Well I have been in the Navy for 9 years and am senior enlisted so I think I can answer this question for you.
It's unlikely that your boyfriend will cheat on you at basic training. It's possible that he can, but they keep an eye on the recruits so it's doubtful.
What I can tell you is that at my last command (duty station) I knew 32 married guys. I know for a fact that 12 of them cheated on their wives regularly, and I suspect at least 12 more had either done it before or had mistresses off to the side. Of all 32, I only know that 2 of them were completely faithful to their wives. I believe both of them were church-going Christian men.
Most guys cheat on their wives in the "real world" as well, but the percentage is even higher in the military because we deploy all over the place and I guess some guys have a problem keeping it in their pants.
It disgusts me, and I'm single. I don't even sleep around like some of the married guys I know.
Sorry if this is hard to take, but I figure that you should know the truth about how military guys are.

Everyone's right, there's no time to go off post during basic. They are under watch constantly, and as far as I know, they don't get off-post passes. However there is time once they are in training and they do get passes then.
Since he is your boyfriend the Army wouldn't punish him if he was cheating, not sure if you were asking that question but it almost seemed like it. They are only concerned about cheating married soldiers, if you'd even want to call it concerned.
The military lifestyle is hard, if you can't trust him then you're going to have an even tougher time.

I think only if they are cheating on their wife. but yes military personel can be charged for adultry. It doesn't happen usually unless they did something else wrong so they can tack it on.
125. Sodomy
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.
(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
134. GENERAL ARTICLE
Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.
Edit: I didn't even think about the rest of it. You cannot leave base when you are in Basic training. Unless you have liberty. that is about 8 hours the entire time you are there. There are some places the later weeks of recruit training can go and hang out, Riki Heaven's' some things happen there that aren't talked about outside of bootcamp normally. If he is in any school and past his first 2 weeks in school he can wear civilian clothes and leave base. Then he can go to strip clubs.

Don't worry sweety-during basic training, the recruits are not allowed off base/post. The only places they are allowed to go (on their free time) is to the BX/PX or the DeCA Commissary.
If they were to grow some balls and step one foot out of the gate and go to a strip club, I'd think they'd be coming home with a new, freshly ripped as.s hole.
Edit-if he does find another girl during his time of basic (highly doubtful, very doubtful), if he gets caught-he will be recycled from the Army.

If you are talking about "BASIC" training then he doesn' t have the time and very little opportunity. Possible with a female recruit but they could get bounced if they get caught. Now if you're talking about other training like AIT (advanced infantry training) then they can go out at the end of the training day and do whatever they want with whomever they want. Why don't you talk to him?

Only you know if your boyfriend has it within himself to cheat. Is it possible? Entirely. Does Army life hinder him from being loyal and monogamous? I never served but I doubt it does. Being a soldier means being disciplined and if he remains so for you thats a respectable thing.
Heck, I'd be more worried about you cheating. Have you seen the movie Jarhead?

if he's in basic i can promise you he's not cheating or going to strip clubs. he's up every morning at the butt crack of dawn and is working his *** off till bedtime. in navy bootcamp they'd rain down on u like a georgia thunderstorm if you even looked at a female. and there is no way they let them leave the base. think about it. if you were bustin ur *** every day, gettin chewed out 24/7, being treated like a dog by ur so called "superiors", and you were allowed to go out on the weekends, would you come back? i know that if i would have had the weekends off when i was in, i would have jumped the first bus back home. so don't worry about it. he's not cheating on u. in fact he's probably wishing you were there right now.

Duuhhh? It does not take a soilder, a man or a woman in the army or any where in this world to be in basic training to cheat. The fact he does not call you and you do not trust him says to me Go find yourself a new boyfriend. this man is maybe right for you or maybe you are not right girl for him
Just because he is a soldier does not mean he is a cheat, your not trusting him is a concern, are you being true to him. or are you cheating because he is away and you think he is cheating on you

If he is in Boot Camp he cant do any of that. He is there for training and and they dont go off base and do that kind of stuff. Now his MOS school ( sorry Army calls it AIT ) I dont know, thats something else. And even if he does go to strip clubs that doesnt mean he is cheating. Strip Club is a strip club not a brothel.

Yes, a soldier can cheat. Yes, some soldiers do cheat. Should they cheat? No.
If you are worried you should discuss this with your partner.
