After I finish BMT in the Air Force will I come back home for a little break?? Also, when I go to tech school is that an everyday thing or do you go to school just during that week days, and get the weekends off like regular school. If you don't get the weekends off....what kind of free time do you get during your tech school?

Usually there is no "break" between BMT and Tech School. Your first chance at Leave will be after your Tech School.
When I went to Tech School it was 5 days a week.
But, don't expect Saturdays off, you'll use that time keep your quarters in regulation order, standing inspection, parades, grounds maintenance, GI parties (keeping your barracks ready for inspection), doing laundry, taking uniforms to the cleaners, etc., etc.....
Don't get me wrong, Saturday evenings are usually free (you'll use some it studying and reviewing for Tech School).
Sunday is typically the only "day off" you will have. If you are not assigned some sort of weekend duty Sundays are the nearest you will get to "free time".
P.S.....Between BMT and Tech School you should expect several weeks (either three or four) of Combat School. Recently the USAF decided that trainees needed some combat training, and with the state of war nowdays, rightly so. When I went through BMT there was no such thing, however a year later I found myself in a RED HORSE unit and did get the basics of combat training and the security of installations.

Usually, you would get a two week leave after completion of BMT, but in my case, I was sent directly to a tech school, and when I graduated, I had my two weeks leave before I was to report to my assigned permanent base. In my case, since we were sent to tech school before completion of BMT, we actually went to school and continued BMT when not attending school. We did have weekends off but restricted to the base. Coincidentally, my tech school was finished at the conclusion BMT. I need to add that my experience was over 30 years ago, so I am not sure how it is now.

After you finish BMT you do not come home for a little break.
You will continue on to your tech training. School is a weekday routine. Weekends will for the most part be yours.
You might have to clean your room and hallway if your MTL's decide its not good up to par. I just got out of a sheppard tech school. Good luck.

You can go back home after tech school, provided you sign up for recruiters assistance. Tech school is just like regular school. Monday through Friday and depending on what time of year you go you might even get some holidays off too.

After BMT you will go straight to Tech School. Graduate on a Friday....leave to TS on a Monday.
