"I busted my ass getting a 4.0 GPA and extracurriculars for this?"
TO EVERYONE: This isn't even their form of basic. It's just the first day. The final day of the equivalent "basic" training USAFA cadets have to go through is rough. Not only that, but all these cadets are undergoing some of the most challenging academics in the nation Most people make it through basic easy, but try making it through an Academy. Give respects to anyone who serves, no matter what their branch or rank, because they have all sacrificed in some way for YOU
"Am I a sir or a mam?"
"Sir, you are a mam sir!"
yes sir, no sir, sir i do not know, sir i do not understand, sir my i ask a question, sir may i make a statement, no excuse sir. - 7 basic responses. Still got it boys ;)
Some academies have even shorter answers; "Yes sir," "No sir," and "No excuse, sir." Obviously I left out the sir sandwich for ease of reading! :)
New Guy: Understood Sir or Ma'am.
*WHAAAT Am I a Sir or a Ma'am! everyone starts yelling at new guy*
Wait a few years... And military persons will have to report name, rank, number and pronouns...
Until 1947 they were US Army Air Forces. The United States lost over 50,000 in the skies during WWII. There were multiple MOH awards for the Ploesti raid by the 15th AF when these men went down in flaming coffins trying to gain enough altitude to save their crewmen. I would not make fun of the USAF.
And those who do make fun stop making fun when they get saved by the USAF.
Hahah whistle blows "lucky you."
I am in the Navy and basic training and officers training is no joke. I walked in basic training with a smile on my face and I stopped smiling after the drill instructors were screaming in my face 15 seconds later.
I completely felt myself like the worst idiot of the world on my first day in the airforce of S.Korea, haha. Hope all of them have successfully graduated from USAFA. Good luck!!!
I sincerely appreciate your grandfather for protecting our country during the Korean war. We Korean owe it to your grandfather to live in peace now. He is a hero! May his soul rest in peace.
For some reason I love watching TI's or other drill instructors yell at other people. It's just so much fun to watch. Amiright?!
I wanted to thank those on here in service and others for the many informative posts. We are so worried about our son. Our love knows no bounds for him and we are sooo proud of him for wanting to serve his country. We miss him terribly and write him daily. He calls whenever he can but it's not the same. Any parents on here know what I'm talking about. This is the hardest thing we've had to go through since becoming parents. God bless you Michael...wherever you are:)
lucky you
this guy said yes sir or maim holy shit lol
+Emilio “Medjai” Gomez what if he said "yes sir or ma'am basic cadet your last name reports as ordered" 😂😂
"Shes a mam so you can you can use mam when explaining the responses to her" XD
Respect all the branches for their sacrifice and service.
The louder you shout, the happier the Instructors will be.
The officer giving the speech, is a great orator.
I will give her 7 basic reponses all night long.
MrAwsomeshot oh my lord yes
Good to see they get treated as hard as Active Basic Military Trainees in the Air Force.
During BMT, one of the cadets decided to play the role of TI with one of the trainees. The trainee did nothing wrong and he was told to get up and leave after 1 minute to eat. This was around 4th or 5th week. When the TI found out about this he went on the speakers and called out the cadets name with the title "trainee" preceding it. He was put into his place when he got upstairs. Some cadets are cool and some are not.
They do that to test you mentally, to see how well you do under pressure. Trust me, I went through Air Force BMT and had a group of MTIs yelling at me at the same time on my first week.
To all you hating on the Air Force and the Academy, these cadets train for a different purpose here. They are being trained at a higher caliber than any of the enlisted force because they will have to lead as soon as they graduate. As for the Air Force, I'm enlisted and all those BMT videos here are nothing compared to what you will actually experience, plus in todays world we deploy with everybody... joint mission and goal
they do it because those cadets are nearly graduated and commissioned, so theyre preparing them by giving them a role of leadership and putting them in charge of subordinates.. its equal parts training for those new cadets and those senior cadets
its sweet of them to be speaking with indoor voices... outside. during processing...
The shouting is to see if they can function under stress. In the military, they yell because when someone is yelling in your face, you feel pressured and under stress, and you still need to be able to act normally under that kind of stress. If you were in a war, you don't want your soldiers freezing up because they are panicking.
That was intensity... They had cute sunglasses and white gloves.... Hardcore. ... And they was in your face.. WOW
I love this. Great training. I especially liked the last guy reporting to the Maam. Its confusing the first day.
I love it whistle blows and the instructor goes "lucky you "
They're military colleges. Just Google West Point or one of the other academies to learn more. Look up the Naval Academy. They train Marine officers. You may like the info.
I have so much respect for anyone in any military branch. I did boot camp and I got yelled at like crazy, I didn't fuck up to much, they woop you into shape.
Right. That's why the Marines are the most versatile part of the military. You can train them quickly to do anything.
Look how nice these guys are ...
"Am I a ma'am or a sir" I can kind of see where he'd get confused. LOL
"OBSERVE MY CADRE"
best part. he has magnificent cadre.
dude. same here. i graduated 09 from high school and throughout high school i always hated the military and never saw my self joining. College was cool but i felt it just wasnt for me. 3 years later and im shipping out to BMT in about 2 weeks. lol how ironic life is. i love being around the comfort of family and friends but i can honestly say im off to do bigger things now haha.
This is pretty bad ass. The academy is in an amazing location in Colorado.
@pilate10 The Academy is one of five armed forces service academies in the USA. The short version is, it's Air Force college.
@panthersfb92 I always like to say, "If you keep a level head, you'll be a level ahead." This means to stay cool in situations. Don't let anything panic you. Make a quick decision, but don't make it out of fear. Sometimes the decision he'll have to make won't have a right response, so just make a decision, and stick with it. don't second guess yourself during your actions. learn from mistakes, but don't dwell on them. and remember, it's a team, so do your best to help the team
I got to go to USAFA for a DVP Program visitation. I was a little surprised by the amount of cadets that that never did JROTC in high school or only had 1 year of it.
I joined AFJROTC at my school too. it is the best thing that has ever happened to me
these guys in uniform are just the air force academy cadet
@Capcoor 1) Yes, sir/ma'am 2) No, sir/ma'am 3) no excuse, sir/ma'am 4) sir/ma'am, may I ask a question? 5) sir/ma'am, may I make a statement? 6) sir/ma'am, I do not understand 7) sir/ma'am I do not know
Learned this when I was in AFROTC. It may sound hard, but it's simple really.
i cracked up laughing wen he said "the long blue line" and the camera centered in on the words "grey line" on the bus
but on a more serious note, i really really hope i get to go here. the challenge looks tough, its 100X tougher then it looks, but i want to be ready for it. busting my ass with all honors and A's in almost all of them
it's part of the training to teach people how to respond to stress.
I'm enlisted and that makes sense to me. It's hard to get into the academy, but if you go to college (which most people, besides me, do) then you can take ROTC and then go to OTS instead of BMT.
My son is on a six year enlistment and about to enter his 6th. week at BMT which is called The B.E.A.S.T. I've been doing TONS of research online to understand what he's going through. As I type this, he's battling an upper resp. infect. and we are hoping and praying he'll be able to survive next week and be able to graduate.
Remember they are going to become Commissioned Officers, not enlisted airman.
@minigarth If you look at her insignia, you'll see that she was the vice wing commander, who is the 2nd highest cadet. You don't get that rank for kicks, you know. :x
@gespilk He was a Major, this is a huge difference! That and he was literally crazy, and at his position, he doesn't get yelled at. Don't talk about things you don't understand.
@covermewithaleaf33 Everyone gets nervous, but it's how you deal with that nervousness that determines whether you excel or not. They really are trying to make you a better cadet and have your best interest at heart, never forget that. I can't wait to get started!
"am i a sir or am i a mam?"
"good question"
Air Force will yell at you half-heartedly... The Marines will tear your ass up. Big difference.
I cant FRICKEN WAIT! JUNE 27 BABY!
He's all like "lucky you" at the end lol
bus driver is probably like "damn, guess i'll just be going back home"
this is like a walk in the park compared to the marines
haha Sick. I stayed with Mike during my Appointee Orientation back when he was a freshman. :D
It's worked hundreds of years for warriors....Spartans, Roman Legions, Barbarians, they did quite a bit of yelling.
Hahahahah I like that guy at the end that is explaining and then is like "LUCKY YOU!"
That kid deserves it though he was in an article in a local paper talking about how easy he thought it would be just because he was in Civil Air Patrol and was involved in emergency responses and he was bragging about the Academy being a small step in the path to becoming the first man to land on Mars. Naturally, the article was forwarded throughout the entire cadet wing so all of the cadre knew who this kid was and what he had said.
@fatcatboy go to the airforce website they will give you a list of requirements to help you get it. My brother is at the Academy right now and thats how he did or you could talk to the high school counselor if your still in highschool
i graduated from the academy and flew on a c-5 galaxy out of travis air force base in fairfield california.
It's not easy at all when your kid is "kept" from you. We understand that this is going to be a VERY good experience for him and that his future is pretty solid, but it is still so hard when your child is "kept" from you for this long. We can't wait to see him at graduation next month and pray that he makes it!! Go Michael!!! :D Ok...I know, I'm pathetic, but that's just cause I'm a mom missing her only son. I'll shut up now;)
people say that all the time. but when it really happens they dont
my brother just left to go there i am going to miss him so much
LOLOL
"THE ANSWER IS YES SIR OR MA'AM"
"AM I A SIR OR A MA'AM?!?"
-other guy interrupting- "She's a ma'am."
@PilotPicker Aye bro you have no idea how much this actually helped out! My dream was to fly the F-14. Sadly shes done her time with the Air force. So now my wish is to fly the F-15. Yea the 22's and 16's are way out of my league. But again man thanks alot! And best of luck for you in the future bro! Kinda wish i could see you fly, seem pretty cool:)
dude says "how am I supposed to respond"
hahahaha
Enlisted force is the backbone!
The last five seconds were priceless.
Hey look, they're renovating Vandy. they'll never get the smell of basic out though.
@tankgirl21 You know what you're right. I mean that must be why almost every college in the nation requires you to take the ACT/SAT and if you don't make the requirement they won't let you in. And if tests don't gauge your knoweledge, what does?
im sorry but if a girl started yelling at me like that theres no way i couldnt stop myself from laughing...
ROTC here. Glad I didn't go to the academy.
Oh man...it happens alot more than you would think
If any of these kids tried to yell at me I would laugh my ass off.
“Lucky you” lol
who let the dogs out man? haha as soon as he says "fallout and make corrections" they just start barking at them hahaha
The guy at the end is like "lucky you, pretty boy." How did you get into my academy without being able to distingush a man from a woman.
that is sooo cute! love it! *glitters* *sugar* and *spice* and everything nice!
awesome...I get to be standing on those footprints June 23rd =)
@Imagunnut He was supposed to say "Ma'am, the answer is:", so it does matter
Yeah, according to some USAFA cadets I know, he left yesterday...got kicked out for academics. He's planning on doing AFROTC.
I've been to the Israeli army for 6 years, and this kind of drills amuses me.
Sure, you do have those kind of drills in the IDF, but you get to the practical side of military combat pretty fast (including real combat missions)
if you think thats stress go check out a usmc bootcamp video, youll change your entire perspective on stress,
give him a mustache, and he'll look just like Goose
Imagine disrespecting people that are supposed to guard your nation. It's better to reward them with right to loot.
Dang that guy seemed confused calling that lady sir. Lol.
Because you would know what is authorized and what is not.
@mrchambersthegreat at the academy they use the more senior cadets to welcome the new cadets like this... at basic training they are actually permanent party members that are the instructors... there is no way they would let a trainee at basic training bring in the new recruits
Can't wait. I'm c/o USAFA 2015! 1 month till we start this :D
I'm shipping off for Air Force BMTon December 4th. It's awhile, but im finally about to start a new life. I was hesitant on joining throughout high school, but finally decided and now im stoked. I have vids with advice and tips for joining.
Typical...the confusion between Ma'am or Sir, just epic!
"YES SIR...OR MA'AM" lol
@cathrynnalapedro that's pretty much how it works. I think you have to actually serve 6. It may be 4
@HockeydudeAC14 this is the first day of college, not any attempt at 'real boot camp'
lmfao at the end "lucky you"
wow they shud have enlisted t.i.s train them these guys are nice...i remember stuttering to shit my first night at basic...i still remember the spit on my face gettin a new one ripped also
I am looking forward to it.
lol, if only the entrance to BMT was this pleasant.
