How long does it usually take for someone to write in basic training?

My boyfriend just got to Great Lakes yesterday for basic training and I know that they are allowed to write on Sundays, but I was wondering if because he just got there yesterday would they allow him to write home this Sunday(26th) or would they make him wait until next Sunday? It's really hard not being able to talk to him so I just want to have some kind of time line as to when I might hear from him. Any help is appreciated.

my fiance was in great lakes i was in georgia so ill try to help you with the timeing.
he would mail them on sunday
id get them on thursday
mail him back on friday
hed write on sunday 2
not get my letter till wednesday
id get sunday 2 on thursday 2
so we were basically like a week behind and never really had a convorsation it was just love yous and everything.
never a ongoing conversation.
i just gave up and started writing him everyday so even if it was a simple i love you hope you have a good day he would get a letter every day.
because they have mail call evey day or everyother day.
and write him alot cause my boyfriend said its lonley when they have mail call and everyones standing there waiting for there name and it doesnt get called :(
it will get better!
good luck!
oh, just totaly read the question, they should let him write this sunday..but i they can never garentee anything.

I wouldn't expect anything until next Sunday, you might have heard from him by now, cause you're allowed one quick phone call to say I'm here. Give him a week to settle in, and find out his address etc. Then you'll get his address, and you can write him all the time. :)

If anything, consider this practice for when he goes out for 6 months at a time.

Army is pretty Lax these days...so soon enough you will hear from him. Marines take longer as they are exhausted.

he can write home sunday

Every Sunday, despite the day at witch he arrives, they are allowed to write. I'm assuming he called you already. Within about 2 hours of arriving at BCT the soldier is required to call someone and tell them that he or she has arrived at Basic.
