@@maxtaylor12 You may have seen a similar video but it wasn't this one. They didn't start issuing OCP's (the uniforms they're wearing) until October 2019.
I enlisted in 78 spent 6 years Security Police (security forces now),then cross trained into Pararescue for my final 22 years. I am 60 now and man all I can say is that the Air Force was truly a "Great Way of Life " ( old 70's recruiting slogan). Now I sit back and look at all of you Dinks,and Pickles and hope for the best in your chosen career fields. I salute you,one and all and thank you for your service.
As a kid in the 70's i always wanted to join the Airforce. I remember meeting a recruiter and was given a book about Basic at Lackland AFB. One reason or another i joined the Army and stayed in for 6 years. After getting out i was still young and thought to myself why not go into the Airforce. The for some reason a joined the Army National Guard and that was that. Now i regret not joining. My point is don't have regrets just do what your heart tells you.
They do so much more in Air Force BMT than we did when i went through in '93. Ours was only 6 weeks and we didn't do hand-to-hand combat training, didn't do the gas chamber, we only spent a day or two on the rifle range and certainly didn't have a rifle in our barracks and our PT was much less involved (we never even did pull-ups). They really rushed us through. It looks like the AF has really tried to get more in line with the Army and Marines in trying to develop soldiers as well as Airmen. Kuddos to them.
I was there in 1969. We had six weeks, but no combat training, one day on the range only, no rifle in the barracks. It was during summer and we had to take handfuls of salt pills at each meal to counteract the heat. Do they still do that? Thanks.
I still can't believe I went through all this over 10 years ago. That while time flew by soooooo fast. Met so of the best people ever in the military. HUA to the young folks making the decision to serve. You're apart of something MUCH bigger than yourself and you should be very proud.
Wow the new uniforms look Awesome. Looks like legitamite camouflage, I thought ABU camo looked cool but thought that it could blend into furniture better than outdoor terrain. That's a good update for the air force :)
I started my lackland experience on April fool's day 1981! That first day I felt like a fool and wondered what the hell I had gotten myself into! It didn't last long, eventually wound up being assigned to the 1st special operations unit at hurlburt field fla and was a weapons mechanic on AC- 130H gunships and HH-53 pave low helps! Couldn't have been more proud to serve in this outfit! Best times of my life! 35 yrs later I still dream I'm there! My only regret is I didn't stay in for a career!
Wow! Exactly 40 years to the day and month that I began my basic training: 1979. Squadron 3707, Flight 048. I was a squad leader. No camouflage back then, and black boots we had to keep shined. Only male T.I.s. in the male dorms. And a lot less immunizations.
@@TheKamakuraGardener We started with an interim TI who was only filling in until the permanent TI returned from leave. Well, he came in one night very drunk with a buddy and proceeded to cross the line with verbal abuse. We informed the interim TI the next day and that was all she wrote for the drunken fool. He wasn’t even in uniform. I hope he lost his hat.
@@scottgoodrich5825 Damn! My TIs were the epitome of professionalism. I still remember their names 45 years later, Hector Merced and David Andradé. 👍🏾🤩🐶
Ahh MSgt Golding. She was a fill-in MTI during my 2nd week of training at the 323rd. She was very firm but also extremely down to Earth while in the day room. Glad to see she got to push her own flight back with the gators.
I went through AF basic in 1997. This looks way more relaxed and chill than what I went through. The dorms are so much nicer and cleaner than what we had. Night 1 we all had to shower with our shoes on then pack them in our bags with our personal clothes and affects which were then locked up until after graduation. When we got our stuff back everything stunk from being closed up with wet shoes for 8 weeks. We were screamed at the second we got off the bus till the day we went to tech school. Haha.
I went through BMT at Lackland way back in 1980. 3704 if memory serves me. Tech Sgt. Michael Eagan was my Drill Instructor.I owe that man for my honesty. He was everything you would ever want in a Drill Instructor, a Father figure and mentor. I would do anything for him. He gave me my nickname, Sumo! Stuck with me ever since! Aim High Everyone!!

@@georgelopez1478 its honestly not that difficult, just do what you're told when you're told to do it and there won't be any problems. You most likely won't get yelled at for no reason.

A lot of the instructors are actually pretty chill when you're in the day room, we could laugh and talk with ours as long as we knew certain limitations, but do not try to joke around outside of the day room. Cough drops are currency pretty much, some may even play poker for them, i did, but absolutely no matter what you do, do not get caught, be very careful or don't be an idiot and dont do it at all. Prepare for PT, don't sit on your ass before you leave. A lot of training is in the classroom and down time in the dorm, you can normally safely socialize in your dorm. Try not to volunteer for a student leader position (element leader or dorm chief) unless you like that kind of responsibility, if you do become one, dont be an asshole, nobody will like or respect you. Everyone will have some kind of job at BMT, try to get water monitor, its super easy and you just fill waters at chow. That's about all i have, though none of that may apply since things are always changing with covid-19 being a thing. Best of luck to you.
AF Basic training for me was Aug. 1979. Hot and Humid @ 8pm. The clothing and stuff they gave us was left over from the Viet Nam war. OD cotton uniforms. Black leather combat boots. Convers sneaker's. Single strap duffel bag's. What a trip. BT was only 6 weeks long.
USAF just needs its recruits to get fit and learn the military basics in BMT. It really focuses on developing world class tech schools so it has technicians and operators for its sophisticated weapons systems.
@@fifarobinson4895 Unless your thinking about a career in law enforcement don't. Most of the time SP duty is often boring. Think about what you will do when you get out of the Air Force. If you pick a trade such as electrical or electronics or even plumbing you will always have a trade. If you do SP you will limited to security work or joining a police department.
Back in my day, we got a hot towel, cream and straight edge shave with our haircut, topped off with a Andes chocolate mint at the end. Also, we weren't issued cammies, we got solid green issues, aka pickle suits.
Was this really filmed and made in 2019-2020? Cause man, this is like early 2000’s vibes right here. Not complaining, it’s super nostalgic and reminds me of all the documentaries and educational videos my old teacher would force us to watch. You really don’t see this kind of editing nowadays, I miss it.
The only thing that's most likely gonna change is already getting more than five shots on one arm they are probably going to triple that number and make it fifteen
You will get the proper training but the experience will be different it’s different for everyone. Things will be adjusted and changed all throughout your military career you just have to roll with the punches, made a great decision trainee. Just don’t forget how to say your reporting statement 😂
Funny how everyone says their training was harder than these guys!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂 but but that’s different 🤣😂😐😐🤚😆😷😷😷 yes their immaturity came out and standoff came out conceited they should not have been talking about Twitter and Xbox and Snapchat but hey because of their sacrifice we are able to watch it on video freely! So appreciate them!! Stop hating
42 years ago today I started my first day in Boot Camp! Sqdn 3711 / Flt. 337 (Honor Flight). Looks like they added afew more things like hand-to-hand combat and gas chamber. My last day at Boot Camp was my birthday and a long ride to Keesler AFB for 6 months and then off to Torrejon Air Base, Spain. Had a great AFSC which I was able to use my skill sets and landed a great 25 year career on the outside. One of my best decisions was joining the Air Force. Would do it all over again!
Now I feel old. In 2005, we wore the woodland camo BDU and didn't get to wear the PT gear in the video. The gear wasn't issued until week 3 with your blues. We didn't get a rifle to train with too.
Thanks for your service! My son who went through training in this video said it sucks when you're going through it, but once you're out and past tech school you start to have better memories of your time there. Fly High!
I feel bad for the men who never went and did a tour in the military.....both my brother and 2 brother in laws wish they had right out of high school like me......I have probably had at least a dozen guys tell me the same thing when they found out I had served......
During the immunization section, what do the different tags on their shirts meant, is 4 shots all you get, and what happened to the “peanut butter” shot? Also if u get some of them shots beforehand, do you still have to get them?
@@Not_OSI I went through in 2011 and was in decent shape. You'll work out every morning and be on your feet most of the day. You can be a twig boy, but your MTIs will make sure you can knock out all your requirements by your eighth week... or they'll retain you until you can! Personally, I'd recommend focusing on cardio until you can consistently run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes or less. Also, keep in mind that they're doing this while the cameras are rolling. The Air Force is still the Army's baby brother, but don't think your MTIs won't scream in your face.
From the beginning, I already knew this video was a lie, because when we first got there, we had to speed walk as fast as we could to the MPR, And we had holdover airmen in there yelling at us to not touch our face and so on. Nov 2019-Jan 2020
I'm done with ASVAB, MEPS, and the swear in. All I'm waiting for is when I'm going to BMT, and of course, I'm hella excited and nervous. Excited because this a new chapter in my life and nervous that I might not make it
@@hatelove5194 my Asvab score was 67. Tip: Try out the *asvab test app* in the app store (free). Subjects in the test includes Electronics, Auto and shop, mechanical, etc., but focus more on the arithmetic (math), word/paragraphs knowledge, and science. But still, higher scores means bigger opportunities. If you have anymore questions, I'll be glad to help you

Hola amigos me enca taria aver sido militar me encanta todo lo de militar me encanta sus videos dios me los bendiga saludos de Monterrey nuevo León México
@@MayAllYourStarsAlign well that's up to you guys. It normally takes a while to join, as it is a very long process to go through. In my opinion, I would start the process right now because it will probably take close to 6 months from the first time you talk to the recruiter to when he will actually leave. Also, the military is trying to reopen everything right now and they are attempting to get back to normal. As we speak however, bmt is a completely different environment and there was so many things that we didn't do.
Damn, no web belts, nothing quite like stuffing your flashlight, BMTSG, pens and notebook into a tiny ass pouch and having your canteen hang next to it.
Nunya Business you sound like a undisciplined solder .. as. Marine it’s obvious that the Air Force has picked it up, while the Army can’t march. Yell back at the ds. Can’t move without a battle buddy.
Radisleo, I served six years in the Marine Corps infantry, "I don't like needles". It's not the branch, it's the individual. There were a few turds in my squad who didn't "like shots". That doesn't detract from the fact that these men and women decided to serve.
Those are very nice barracks! Nothing like the ones they had when I went through boot camp in 1998. I wish they would show clips of the chow hall. That experience was brutal and the most unpleasant, especially when you are the chow runner like I was.
I'm only 15 atm but I honestly cannot wait to go into the airforce, I feel drawn to it and nothing has changed over 3 years of wanting to join the airforce
My son graduates Basic Training on Dec 10, 2020. It was nice to see a little bit of what he went through. Some things have changed since I did it in 1976, but the basic idea is still there. Just look at the faces as they come off the bus! They're all wondering What the hell have I done? My son didn't have to do the Chamber because of Covid. Sadly, families are unable to attend graduation ceremonies, also because of Covid. Fortunately, they will allow him Exodus, and he'll be coming home from tech school two weeks for Christmas. He is going to be learning Fighter Aircraft Integrated Avionics (for the F15 Eagle) at Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls, TX. We share that experience as well, only my field was Accounting and Finance.

mine would during wall locker PCs and RLAs
Study time? Tf is study time?
It's the CHAIR FORCE, for gawd's sake. LOL

Ok, Theodore.
Back in my day, we got a hot towel, cream and straight edge shave with our haircut, topped off with a Andes chocolate mint at the end.
Also, we weren't issued cammies, we got solid green issues, aka pickle suits.
I’m proud of u Lexi!!
Was this really filmed and made in 2019-2020? Cause man, this is like early 2000’s vibes right here. Not complaining, it’s super nostalgic and reminds me of all the documentaries and educational videos my old teacher would force us to watch. You really don’t see this kind of editing nowadays, I miss it.
Especially with the papyrus font to the beginning
This is December 2019 to February 2020 but they didn't show the group that went from December to February
I can’t wait !!
I’m singing up. This looks much easier than I thought tbh!
I’m kinda scared since I won’t get proper bmt experience because of coronavirus
cory vu You’ll be fine, they just might space you apart 6 feet when training and everything you do will be with a mask on. Thank you for your service!
have you went to MEPS yet?? im waiting for them to open back up
The only thing that's most likely gonna change is already getting more than five shots on one arm they are probably going to triple that number and make it fifteen
We never did get full bmt experience
You will get the proper training but the experience will be different it’s different for everyone. Things will be adjusted and changed all throughout your military career you just have to roll with the punches, made a great decision trainee. Just don’t forget how to say your reporting statement 😂
Watching this video I was wondering when basic training was going to start.
Little did y’all know. This was Disney land squadrons. They showed the light stuff. It’s the stuff behind closed doors y’all didn’t see.
I can tell you right now this video isn't accurate
Man these guys mti’s weren’t mean at all. 331st wolf pack were mean af. Top academic flight 657
The Minuteman facts man 331st MTI’s when I went through in August were ruthless lol
Funny how everyone says their training was harder than these guys!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂 but but that’s different 🤣😂😐😐🤚😆😷😷😷 yes their immaturity came out and standoff came out conceited they should not have been talking about Twitter and Xbox and Snapchat but hey because of their sacrifice we are able to watch it on video freely! So appreciate them!! Stop hating
Went through with MSgt Golding in Oct 2018, and I'll never forget how great of an MTI she was
Yup she was cool she was our sister flights mti
42 years ago today I started my first day in Boot Camp! Sqdn 3711 / Flt. 337 (Honor Flight). Looks like they added afew more things like hand-to-hand combat and gas chamber. My last day at Boot Camp was my birthday and a long ride to Keesler AFB for 6 months and then off to Torrejon Air Base, Spain. Had a great AFSC which I was able to use my skill sets and landed a great 25 year career on the outside. One of my best decisions was joining the Air Force. Would do it all over again!
The way the one dude jams those needles in though! Ouch!
They all stayed so calm during those shots i would have lost my mind lol
No fucking kidding dudes looked like they were just jamming that shit in their arm
Now I feel old. In 2005, we wore the woodland camo BDU and didn't get to wear the PT gear in the video. The gear wasn't issued until week 3 with your blues. We didn't get a rifle to train with too.
2005 bmt here as well. we didn't get time out cards either.
This makes me excited to go
I was there during this time good times to be alive Missed Christmas and new years
11:06 what do you think you're doing *stares
Looked into the camera like it's the office lol
Well that was uncomfortable
I’m off to basic training in 10 days. I’m excited
Thanks for your service! My son who went through training in this video said it sucks when you're going through it, but once you're out and past tech school you start to have better memories of your time there. Fly High!
Thanks for the post
I feel bad for the men who never went and did a tour in the military.....both my brother and 2 brother in laws wish they had right out of high school like me......I have probably had at least a dozen guys tell me the same thing when they found out I had served......
Watched this compared to Army and Marines and holy hell it is night and day difference, still going Air Force!
During the immunization section, what do the different tags on their shirts meant, is 4 shots all you get, and what happened to the “peanut butter” shot? Also if u get some of them shots beforehand, do you still have to get them?
much respect ✈️
6:28 homeboy was struck by lighting ⚡️
Haha that’s my roommate from tech school, he had hair then had no idea 👀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@owenhutto770 fr? Is that a scar like that can’t be natural
After watching this, I have no more concern or worries about the air force.
Same I’m over here trying to get in fantastic shape and I see these bean poles
@@Not_OSI I went through in 2011 and was in decent shape. You'll work out every morning and be on your feet most of the day. You can be a twig boy, but your MTIs will make sure you can knock out all your requirements by your eighth week... or they'll retain you until you can!
Personally, I'd recommend focusing on cardio until you can consistently run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes or less. Also, keep in mind that they're doing this while the cameras are rolling. The Air Force is still the Army's baby brother, but don't think your MTIs won't scream in your face.
A lot of memories for me. January 13, 1971.
i ship out on august 11 and i’m nervous but super excited at the same time
Good luck! It’s not all that bad. Once you get the hang of everything it becomes very easy.
CME thank you !!
How did it go?
I have this same video cause my husband was in during that time too
From the beginning, I already knew this video was a lie, because when we first got there, we had to speed walk as fast as we could to the MPR, And we had holdover airmen in there yelling at us to not touch our face and so on. Nov 2019-Jan 2020
Y’all have it easy chill
Yeah, the white chick with the damn curly hair?!
They prepared y’all for the corona lol
I was there for that lol then we had to eat those frozen ass sandwiches
itachi9789 those frozen sandwiches are the worst thing about AF bmt
I'm done with ASVAB, MEPS, and the swear in. All I'm waiting for is when I'm going to BMT, and of course, I'm hella excited and nervous. Excited because this a new chapter in my life and nervous that I might not make it
What is your ASVAB score ? Any tips ?
@@hatelove5194 my Asvab score was 67.
Tip: Try out the *asvab test app* in the app store (free). Subjects in the test includes Electronics, Auto and shop, mechanical, etc., but focus more on the arithmetic (math), word/paragraphs knowledge, and science. But still, higher scores means bigger opportunities.
If you have anymore questions, I'll be glad to help you
Get deployed calm down their buddy sounds like you haven't even been to bmt
@@rubeno_2463 oh shoot, my bad. I meant going to BMT. I corrected it tho, but thanks👍
This looks like off season football training but at summer camp. I honestly can't wait
They must've remodeled those barracks at some point. They look alot different than they did in '91. These guys all look so young. Damn i feel old...3706 bmts Aug '91
3701 BMTS March - May 1987.
I'm Real Old!..3702 BMTS Flight 049..Aug 82.
6:27 I would love to hear the story about this scar
Humpty dumpty fell off a wall
@@josephgonyea I knew someone in high school with a similar scar. I think it was a cranial surgery.
Is it me or is watching them get the haircuts sooo satisfying
The same barbers are there since I went through 2 years ago. Fucking wild bro
169 we so damn divine when you put in that time
It will be 35 years since I left for Air Force basic training.
how was.it?
chon rodriguez he died from traumatic BMT flashbacks
@@CamConscious rip
I leave in May and the thought of doing this in 95-degree weather is not sitting well with me
Tiana Malave good luck!
I also leave in May!
Di Lon I ship out on the 13th wbu?
Nice. 25th of may for me
19th here !
Hola amigos me enca taria aver sido militar me encanta todo lo de militar me encanta sus videos dios me los bendiga saludos de Monterrey nuevo León México
Just got done with bmt two weeks ago. People in my flight got coronavirus and it was terrible. Bmt is so different right now from how it usually is
@@MayAllYourStarsAlign well that's up to you guys. It normally takes a while to join, as it is a very long process to go through. In my opinion, I would start the process right now because it will probably take close to 6 months from the first time you talk to the recruiter to when he will actually leave. Also, the military is trying to reopen everything right now and they are attempting to get back to normal. As we speak however, bmt is a completely different environment and there was so many things that we didn't do.
Damn, no web belts, nothing quite like stuffing your flashlight, BMTSG, pens and notebook into a tiny ass pouch and having your canteen hang next to it.
Nunya Business you sound like a undisciplined solder .. as. Marine it’s obvious that the Air Force has picked it up, while the Army can’t march. Yell back at the ds. Can’t move without a battle buddy.
These guys got it good compared to when I went to BMT in 03.
When i was in (1996) about 2:30 a TI would barrel through "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY CENTER AISLE!!!"
I leave September 1st, thanks for the video
I was in Great Lakes for navy at this time. Cold af and missed 3 holidays
Did someone really just say “I don’t like needles”
Radisleo, I served six years in the Marine Corps infantry, "I don't like needles". It's not the branch, it's the individual. There were a few turds in my squad who didn't "like shots". That doesn't detract from the fact that these men and women decided to serve.
@@philquintana7790 that is a long story man. Could of been said in a few words, you do not have a choice on anything, you do.
Those are very nice barracks! Nothing like the ones they had when I went through boot camp in 1998. I wish they would show clips of the chow hall. That experience was brutal and the most unpleasant, especially when you are the chow runner like I was.
adaonetube they don’t show the real stuff cuz people won’t join
When were you there? I was there May '98 at the 321st.
Chow runner go!
Good ole chair force!!!
Ahhh the memories of zero night.
At 31:09 THAT MAN JUST SAID YEEET?!?!?
I KNOW TO GOD AND UNCLE SAM I aM NoT goInG to saY ThaT
That’s my old MTI 🤣
I'm only 15 atm but I honestly cannot wait to go into the airforce, I feel drawn to it and nothing has changed over 3 years of wanting to join the airforce
update?
September 1975. 3726 BMTS... flight 32. Wore OD green and the old barracks. Security specialist after camp Bullish. Man, so long ago.
Oh damn I thought it was just a clip or something from their boot but they recorded the whole thing
Anyone else remember running down those stairwells in 15 secs for PT!?
Yes, how we did not trip is beyond me!
Royal Tee utilize the hang rails, utilize the handrails; take every step! My word it feels like yesterday...
My son graduates Basic Training on Dec 10, 2020. It was nice to see a little bit of what he went through. Some things have changed since I did it in 1976, but the basic idea is still there. Just look at the faces as they come off the bus! They're all wondering What the hell have I done? My son didn't have to do the Chamber because of Covid. Sadly, families are unable to attend graduation ceremonies, also because of Covid. Fortunately, they will allow him Exodus, and he'll be coming home from tech school two weeks for Christmas. He is going to be learning Fighter Aircraft Integrated Avionics (for the F15 Eagle) at Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls, TX. We share that experience as well, only my field was Accounting and Finance.
Congratulations, this is a special time for you and your son for sure.
Summer camp looks fun
Where's the airgun immunizations?
SECOND TO NONE, COME GET SOME! PRIDE, CHARACTER, EXCELLENCE!! --- FLT 193

How fast do they expect you to run the 1.5 mile at the end of BMT? Thanks
Been there done that BMTS 3723/FLT035 in Jan-Feb ‘83.Basic training In Lackland AFB was a totally different experience and well worth it..PROUD TO SERVE 🇺🇸👍NOW GIVE ME A 341 AIRMEN!!!!!! I can still hear the MTIs SCREAMING /Hell my MTI got on our bus when we arrived and STARTED BARKING OUT ORDERS!!!Basic seems like summer camp these days 😮
Who is training who? I don't get it. Are the recruits training each other or something?
Sometimes, like when we were practicing drill, they would have us face each other to correct our movements. They wanted it to be cooperative.
I'm calm down there Gomer
Fuckin boomer crayon eater
Everything in Texas is chaotic
@@CleoraAleise Im sorry, but I dont think anything, in any place of Air Force bootcamp is chaotic.
It's still weird seeing Air Force in OCPs.
True, but I prefer the ocps
Do you have the video of Jan-March 2020 by any chance?
This is what I will be doing starting august 17th. I'm going for aircraft hydraulic systems
