Welcome to the army! These incredible photos show the welcome fresh-faced recruits receive in the U.S. Army.
Basic cadets from the Class of 2027 arrived at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs last week for in-processing (I-Day).
I-Day marks the start of their journey of becoming commissioned officers in the U.S. Air Force and Space Force.
The images show them receiving buzzcuts and being issued shouted instructions by superiors.
In-Processing Day (I-Day) begins with our four-degree (freshman) cadet appointees getting dropped off at the Holaday Athletic Center to begin their official in-processing activities.
After processing through various stations, including a medical review and taking the Oath of Office, they become a Basic Cadet.
Basic Cadets will travel by bus to the Cadet Area and begin immediately receiving instruction from upperclassmen before heading up the Core Value Ramp for the first time. This proceeds with haircuts and the issuance of uniforms and dorms.
The Commandant conducts a ceremonial class Swearing In ceremony the following day, formally kicking off six weeks of Basic Cadet Training (BCT).
