My heart aches for these fine men and for their families and friends and those they served with. It tears at me everytime I hear we are attacked by those who we are supposed to be helping or training. Will It ever end? How many more families will have to stand on the tarmac At Peterson Air Force...

I've had some of my kids travel over break, and they were told to bring nothing that would identify them as attending a military academy or being in the military. This included their issued laptop, they could not bring that. It also depends on where they were going. Some places were a lot more...

I was told last year that there were close to 100 kids that did not have a sponsor family. If a cadet who doesn't have a sponsor family, and he/she goes with another cadet to their sponsor's home, and the cadet and the parent click right away, the cadet would need to initiate the process of...

To prevent any problems, or any c4c getting in trouble, they must wear their uniform at all times, they can change into their PC at the hotel or their sponsor's home. As for swimming, yes they can swim, they just need to change back into their PC when they are done. Making sure an...

I will reach out to both squadrons tomorrow. I know kids in the squadron's and I will contact the AOC's and AMTs. I have heard back a couple days ago from one of the AOC, and he stated this is very important and that it needs be found

I just wanted to let all the members out there know that I am a sponsor parent, and I've had two classes graduate. I have dealt with a lot of situations, both good and bad. When I first came on this forum and signed up in May, I ended up having some other issues going on and completely went...

I have dealt with similar situations, and some of them have reapplied, and have given them specific information concerning the medical issue and what has changed. I can tell you honestly, one of them got back in, and another one did not. I wish you the best of luck.

I have never been to Thudgate. Is this something a sponsor parent can go to? I am a diehard Falcon football fan, and have been for 30 plus years. I've been to two of the bowl games and I entered a contest at one of the bowl games, on who was the best fan. For the competition most people just...

I hope they all enjoyed DDO. My new Dooleys, from the minute we drove off, their cell phones never stopped going. I kept extra cell chargers in case. First thing they want to do is usually stop at Walmart and pick up a lot of junk food, which I remind them they can't take back, and leaving it...

Congratulations, & I wish you the best!

Best advice for parents week, besides enjoying the time with your cadet child,, drink lots of water if you're not used to the altitude. We do have a lot of smoke in the air, due to the fires in California and the Pacific Northwest. Some people with breathing issues could wear a mask if it...

I have several cadets that wanted to be pilots and their vision was similar to yours or worse. After they arrived at the Academy they ended up having that refractive eye surgery. One of them did get a pilot slot. After the surgery he was doing well, and has never worn glasses again. Not sure if...

It seems to be happening too much again . My heart and prayers goes out to their families and the people they served with. Unfortunately, I know all too well how the families are feeling. God bless them all.

This is such a wonderful thing you are doing, making this quilt. I never met the young man, but I had a cadet in his squadron, and when I heard the news, it broke my heart , and I have several kids that were up there skiing that day. One of them was in his squadron. I keep a private facebook...

just came across this information while I was looking for something else for someone. Hope it also helps. I have a tattoo, a brand or a piercing. Can I be admitted? While having a tattoo or brand does not automatically disqualify you from consideration, it does open the door for rejection...

I'm sorry I did not get this to you sooner, but I had to go out of town for a family issue. This information came from one of my cadets concerning piercings and tattoos: In uniform they can only have an earring in on the single lobe holes, but they can have other piercings, just no jewelry in...

check the private message area, information there for you

in some situations, it is better to have parents mail you some items you may need (after Basic) that aren't very large and bulky, like a snowboard, and/or bring items to parents weekend. I have had some of my cadet parents angry that their children are not receiving some of the boxes that was...
