AF BMT Lackland AFB
This is a bit long in coming, I intended to get back to showing more pictures from when I went to AF Basic Training graduation weekend at Lackland AFB. But I got caught up in so many more things on going that I didn’t get back to the picture files. I’ve had a few discussions recently with folks asking about BMT so I thought I would get a few things up over the next few days to give an idea of what the trainee’s life is like. The picture above is a typical basic training bunk at Lackland AFB. Not exactly the queen sized bed my trainee was used to, but when you are one of 50 you get your minimal space to reside in. And yes, even those who are not bed makers before they go in will be by the time they leave. Well either that or they swapped the duty off with someone else and may have done something in exchange for someone else making their bed. BMT like military life counts on teamwork so even though all beds are made, it may not be your trainee’s job to get it done. The small white paper in the center is a 341, which is a form used by instructors to write up something. It can be either good or bad even though having a 341 pulled usually brings back not so pleasant memories for most!
