Acceptance Day marks the end of the Basic Cadet Training and candidates become a member of the cadet wing. BCT is a five-week program that tests a cadet’s mental and physical abilities and helps make the transition from civilian to military life.  It consists of two phases, both administered by upper-class cadets with commissioned officers and sergeants serving as advisors.

We wish Shanna and Bailey the best as they advance through the Air Force Academy and prepare to serve and lead our nation.
