if he’s actually in basic training then you can’t do much other than send mail and wait. when my ex was in basic at USAFA i compiled messages from all of his friends and sent them in one letter. give him words of encouragement and let him know that if he wants to talk you’d be happy for a letter about his day/week

and make sure to hug him BIG at basic graduation and let him know how proud of him you are. depending on whether or not he’s at a military academy(or which one he’s at) his first year will be rough too, just also be there for him to talk to and let him know that!
