Finding Your Soldier's Family Facebook Group
Many battalions and even individual companies have unofficial family Facebook groups where relatives of current and recent trainees share updates, graduation photos, and tips specific to that unit. Search Facebook for your Soldier's exact battalion and company (for example, "2-60 Infantry Fort Jackson Families"). These groups aren't run by the Army, so use judgment: confirm a group has real, active members before sharing personal details, and be cautious of pages that seem inactive or ask for money.
Not Sure Which Battalion Your Soldier Is In?
Ask them directly — they'll know their company, platoon, and battalion once they're assigned after Reception. See our week-by-week guide for when that assignment typically happens, and our mail guide for exactly how to format an envelope once you have their unit.
