Our Soldiers
The Brave men and women (our children) that sacrifice so much of their lives so that we may enjoy the "Freedom" that we get to enjoy each and every day, and for that,I am proud to call them "Heros."

While your son or daughter is at Military Basic Training
At Basic Training your son or daughter will be involved in field drills and classroom training. Recruits learn and practice marksmanship, navigation, and survival skills, as well as leadership training and team building. The pace is fast and personal time is limited.
1. Write often. Encourage other family members and friends to write, too. And keep the tone of your letters upbeat. Your recruit will look forward to receiving mail, especially if he or she is homesick. E-mail will not be available and your son or daughter will not have a cell phone during Basic Training. Recruits spend their free time involved in tasks like uniform preparation, studying, or other types of training. Your son or daughter will need some free time to rest. Don't worry if you do not hear from your son or daughter very frequently. Keep them motivated.
2. Be assured that your young person is safe. Safety is a top priority during Basic Training, and medical care is always available to recruits. In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, the Air Force (or correct Branch) will notify the recruit's next of kin.
3. Don't send care packages or treats. Candy, tobacco products, electronic devices, and pornography are prohibited during training. Any food that arrives by mail will be confiscated.
4. Make an effort to attend graduation. Graduations are important, memorable ceremonies. Completing Basic Training is a significant achievement, and you will want to share in the pride your son or daughter feels.

After graduation of Basic Training
The daughter or son you sent to Military Basic Training will come home after graduation with some noticeable differences. You're likely to see a more focused, disciplined, and perhaps more serious person than you knew before.
The next phase of your son's or daughter's career will be training in the technical skills needed for his or her job. Ordinarily, technical training (also called specialty training or advanced individual training) begins within a few days of graduation. Your daughter or son will be transferred to the school's location for the duration of the course, which may be from 4 to 52 weeks.
