Pay close attention to what you are taught; you will need to thoroughly understand the information within these pages in order to meet the standards required for graduation. You and your dormitory will be inspected frequently, through dormitory appraisals, progress checks and your daily performance, to ensure that all is being maintained in accordance with (IAW) established standards. Keeping the dormitory clean and organized is also important for safety and health reasons. Due to the limited amount of personal space, you must display each of your items in a specific manner and area. The purpose of displaying and caring for your items in a particular manner is to aid you in understanding the need for teamwork and attention to detail. Your success in the Air Force (AF) depends on your ability to follow detailed instructions and maintain established standards. These abilities will carry over into all phases of your AF career. R ecRuit L iving A ReA (RLA) Your RLA consists of: ■ Wall Locker ■ Clothing Drawer ■ Security Drawer ■ Personal Living Area (PLA) consisting of: It is your responsibility to maintain your area according to BMT standards. You will be evaluated in all four of the RLA areas. To pass the inspection in each of your areas, you cannot receive more than the maximum of 6 item failures for 1st appraisal, 5 item failures for 2nd appraisal and 10 item failures for the RLA progress check. R isk M AnAgeMent (RM) RM consists of a five-step decision–making process to systematically evaluate possible courses of action, identify risks and benefits and determine the best course of action for any given situation. The goal of RM is to enhance mission effectiveness at all levels while preserving assets and safeguarding health and welfare. Your RM training starts at BMT and by the time you graduate, you will have a basic understanding of the process and how to apply it to any situation. You will continue to enhance your understanding of RM concepts throughout your AF career.
