(Continued from Air Force Technical School Restrictions )
Unless otherwise indicated, the following restrictions and requirements are applicable for non-prior service students, no matter what training phase an airman is in. There are additional restrictions, applicable to the specific phase.
- Airmen are prohibited from possessing or using tobacco products anytime on base or post or while in uniform (See Technical School Smoking Policy ).
- Airmen who relocate because of academic reclassification or to attend follow-on training courses will continue in phase progression from the day they left the last training location. Airmen will remain on base until they receive an initial orientation briefing, which may be provided orally or in writing.
- Airmen are restricted from visiting any permanent party, TDY (Temporary Duty), retrainee, transition or separation flights, or prior service personnel except for officially sponsored holiday events (such as Thanksgiving and Christmas) when approved by the squadron commander or higher.
- Airmen are not allowed in dormitory rooms of the opposite sex. EXCEPTION: The training and/or operations group commander may authorize (in writing) Phase III students to visit the dormitory rooms of the opposite sex with the door remaining open.
- Single or unaccompanied Airmen will not rent or visit on- or off-base/post lodging, housing, or apartments. EXCEPTION: Airmen in Phase III may visit on- or off-base/post lodging, housing, or apartments with written approval of the assistant flight chief or higher.
- AETC Form 341 will be used in all phases of training. Airmen will carry two properly filled out AETC Forms 341, a locally developed phase card, and their military ID at all times.
- Quiet hours are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That is, any noise heard outside the dormitory room and determined by the MTL to be disruptive is not allowed.
- Airmen are not normally authorized to take ordinary leave (EXCEPTION: Holiday Exodus, which is a period around the Christmas time, where technical schools pretty much close down and students and staff alike are usually allowed to take leave). In rare circumstances, the group commander may approve leave for Airmen in all phases. (The group commander may delegate this authority to the squadron or detachment commander.) When leave is authorized, Airmen will receive a predeparture safety briefing. Note: While on leave for Holiday Exodus, Airmen in Phases I and II will not accrue calendar days toward phase progression.
- Airmen will not attend off-duty educational programs or off-duty employment while assigned to a technical training squadron (EXCEPTION: College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Defense Activity for Nontraditional Educational Support (DANTES) testing). The 311 TRS students ( Defense Language Institute ) may be permitted to participate in off-duty education after counseling by the TRS commander documenting successful language training progression. Students must maintain a "B" average, have no record of military disciplinary problems, meet Air Force physical fitness standards, participate in the unit's peer tutor program, and be in Phase III.
