This Jodie touched me and as a grown man I dropped a few tears. This is the life we chose congratulations to everybody that graduated that day welcome to the greatest Air Force in the world. Every time I feel like giving up I will watch this to motivate me to keep going while I fight for our country.
You're not the only one who was touched by this. I went thru BMT in 1982. Still have contact with my MTI. Greatful everyday for the opportunity to have served in the USAF.
@@GrizBear63 my TI couldn't WAIT for me to leave. I think he even held the back squad bay door and helped me with my bag JUST to make sure I got on the bus. (It's true I wasn't the best airman. . HA HA HA!) good times!
THIS is perhaps the best rendition of the Air Force Final Jodie I have ever heard. The MTI must be old school as the lyrics sound so original from the past. Thank you for sharing this.
yes it does. One of my mates was an accidental casualty in Desert Shield (pre war). we ere both in kingdom but at different bases. it wasn't until we got back to the states and I called to say hi that I learned what happened.
Listen, I am a proud Air Force Vet...came through Lackland AFB in 2007...did 4 years....just looking through random bmt videos tonight, and this one legit got me teary eyed and hella emotional LOL... CROSS INTO THE BLUE BABY!!!! USAF 4 LIFE HOOOOOAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Been almost 4 years now... went through in early 2018. All the ladies in my BMT flight still keep in touch... an amazing experience and an amazing cadence!
My son just graduate few months ago and I'm so proud of him, 321TRS 317FLT Warthogs JBSA lackland AFB Now his on Tech School for Security Force go go go USAF thanks for serving our country 👍👍👍
Congratulations to your son.My son went to BMT 3/23/21 321TRS FLT371 JBSA Lackland AFB. After April 15th he will be going to security forces TechSchool.
oldwarrant4 I’m sure you heard this momma crying like a baby in the back ground too. No one knew this was going to happen so everyone was in tears. The girls didn’t even know either. They had practiced the first half but never the heard the second part till that moment.
LOVE THE COASTIES. BLESS YOU GUYS FOR WHAT YOU DO. I WAS ASSIGNED TO THE 20TH SPECIAL OPERATIONS. GREEN HORNETS. ARTURO DELA GARZA USAF RET. THANK YOU GUYS FOR WHAT YOU DOD
I’m watching this 3 years after it was posted Feb 2022 and I have tears running down my face! Thank you to every last one of you here that work to keep us safe and anyone reading this!
FLT 433 320 TRS, we didn’t get to do it in front of our families. No families came due to coronavirus but I will always remember TSgt Curry doing this Jody while he marched us one last time. Guide on 433
Man our blue rope mti marched us to graduation with this and when I tell you I was standing “standing tall and looking good” man my eyes were watering so much that morning. Drive on knights! Ready for battle!!
Wow that’s crazy I graduated bmt November 23, 2022. Sgt boelter did this Jodie for us as well. I was the guidon bearer for my flight. I could barely hear him from the wind , rain and flag flapping in my ear as we March to the prc. By the time we got there everyone in the flight was on the verge of crying. It’s crazy you spend the whole time at bmt wishing it was over but that last day you wish you had one more to spend with your wingmen.
Man I cried. I love the military and hope to be in the Air Force soon. I’ve always supported the military since I was in like elementary school. Now years later and have a little time debating it, trying other careers and never having the military option slip my mind, I know that this is my calling. I can’t wait. ❤️🙏🏽🇺🇸
324th FLT 104 B10 our MTI, Sgt Hay, sang this one on our march back from the PRC after graduation. Seeing all these videos of before covid made me really wish family and recordings were allowed bc even though its only been a damn month I miss him lol. Nov 2020 - Jan 2021, a shitty flight but a great MTI
For me it was not too difficult saying goodbye to my Boot Camp Flight Members (3702 FLight 102). What was difficult was saying goodbye to my fellow Teletype Crypto classmates at Sheppard in early June of 1987. I mean when you are part of a core group that did almost everything together for 5 months........
Just recently graduated from the 324th, FLT 488 on July 9th, 2020. My MTIs were TSgt Judie and TSgt Edwards. We did this jodie as we came back into the squadron after graduation and it still hits as hard now as it did then.
I was in the Air force in 1978-1982 was awesome time , Crew chief on fighter jets at Tyndall AFB 325th AGS attached to the 95th Fighter Squadron. A little story one day on the flight line my jet landed and i parked him put the ladder on the side and the pilot had been out west somewhere. He said hey Shoe can you help me with something i said dont know what is it . this is 1979, he said i have 2 cases of Coors beer in the luggage rack (kinda like a fuel belly tank but a luggage carrier) he said if you get it to the fence ill give ya 2 six packs . I said yes lol i was 19 . So he gave me 2 six packs and I got in the Box truck we used on flight line and said hey Sarge Tech Sargent lol you want a cold coors beer , he stopped the truck and said where did you get coors beer ( in 1979 coors beer was not sold east of the mississippi yet) i said dont worry about it you want a beer lol he said hell yes, so there was 6 of us working that day so we all got 2 ice cold slush beers lol , technically they were bootlegging beer on a fighter jet lol we had so much fun down there what memories I salute all Veterans thanks for your service
A Jody (Jodie) is more of a song really and more "fun" on long marches than normal cadences. It comes from the name given in Vietnam to the guy that is back home with your girl. Basically Jody went to school and you were deployed and now Jody has your girl back home. Thank you for your service.
@@WiringSolutionsOKC true, go a little something like this " Ain't no sense in going home, jody's got your girl an gone. Sound off 1-2"!! (USAF) "73-78" Served 🇺🇸✈✈✈✈ #AIMHIGH 31ST. & 86TH. TFW
I came through Lackland back in 1964. I don't remember if there were female recruits back then. But, it sure was a very good time there. The obstacle course was too easy.
I won't get to see this inperson when my son graduates this April 2021 because of Covid19.We wont be able to give him a big hug 😔. Congratulations to the women in this flight.
I remember my encampment and my brothers. APHLA AVENGERS. Best squadron. (Air force auxiliary) We learned a lot , failed, trained, got to do some fun shit, hella fun. Cant wait till AIR FORCE BASIC TRAINING
On the bus to tech school just graduated with my brothers and sisters from the 324th and like my favorite MTI said “this liquid stuff is coming out of my eyes”
This Jodie touched me and as a grown man I dropped a few tears. This is the life we chose congratulations to everybody that graduated that day welcome to the greatest Air Force in the world.

Thanks for your service. You will shed more tears when you lose some of your team members. The pain doesn't go away.

Awww.... brings back great memories. I loved marching and Jodie’s during basic...tear 😀
This brought back memories of when went through boot man time flies 30 year's ago
The last jodie is a heartbreaker for the flight, we do miss our MTI's. Thanks for posting! Trying to remember the lyrics to this for awhile
This is my squadron and I love having Lackland as my techschool because I get to see it each day
Brings back a lot of memories of Lackland. I can smell it. 331st TRS Flt. 294. Graduated April 99.
