who answered wanted to tell me his dumping me or that I’m not supposed to be able to get his address - it’s “classified”. This is a great, ignorant assumption and I ask that no one do it here. Just answer the question please. Thanks =]
Okay, LOOK. For anyone who wants to repost their stupidity on this question too:

I reposting this not to hear the answer I want but to hear any answer at all! All you’ve given me is an arrogant statement that you know what’s up with my husband.

YOU DO NOT KNOW MY HUSBAND. His has severe anxiety problems, and something like basic training IS like war for him. He didn’t decide that he didn’t want to write or call us until he went to pre-basic and saw how hard it would be for him. Calling or writing home will make him more homesick - it’s just the way he is. He will not call even if he wants to. Can’t you realize that you do not know him or his situation and accept that I know what the heck I’m talking about?

Call me a stalker, I don’t care. I guess his mom, his dad, his brothers and sisters, and all five of his friends are stalkers too since they told me to go in this website to find out how to contact him?
First I called him my boyfriend because we don’t want a few people to know we’re married and they know me on here…but I had to add that we were married to get it through your skulls that this isn’t a silly break-up.
Okay I almost completely forgot, James J. Seeing as how you’re an airman can you tell me how many people can come to a basic training graduation? There’s about fifteen people who want to fly out there. His parents and I are getting saving our money to drive together to San Antonio. Is there a limit on the number of people who can come?
