Hot? Cold? Rain?

They say that in Texas, you can experience all four seasons in a week! Generally speaking, though, Texas summers are HOT! The key is to stay hydrated at all times. Make sure to bring water with you when you’re out sightseeing with your Airman. July is typically the hottest month of the year.

Texas does have milder winters compared to other parts of the country, but it can still get cold! The forecasted high might be 76°F, but temperatures may not reach that until around 1 or 2 p.m.

The BMT graduation ceremony takes place outdoors in the early morning, when it can still be chilly. Many families have been caught by surprise, arriving in summer clothing and finding themselves freezing! Your best bet is to dress in layers so you’ll stay warm in the morning and remain comfortable while walking around in the afternoon.

Continuous weather broadcasts are available on NOAA Weather Radio, also known as “The Voice of the National Weather Service” and “The Radio for All Seasons,” at 162.550 MHz.

What If It Rains?

Plans are in place to hold the ceremony inside the squadron’s (TRS) building on the drill pad if there is heavy rain. Unfortunately, this area will not be open to the public.

BMT will record the event, and we will share information about it on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/AFWingMoms.

If there are any changes to the scheduled events, announcements will be made during the briefings.

What Should I Wear to Graduation?

Dress appropriately for the weather and, most importantly, wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Remember that the ceremony is outdoors and takes place early in the morning. Dressing in layers is always a good idea!
