Your Trainee is required by regulation to get one phone call (within 72 hours of arrival) to let you know they are safe. Your Trainee may or may not provide the BMT address. Itâs a scripted call and can come at any time, so be prepared (mine came just after 10 pm Texas time the night he arrived). Remember, your Trainee is starting a life-long transformation and this will likely be a stressful and confusing moment. Donât fret if your Trainee omits the address (I didnât get the address), the Air Force has a back-up plan. Your Trainee will send a post card with the BMT address to one person.
