Exodus

Post-Graduation

Airman will be given the opportunity to take about 10 days of leave while in tech school around Christmas (dates will be announced around Thanksgiving). They must use their saved leave (vacation) days for this AND pay for their own transportation.

They will be briefed by their Military Training Leader (MTL) if they will be able to go on Exodus and when approved they can begin making travel arrangements.

Airman do not have to take Exodus if they choose to save their leave days to use when they graduate tech school instead, prior to going to their first base. It’s up to the Airman what they decide to do.

Any other leave is not authorized.

The first 72 hours:

When your son, daughter, spouse or friend arrives at San Antonio’s International Airport, they will be greeted by a BMT Reception Center Military Training Instructor (MTI). Newly arriving trainees are instructed to call home and let family know they safely arrived in San Antonio – regardless if your trainee called you when they first get off the plane.
Your trainee will call again within a 72 hour period of arriving in San Antonio. The purpose of this phone call is to give you their mailing address the trainee will be using for the next 8 ½ weeks.
Please prepare yourself mentally for the call as there is not time to chat and your trainee may seem very stressed or emotional. Rest assured your Trainee is just fine. We highly suggest you have a pen and paper ready during this time period. If for whatever reason you do not get the info (maybe it was too loud or bad connection) please do not panic. Your Trainee will be mailing home a postcard with their address.

YOUR TRAINEE’S ADDRESS FORMAT

All the #s will be numbers given to you by your Trainee. Again, the call is scripted, short and often emotional. Be prepared to just fill in the blanks.

# # # TRS / FLT # # # (Dorm "Letter"-#)
