My son is a jump master and teaching the introductory parachuting class this summer. Your cadets will have the opportunity to take that class next summer.

Many of his friends are cadre for BCT.

A couple of tips of that we did for our son while he was a Doolie:
Wrote every day, his first phone call he said to “me if you think of something put it in a letter and send it,” send as many letters as you can. So I sent cards, news articles, cartoons etc. After that call I tried to get something in the mai to him twice a day.

I was able to down load pictures of F-16s and sent those to help him stay focussed on his goal.

Prior to I day we had given out cards and pre-addressed stamped envelopes to friends. I reminded them to write, he ended up with lots of mail.
I shared the pictures that I found of him on the AOG and USAFA sites with his friends so that they could see what he was doing.

At Parents weekend you will have a chance to sign your cadet up for a Zoomienet account. You can put money in for them and they are able to order food to be delivered from a number of restaurants, the amount is deducted from their account so they don’t have to worry abot paying. My son ordered his favorite Panda Express meal whenever he was feeling down. It provided him with a small amount of control over one aspect of his day. You will have to check if they are allowed this year, but he said that it helped to get him through the first semester.
