BASIC MILITARY TRAINING

basic trainingSandwiched between enlistment processing and technical training, Basic Military Training is an intense training program designed to prepare you for those times when national requirements place duty ahead of self. Getting the most out of basic training demands your highest level of personal focus, effort and teamwork.

You'll hear us calling it BMT, "summer camp," and a few other things depending on company. Whatever you call it, get ready for six weeks that will turn you, at the very least, into a well trained and ready Airman. By graduation, you'll meet the fitness requirements that make Reservists physically durable in almost any situation.

Prior to reporting for duty, you should begin your training at home. Following a recommended workout schedule, 3-5 times per week for at least the six weeks before you attend BMT will help you get ready for the challenges you’ll face in basic training and beyond.

The support of your parents will be very important as you prepare to begin Basic Military Training. We encourage you to share the information in this section with them, along with the information in our Parents section.
