BCT
Task1: Q&A
- How long will the basic cadet training last?
BCT occurs during a six-week period before actual classes begin for a freshman’s first year. - What are the backgrounds of the new cadets?
Some of them have already attended a year at the Academy’s Prep-School to help them ready academically. A smattering had already enlisted in the Air Force and spent time as Airmen on active duty. But most are “Direct Entries”. - What are the training subjects in BCT 1?
The training subjects in BCT 1 are early morning wake-ups, memorizing names, learning military protocol, honor lessons, Air Force heritage, learning to eat meals at attention and prepare for room inspection. - What are the training subjects in BCT 2?
The training subjects in BCT 2 are weapons training, field training and developing stamina. - What will new cadets do on the “Reception Day”?
The basic cadets are awarded their fourth-class shoulder boards to recognize completing BCT and to signify their acceptance into the cadet wing. - When will the freshman restrictions be lifted from the new cadets?
After they prove themselves through three days of “Recogition”
Task2: Translation

BCT will challenge new cadets physically, mentally and emotionally. - 作为高年级学员,他的“第一个进,最后一个出”的做法明确了上级必须关心下级这个原则
His “first boots in-last boots out” drives home the lesson of caring about those you lead. - 在新训的最后,新学员被授予肩章,进行宣誓,这标志着他们正式成为学员联队的一员。
The basic cadets are awarded their fourth-class shoulder boards to recognize completing BCT and to signify their acceptance into the cadet wing. - Basic cadets stay in Jacks Valley will involve many activities, which will push them to their physical limits and build within them self-confidence and confidence in their classmates. They’ll also become familiar with small-unit tactics and firearms. After a challenging and rewarding experience in Jacks Valley, BCT trainging concludes back in the cadet area.
新学员待在Jacks Valley会参与很多事情,将他们推到自己的体能极限并增强他们的自信和同学间的信心。他们会熟悉小单位战术和轻武器。在Jacks Valley有了有挑战性和奖励性的经历后,新训会回到学员区。
