After U.S Air Force Airmen arrive at their initial duty location, they begin the transition from operating in a structured training regimen taught at Basic Military Training and technical school, to a mission oriented mentality. Before they can perform their duties and dive into the operational side of work, they must attend the First Term Airman Course. The course, which is provided by every installation, is designed to help ease the transition and development of Airmen as they begin their career in the operational U.S. Air Force.
