The above link is for Fort Jackson. I give it as an example of what to look for on Facebook. Many training units have individual pages and by starting on the main page it gives you a great place to ask questions and be directed to the proper one.

The above link is part 1 of a series of 3 on YouTube that gives you a great hands on look at exactly what your Soldier will go thru during boot camp.
I hope you find these places helpful. I caution that you consider the source of where you seek your information from. There are lots of sites out there, but look for those endorsed or created by the Army itself. There is so many questions at this point in your life make sure you seek out the official places for your answers.
Good Luck!

Just dropped my son off today, he is headed to Fort Benning for boot camp. We are not a military family and have no experience with the military at all. Still can't believe that he is in the Army. Thanks for posting Faith, now at least I know where to start. Feeling a little better. Mary Ann
