Parents of cadets who unite together to support each other during that traumatic time when their sons or daughters are away from home, attending the Academy. You are so proud . . . . The day arrives. You stay with your new cadet at Doolittle Hall until the very last minute. You won't see your cadet again until Parents' Weekend.
Most parents experience many emotions when their children leave home.
As parents of cadets, you are very special. Your children are attending one of the finest institutions in America. They will enter the Academy as young adults, but after four years, they will emerge as officers of the United States Air Force. There are presently 93 parents' clubs in the United States, with every state having representation. These clubs are, basically, support groups.
