Completed AF Basic Training

[tron]

Its not a matter of how far you run, but you have to continuously run for 35 minutes+ without stopping or you WILL be sorry. For the evaluation you have to run a mile and a half in under 11:47 but shoot for less than 9:30.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays you will run. Tuesdays thursdays and Saturdays you will do pushups, situps, and it is tough.

Pushups, over 60 in a minute but situps is what fails people believe it or not.. more than 55 in 1 minute. I did 80 pushups, 62 situps and a run time of 10:58.

As for avionics, 6 months of training.

50 to pass, but you dont want to just pass. Aim for 65 pushups, 70 situps and under 9:30 run.

yea i know. i was gonna do spec ops since i qualified for SERE, PJ, and CCT. so i've been training for that but now i think im gonna do avionics then spec ops. what do you think?

Chubbie: My AFSC is 2T2X1, Air Transportation. My recruiter lied to me.. seriously I thought I was going to be a loadmaster.

SERE and PJ's are right across the way from my training squadron.. those guys are serious, theres like a 78% fail rate over there. I forget what the physical qualifications are but you definitely have to be toward the top of your class. I'd say it depends on who you are, understand the risk of SERE, PJ and CCT.. it takes a special kind of person that is dedicated and basically ready to put your life on the line on a consistent basis.

If thats not you, go avionics. I have a son and soon a family, I'm actually considering an application to a special ops unit as a Nav but I dont know if I can deal with the Ops Tempo, my family is a priority to me. Its all about what you want out of life.

this i know sir and i have accepted it and right now i turn 19 in couple days and its not like i plan to settle down anytime soon but the fact that im going in straight out of high school and so young is why im doing avionics 1st then make my decision on spec ops later
thanks for you advice man!
