Recruits are trained in the fundamental skills necessary to be successful in the operational Air Force. This includes basic war skills, military discipline, physical fitness, drill and ceremonies, Air Force core values, and a comprehensive range of subjects relating to Air Force life. </p><p>More than 7 million young men and women have entered Air Force basic military training since 4 February 1946, when the training mission was moved to Lackland from <a href="/wiki/Harlingen_Air_Force_Base" title="Harlingen Air Force Base">Harlingen Air Force Base</a> in Harlingen, Texas. Throughout its history, Lackland's BMT program has changed in many ways to meet the operational needs of the Air Force and recent updates in the curriculum are some of the most significant in its more than 60-year history, with every aspect of the program overhauled.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AUDIENCE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AUDIENCE"><span title="An editor has requested that an example be provided.

(December 2020)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>On 7 November 2005, BMT changed its curriculum to focus on a new kind of Airman—one who is a "warrior first". The goal is to instill a warrior mindset in trainees from day one and better prepare Airmen for the realities of the operational Air Force. </p><p>The changes resulted from the need to meet current and future operational Air Force requirements. In September 2004, the 20th Basic Military Training Review Committee met at Lackland and recommended significant changes in the focus, curriculum, and schedule.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2011, it was revealed that a number of military training instructors engaged in inappropriate and illegal sexual relationships and advances against dozens of female trainees. The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Basic_Training_scandal" title="United States Air Force Basic Training scandal">scandal</a> led seventy-seven Congressional representatives to call for a hearing to investigate the incident.<sup id="cite_ref-The_Nation_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_Nation-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Because of this incident, the commanders instilled what is called a wingman concept. This means that no trainee is allowed to go anywhere alone without another trainee. This allows trainees to learn and look after one another. It helps maintain a safer environment while in Basic Training, and when the trainees get out into the operational air force. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Military_Training_Instructor">Military Training Instructor</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_States_Air_Force_Basic_Military_Training&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Military Training Instructor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Military Training Instructors, or MTIs, are the instructors who are responsible for most of the training that takes place in BMT.

Trainees receive their initial weigh-in when they arrive at Lackland. If the trainee is under or over the height and weight standards, the trainee is placed on double rations if underweight (known colloquially in BMT as a "skinny"), or in a "diet" status if overweight. </p><p>All trainees receive three meals a day, also known as "chow time". These are either served at the dining facility (DFAC, also known as the "chow hall"), or as a <a href="/wiki/Meal,_Ready-to-Eat" title="Meal, Ready-to-Eat">Meal, Ready-to-Eat</a> (MRE) during field training. Meal time may last 10 minutes or less, depending on the order the flight arrives at the chow hall. Trainees are mandated a minimum of 10 minutes to consume each meal. Much of the 10 minutes may be spent waiting in line, trainee "chow runners" reporting in the chow hall and removing, properly storing and re-donning any carried equipment. </p><p>Trainees that sustain injuries or illnesses that disrupt their training are transferred to the Medical Hold Flight.

Next, males receive their first military haircut, often called a buzz cut, where they are left essentially bald.

At the end of the trail, trainees are broken into teams of two "wingmen" and negotiate a combat-obstacle course (low-crawl, hide behind walls, roll behind barriers, strike dummies with the <a href="/wiki/Buttstroke" title="Buttstroke">butt of your rifle</a>, high crawl 60 yards through deep sand up a 40 percent grade).
