The person in charge of posting pictures and blogs keeping us parents informed of what’s going on is doing a great job. I’m keeping an eye out for my son who is in Squadron 3. I know there is 200+ kids there so it’s impossible to get them all! Hope he’s having fun.

Yes, great job with the updates and picture, but would love to see some of squatron 3, espc, echo.
But in any case, I appreciate being able to keep up with what the cadets are doing. Thanks for taking the time to keep us informed!! Looks like they are busy!!

Great pics so far – would love to see more. Don’t be shy, you’re taking a TON of pics, right? Also can you show some pics of how neat their rooms and beds are, so we can print them out and tape it up next to their room at home?

I’m all for it! (But we probably actually need to have the Commander there for it to work…Ha!)

Loving all the pics. Thanks a lot. I knew 2d Lt Deering would get a great job done. I’d love to know the identity of the “cadet basic being lowered onto the rappelling tower” because I suspect he’s mine — but hard to recognize from this angle!
Had seen his squad & flight captioned but not his self yet, unless that’s him! (Glad I didn’t have to rappel.)

Thank you for the updates. It makes me feel closer to him to know a little of what he’s doing each day.

This is an awesome pic site. Want to see more of Foxtrot squadron 3. We check several times a day for a chance to see our cadet! Their menu sounds better than home. What goes on during evening hours?

I read on here somewhere that they all practice volleyball in the evening for a competition later in the week.
This site is a great idea and much appreciated.

I am so grateful to the staff that posts these wonderful photos! I have missed my son soooo much and to see his handsome smiling face (full frontal mind you ) and helping another boy with his lap belt during “the ride” really made my day, night, week, etc. etc. Thanks again!!! Go Echo!!!!!

Great pics but i only saw one with my son in it. I’d like to see more of him and also be able to copy them all easy. any ideas?

You should just be able to right click on the picture and save it. If you have any camera/picture software already installed on you computer, open that first and then open the pic from there. That’s what I did and I was able to print it out as a 4 x 6. I found some pics of my son yesterday. I was so happy to see him, I cried. He’d be so embarrassed that I was telling anyone this. What in the world am I going to do when he goes off to college. I’ll be a mess. But this is a great experience for him and all our children. The Public Affair people are doing a great job of keeping us posted as far as where they are and what they are doing next.

In regards to a previous comment, the ratio of female cadets to male cadets is very slim, so it is a higher probability that you will encounter more frames with males than with females. It’s unfortunate, I know.
