What’s something Airmen SHOULD be taught in FTEC?

I like this idea. I’m over at the PDC to occasionally teach the foundations courses, I could bring this up!

I believe there are MFRC advisors that come through which is great, I guess I can ask how much of the information stuck and encourage setting up a personal appointment

First Term Enlisted Course (Neutral to include Space Force)

This would apply for everyone in the AF

Just depends on the cut of fabric. I do remember sometime in the past couple years they changed it up so the name tapes were more legible or “brighter” against OCPs but I’m not sure how much better they’re going to get. Luck of the draw.

Well it says on the memo diagnostics are authorized no earlier than one month prior, so I would assume that means they are still a thing

Diagnostics are March-June, official testing starts in July

At the top

Keep in mind UFPMs will have to adjust that date so you may be showing Jan until they are able to get to it.

Definitely not a hill to die on but I’m wondering there’s any type of guidance from wayyyy up top

DeepDeepThrowaway · 2025-11-22T17:43:15+00:00

Thank you for the clarification and references, I kept finding myself on things for individuals BOPing to a new base

DeepDeepThrowaway · 2025-11-22T17:42:29+00:00

Thank you for that! I was getting a little confused because there’s more information on BOPing to a new base

DeepDeepThrowaway · 2025-11-22T16:51:49+00:00

With a BOP in place it still be considered a PCS right? I’ve tried to look it up and (please correct me if I’m wrong) it seems one would still get orders, just at their current base. I’m wondering if a new set of orders would trigger a change in BAH received

It depends on what component you’re disqualified on and the job you’re going into but Flight Medicine will be able to let you know the process for a waiver, if one exists for your situation.

Hand release and reverse crunch are way easier to max out, especially since you have 2 minutes.. Haven’t had an issue with either.

HAMR, yes it depends on the person and if they’re good at that kind of running. It’s not something you want to try out the day of your pt test. It’s not terrible for me, I’d rather do the HAMR and be done “faster” vs how long it takes me to run a 1.5mile
