The Air Force Training Ribbon was established in October of 1980 and is authorized to any member of the U.S. Air Force who completes an “authorized accession training program”. Such programs include Air Force Basic Training, Air Force ROTC, and Air Force Officer Training School.
The Air Force Training Ribbon is retroactive without restriction, meaning that any service member on active duty after 1980, who had previously completed an accession training program, would be authorized the decoration. For those service members who completed more than one accession programs, such as basic training followed by officer candidate school, an oak leaf cluster is authorized to the Air Force Training Ribbon.
Recruit training is the initial indoctrination and instruction given to new military personnel, typically in the enlisted ranks.
Army and Marine recruits are trained in basic marksmanship with regularly assigned weapons, field maintenance of weapons, hand-to-hand combat, first aid, protective equipment usage, and basic survival techniques.
The U.S. AirForceâs Basic Military Training (BMT) is six-and-a-half-weeks long and is conducted at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX.
