Ship-Day Reporting And Out-Processing

Wear professional-looking jeans and a plain shirt. Avoid Air Force-affiliated clothing. Choose muted colors rather than neon colors or anything else that draws unnecessary attention. The goal is to blend in while still looking neat and professional. The blue Reserve shirt is not required.

General rule: The most recent BMT information email, orders, amended orders, and instructions provided during out-processing or training control what applies. This FAQ explains the local process in more detail but does not replace newer written guidance.
