A Female's Perspective of Air Force Basic Training

A Female's Perspective of Air Force Basic Training A Female's Perspective of Air Force Basic Training We arrived in the early afternoon at the Military Reception Center at the San Antonio Airport. But there was no Training Instructor (TI) or any military personnel ready to greet us. The next bus to Lackland AFB was not coming until 17:00. I was one of the first few people to sit in the pews and made small talk with the others as more people started to arrive. The bus showed up an hour late, with a civilian driving a commercial bus. We all were getting a little nervous as we came closer to Lackland. All of us were expecting TIs to suddenly swarm around us the second we arrived and start screaming in our faces about how stupid we were and how dumb we looked. But that didnt happen. When we finally reached the base, a Non-Commissioned Offcer (NCO) stepped onto the bus, calmly told us to grab our bags and get off. There were a couple more outside who rushed us into a trainee processing building - still no screaming.
