bwahahahahahaha.....I'm sorry but I gotta do that.
Not knocking you Tony, but I'm still gonna call it the "chair force"
from all the pics you took and shared, AF Basic training is still VERY posh and comfortable.
my reasoning....
-you qualified/fired under a shaded cover.
-You had internet during basic, most likely phone privileges too
-they call it the "beast" but look at your FOB, you had yellow metal gates protecting it
-You have single beds, not even bunks
-you are covered from head to toe in chem suit, so you never even felt the effects of CS on your skin
Before everyone is so quick to jump and ask dumb questions and try and belittle me....
yes I am in the Army.
Yes, I have been in more than one day.
I actually leave for Afghanistan in 22 days.
my MP re-class was probably harder than AF Basic.
SERE is a school, not anything life endangering . It def does suck. Army, Navy, Marines goto the same course at Ft Bragg which was just about 3 1/2 weeks. Once you pass the course, you are never to speak of what you endured or what the school/course consisted of. If you want a wake up call on what truly sucks in life, then give this one a shot...
PJ's and CCT's do not put their life consistently on the line. No special operations do...they train, and have plenty of intel, much more that a conventional unit, and then they train, train, train. For all special operation units, it is not their goal to go in and fight, but rather do their mission and get in and out without too large of a footprint, minus tactical demolitions
Tony. Congrats man. Not trying to knock you at all. Glad you wanted to serve your country.
btw, in the one pic you said you were at "attention"? you had your arms behind your back it looks like? bc all other services consider that "parade rest" or "at ease" just wondering....
