We understand being the parent of a cadet isn’t easy. Not only is your child being challenged to cope with the demands of an education, but they must also balance rigorous military training to successfully graduate as Second Lieutenants in the Air Force and Space Force. To ensure you have all the resources and knowledge to support your cadet during their academic career, we’re here to help.

Your role as a proud, supportive parent is an important one. To help you effectively communicate and support this new chapter of your cadet’s life, we’ve compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions. Each cadet’s experience is unique, so for all remaining questions we ask that you first reach out to them for the most timely and relevant information.
