I am going into basic and tech school for the Air Force this fall, and I have read that you can GET letters, but can you also write back? My g/f is atleast wanting to hear from me from time to time. I was just wondering what I can do and what I cant do.

Yes you can recieve and you also can write them as much as you want. Good luck in the military.
You can right and send letters EVERY day, provided you have postage to mail them.
You can write all that you have time for.
Just bring alot of stamps. Everything else you can get there.
Good luck
Yes, You are allowed to read and write letters. Sometimes you have to find places to write like in church or the bathroom in Basic. Once you get to Tech School you are more on your own. You can write letters as much as you want when you are not in school. You shouldn’t have a problem
You can’t write letters all the time–it depends on how well your flight performs. If you do well, you’ll have more time to read letters and respond, and possibly even make phone calls. Do NOT have any one send you “care packages” until you get to tech school–you will NOT be allowed to open them during basic; if you are, the contents will probably be used to make fun of you. Have your girlfriend send you letters, and tell her you’ll write as much as you can, but don’t promise that you’ll write her every day.
When you get to tech school, things are a lot different. You’ll work your way towards freedoms, like civilian clothes, time off base, etc. If you have a short tech school, it’s no big deal at all and you may not even want her to try sending you things because they may not get there before you leave!
