11 days till basic..

[ash7]

I'm shipping to Air Force basic training in less than two weeks...

I've been waiting 9 months for this day.. I'm all gung-ho for it, but now that the clock is ticking down, I can't lie that I'm not nervous!

Anyone else been there and done that? Any words of advice?

Keep your chin up at all times, even if you get punished. And don't jack up the serial numbers on your "money list" (you'll see what i mean when you get there).

AF basic is not a physical exercise, it's a mental game. I went through Lackland three weeks after returning from soccer camp - left 6 weeks later in worse physical condition than i arrived. They will break you mentally, but it's only for your own good.

Do not volunteer for anything, especially "Guide On" duty. (guy who carries the flight's banner)
