Hello from Air Force Basic Training...

**tony** · 02-22-2009, 07:28 PM

One word.. crazy, but manageable. For anyone considering the military, its not for everyone but definitely for me. I'm 5 weeks in now with 3 weeks to go and I couldn't imagine the Marines or Army basic training cause I KNOW it is worse than this. Briefly, anything good going on in the world since January? I dont know jack shit about whats going on in the world right now.

**redrumracer** · 02-22-2009, 07:32 PM

Don"t really think there is too much going on(havent been paying attn). Are you doing the Blue 21 Initiative? I thought that was for the CG.

Edit: other than that new stimulus package that came along.

**Vteckidd** · 02-22-2009, 07:33 PM

I'm doing the AF Reserves till I finish college, then I'll be applying. I took the Air Force Officers test before I left though and scored a 92 on the Pilot portion.. so I'm going to put a package together and see if a Reserve or Guard unit will pick me up.

Base liberty, its called being a part of a flight that kicks ass and get rewarded.

**Friggintitsman** · 02-24-2009, 09:02 PM

Air force? lol

No really I wished I went into the AF all those years ago, but went army instead. I like the army schools better anyway. Airborne FTW

**BanginJimmy** · 02-24-2009, 09:24 PM

you have the use of the internet during basic, it obviously isnt that hard.

**Friggintitsman** · 02-24-2009, 09:26 PM

lol

**Pickleteg** · 02-24-2009, 09:32 PM

Damn...Internets in Basic Training.....we never saw that in the Army LOL. WOW!

**DunDunSkeert** · 02-24-2009, 09:44 PM

I'm 95% that I'll be going into the airforce when I graduate. I'm not worried about basic. Do you have any advise for me?

briefly....your boy and his buddies are fucking everything up.

on the serious side THANK YOU, sincerely, THANK YOU, for your service! You have my respect, no matter who you voted for

I could go into a long spill about this but trust that the Air Force of NOW is nothing like the Air Force of old. I'll admit even I had a bad perception of the Air Force but trust me there are Airmen here that get the highest respect from every branch, Marines included.

As for our basic training, the liberties my flight has received is not the norm. Other flights go through basic with barely 2 phone calls, we're on maybe our 5th base lib. But at the same time when our flight goes out to compete nobody touches us, we went up against 2 flights from other squadrons this week and crushed them. Our training instructor puts us through hell but as long as we perform we are rewarded.. please don't mistake that for "AF Basic is EASY" it is earned. Trust me.

Advise, #1 is Discipline. If you have it basic will be a breeze for you. And get physically in shape, PT is no joke and its 6 days a week. Get used to no sleep, the Air Force has pushed BMT to an 8 week program that centers on being prepared for Deployment. On monday we'll be leaving for BEAST week which is everything you train for, I'll be able to give you feedback on that when I get back.

**phoenixx1** · 02-28-2009, 05:09 PM

what dorm and unit?

**MachNU** · 02-28-2009, 05:38 PM

Good to hear from you Tony, if you dont mind, give me some updates and such from the stuff i talked to you about in PM's before you went to basic!

**ranger250x** · 02-28-2009, 08:47 PM

Since when are you allowed to have internet in Boot Camp? If they do, it really would finish the job of pussifying the Corps.

**unkn0wndj** · 03-02-2009, 10:22 AM

I'm glad you're liking it! Lackland wasn't my favorite place mainly due to my flight. Base libs? Yeah rightttttt.
