Donate to AF Wingmoms

AFWM was founded in 2010 with a mission to offer positive support and encouragement for those with loved ones in the USAF BMT (Basic Military Training). We are a 501(c)(3) organization which means your donations are completely tax deductible. With 100,000+ members we are the largest non-official support page for the USAF BMT. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to support other like-minded organizations and give back to Med Hold! Here are just a few of the ways your donations have helped in past years:

CLEP materials donated for trainees in Med Hold (2013, 2014, 2016)
Art Supplies for Med Hold
Radios for Med Hold (2017)
Movies for Med Hold (2018)
USO donations (2014 and 2018)

AFWM also receives small proceeds from the sale of a limited amount of official AFWM Merchandise. Any donations and revenue from sales received will go to further the mission and vision of AFWM whether that be through maintenance support so the website and Facebook page can operate or the support of other groups or projects that have the same mission as AFWM and that the board of AFWM approves. Projects that AFWM has helped with or donated to will be shown on this page.

The first 72 hours:

When your son, daughter, spouse or friend arrives at San Antonio’s International Airport, they will be greeted by a BMT Reception Center Military Training Instructor (MTI). Newly arriving trainees are instructed to call home and let family know they safely arrived in San Antonio – regardless if your trainee called you when they first get off the plane.
Your trainee will call again within a 72 hour period of arriving in San Antonio. The purpose of this phone call is to give you their mailing address the trainee will be using for the next 8 ½ weeks.
Please prepare yourself mentally for the call as there is not time to chat and your trainee may seem very stressed or emotional. Rest assured your Trainee is just fine. We highly suggest you have a pen and paper ready during this time period. If for whatever reason you do not get the info (maybe it was too loud or bad connection) please do not panic. Your Trainee will be mailing home a postcard with their address.

YOUR TRAINEE’S ADDRESS FORMAT

All the #s will be numbers given to you by your Trainee. Again, the call is scripted, short and often emotional. Be prepared to just fill in the blanks.
