They say in Texas you can have all of the seasons in a week! Generally speaking though, Texas summers are HOT! The key is staying hydrated at all times. Make sure to bring water with you and when you are out sightseeing with your Airman. July is typically the hottest month.
Texas does have mild winters compared to other parts of the country – but it still gets cold. The high might be listed as 76 – but it’s not going to get to that temperature until around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. The BMT graduation ceremony is outside and in the early morning when it night still be cold. Many people were caught by surprised and were wearing ‘summer’ clothes and freezing. Your best bet is to dress in layers so you’ll be warm in the morning and can be comfortable when walking around in the afternoon.
Continuous weather broadcasts can be heard over NOAA Weather Radio, “The Voice of the National Weather Service” and “The Radio for all Seasons,” at 162.550 MHz.
What if it rains?
They have plans in place to hold the Ceremony under their Squadron (TRS) on the drill pad if it rains hard. Unfortunately, this will not be open to the public. BMT will record the event and we will share with information on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AFWingMoms. If there are any changes with the events, they will make an announcement at the briefings.
What do I wear to graduation?
Dress is weather appropriate and comfortable.
