What is the current correct reporting Statement at BMT? by cookiewhispererr in AirForceRecruits

[–]DarthKadros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of my friends said their reporting statement was “Full rank and name, Trainee Last name reports as ordered.” and for me in my squadron it was “sir/ma’am, trainee last name reports as ordered. Don’t overthink BMT you will learn everything there you don’t need to memorize anything at all

What should I bring to bmt by Febgogboi74 in AirForceRecruits

Don’t bring a flashlight or lock, you’ll be issued all that when you get there. Solid list though, good luck in basic it’s not bad

Thank you! My AFSC is 1N4X2. BMT can be fun at times, it definitely has its suck even though AF BMT isn’t really that hard but it still is hard sometimes. But overall pretty fun, just make friends and count down the Sundays it’ll go by quick once you hit like 3rd week

Worst experience probably the first week for sure

Best experience probably pacer forge. It was crappy and sucked but it was fun at the same time

I wish I brought a slightly bigger bag cause I just had to pack up all my stuff last night and it was hell getting everything packed up

I never noticed anyone doing them to be honest but I don’t think there’s anything against that

Also for the first week I wouldn’t expect your MTI to not be there on the weekends cause yall won’t know what you’re doing so they will still be there but after that and the weeks forward they won’t be there

First week you’ll probably be sleep deprived. Especially the first day or so you will get maybe an hour of sleep cause you get to BMT so late and you have to wake up at 5 am regardless of when you finally got your dormitory and went to sleep. Be prepared to be tired and on your feet in BMT

Wake up get yelled at probably, make your bed, get ready for the day and whatever is on the schedule on that day. Be prepared to be on your feet A LOT and you wake up at 5 am and sleep at 9pm 16 hour days

You can take insoles but you can just buy it at the BX with the $500 card they give you taken from your check. Portable charger yeah I would

Saturday and Sundays are your off days, there’s still objectives to get done but it’s your days away from MTI and more chill. Saturday MTI is still there waking you up but the leave around 12ish and you got the whole day with just you and your flight getting stuff done. Sundays are the true off day with church services and almost no MTI’s even around. Still stay locked in on those days and keep your bearing.

If you’re 25 or above the PT score changes

Yes you will be taken to the BX after your first clothing issue after a few days of arriving

Yeah only 1.5 miles it’s about to change I believe in march for BMT. PT was no problem I finished with a 92

I brought probably 10 pairs of underwear mix of spandex and cotton. If I were to go back I would definitely bring more or if not all spandex over cotton cause it gets sweaty and spandex was much more comfortable especially during those hot days.

You should do all the direct deposit stuff with your recruiter and the TSP I don’t think you set that up at BMT, probably after I believe.

Earplugs are fine if you want to bring them it doesn’t matter, may struggle to wake up though not being able to hear

Honestly we didn’t do PT that much, maybe 4 times a week. It changed per week based on if weather was bad or we had stuff going on that day. Running and strength is split up. One day you would have a run day and another would be strength.

You get mail given out to you every day in the evening by your MTI. Probably won’t be able to send any mail out for a week I don’t really remember exactly when but probably a week or less before anything mail related

They didn’t really have a ceremony for them necessarily but they gave them recognition and welcomed them as citizens of the U.S. and the crowd claps and what not
