It was an.. unforgettable experience to say the least. I'm not back in Georgia yet, I am still in San Antonio until my training is done in May. People like to joke and call it the Chair Force but trust me a lot of things have changed over the years and the Air Force takes its mission very seriously, its an honor to be a part of such a great organization and work along side the other military branches.
I'd like to start working on my G35 but finishing college and Pilot and/or Nav school is top priority for now. Any questions about the Air Force training I can pretty much answer.. I cant tell absolutely everything but I can clear up a lot of the myths. Air Force basic training isn't as physically strenuous as the other branches may be but where it gets tough is the mental aspect of things. We have other branches on this base and I wont say anything bad about the others, I'll just say I made the right choice.
Me and my dad (he's a veteran, kind of nostalgic since my job is the same as his)
My favorite picture from the weekend, my son while we were at the position of attention during graduation.
I have pictures of our actual training but I'll have to post those up later when I have more time. (No I didnt take them, whenever we did something tactical we were filmed) I did go to the range with the M16 and M9, did the whole simulated deployment thing, tactical movements, etc etc. Anyway, I'll add more to this later.. gotta be up in 4 hours.
