Preface
The information contained in this guide is very important to your success at Basic Military Training (BMT). Pay close
attention to what you are taught; you will need to thoroughly understand the information within these pages in order
to meet the standards required for graduation. You and your dormitory will be inspected frequently, through dormitory
appraisals, progress checks and your daily performance, to ensure that all is being maintained in accordance with (IAW)
established standards. Keeping the dormitory clean and organized is also important for safety and health reasons.
Due to the limited amount of personal space, you must display each of your items in a specific manner and area.
The purpose of displaying and caring for your items in a particular manner is to aid you in understanding the need
for teamwork and attention to detail. Your success in the Air Force (AF) depends on your ability to follow detailed
instructions and maintain established standards. These abilities will carry over into all phases of your AF career.

and benefits and determine the best course of action for any given situation. The goal of RM is to enhance mission
effectiveness at all levels while preserving assets and safeguarding health and welfare. Your RM training starts at BMT
and by the time you graduate, you will have a basic understanding of the process and how to apply it to any situation.
You will continue to enhance your understanding of RM concepts throughout your AF career.
