The wingman concept was developed when pilots noticed a need to watch out for each other while in flight. It provides you with a personal contact for assistance in adapting and coping with training.
You will spend the first few weeks of training adjusting to the military lifestyle; having someone you can talk to and count on may ease the tension during your transition. Your assigned wingman will be your bunk mate in your respective bays.
The wingman concept is simple: you look out for your fellow Airmen to ensure they are able to accomplish the mission safely. The fundamental idea is teamwork.
Each of you must work together and help one another adjust to the BMT environment. Working with others allows you to learn and implement team-building skills to succeed in BMT and your AF career.
