Are parents permitted to contact cadets by phone during BCT?
No, your parents should refrain from calling you directly during the difficult BCT adjustment period. You’ll be instructed to write home soon after BCT starts and give your parents the name and home and duty phone numbers of your Air Officer Commanding (AOC) who directly supervises your squadron. The first opportunity you’ll have to phone home will be during Doolie Day Out, which is approximately halfway through BCT. Cadets and parents are strongly encouraged to communicate through cards and letters. If an AOC cannot be directly reached in the event of an emergency, call the Command Post at 719-333-2910/2911.
