Not a pilot (sorry!) but good for your son! Are you near a military base? If so, you may want to contact the local Public Affairs office and explain what your son is doing. They could put you in touch with pilots willing to talk to him...it also looks great on their EPRs for promotion, so I'm sure there are plenty of candidates. I would call PA first over individual squadrons, or people may find it a little odd.\n\nThis may sound a little funny, but if he's willing to talk to older people, you want want to contact your local VFW.

I don't know whether you're familiar with Flight Training magazine, but they have a list of scholarship information.  That's at least a place to begin.  See the link below.\n\nThere's also a link there to another source of information.  I hope something here helps.

United States Air Force  Master Sergeant  retired with 22 years active duty.  OK that's my pedigree.  And here's the answer to your question.\n\nYour son will be subject to being put in harms way.  That is the military.  We are there to stand between the American People and danger.  It is a noble profession and most men and women who wear the uniform will agree.  Very few civilian professions are equal to the experiences of a typical military man.  I was responsible for millions of dollars worth of aircraft and the safety of their crews before I was 20 years old.  Try to realize that at IBM or Ford Motor Co.  It simply won't happen.  So, yes it is worth it, but if and only if he does it for the right reason.\n\nIf your son is joining because he is an American, a patriot proud of his land and liberties and with a burning desire to do something to preserve that land then he is on the right track.  However, if he is enlisting to get money for college, thinks he wants to kill people, can't find a job, is sick and tired of being at home, wants to purge an arrest from his record or any of a dozen other reasons, it will be the hardest job he can imagine and he will hate every minute of it.\n\nThe purpose of the US military is to enforce our foreign policy.  Since the President is the only person authorized to make foreign policy your son will not be asked, he will be told what must be done.  That means whether on not he agrees with it.  He will not be allowed to pick and choose the orders he will obey.  I served under Lyndon Johnson, the worst micromanager this world has seen for centuries.  I served under Jimmy Carter, a fine moral man who was totally incompetent.  He was simply in over his head.  But it made no difference, while I didn't like either of them, I respected and obeyed both of them.\n\nMy wife and I have four children.  When my youngest daughter considered the military she came to me.  I was blunt with her as I am with you.  I told her that I would support any decision she made.  I told her I didn't want to hear her complain because she didn't get the job she wanted or that it was hard for a woman or she didn't want to go over seas.   The only absolute is the President.  When the Boss calls for help the military helps.  So if the President of the United States picks up the phone and dials 911 I expected her to answer, and you should expect the same of your son.\n\nI guess I was too blunt because she opted not to enlist.  A wise move for her, she wasn't acting for the right reason.\n\nI can be contacted through my profile.  Drop a line if I can be of any further use.  And Good Luck to your son.

I assume that he's there for basic training.  I went to basic at Ft. Sill OK about 3 years ago now and I can tell you this.  SEND MANY MANY MANY LETTERS!!!!  My mom sent me at least a card or a note or something every single day.  I'm sure some other people that read this will make their comments about that, but I will tell you what, it is very very motivating and comforting to know that your family is thinking about you and cares for you.  Mail call was probably my favorite part of the day every single day.  You should hear from him soon.  maybe not by phone for awhile, but more than likely at least a letter with his address.  As I recall we didn't get phone privliges until about our 2nd or 3rd week.  He will also spend a few days at a reception battalion before he acctually starts basic.  he might get a few minutes to talk while there.  his phone calls will more than likely be very very short as there is normally very few phones for many many people to use.  God Bless your family and your son!  I hope this helps at least a little.  If you have any other quesions, feel free to e-mail me!

You could try contacting the RAAF. Also, the white pages and Acxiom's Directory Assist may also help. I've provided links to them below

it's nice to hear the air force is treating you well ... I was a army wife and it was not" 90210 "like you explained ...{thanks for the dumpy comment }, My husband was a GRUNT in Bosnia and in Afghanistan ... It was sheer hell for me and our 2 boys .. Im thankful for Ft. knox they did all they could do to make it as easy as they could for us during my husbands deployment... No matter what branch all these men and women are HEROS ! I was not aware that there were people who did'nt support our troops ... I just thought it was Bush they did'nt support ! being a "army" wife is very hard!!{ there is no fun and games at war} maybe I should have had my husband Join the airforce so we could not appear to be so dumpy!!! My husband is a hell of a man and Im very proud of what he has done for our country.. HOOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
