LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- There's a commonality that unites the men and women who serve as the 737th Training Group's Military Training Instructors -- "Service Above Self" in transitioning the more than 35,000 civilians a year who enter Air Force Basic Military Training into Airmen.
It's an MTI's professionalism and commitment to Air Force "Core Values" in basic military training that molds those civilians into successful Airmen; role models to be followed and at the end of 8 1/2 weeks, often imitated.
