Unless things have changed since I was in Air Force basic training. when he arrived at Lackland AFB he was instructed to send a letter home to mom advising that he arrived safely and how mail should be sent to him. At least once a week the Drill Instructors allow a few minutes time to write home to mom.
Now I am saying mom because in all branches of the military even the highest ranking General fears mom(s). I was a flight leader and part of my job was to see to it that my flight wrote home when they were suppose to. Of course this left little time for me to write home. My mom got worried after not hearing from me and called my recruiter. He called his Captain who called someone else who called the base General who called my Captain. I was called to the Squadron office where the first paragraph of a letter home was dictated. I then finished the letter which the Captain said he would mail for me. I was then given 15 minutes to get back to my barracks which was 5 minutes away. This left me time to make a call home where I proceeded to tell my mother never to do that again.
Long story short they keep your boyfriend very busy during the first few weeks of basic training in order to avoid home sickness. When they let up on him he will have sometime to himself to write letters and make phone calls home. If you want to write to him his mother should have received a letter within a few days of him arriving at Lackland AFB.
