Since the 1940s, housing facilities for Airmen started with “tar paper shacks“ and were later changed to mobilization open bay barracks, or MOBs. It wasn’t until 1967 that BMT underwent one of its largest expansions. Five new 1,000 man recruit housing and training, or RH&T, dormitories opened. The buildings provided living areas, dining halls, classrooms and training areas for entire training squadrons under one roof. It wasn’t until 1976 that the last BMT squadron moved out of the MOBs.
