When you arrive at Lackland, you will be referred to as "trainee." Your reporting statement will be, "Sir/Ma'am, Trainee XXXXX, reports as ordered." After completion of the 5th week of training, you will be referred to as "Airman." It's a good idea to rehearse your reporting statement before you arrive. You will be assigned to a "flight," a group of 30-60 trainees within a "Squadron." Each flight will have several TI's assigned to guide the trainees through BMT. The first few days (Zero week) will be spent getting haircuts, issuing equipment and clothing, and explaining the basics of dorm life. Most days begin at 0445 (4:45 a.m.) and end at 2100 (9:00 p.m.). You will receive three meals per day.
