@amb94...yes, each cadet is
@amb94...yes, each cadet is issued a personal PO Box number and you can address mail to that box number if you have it. If you do not know a cadet's personal box number, mail addressed to him and sent to our main box (PO Box 278) will be delivered without delay to the cadet.

Cadets can send regular mail anytime, and are encouraged to do so. Email and telephone privileges begin after two weeks.

Right. Think of it like a diet. For two weeks they're going to "clean out" and get used the the FUMA way of doing things. Really, you want him to do well, and making him miss you, or be homesick is not going to help him. Encourage him to take advantage of all
FUMA has to offer. It's going to be a great year in his life, with your support! See you in October!

Emails...
Cadets are given a period of two weeks before they are allowed to make phone calls home. This is a change from the previous policy of 4 weeks. In addition, the cadets are still getting transitioned and email accounts usually take a couple of weeks before they are all set up.
Cadets are becoming used to the system at the Academy and meeting new friends they are very busy during the first few weeks of school. No news is good news and if you have any strong concerns you are free to contact your son's TAC Officer or the Commandant's Department.

communication policy
I am glad FUMA changed the communication policy from 4 weeks to 2 weeks. Not sure I would be able to last this long without speaking to my son. This is his first time being away from home and us. He is our only child and the transition is very hard for me. I know this is a good school but I miss him dearly....Hopefully I will speak to him soon...The pictures on the website helps...

nope!
There's something about men, that they do well in groups (teams, packs) The first weeks at FUMA are an important time for the guys to get to know each other and prepare for the year ahead. The bad news is he won't be able to call home and complain; the good news in 2 weeks he'll be very excited to talk with you. Use this time for YOU! He's your boyfriend, not an appendage. You need time to grow, too. I promise you'll like him even more -because FUMA makes men out of boys.
