<p>Hey, I’m really interested in finding out when BCT ends and I will have a computer or tv to watch the Olympics starting August 8th. It appears based on WebGuy’s site that the last day of BCT is going to be August 6th. Is that about right?</p>
<p>Also, when is the first day of classes for 2012?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the web guy is right.</p>
<p>Don't count on getting to watch the olympics. As 4 degrees, we aren't allowed to see media until Recognition. </p>
<p>Classes will start the next Monday after Basic ends, I believe.</p>
<p>School will start on the 7th, actually. No rest for the weary...</p>
<p>As far as the Olympics are concerned, it could be hit or miss. Expect to see little of the games, and you might be pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>I think basic actually ends at taps on August 2nd, and the acceptance parade isn't until August sixth. I remember reading that somewhere on this forum</p>
<p>That's correct. BCT ends on Saturday, which is when the entire Wing returns. From Saturday until Thursday then, you're still considered Basics, but you're not really in BCT any more. The time will be spent teaching you things you'll need to know for the academic year and moving into your new rooms. You'll also get a chance to meet the other 90% of your squadron who you've never seen before. Most of all, you'll just be anxious for the four days to pass so you can get your boards and be accepted into the Wing. It's a good time. :)</p>
<p>I've been joking with my dad that if we get to actually see some of the Olympics, its going to be something like badmitton, ping pong, or synchronized swimming.</p>
<p>so can we not get packages 'til the 6th then?</p>
<p>Ok, but that means no more 430 wake-up calls right? PLEASE tell me that means no more 430 wakeup calls!</p>
<p>haha, no, you'll get to sleep a little more for the 4 days between the "end of basic" and Acceptance. Once the semester starts, you'll be in charge of yourself when it comes to sleep...which means it's no one elses fault when you sleep late and miss something important.</p>
<p>No...You mean we have to be responsible? ;)</p>
<p>Define "a little more" sleep. 530 doesn't count.</p>
<p>Maybe 0615-0630, which is amazing after thirtysome straight days of BCT. Just wait until your first semi-normal weekend... Heaven on earth.</p>
<p>Missmuff, that'll will probably be up to your cadre/squadron. I don't think they let us have ours until A-day.</p>
