My son leaves for MEPS tomorrow and Texas on Tuesday. My anxiety is pretty high about him leaving. He is the only one of my kids that have chosen this path. I am very proud of him and have no worries of failure...that has never been an option for him. However, he has always been my rock and the one I have been the closest to. I worry that he won't get the job he wants, that I will miss his call when it finally comes in. Not knowing how he is doing, etc...I have talked to him almost every day of his life...now it will be weeks until I can hear his voice. Graduation cannot come soon enough...and he hasn't even left yet!

Hello all, I am new to this site and have so many questions.. My main question is my son leaves for BMT on July 16, will he graduate September 13? He also starts INDOC for ParaRescue after BMT. My other question is will he get to come home at all between BMT and INDOC or will he go straight to INDOC? Any help would be greatly appreciated:) I am so glad i came across this site!

A great big HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of my fellow Proud Air Force Moms and Wing Sisters!  WOW....293 members!  I had no idea that when I started this group back in 2009 when my son left for BMT that it would grow to such a large number.  Very happy to see you all here!!  Thank you for joining and I hope you have found some useful info and made some friends...I certainly have!

I have spent several Mother's Days without my Airman...even one in 2010 when he was in Iraq...but very happy to say that he is home for this one!  My daughter (his twin sister) graduated yesterday from Northern Illinois University and he arranged some leave time to be home to attend the ceremony! Ten glorious days!!!!  If you are fortunate enough to spend the holiday with your Airman, enjoy.  But if you are not, I know how that feels, too.  I am thankful for Skype and cell phones!  Just to hear their voice puts you in an awesome mood to face the day.

{{{{HUGS}}}} to all of you.  My best for a wonderful Mother's Day!!!  Love you all!!!  <3

Tammy you need to checkout afwm.org or look them op on facebook.  My son graduates BMT from AF next week.  Im so excited.  AFWM was a savior.  I just found this site a few weeks ago.   Seems like forever since I've seen my boy but now that its here it went by pretty fast, lol.  You'll be fine and so will he.

I am a newbee to this site, looking for support. My 19 year old son leaves next week May 7 th for BMT in the air force, I am starting to freak out. I know nothing about how it works only small amount of info they gave us. I have so many different feelings going through my head all day and even during sleep in dreams, am I losing my mind or is this just normal when your child grows up and leaves? Any help I can recieve will be helpful I am trying to stay strong with him but inside I am falling apart.

AFWM is awesome and has been a wonderful support group that provided so much info and help during the last 8.5 weeks.  My son will be graduating BMT from Lackland on May 9th.  8 more days.  Go Mustangs 323TRS/FLT339 Anytime, anyplace Mustangs!!  Love you AB Holdren!

Hello Proud Air Force Moms, here is a site in Facebook called AF WingMoms request to be in the group and then look on the top right windows where it says TRS DG's for your Children's Flights and be in the group, you will be glad you did. Is a 24/7 support from all the parents involved in a particular Flight. I did and felt so happy to go day by day, hour by hour (if needed) and see what my daughter was going through, at the end all families from that particular Flight got to meet and we still continue to be in the Flight group and tell one another what our children are doing in Tech School.  https://www.facebook.com/AFWingMoms?fref=ts
