Battlefield Airmen no longer swim during BMT. They usually do separate workouts during the morning before everyone else that only consist of PJ, CCT, SOWT, and TACP. The workouts usually consist of a handful of movements or a 3 mile run. Also look forward to a few smoke sessions. You will have little meetings with coaches, operators, or instructors that are sort of meant to motivate you and inform you what is to come. Also don't stand out during the cadre workouts, meaning perform 100% and just make sure you look like everyone else. Also the protein bars are good.
@@michaelchurch7453 During Special Warfare Prep which is after basic. I suggest doing some swimming with your developer prior to shipping. During Special Warfare Prep you'll be trained on swimming and water con.
For those who may be wondering about the 1Z4X1 (Special Reconnaissance) physical requirements for graduation standards, they are: Minimum 12 pull-ups in 2 minutes Minimum 75 sit-ups in 2 minutes Minimum 64 push-ups in 2 minutes 5 mile run in 36:32 (7:18/mile pace) 1500m swim in 32:00 15 mile ruck in 300 minutes (20:00/mile pace w/ 75lb. ruck)
@Greedo entry standards are just being able to perform the PAST test at any time of day. Here are grad standards: @Da boy Bucko TACP Apprenticeship Grad Standards are: - 8 pull-ups in 1 minute - 50 sit-ups in 1 minute - 45 push-ups in 1 minute - 1.5 mile run in 11:05 (7:25 mile pace) - 12 mile ruck in 240 minutes (20:00 mile with 45 lb. rucksack) This info is just the bare minimum to graduate the course. I have friends who have said that at grad standards the cadre loaded up almost all of them with close to 100lbs. of gear. Expect more than 45lbs. but obviously, start training for a month or so with 10-15lbs. since most people don't ruck. Also, if people think rucking is as easy as walking around with a backpack just like at school, look up how to do it properly. Oh, and walk long distances, not just to and from classrooms that are less than two miles from each other.
So I went through BMT in March on a TACP contract, so hopefully I can add alittle more current knowledge to the stew SSGT is preparing. 1) they don't have primarily battlefield flights anymore (kinda made "top pt flight" alittle unfair) but you will have the guys you'll be on team with @ Medina (where TACP training is) in your BMT flight. 2) Most (with very few exceptions) of the Battlefield canidates are going to be in one of two training squadrons. These training squadrons have the experience and personnel to manage battlefield canidates. 3) when I left BMT they were just getting the ball rolling on renewing the swim sessions. They had to stop them some time between 09 and March 16. You may have to attend unless you're EOD or TACP although I highly encourage you try to get in on the sessions because it can't hurt 4) a tip that I would give out to any seeking to become a battlefield airmen, is train above the standard. If your PAST test says 40 push-ups a min, aim for 60.
What are the PAST Requirements for TACP If you want to get into that field ? When do you complete your first PAST ? There wasn't much useful information online and each source seemed to have a different answer. If you Complete MEPS for the first time and TACP contract is Available to you what are your next steps to secure that occupation to ship out to BMT? Thank you.
Santos and I came through BMT together. We were in with a lot of people that were not BA. The swimming happens once a week. The PT was the same as everyone else and we never took a PAST until we started TACP prep. A handful of us got out of bed every night and knocked out a few hundred pushups and flutter kicks, because PT was so lacking.
In my flight they put 18 of us battlefielders into a flight and filled the rest of the slots with non battlefield trainees. The largest percentage of battlefielders I saw was a flight that had 39 Pjs. The amount of extra exercise you get depends on your MTIs. its mostly going to be up to the individual to find spare time to excercize. You will learn more information when you arrive to BMT through weekly battlefield meetings that are held typically every Tuesday.
While at basic cct,sowt, and PJ swam on Saturday. There are mentoring sessions every Tuesday. Battlefield airmen were not put in a flight with all other battlefield they were all split up between about 6 different flights . I know there were 2 PJ flights that came in 3 weeks after us with only PJs. Battlefield did not have to take the past while at basic, at Airmen's week they will take a mock one just to get a rough idea of your times but they take their official past once they get to tech school the first day their training starts.
I was a battlefield airman and it's honestly no different. On Tuesday you go to your battlefield meeting with a mentor Mr. Fahe he was cct. You'll listen ask questions he'll talk you up a little bit then you'll head to chow. Saturdays all special forces except for EOD will go to the pool and do swim work outs for an hour. And you'll do 1X3s it's just pull ups, sit ups, and push-ups 3 times a day. It's basically the same as anyone else the difference was very minimal for my battlefield flight and my brother flight.
Went through a month ago and he is spot on. You don't have to do extra workouts but you are allowed too. If you don't though that's stupid on your part. We had 1 battlefield flight out of 16 and we had 8 battlefield airman in my flight alone and a few in brother flight. They have BA sessions for you guys but they are basically meetings. They don't train you hard at basic so don't expect to be as fit after basic as before if you already are fit. You'll actually get weaker because at basic they don't want you getting hurt.
Just graduated. The BA in my Week Group did not swim. The BA's are just like regular trainees. However the MTIs for the BA flights at the 331st are hand picked. During PT the MTIs hand them off to the Cadre(Typcially are AD PJs CCT/TACP). BAs PT is harder, that's pretty much it. Good luck to anyone going through the pipeline it's a BEAST.
As a USAF veteran who did basic in the 3708 training squadron, Flight 193, DOE 2/12/1974, I can tell you basic if a LOT harder now. We did six weeks no combat training, ran confidence course ONE time. A smoke session was smoking cigarettes, which we got as a flight because we marched together without falling down! We were known as the "smoke break flight"by the other flights. I want to sincerely thank you all for your service to our Country. Looks to be vastly improved training from what we did. I was AFSC 20650, Imagery interpretation specialist. Did math with a slide rule, no calculators allowed. They cost $200 each then. Peace to you all.
thank you sir, I really appreciate this video. I'm hoping to get a SOWT slot, but still waiting since May. You have been a huge motivation for me, thank you, Sir!
Something that recently changed was they have BA prep now, which is 8 straight weeks of training and prepping for selections. Since, they started this program the pass rate has gone up so much people in BA prep are actually waiting to get into selections. Best of luck to all the Battlefield Airman Candidates!
"Special Forces" refers to US Army Green Berets: it's their proper title and they are understandably zealous about that. It's like calling a CCT a "SEAL": just because the former has combat diver, HALO, etc. and are 'sea, air and land' doesn't make them Navy SEALs.
MrMusic1227 good luck with that trying to find any CCT or PJ is hard enough because they are in very specific areas on bases and those places don't welcome regular joes with open arms if they don't have any business there. Plus the biggest obstacle he would have is even getting one of those guys to acknowledge you even exist they tend to keep to themselves and don't talk to regular joes unless they have too. My friend is an army aviator who worked with them allot and he told me those guys only hang out with other special operators that's it. Unless Gott knows one it'll be pretty hard.
hey i was wondering if you do not enlist as a battlefield airman and youre in a regular flight at BMT will you have a chance at taking the PAST test still in the middle of or at the end of BMT? My recruiter told me that the option was available while he was at BMT but does not know for sure if it still is. My leave date is in 8 days on the 17th and there is no PAST by that time. Thank you!
@@anon9640 Special Forces is a specific job within the Army MOS catalog. Special operations forces consists of every other specialized job within the military. This includes, but is not limited to, Special Forces, Navy SEALs, CCT, TACP, Marine Recon, Para-rescue, and so on. In short, all Special Forces are special operations, but not all special operations forces are Special Forces. Confusing, I know. But there is a distinct difference.
Correction, battlefield airmen are always put with other airmen they don't have their own specific flights. However battlefield airmen are only put in the 320 TRS... other airmen are also in that squadron and each flight has a mix of battlefield/non-battlefield. I just left bmt from the 320 TRS and that's how I know.
Well now you don't actually get to swim, instead of doing regular strength days you go with the battle field cadres and do a workout with them every other day.
that's what I was wondering. Really there are a total of only NINE basic training locations ( among the five breaches) four for the army, two for the marines and one each for the navy, air force and coast guard if the enemy really wanted to strike any ( or all) of those bases all they would really need to know is where they are because training day or not there are GOING to be trainees ( and other service members there any now, so I do not get what the deal is with posting ship dates. In terms of security for OTHER people. Now, if someone was looking to harm a PARTICULAR trainee I may can see that from a PERSONAL safety standpoint. However, that applies whether the person is shipping out or not that applies to even posting on social media going out to eat at a particular local restaurant.
Hey I was wondering if you could answer my question because I don't really want to ask only a recruiter because I feel like they might lie to me. Say you enlist to become a SERE specialist and go to selection and don't make the cut which is about 50% of the people who attempt it. What job from there would u go into or what really happens to you in the military?
If you are going into ROTC in college, would you go to BMT after college and do you have to be an officer if you do ROTC? Also, if you had the opportunity to go back, would you have rather done ROTC in college?
Sara R. In response to the other comment, you also have your own training called OTS. This trains you to become an officer, whereas BMT is for enlisted personnel only.
I don't think ROTC does OTS. I'm about 98% sure they just do 4 years of ROTC, and on their 3rd year, they go to field training for a few weeks, then back to ROTC.
I will refer you to a ex PJ Cadre, who helps out civilians who want to become a PJ. Mike Maroney you can comment on one of his newest videos and he will give you his email so you can contact him. Good Luck
it's literally the same for everyone, battlefield airman only get told to do more reps in their PT, and have battlefield airmen mentor sessions, and swim sessions. I was in a battlefield airman flight. SF's are just that, lol, they stay back with the BA, at lackland for their tech school.
Future Delta Operative No Problem TACP are Special Operations, just not all TACPs become one. The 17th STS are Special Operation. TACPs can deploy with Army SF, Rangers, and SEALs. Just don't want anyone getting wrong information on what I think to believe is the greatest career the Military has to offer.
Luke USAF As far as I know, you only do it once, now. I'm going in for TACP in January or February, and my recruiter and my liaison at meps both told me PAST is a 1 time deal now. They could be wrong, so take what I said with a grain of salt.
shaun castor Going in for TACP in February too, I spoke with other TACPs and they said I was going to need to do it again after BMT. Guess things have changed
Except about the extra chow. When I went through as an EOD candidate (washed out unfortunately) we were allowed basically as much food as we wanted. The few times I had to eat at other squadrons it was like "what do you mean I dont get extra perogis?"
I think I got all of them www.airforce.com/careers/detail/pararescue www.airforce.com/careers/detail/combat-control www.airforce.com/careers/detail/tactical-air-control-party-specialist-tacp www.airforce.com/careers/detail/special-operations-weather-team-specialist-males-only/ www.airforce.com/careers/detail/explosive-ordnance-disposal-eod www.airforce.com/careers/detail/survival-evasion-resistance-and-escape-sere
No there's really not much of a difference at all. Cct and pj trainees go to swim on Saturdays. Sere doesn't swim. Pjs have their own flight, battle field Airman are In The same squadron not necessarily the same flight. We had enough ba to make a whole flight but they were like spread out through brother flight and cousin flight we had a bunch of other different career fields mixed In our flight. Battle field Airman are required to do 1 x3s atleast 3 times a day but other then that nothing really.
AFSPECWAR guys also get attached to SEAL platoons; that doesn't make them SEALS...they may be attached to an Aussie or Brit SAS squadron too; that doesn't make them SAS, etc. etc. Being attached to an Army Special Forces unit doesn't make you Army SF.
please start to think about what what you are glorifying and stand down. you have a good voice and great people skills, you dont need to support corrupt military to make it on social media.
Nick Cicone. Yeppers - it sure does. Special Forces is Green Beret and maybe Airborne Rangers. Special operations is Air Force and Navy - not sure about Navy.
@@johnblair765 No, Rangers arw special operations, special forces are only people who have passed the Armies "Q" course and qualified, those people go on to become Green berets, Delta, the cool stuff However SEAL team 6, or DEVGRU is also considered tp be special forces, but not regular SEALs, they are special operations
MIchael Trefethen that’s just full of inaccurate information. Let me educate you. Special operations is ran by each branches special operations command & overseen by USSOCOM. Army is USASOC, Marines is MARSOC, airforce is AFSOC and the navies NAVSPECWARCOM. I’ll list all the SPECIAL OPERATIONS units each command has control over. Army: Special Forces (green berets), 75th Ranger Reg, 160th SOAR, 4th & 8th PSY OPS, sustainment brigade, civil affairs. Marines: marine raiders, MIB AirForce: CCT, PJ, SOWT, TACP, numerous aircraft based air support & supply wings. Navy: EOD, SEALs, SDVT, SWCC’s. Now each of those commands has units that are other JSOC, think of JSOC as an completely separate entity that is comprised of the best of the best all the other commands have to offer. JSOC: 1st SFOD-D (delta force) DEVGRU (SEAL team 6), 24th Special tactics squadron (CCT’s, PJ’s, etc, that are skilled enough to go along with delta or team 6), ISA, JSU, 75th Ranger RRC. There is only one SPECIAL FORCES and that is the green berets. SPECIALS FORCE are SPECIAL OPERATIONS... but SPECIAL OPERATIONS are NOT SPECIAL FORCES. you’re welcome in advance.
I don't know how I got here, but can guys on you tube please stop making videos about "special forces" "special operations" or "Battlefield Airmen" unless you are speaking from experience actually graduating one of those programs ? By graduate I mean you hold that AFSC or MOS. Im cringing on these videos saying "special forces" for Air Force AFSCs , Its Battlefield Airmen or Special Tactics for the Air Force ( PJ, CCT, SOWT, TACP )

Air Force has Special Operations, not Special Forces. SF are Army 'Green Berets'.
Hey I was wondering if you could answer my question because I don't really want to ask only a recruiter because I feel like they might lie to me.
Say you enlist to become a SERE specialist and go to selection and don't make the cut which is about 50% of the people who attempt it. What job from there would u go into or what really happens to you in the military?
you get reclassified to a job that the Air Force needs.
Would security forces fall under this category?
Alexzander Larrison No they don't
Not special forces...spec ops and there are only PJ flights. TACP CCT SOWT AND SERE are split up and put in with regular Air Force AFSC's

No, BMT is for enlisted only. To be in ROTC you just have to be a college student, after your four years you can/will commission as an officer.

Bf airman wear a blue armband therefore 'Tis will hold them to a high standard
How do you becom a pj
Marco Popovich Google.
I will refer you to a ex PJ Cadre, who helps out civilians who want to become a PJ. Mike Maroney you can comment on one of his newest videos and he will give you his email so you can contact him. Good Luck
Is BMT different for Airmen joining security Forces?
Zachary Thomas nope, it's the same
nope
You get yelled at more when you mess up EC procedures.
Zachary Thomas no it's the same
it's literally the same for everyone, battlefield airman only get told to do more reps in their PT, and have battlefield airmen mentor sessions, and swim sessions. I was in a battlefield airman flight.
SF's are just that, lol, they stay back with the BA, at lackland for their tech school.
What is the difference between Special Operations and Battlefield Airman?
darkdancerman Nothing Battlefield airmen (CCT, PJ, Combat Weathermen) are all apart of SOF. The only ones who arent are TACP
Future Delta Operative TACP are under SOF
Luke USAF Oh my mistake I thought they were just SOC along with Recon
Future Delta Operative No Problem TACP are Special Operations, just not all TACPs become one. The 17th STS are Special Operation. TACPs can deploy with Army SF, Rangers, and SEALs. Just don't want anyone getting wrong information on what I think to believe is the greatest career the Military has to offer.
3x3s and swimming
PAST test is no longer required a second time.
I was recently told you still have to do it before you go to Indoc
Luke USAF As far as I know, you only do it once, now. I'm going in for TACP in January or February, and my recruiter and my liaison at meps both told me PAST is a 1 time deal now. They could be wrong, so take what I said with a grain of salt.
You do have to pass it again before indoc
Daren M Well if you can do it thr first time, I guess the second one shouldn't matter lol
shaun castor Going in for TACP in February too, I spoke with other TACPs and they said I was going to need to do it again after BMT. Guess things have changed
+Kyle Gott AirBoi!
There are no Special Forces on the USAF. Get your terminology correct.
Says you?
+Anthony Navia "special forces" refers to the US army green berets. They are the only unit known as special forces or SF.
+Anthony Navia special operations would be the appropriate term
Short hair > Long hair
Battlefield get extra steak and potatoes at chow. We had to stand in the gas chamber longer. We weren't allowed to use toilet paper.
what do you do with no toilet paper?
he's lying, none of that is true lol
Except about the extra chow. When I went through as an EOD candidate (washed out unfortunately) we were allowed basically as much food as we wanted. The few times I had to eat at other squadrons it was like "what do you mean I dont get extra perogis?"

DwP820 (L004) you forgot SERE
ew. basic training for the holidays wouldn't be fun
No there's really not much of a difference at all. Cct and pj trainees go to swim on Saturdays. Sere doesn't swim. Pjs have their own flight, battle field Airman are In The same squadron not necessarily the same flight. We had enough ba to make a whole flight but they were like spread out through brother flight and cousin flight we had a bunch of other different career fields mixed In our flight. Battle field Airman are required to do 1 x3s atleast 3 times a day but other then that nothing really.
Totally false now.
Cheese Miester how is it run now?
Anyone ship January 3rd?

Your yard can't be more Air Forced than that, lol
Sorry Kyle, but bullllshiiiiiit.
“Special forces” smh
AFSPECWAR guys also get attached to SEAL platoons; that doesn't make them SEALS...they may be attached to an Aussie or Brit SAS squadron too; that doesn't make them SAS, etc. etc.
Being attached to an Army Special Forces unit doesn't make you Army SF.
@@LibertysetsquareJack you definitely didn’t understand the point of the comment
@@andrewgreen626 look at the first reply to your post Copernicus.
@@LibertysetsquareJack my b lmao I’m pretty drunk
@@andrewgreen626 lol in that case...party on ;)
please start to think about what what you are glorifying and stand down.
you have a good voice and great people skills, you dont need to support corrupt military to make it on social media.
Air Force Special Forces...... *disregards everything this dude says
Nick Cicone. Yeppers - it sure does. Special Forces is Green Beret and maybe Airborne Rangers. Special operations is Air Force and Navy - not sure about Navy.
@@johnblair765 No, Rangers arw special operations, special forces are only people who have passed the Armies "Q" course and qualified, those people go on to become Green berets, Delta, the cool stuff
However SEAL team 6, or DEVGRU is also considered tp be special forces, but not regular SEALs, they are special operations
MIchael Trefethen that’s just full of inaccurate information. Let me educate you.
Special operations is ran by each branches special operations command & overseen by USSOCOM.
Army is USASOC, Marines is MARSOC, airforce is AFSOC and the navies NAVSPECWARCOM.
I’ll list all the SPECIAL OPERATIONS units each command has control over.
Army: Special Forces (green berets), 75th Ranger Reg, 160th SOAR, 4th & 8th PSY OPS, sustainment brigade, civil affairs.
Marines: marine raiders, MIB
AirForce: CCT, PJ, SOWT, TACP, numerous aircraft based air support & supply wings.
Navy: EOD, SEALs, SDVT, SWCC’s.
Now each of those commands has units that are other JSOC, think of JSOC as an completely separate entity that is comprised of the best of the best all the other commands have to offer.
JSOC: 1st SFOD-D (delta force) DEVGRU (SEAL team 6), 24th Special tactics squadron (CCT’s, PJ’s, etc, that are skilled enough to go along with delta or team 6), ISA, JSU, 75th Ranger RRC.
There is only one SPECIAL FORCES and that is the green berets. SPECIALS FORCE are SPECIAL OPERATIONS... but SPECIAL OPERATIONS are NOT SPECIAL FORCES.
you’re welcome in advance.
I don't know how I got here, but can guys on you tube please stop making videos about "special forces" "special operations" or "Battlefield Airmen" unless you are speaking from experience actually graduating one of those programs ? By graduate I mean you hold that AFSC or MOS. Im cringing on these videos saying "special forces" for Air Force AFSCs , Its Battlefield Airmen or Special Tactics for the Air Force ( PJ, CCT, SOWT, TACP )
Anyone who graduates from one of these programs isn't going to talk about it. Just common sense.
