What does "address line" mean?

I have a friend currently in basic training through the air force, and when I got the address yesterday so I could write him a letter the first line consisted of AB and then his name. What does the AB before his name mean in the case?

  • Answer:

    "Airman Basic (AB) is the lowest enlisted rank in the United States Air Force (USAF), immediately below Airman. The pay grade for Airman Basic is E-1. As opposed to all other USAF enlisted and officer ranks, Airman Basic has no rank insignia affiliated. The lack of uniform insignia for Airmen Basic is the impetus for the nickname "slick-sleeve", in contrast to all other enlisted Air Force ranks which wear their stripes/chevrons on their uniform sleeves. In accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2618, The Enlisted Force Structure, the term of address for an Airman Basic is "Airman Basic" or "Airman"."

yeah, it means Airman in Basic Training or AB for short. The B will disappear after basic training.
