Did You Know: There were several training squadrons involved in the United States Air Force Basic Training scandal which refers to a series of investigations where multiple training instructors were accused of sexual misconduct with trainees at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. The scandal, which came to light in 2011, led to significant changes in the way the Air Force conducts its basic training, including increased oversight and the implementation of new policies to prevent such incidents in the future
