I watched this series a few times before I left for basic 2 years ago. It's mostly accurate, but there was much more yelling and chaos in weeks 0-3. We started to get the hang of things around week 4. And by week 6, we had the whole daily routine locked down pretty well. Every once in a while after week 5, somebody would get too comfortable and do something stupid, setting us back to "week 0 mode" for an unspecified amount of time. Just stay locked in, shut up, do what you're told, and never get too comfortable and you'll be fine. Try to take leadership positions and challenge yourself as much as possible to get the most out of the experience. Good luck to anyone leaving soon!
I am going to screenshot your comment to my grandson, who is setting out for boot camp in January
The Air Force is pulling me. Ever get the feeling in your gut that this was the correct path you should have taken long ago?
Do it, then, if it's not too late.
Do it. If it ain't too late
The exact feelings I have right now
@Cody1138 two recruiters have called me so far and they are telling me that my allergies/asthma immediately disqualifies me but I’m gonna keep searching for a way around it because my asthma isn’t bad, I haven’t had a flare up years. The allergist gave me an inhaler because my allergies are kinda the cause of my asthma. I believe there’s a way that I can get a waiver. I just have to take a pulmonary exam to show that my breathing is fine.
Me right now
My daughter just went through all of this and will be graduating next Thursday November 4th 2021. Yes Im a very proud father.
Hell yeah.
Congrats
Hell yeah! I just graduated myself 2 months ago, currently at my Tech school preparing to in-process all the new airman coming in from Lackland this coming Friday, I believe it's the Knights... I'm not sure anymore they mixed them up due to a lot of MTI's taking leave in one squadron
I'm going in next Tuesday. : ) Hope my dad will feel the same.
@@bellablackmist5033 Hey me too!
Just graduated tech school. I remember watching this series before I went to BMT and it’s pretty spot on. I hope this reaches more people about to go in
Congrats! I am going in August!
my son just got in 2days ago. congrats!
I did not realize there would be swimming. My son is in basic rn but cannot swim. 😬
@@SammyKaye32 .. swimming is for special operations not general Air Force. No swimming in basic.
@@tewksburydriver8624Thank you! I did some panicked researching after posting that. Lol
Good luck to all the future Airmen. I joined right out of high school in 1975. It was the best decision I ever made. There was no money for college and I couldn't continue living at home. The USAF gave me a job, housing, medical and educational benefits and an exciting career. After active duty I joined the Air National Guard and became a full time technician. I retired after 38.5 years of service.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you 🙏
Wow thank you for your service sir
Thank you for your long productive and fulfilling service and career. I joined back in May of 1976, just out of high school for most of the reasons you did too. Went DEP, shipping out the day before Thanksgiving that same year. Stayed in for 4 years, extended 8 months so I could avoid one more winter in Alaska ( awesome 18 month tour there) before finishing up at Keesler. Then going on to finish a 4-year college degree that was an extension of my Air Force job, worked 30 years for GM before retiring. Could not have made a better choice. Still have a good friend that I worked with at my first PCS base in South Carolina.
The one thing I learned in Basic that was "drilled" into us as a Flight by our MTI was, "always keep your military bearing". Has worked well for me in life, no matter what challenge one encounters, imho.
On behalf of all those who never said it ...
THANK YOU for your comment to OUR Country.
I'll never forget about you!! ❤
Seeing that young married couple prepare for his departure for BMTS really hit home for me. That was me and my ex-wife thirty years ago. Married one week with a baby on the way and preparing to step foot on that bus to Lackland AFB. All the emotions, anxiety, and uncertainty were captured beautifully in this video. Going into the USAF was the single most important decision of my life and I wouldn’t be the person I am today had it not been for the education and experiences I gained in my seven years of service. Thank you, USAF Recruiting, for reminding me of where it all started.
Thank you for your service.
What happened to your wife?
Ex wife?
Respect to you sir , my dad followed the same approach
Ex what happened
I graduated from BMT last year. Joining the AF was the best decision I ever made. I have learned so much and have met so many great people in just one year. Thankful for this opportunity.
How was the experience at Basic?
BMT was hard but not impossible, there were times were you felt like giving up, up then you realize something, that you measure up to it after all , and then you feel proud then you were that blue uniform, and walk up and down that parade field with AirPower hovering above your head
Liar
Not lying. Not sure how to prove it to you in TH-cam comments lol. Are you in the military?@@dorbinop4468
From a filmmaker's perspective, this is a good doc series. Keep it up Air Force!
The Air Force at the time of life I went through was painful for me but made me a better person. I recommend it to anyone young looking for growth as a person and direction the greatest skill you will learn is teamwork which is important for any career you want to follow.
Air Force retired (27 years). 20 years Civil Engineer/RED HORSE, 7 years MTI. The trainees come from all walks of life. It was always excited to see them become a cohesive team over 6 weeks (now 8!). Cool to see the life of an Airman before BMT! Good luck to all Airmen/Guardians as they embark on their adventure!
Hey sir, I’m currently here at Gulfport tech school for the same job as you had. What advice would you give yourself if you were to redo it again?
@@markangelo_g are you a Structures Airman?
@@coolti44 yessir
@@markangelo_g enjoy it! CE is the best! Work hard play hard! You’ll love it.
Nope it’s 6 again, and in the heat of COVID I think some classes got down to like 2-4 weeks ( those has to go back for more training but we’re officially airman)
Really enjoyed the fact you took the time to introduce us to these soon-to-be Airmen! I also like that you selected a diverse range of candidates from both coasts and the center...plus an open-general candidate and a special forces candidate. WELL DONE! Looking forward to the next episodes. BTW...More than 31 years ago...I arrived at Lackland...and let me tell you as that bus pulled in...I GOT ALL THE FEELS!

@@bobafett_8922 nope. Just the truth ya anti American fool.
@@SuperLumianaire how am I anti American?
Some great advice to the trainees. Don't volunteer for anything in basic and keep your mouth shut. Listen to the instructors, they want you to follow simple instructions and have attention to detail. That is huge in basic!
I respectfully disagree. In Basic Training I was the chow runner, many people would argue that’s the “hardest job”. I didn’t volunteer, though I believe that my entire perspective of basic training was affected by my “job”. As rough as it may be to get yelled at more or learn a responsibility in the first week or two, especially when you’re doing this job 3 times a day, can be stressful, but arguably it changed the way I perceived stress for the rest of basic, and arguably tech school, and even more arguably my career in the operational Air Force. Just saying!!
Impressive. So inspiring seeing the new generation joining the military. Thank you USAF.

I was in the USAF 2001-2005. When I got to SA airport, there was separate area for trainees to wait. Those benches were not comfortable. We got to Lackland in the dark and the driver purposely drove us in circles to get us confused. After that we pulled up to an old building and we were screamed at. A lot. That first night is a blur. Interesting first chapter. Can't wait to see the next.
Thank you for your service.
Why circles?
@@max4750 So they dont remember the route to escape boot camp.
i went there May of 2001
Watching this gives me the flashback and feelings of leaving my fam and gf behind. The experience was definitely worth helping me grow as a person. Good luck to all the soon to
Be new airman and ones going to basic training!
I went to basic training May 18 2021. Returned in august, only to come home to Hurricane IDA and was activated! Enlisted right into the end peak of Covid lol. I should have documented my time before and after basic, however I have photos, a couple of videos and letters :)
I endured basic training at Sampson Air Base. Started 3 March,1953. The Air Force took this lovely Lake Geneva waterfront property over from the Navy. The weather was miserable, and the flu, affectionally known as Samsonitis), was rampant. The DI's never ending verbal assaults that 'Yes Sir, No Sir, keep your mouth shut and your eyes open' served well in my 23+ years of service.
For the people making disparaging remarks about the wife, you certainly lack empathy. These people live in a very small, rural community with very little danger. Her husband is going a thousand miles away into the MILITARY. He wrote our nation a blank check good for his very life. Of course she is worried about him. Hopefully, as his training completes and she is able to join him, she will have the opportunity to grow and mature as much as he will. Exposure to different parts of our country and to even other countries will change her profoundly. I suspect she will be a much stronger person in ten years.
Dude he was going to the chair force 😂
Watching this really takes me back to the summer of '02, when I went through AF BMT. What a journey that was, and what a life it lead me to have today. Thank you, for sharing this and reminding me of where I once came from.
We thank you for your service and continued support!

@@USAirForceRecruitingThank you. My son just actually went and enlisted. He reported to basic on the 20th of this month. Proud he continued the family tradition!
I leave November 29th for the hotel and arrive at Lackland the 30th! Im so excited, i'm gonna be a Air Transportation Specialist. I cannot express how excited and ready I am to go. I've wanted to join the Air Force for so long and I had to make alot of changes to even get the opportunity. I lost over 30 pounds over the span of 2 months and have been training really hard for BMT. I can't wait to begin my career!
Good luck! You’ll learn to enjoy basic. You’ll come out with some new lifelong brothers/sisters. It’s great.
Aye man best of luck to you. I went to basic just this past January and graduated in March, as I’m sure you’ve heard; keep your head down and do what you’re told. It was one of weirded times of my life, but it’s rewarding when you officially earn the title of ‘Airman’. Best of luck, learn what makes your Flight stay organized, do what you’re told, and you’ll do great! We’ll see you soon wingman ‼️
p.s. don’t do Laterne crew, please don’t 💀
Hey man I arrive at lackland on the 30th as well. Good luck dude. We might run into each other
Good for you and lots of luck for the future.
How was the experience at Basic?
BMT - May - July 2014
OTS - October - December 2019
This brings me back
Who couldn't stop watching this once they started?
I went through Basic at Lackland AFB, TX in 1984. We didn’t have these to watch before going to Basic. Needless to say, Basic has changed allot between when I went through land now! Retired in 2005…twenty one years…was a great time and my career went by fast!
I usually watch this series once a year. All the memories coming back from when I graduated in 2003.
Did my time at Lackland forty years ago. It will be interesting to follow this series and see how much things have changed. From what I've seen so far, there have been a lot of changes.
Aug '78, Six weeks then off to tech school at Keesler.
It was Lowry for me. Weapons training at mile high city. Have since learned they shut that base down. Wonder where weapons troops get their training these days?
Thank you for your service sir.
That's a long time ago. Just out of curiosity, what were the MTIs like back then?
@@gokurocks9They swore a lot, but overall, the experience was still the same.
1976 is when I enlisted. I was a 20 year old and so excited to join, go, and be an active duty member of the military. Following in the path of my Mom, Dad, & Brothers (they were all Army), it was now my turn. I loved my military career and had it not been for my now ex who I met in the AF who had tours over seas, I might have re-up'd and done 20 like him...but motherhood yelled louder. Now the torch has been passed to my son who, at 41 yrs old, leaves for AF basic in 6 weeks. He's due to retire from the police force in 2 years so AF reserves will be his new 2nd career. My grandson is also currently serving in the Army like his great-grands.
Already seeing a weeee bit of a difference from what I experienced in the mid-80s lol. Outstanding premise, USAF...and hats off to these young Airmen for taking part...looking forward to the next episode!
This is a wonderful "real life" experience I'm sharing with my New Spouses! Thank you for doing this!
Spouses plural?
Lol. Spouses? Where it at
Plural?
bro spouses?
Spouses? You must be Mormon!
Y’all are so lucky! I went through in 2014 I wish everyday I could go back…so much fun looking back at it.
Yeah basic (all branches) is a unique experience you’ll only get to experience once. What was your afsc?
Much respect to these people I wouldn't make it through basic training.
U definitely can
Everyone can if you put your mind to it
Interesting to see. My dad joined the “newly formed Air Force” way back in the day, and served during Korea. Like one of the back stories, enlisting got him out of poverty with an opportunity for an education and living a middle class life.
Whether you do an initial enlistment or make the Air Force a career, it will get you and your wife out of your town and will gain your independence. Joining the Air Force was the best I made….I wish you good luck with your Air Force journey 🇺🇸
Know this is kind of weird but I’m 25 been working stupid retail jobs don’t really have motivation to go back to school how does it work when you serve do you ever get to come back and see loved ones?
@@drewm9185 I believe you get 1 month leave every year but I’m not entirely sure
@@drewm9185 yes. You get one month accrued leave each year, approximately 2.5 days per month.
I was in TSgt Rice's 1st flight that he pushed in 2018. Man is a legend, can't wait to see him in action again!
I was in his flight before this one featured I can attest his legendary status!!!
He was one of my classroom TI’s that guys a fool. He was awesome
Had him for the nutrition class! We just talked about the best places to eat in SA when we graduated.
Wow BMT was 28 years ago for me those looks of "what did I get myself into" are priceless. I remember thinking that during the first night but it all turned out for the best 25 years of my life USAF Retired 2018.
Salute to u my friend
Been in the Air Force five years now. I still remember that first day getting to BMT. Hard to believe.
Just started some paperwork with an Air Force Reserves recruiter. The job opportunities in my trade are great, and I'll get some cool benefits. Seems like a good move despite the nonsense all government organizations come with. I already know there will be some of that, but that's everywhere.
The military has changed a lot, since I joined in 1965. I was 17 years old when I started basic. Two tech. schools later, I was assigned to Vandenberg AFB as an Aerospace Medical Technician. At the time, that designation was used for medics who worked in the flight surgeons office. I stayed at Vandenberg for the rest of my 4-year enlistment. I used the GI Bill to get a BA and later an MBA. My 4-years in the USAF set me on course for the rest of my life.
22.5 years later, I still remember night 1.
Best job in the world is any job in the U.S. Air Force 🇺🇸. Do your best for four or twenty plus years (usually your choice 🧐) and you and your family will be taken care of for life 😎
Already made the decision
I watched this in April, shipped out in May, and yesterday I marched down the Bomb Run. I’m revisiting this now.

I enlisted back in 1981 just before the recession of 1982-1985! College was a waste of my time and there were no jobs, so the Air Force was my last resort and the best decision I ever made. My 6.5 yrs were full of growth and excitement that can never be replaced. from 1981-1987.
Im an Air Force Veteran. My job was as Air Force Police. It's been 37 years since I joined the Air Force. I joined to Serve my country first and to have a career. 46:15 I will never forget arriving at Lackland AFB at night for the first time!! I wish todays Airmen Gods Speed!
What is Air Force Police? Those guys who walk around parked aircraft, guard empty ammo bunkers, watch missiles which have never moved, and check ID cards at gates? That's not police work. That's guard work like at the gate to my condo.
@@thomasryan2679 Silly little boy......Don't forget about securing thousands of nuclear weapons as well as the President and Air Force 1 and 2. BTW I'm sorry you weren't able to score higher on the ASVAB to have a choice to join the U.S. Air Force.

Joined the AF in 1975 when I was 22. Honorably discharged in 1980 as an E5 (SSgt). It was the right thing for me to do at the time. Guaranteed job as a flight simulator specialist with a tech school that was 8 months long. It was a great experience with no regrets. I would do it again.

So rewarding to watch this after graduating BMT and now in TTS. Good luck to our future American Airmen!
Anyone telling you that the military will set you back 4 years is a damn fool. I did 4 years in the Army. Graduated with my Bachelors in I.T and Masters in Computer Science debt free. I hold a TS / SCI, and I now earn more money than I know what the hell to do with. None of this would be possible with the 4 years I did in the Army.
10 Oct 2000....I can't believe it's been >20 years already...man I feel old. Hopefully this new generation of Airmen don't have to fight the wars we did.
Thank you for your service💯❤️
10 October 2000 was my reporting date to Lackland as well. 322 TRS, Flight 020.
46:03 - Wearing that shirt is a warning sign to MTI's that you need some special attention. When I joined the first words out of my Recruiter's mouth were don't be stupid and wear an Air Force shirt when you arrive at BMT.
I was told this series includes film from my flight! Can't wait to see it lol it's been so long 🙂
What up Martin
@@connorwoodin9098 hey Woody 😂
How long ago was this filmed?
@@Coltontutt It was filmed near the end of 2019.
I joined the Air Force in 1988. I was going down a bad road and needed to get away from all the bad decisions I was making at the time so the Air Force saved my life. If I can tell any new recruit it would be this. BMT is a 8 week long evaluation to see who can follow instruction. Who can handle stress. The yelling the drill instructors do to each recruit, the impossible tasks they give recruits is for a reason. Everything the drill instructors do is for a reason. So do this. Keep your mouth shut. Listen to what the instructors are saying. Don not volunteer for anything. You are not there to socialize. You are there to learn. Don't think for one second they are picking on you because they are not. Listen listen listen. Do what they say. The inpossible tasks I mentioned are to promote team building because there is no I in team. If you are considering joining any branch of the military and are hesitant of basic training, this applies to all of you. Being a part of something bigger than you is something you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Embrace the horror because what awaits you on the other side is worth every miserable second. Once you complete basic military training, things get alot different and once you complete technical training and enter in to the real Air Force, things will be completely different as far as how you are treated. Remember, it's a game. Basic military training is the first step. Every journey begins with the first step. If I had it to do all over again, I'd do it all over again. You get out of it what you put in to it.
Flight 481 from the 331st here! April 28- June 28 2019! TSgt Creedon and SSgt Fernandez were my MTIs. Most fun I never want to have again.
I was there the same dates, 323rd Flt 478.
I definitely agree, a lot of fun but don’t want to do it again.
my dad stationed at LAFB we lived in SA for 8 years, besttime of my life at 6-14 yrs old, Bartons on military drive was my next of home ... miss it so much.
I haven’t been able to picture myself doing anything in life but I can see myself in the armed forces. I have this feeling that this is what I’m supposed to do. I’ve prayed long and hard for the lord to show me a sign and I think this is it. Right now, I have to pick between which branch and it’s between the Airforce and army marines is very enticing tho. I made an 87 on my practice asvab too!

U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting
In my humble opinion, the USAF recruits people with higher intelligence because the jobs we do require the highest technology. Good luck making your choice, whichever branch you choose. I went in with a guaranteed job. If that program is still available, look into it. Warning: those jobs are usually the ones with the most need/vacancies, so what is a guaranteed job at one time may not be at a later time, depending upon which jobs the USAF needs at any time. They are also more likely to be high-stress jobs. The young man in this video is under the guaranteed job program, and his choice (air traffic control) is THE most high-stress job in civilian life.
46 yrs ago for me, Flt 0520/May-July 1975. Sure have been a lot of changes from the looks of it. Looking forward to the next episode.

Do you still want to do it
I’m starting my process currently. My mom was USAF and she joined at 38, divorced with 3 teens. She always told me “if your mom could do it then you can too”. I’ve gotten a lot of information the last decade so I’m pretty “informed” but I know I’m not prepared. Not in a bad way though, I’m really looking forward to the journey and becoming a better person so I can be better for my wife and daughter.
My life after high school wasn’t conventional and I was always push by my dad to get into a trade and stop with the odd jobs. Well I couldn’t afford schooling and even though he has been very well off he never offered to help. The job market was unforgiving and as of now I don’t have a consistent resume. I want to join to give myself some consistency and a good foundation for a career after I’m out. I know what I’m getting myself into and I’m grateful for the vets in my life that have given me info I need. I’m not scared but I will miss my daughter immensely.

Ray
U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting
@@USAirForceRecruiting yes sir. Appointment is set tomorrow to submit my documents and take the practice asvab. I am a little worried only because my wife doesn’t want to leave our current home to move wherever I get deployed. Is there anyway that can be accommodated? I really don’t want to be away from my daughter for that long. The decision may have me consider ANG or reserves.
@joshuaking1433 If qualified, all applicants must attend training. ANG is normally a part-time job which means you do not move. You will go to training alone as your family will not go with you, and come back to your base.
Deployment means you leave your base you are stationed at (where you work) for a short amount of time, but you will come back to your base that you are stationed at. Deployment lengths for the Air Force on average are 4-6 months.
Suggest you speak with your recruiter so that they can help you better understand you and your family are not moving.

U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting
@@USAirForceRecruiting I appreciate the response. I do understand that they cannot come with me for BMT and training. It’s where I get stationed after tech school. My wife doesn’t want to leave her job in Phoenix. Number one on my dream list will be Luke AFB because if this, and the rest will be the closest surrounding bases in the neighboring states. If I don’t get stationed at Luke AFB I’ll be somewhere father for as long as I’m needed at that particular base correct?
@joshuaking1433 You are welcome. During Basic Military Training (BMT), you will complete an Assignment Preference Worksheet listing up to eight stateside and/or eight overseas locations for a total of 16 choices. You can list a location by base, state, region, or country. You will be notified of your Base of Assignment around the time of graduation from Technical Training (tech school).

Thanks for this lil trip down memory lane. Me and this guy had quite a bit in common
Wife: youre cute
Chris: I'm aware
Just graduated Aug 11, got honor grad and my flight got commanders excellence and academic excellence, being a dorm chief is the way to go. You need, we lead, RAIDERS
He’s really onto something about that standing up thing lmao😭
He needs to present that idea on Shark Tank.
"Bury people standing up." great idea.
Definitely worth taking a chance. I ship out on the 16 next month and I’m so excited
Awesome!! Here are some things to help you before and during BMT.
1. Know your reporting statement
2. Teamwork is essential
3. Know your chain of command
4. Know the Airmen’s Creed
5. Know the Air Force Song
6. Know Air Force ranks (both enlisted & officers)
7. Know Air Force Core values
8. Recommend being at or close to the BMT PT graduation level before you go to BMT.

30:06 A GOOD ADVISE for teenager or people who are finishing the high school. (the contract time will fly a that age- beside you will have money for the rest of your life even is it a little)
Do your 20 or Res/Grd to get your time for retirement, don't quit. Also, pick a career that can easily transition to civil once your done. 68thAES/452AES 90-97.
Huge decision, but one that will change your life forever.
I’m watching theses vids to get myself 100% into it took a year to get my head here but i think i’m gonna join
This is literally Dwight from the office joins the military....
i feel like adventure is in my blood and the air force is calling me
I'm joining. I'm tired of jumping from job to job giving up vacation and holidays because I don't care about vacations or celebrating holidays. I don't have kids or a woman to cook me a meal after a hard day at work. Both of my businesses have flopped. I still have a clean record. Never been locked up. Still young at 32. No allergies or injuries. I'm above average in intelligence and I'm just lost. I intend on joining and staying until I retire.
Great, What is your zip code?

I can't wait to join in a few years
The air force is Excellent leadership and the young people when I was in boot camp I enjoyed my six weeks of training I wish I could go back but I pass that time I leave it to my grandchildren to carry on with the legacy. A1C SPRINGER.
My final out was last Friday. Something compelled me to watch this, and the memories are flooding back. DINSTAAR HUA!!
I don't know how this came up in my feed for today, coincidental. It was 33 years ago today that my parents brought 18 year old me to the recruiters office in Framingham, Mass where I was brought to Boston to the MEPS and then to a HoJo hotel in beautiful Dorchester...with a commanding view of a filled in pool so I could get up early the next day, process through MEPS, swear in and fly down to Lackland where I would start what would be a 21+ year career in AD and reserves, the best thing I ever did in my life, no regrets.
The bus ride to Lackland. How people got quieter and quieter the closer to base. Dead quiet past the gate.
I will be joining the air force pretty soon and I'm excited to join I can't wait to see what it has in store for me I always wanted to be in the AF since a kid I'm going to live out my dream
Update?
So, this guy is married and lives with his father but WON’T do the damn dishes??? Sounds like a hell of a guy.
watching this cause i’m planning on joining the air force next year and this is really hyping me up.
A week away and my stomach is in knots but I'm so excited
You were in week 3-4 as I read this. I hope time will fly by for you. Good luck!
Shipping out August 6th 🥺I love binge watching these videos before I leave!

Nice :) what’s your afsc?

being a free diver I could hold my breath for 5 min. I was a CCT for 12 years.
I love this video…. I graduated college in 94 in nm and couldn’t find a job, I didn’t wanna go welfare or food stamps so I went us army m1a1 tanks instead…..best 7 years of my life….of course when I arrived I arrived at the Louisville Airport, I think remember, ‘what’s your name, do you have your packet, get on the bus’…
Encouraging part of this video from a marine corps veteran perspective is seeing them do pull-ups the same way we do. Discouraging part was when he told the kid to flood his mask and he responded no sir and then proceeded to question the instruction 😂 cool video though.
You'll meet some of the most amazing people you'll ever meet in tech school and once you leave you'll never hear from almost any of them again.
I'm pulling for this kid👍 good luck!
My only small complaint about this video, it could've been edited down some. Theres just extra time/shots that don't REALLY need to be here.
I went in in 2012 (at age 26 mind you), out in 2017. Basic was weird/kinda disappointing for me. Physically, I thought high school football camp was harder. I thought we'd get to shoot more than just like 30 min. Didn't get to stick fight either because of BLACK FLAG (we were BEGGING the TIs to let us...this was the biggest disappointment for me) and part of the obstacle course was closed because of rains/flooding!
Like others have said, most fun I never want to have again lol
January 25th I ship out and I’m a wee bit excited

We didn’t have pull ups as a requirement to be able to enter the Air Force. They had it far and few at PT, but never something that was stressed to be able to do. Guess this must be something added later.
Edit: same with the sit-ups. It was never hands behind out head, back breaking 90 degrees. It was hands crossed on out shoulders, elbows touch knees.
Edit edit: never mind I just realized they’re doing training for special operations career.
thats for special warfare
This will literally be me in days… Land at Lackland August 2…😳😁
Dude I am from Minford OH just about 30 minutes from Beaver and have eaten many fishtail sandwiches from the Dairy Bar there! Rock on!! 22 Years retired AF.
