    Thanks for the input Nick4060, raimus and jcleppe. Such is life for the "hurry up and wait" I surely appreciate the feedback. Finally read some of this to DS, he now has questions he'll pose to his Det. commander. Of course some info is redundant 'to him'... But it put a bug in his head to...

    New Lost AFROTC cadet mom

    Thanks guys/gals. Yup we have been dumped on, looks like something went off in the house. Close quarters, Lmbo... He isn't actually over sleeping at all, kinda staying in routine, and still getting up at about same time as when he was in AL. We're in Cali, which means I have to get up a little...

    Update DS is home along with his fellow cadets having completed in full SFT Max 3. There were a lot of smiles on everyone's faces. Best fun they never wanna have again. Period. All in all, very talkative on the long drive home, and now we wait. Thanks so very much for providing me with some...

    Lol!!! PIMA, you're kinda funny. I really don't have an issue with cutting ties. Like I said somewhere, I'm just here to support him, part of that is understanding what HE is going through. Since he is away at college, I have only seen him minimally, because of convenience or lack there of, and...

    Thank you PIMA. Wish I would of found this site sooner. You've been a wonderful host. He only did the DODMERB last fall. But he will do whatever they ask of him. I'm just here to support. Just helps to understand so when he comes home for visits I'm not blindsided. He does not want to...

    He was AFJROTC in High school, credit for 6 yrs because of summer training. Then did go in as Freshman AFROTC. We knew about the SFT but he made no mention of letter writing. I asked as many questions as I could, but he was always sooo busy. He was doing 3 jobs for the detachment in addition to...

    Hmmm, thanks some great info. He is contracted. Dec 15, 2011 they awarded him a scholarship, so he is receiving a stipend, and money for books. The only thing different in his regard is he was awarded a full ride community scholarship for first 4 yrs of college. So, they have made an allowance...

    Mom of AFROTC cadet at Field Training, Maxwell afb

    So many friends and family ask or say no big deal, it's the Air Force. Why only 4 weeks? Is this their Bootcamp? Should we mark the occasion? Or wait until he finishes college and the Commissioning Ceremony. I feel after reading what little I could find online, most don't understand the...
