DS (2023) reports for in-processing 27-June and completes BCT 3-August. Fall classes start right after Labor Day, 2-Sept. What do the cadets do between those two events?
 
I believe classes start in August, not September. In previous years, there have been a few days of transition between the end of BCT and the start of classes.
 
For the last 3 years BCT has ended on a Saturday, Acceptance Day is the following Tuesday, and then classes start Thursday. Those extra days are spent moving into their new squadron, buying books and school supplies, briefings, and catching their breath. I'm not sure where you heard that classes start 9/2. They are changing the classes schedule to mimic a more classic college schedule but that is not until fall 2020 and nothing concrete has been released yet to my knowledge.
 
According to communication received from USAFA, classes begin on 8/9/19. May be subject to change, but usually it is right around then. As Hoodlum mentioned, there are a few transition days between the end of BCT and the beginning of the ac year.

Classes start about 3 days after BCT.
 
@Newinwin, 1st of all congratulations & welcome!
If you haven't already, join your local USAFA parent's club. They're a valuable resource; also I found USAFA's Parent Liaison, Ms. Rose Nikovits is the best!
