How can I send mail to my son/daughter/family member at Lackland AFB?
Very early in zero week, your airman will be given a form letter to send you. This will contain his or her mailing address. Also, check the form letter to see if your airman maybe added any secret messages to it, say, by circling or underlining certain characters. Feel free to share it with anyone else your airman would like to hear from. Your letter will arrive at the squadron with all the other letters to other trainees, and your airman’s TI will deliver it to your airman in the evening. Believe it or not, receiving letters is a kind of status symbol in the twisted world of the AETC. I’ve heard that some trainees, distraught at the lack of incoming mail, will actually send a letter to themselves, just so their mates don’t see them as That Guy With No Loved Ones. Of course, the TI’s always notice where the letter was mailed from, and when they see a self-addressed letter, that trainee will never live it down: so don’t let your airman go unloved!! 31. Tell me about the footwear they is
