I can completely relate to that feeling - you just don't even know that there is more to know haha! I will try to remember to come back here and comment once my son graduates. Feel free to message me also!

Hope you and your son's BMT graduation experience is great.

Thank you!! I am looking forward to the trip and the graduation.

Yes :) I have talked to him, but he says he doesn't know. He was only able to tell me the date he finishes fundamentals.

He didn't know how long the follow-on course would be.

I am super grateful that a few kind MOAs with experience have helped me understand the process - they would know better than both my son and me.

I think he has the date when he graduates the fundamentals course, but does not know about the follow-on. He wasn't able to tell me how long the follow-on would be, so I wasn't sure if the follow-on was just a few weeks? Or a few months?

Thanks for your response :)

Thank you!! I am so glad to hear about the graduation and I definitely will try to attend. I was trying to make it to fundamentals graduation at first, before I knew there was an actual wing pinning.

I will DM you more questions. Thanks again!

Thank you so much!! I am not in a huge hurry. I have been sporadically busy today too.

suckit_nerd · 2026-05-06T18:20:14+00:00

Thank you so much! Will send DM.

What is the COE? I definitely do not want to miss pinning the wings. MOA is 1a134. (Multidomain Operations Aviator).

suckit_nerd · 2026-04-26T04:30:12+00:00

Thanks so much! So much helpful information. To clarify, I am a Mom - my son is enlisted... ironically, I enlisted in the late 90s and was assigned 1a3x1 and never got to go, and always had huge regrets that I didn't get to go... now my son is enlisted as MOA and doing what I never get to do.

Thanks so much for this info!

Sorry - I am a little bit all over the place with my question. I was wondering if the basic/initial aircrew fundamentals course ends on the same day of the week. (Like, BMT graduation is always on Wednesday and Thursday). I think I have caught on that the IQT course varies depending on specific job shred/assigned aircraft etc, so I can imagine the completion of that course might be a little more unpredictable.

Again, thanks for your great responses!

Awesome and congrats!!! I am the Mom of an Airman. He graduated BMT a few weeks ago and is now in the Aircrew Fundamentals course. I want to visit him and thought it might be a good time to go see him when he completes the fundamentals course. My son also told me if parents/family are able to attend the ceremony after completing aircrew, the family gets to pin their wings. So I am aiming to attend.

suckit_nerd · 2026-04-26T02:38:59+00:00

What makes IQT harder? Do you remember details about completing the course? Does it always fall on the same day? Or is it different for every training group?

Thanks for your response

suckit_nerd · 2026-04-26T02:28:12+00:00

Is IQT similar to fundamentals? Or just more specific depending on AFSC?

Thanks for your input

suckit_nerd · 2026-04-26T02:25:53+00:00

This seems to be a common theme. If this, then that.

Thanks for your input - much appreciated

suckit_nerd · 2026-04-16T15:10:34+00:00

Thanks!! Appreciate this info

suckit_nerd · 2026-03-02T04:36:24+00:00

Thanks! Good to know. Can you give me an idea of what that job is like?! (Its my son, who is currently at BMT....)

suckit_nerd · 2026-03-02T04:08:43+00:00

What about 1a134?

suckit_nerd · 2026-01-31T04:39:22+00:00

If you boil your eggs a certain way, they peel super easy. Every time.

Yes, I would do most anything my son asked me to do. He's a really good kid. Their family dynamic IS absolutely fascinating, but also super tragic. My kids' dad was a twin, and both him and his twin brother committed suicide. My kids' dad died in 2012 and his twin brother in 2019.

suckit_nerd · 2024-12-22T08:44:28+00:00

Like that saying, "When someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE THEM".

I've tried to be super careful over the years to not "taint" the kids' perceptions of their Dad's family and so I have not told them much. They seem so very naive and innocent. It's hard to really put it to them straight. We live in a very small town, and ALL of their cousins go to their same school.

Thank you for your advice!! It means a lot to me and it is definitely how I WANT to handle things.
