You can always report anything. If a cadre is discriminatory towards you, you should address your chain of command. They will probably be removed from BCT or the Academy. This not tolerated at the Air Force Academy. Last year a Cadre was booted from USAFA for unprofessional speech/conduct during...

Honestly the most I've seen is variation of the word "fag" and gay of which I've only heard as slang, not intended as derogatory (although you may take it that way regardless). The usage of the word isn't tolerated. Issues like this can be handled easily just by telling the person your offended...

No seasonal allergies isn't going to get you sent back. It's for serious injuries and illnesses. The turn back process can be case by case. Two basics could have the same injury and yet one be sent back. If one cadet breaks his/her hand and refuse to participate in any physical activity they...

Either is fine one just lasts longer. We take you to get your hair cut throughout BCT.

Buzzing your hair yourself saves about an hour of time waiting in like. You can utilize this time to getting moved in.

Can't say but you can count on getting beat everyday!

You get to ride in a glider for 1 flight that's about it.

I've never been told that I'm not allowed to wear logos this is the reg but it doesn't specify. 7.1.5.2. PTU/IPTU shorts (with reflective material) and optional IPTU running shorts (without reflective material). The PTU/IPTU shorts waistband will rest at or within two inches of the...

Medical turn back, quitting, and a poor attitude are the top 3 reasons why basics don't make it.

Just FYI be careful what you post on those pages in past years cadets have said said some distasteful things and come to regret them during BCT

Yes Sir No Sir No excuse sir Sir may I ask a question Sir may I make a statement Sir I do not understand Sir I do not know

I would say cardio and upper body mostly pushups.

It's an interview process. It depends on the squadron and the amount of people that are applying out of your squadron. In my squadron there were about 8-10 people applying for second BCT Element leader of which only 4 were chosen. The rest either went to first or didn't get a slot. Most cadets...

People keep saying "DD and DF" what does this mean?

This depends on your squadron/flight, I can almost guarantee they won't let you wear them during BCT. I'm not allowed to release specifics on the schedule. You're always guaranteed three meals and a shower. Between those times you'll have briefings, PT, testing, and courses.

Mental Toughness. If you don't have it yet develop it between now and BCT. It doesn't matter how strong or fit you are, you will hit a breaking point some time during BCT and it is the only strength of your mind that will carry you (and teammates). If you can strengthen your mind and conform...

You can bring them but they must be standardized with the issued boot otherwise you may not be able to wear them. Also I meant to say I can't answer all of them, I'll be happy to answer the ones that I can.

BCT was different for 2017. Their class had the highest retention rate in many years. Your BCT commander made it a point that this will not be the same. BCT will be more physically intense and you will have less breaks than 2017 did. You should be proud of this.

-You should prepare your self for short and long distances in full ABU gear. Each flight will have different preferences as far as distance however 2-5 through woods is average. -If your in good shape you shouldn't worry about slowing down the pace. Typically it is a hand full of stocky males...

I'm part of BCT 2018 Cadre. If you have any questions, I can answer all of them, but I'd be happy to answer the ones I can.
