BASIC TRAINING SCHEDULE

.
What to expect:

Each day begins at 0500 (5:00am) and ends with " Taps" at 2100 (9:00pm).

Zero Week

You'll arrive mid-week and be assigned to a flight. "Flight" is the Air Force Reserve designation for a group of 45-60 individuals within a squadron (like a shift of workers within a large business). Each flight has several Military Training Instructors (MTIs), assigned to teach and guide your flight through the entire six-week period. These first few days you'll get a haircut (a close haircut), be issued equipment and uniforms, and learn the basic rules of dorm life.
