Welcome to AFBMT
Welcome to AFBMT.com, where I hope to help give people interested in joining the US Air Force a good idea of what the process of enlisting and going through basic training is like. I’m a young Airman currently in the Air Force myself and frequently get questions about what it’s like, so I thought I’d make this site to answer those questions.
I am obviously only one person and only have my own experiences to go on though, so your own experiences may be different than mine. I welcome feedback and input from others that have joined or are thinking of joining, so please let me know if there are things that are inaccurate or that can be improved throughout the site so that I can create a better resource for everyone.
Thanks and I hope you find the site valuable.
To get started, visit the Before BMT section.
Should you enlist for four or six years?
I’ve just posted a new page about whether you should enlist for four or six years. I get asked this question a lot so now I can refer people to this rather epic post and give them probably way more to think about than they anticipated.
Please let me know if it’s helpful or if there’s anything I should add!
Tech school overview added
I added a tech school overview page. Will add more detail soon. Please let me know what questions you have about tech school!
AFBMT food, not bad!
Added a page with some info on what to expect during meal time at BMT.
Added BMT jobs page
Added a page listing some of the jobs and additional duties you’ll have to do at BMT. I think I missed a few though, so if you know of any please let me know.
First night of basic page added
Added a page on what to expect during the first day/night of basic training.

I’ve added a page on what to expect from your visit to MEPS, covering the ASVAB, the medical exam, picking your job, etc. If I left something out or didn’t answer a question that you have please email me or let me know in a comment on this post so that I can answer it and add it to the site.
