The ribbon is awarded to graduates of Air Force and Space Force basic training who have obtained an honor graduate designation and demonstrate excellence in all areas of academic and military training.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afpc.af.mil/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/421909/basic-military-training-honor-graduate-ribbon/|title=Basic Military Training Honor Graduate Ribbon|access-date=2022-11-01}}</ref> An airman or guardian must achieve at least a 90% on their physical fitness level during the final AFBMT physical fitness test. The AFBMT physical fitness test has three parts: 1.5-mile run time (60%), number of sit ups in a minute (20%), and number of push ups in a minute (20%). If the trainee fails to reach a score of at least 90%, the airman or guardian is ineligible no matter how well they performed in other areas of basic training. Additionally, the airman or guardian must average over a 90 percent on all the written examinations, and never fail a graded inspection (graded inspections are conducted randomly after week #3). The airman or guardian must never receive a negative mark in a written evaluation. Current regulations limit the number of selectees to no more than ten percent of the graduating squadron.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/dafman36-2806/dafman36-2806.pdf | title=Department of the Air Force Manual 36-2806 | publisher=Air Force Personnel Center | access-date=2022-11-01 | date=2022-10-27}}</ref> The Basic Military Training Honor Graduate Ribbon is a one-time award and may not be presented retroactively. Those awarded are entitled to wear the Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon for the rest of their U.S. Air Force or U.S. Space Force careers. ==U.S. Coast Guard== The Coast Guard Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon was created on 3 March 1984, with the first presentation in April of that same year to Seaman apprentice Scott Woodard. The Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon is presented to the service member who graduates at the top of their basic training instruction class. Retroactive presentations of the Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon may be awarded upon application from the service member to the United States Coast Guard. In such cases, the award will be presented for basic training graduation prior to 1984, only with supporting documentation and a written request from the service member. ==See also== *[[Army Service Ribbon]] == References == {{Reflist}} {{US Navy Department decorations}} {{USAF decorations}} {{USCG decorations}} {{use dmy dates|date=November 2022}} {{use American English|date=April 2016}} [[Category:Awards and decorations of the United States Air Force]] [[Category:Awards and decorations of the United States Coast Guard]] [[Category:Awards and decorations of the United States Navy]] [[Category:Awards and decorations of the United States Space Force]] [[Category:Awards established in 1976]] [[Category:Awards established in 1984]] [[Category:Awards established in 2015]] [[Category:Military ribbons of the United States]] [[Category:US Coast Guard ribbon symbolism]]
