You get internet access during boot camp? Man when I went through all I got was letters! Good luck...where are you going for your schooling?

Wow, times HAVE changed!!!! We got mail almost everyday and got town pass/town liberty on our last weekend of basic. (I went home since my parents lived right off base and my father was a drill instructor, but not MY drill instructor)

The only people who had access to computers were the crypto guys working with codes........most everything else was done with keypunch machines and cards!!!!!
