Zach Ringo Not having your own room, living in the barracks four up to four years (some people’s entire contract), having to spend money on hair cuts every week, and can’t even leave base by yourself on base liberty to name a few.
Good video fellas! For a lot of people commenting on the liberty policies and whatnot - Remember that they're talking about being stationed in Japan here, not stateside. The rules in Japan are much more strict than, say, Pendleton.
I love this. My Grandson is making a decision to join one of these branches. I'm forwarding this to him. Dude...I'm a 20 year retired Air Force veteran. I have work around Cherry Point Marines when they flew in during an exercise mission. The had to come over to our tool crib and scrounge parts from us to fix their planes, because of poor funding. Air Force is where the money is. My Air Force drill instructor was an Ex-Marine. He told us, 'When I was in Vietnam in a muddy foxhole and saw the Zoomies living in air conditioned barrack, I said to my self. What the heck am I doing?' Nuff said.
@@Daddyvader7 lemme acks youz sumptin. what branch were you in? did you carry a firearm everywhere every single minute of your on work duty hours. did you pt with one? did you go in the px with one?
My son just shipped on June 5th for Air Force BMT. I'm so glad I came across your videos. You give very good real life advice. I will be recommending your channel to my son. Thank you for the vids. Good job guys!
@@leaundralangston6297 marine vet here, do it if that’s what you truly want. I will say the marine bases are exactly what Nava says, it could be just depressing. But it is what you make of it and you’ll notice that your real friends and boys will be the people you hit the fleet with. Happy to answer any question you have man!
To be fair the quality of life hes referring to is unique to Japan which is arguably the worst in the Marine Corps as far as freedom goes. For the most part, stateside as a fleet Marine is a lot better, there are no restrictions for the most part, as long as you're at your appointed place of duty, you're free to do what you want during your time off. Staff NCOs and Officers do not live in the barracks in the states. At least thats how it is in Miramar. Went UDP to Okinawa and it was not at all the same.
Retired Navy Hospital Corpsman and prior service Air Force Medic and while in the Navy did two tours with Marines Infantry, Artillery and Aviation units (Navy provides Medical, Dental and Religious personal for the Marines and after special training we wore their uniforms with Navy stripes, but not their Dress Blues. Standards have changed since I retired in 1988). Enjoyed my entire time in and proud to say that I wore the uniforms of all three services.
Would be awsome if you can do Airman vs Seaman. I cant decided between the two. I would love yo be a Navy Diver but most of my family was Airman so thats the only info i really get to hear about.
+Christopher Strollo I believe you should go with your hit instinct. However, I will say. You will have a better opportunity to get what career you would like to do.
+Christopher Strollo That's bull. If you want to go for Navy Diver you get a guarantees contract to attempt indoctrination and tech school for that career since it is special forces. However, if you fail out, you may just go to the needs of the Navy. That is literally for every single branch. Now, you will have a better opportunity to land a career PATH that you desire in the navy. In the Air Force you will be aiming for a career Field. A type of career path.
I was talking to a solider in Fort Sam Houston and they told me about this drill Sgt: "This is what we're gonna do. See those big rocks? Move them over here, away from the little rocks." "Done? Switch the big rocks and the little rocks." "Put them all back the way you found them"
I was a grunt, got out did security at a nuclear power plant making 75k while going to school. Passed some tests and now I'm an operator at the plant and made $135,000 last year. My best bud was a grunt he works as a welder in the oil fields and clears 100k every year no schooling. Grunts can get jobs.
Security forces is different than the marines. Way more relaxed and easier. But not as easy as he was making the overal Air Force sound. Wouldn't compare a grunt to security forces lol. We know what's up lol
Don't listen to dylan, of course you will be deployed out at sea for months (You joined the Navy that's what we do) but you will not be out at sea for your entire enlistment. We have sea and shore rotation, new recruits usually always get sea rotation first though.
+Adolf Hitler I'm prepared to be deployed at sea for months. How long have you been in the navy? And bro that's a terrible RUclips name to have especially as you serve the country
I find it hilarious that people who have never served bash on other branches (specifically Marine wannabes who act all tough but wouldn't survive a day at boot camp), an try to tear down the Air Force all together. While these two men, an Airman and a Marine, are two great friends that know what it truly means to have a brotherhood stronger than blood. They're brothers. I will soon have that once I leave Fort Lackland AFB. Call me whatever the fuck you want, but I take pride in joining the Air Force, especially knowing I will be training to become a PJ. Never served? Shut the fuck up. Don't plan on ever serving? Shut the fuck up. Respect all branches. Without one, we have none.
It's also really shitty how Marines get treated. They're treated like children, honestly. They need buddies to leave, they have to be stuck with roommates, all this bullshit. Airmen get treated like the responsible adults we all should be treated like. Notice how when you go to MEPS, you NEVER see Air Force recruiters there. My recruiter told me the reason why, he said "Because we trust you all to be responsible for your own actions. And not to be treated like you're still under your parents roofs." I wish the Marines got the Air Force treatment.
Yeeeeah the difference in the quality of life is hardcore. And it could depend on where you deploy, but Blake's had to qualify for shooting every time before he deploys, as a part of his deployment checklist, and he's in maintenance. So that might be something you'll end up having to do prior to your deployment Kyle. But it could definitely vary, so take this with a grain of salt!
I'm very indecisive on which branch I want to join. Joining the Air Force for me means building a career. The Air Force has jobs that I want but then I think about joining the Marine Corp because I believe it will shape me into a strong woman and discipline me. I just can't seem to make up my mind. I want to get into Infantry and the closest the Air Force has to that would be I believe TACP, Combat Controller, and pararescue?
Lily Demara it really boils down to what kind of job you're interested in. For starters while jobs like TACP, Combat Control and Pararescue would technically be the closest things the Air Force has to infantry it is still nothing alike and furthermore MUCH more difficult to qualify for than standard infantry. Also keep in mind that while all combat jobs are now open to women VERY FEW have managed to complete the Marine Corps School of Infantry and NONE have completed the training for any of those Air Force spec ops jobs. Think about that before you dedicate yourself to go for a job like that. If you are hoping to become a more structured and disciplined person the Marine Corps is definitely the choice and there's no reason you can't make a career our of it, it all depends on your mindset and dedication.
All this Air Force bashing in the comments. I got friends in all branches and NONE of them bash each others respectful branches.... seriously half you kids truly don't know the military if you think all Air Force personnel do is sit on their asses.
I said that to prove a point, there are some here that do nothing but talk shit about the Air Force but if one thng is said about the Marines they can't take it without lashing out. bigzachful have you ever served in the Military? I am a 22 year Pararescue veteran in the AF with the rank of E-8 SMSGT. And the ones i was talking to are the ones that just cant seem to stop bad mouthing the AF that they no nothing about. They must be upset about something because they sure seem to have a big chip on there shoulders about something. I am going to delete that one post because i don't want to offend the great men and women of ALL our armed forces. I was just targeting the ones constantly bashing the AF. This is the last post i am going to write on this matter so feel free to keep disrespecting the AF, i'll let others respond i'm done. I'm proud of the USAF that i served and i'm proud of all the military branches including the Marine Corp.
Read it again!!!!!! I said i am a 22 year Pararescue veteran as i retired after 22 years of service it does not say i am22 years old. I am by the way 52 years old. I enlisted in 1982 and retired April 8, 2004.
Great interview and solid info! The only thing I didn't like was that Gott kept interrupting Nava when he was trying to explain specific answers... hahaha. Just let the man talk.
this is so unfair. Why do they treat hard working marines like cadets on a camp but the Airmen get a good home salary and dont even have to shave that often. Whats the point of joining the marines anyway for hardcore fun?
***** exactly! im not saying no one should join the marines but its not for everyone. My cousin joined the marines in 2013 and after basic training he already wanted to come home because he keeps complaining about how hard and physically challenging it is. I believe the Airforce is the best choice for me. I have my last year in ROTC and i believe the Airforce is the right choice for me and could of been a great career for my cousin because he loves Air-crafts and wanted to become a pilot but sadly he didnt research about the different careers and ops in the military and how it could affect his life
+B.C.H.SBanger The Marines do what the whole point of the military is. To physically defend this nation that people are currently attempting infiltrate and attack our people on the streets. When most Airmen get out. Will they be able to believe they made a difference defending this nation against foreign and or domestic enemies. I don't believe so. Painting airplanes and welding sheet metal is really bad ass.
+caltek2006 The way I see it is the Marines is much more selfless career and the Air Force is a selfish career. Those looking to get an easy ride for the military's great benefits.
"If we had everything we needed we wouldn't be pissed off and ready kill someone all the time. See, the Marine Corp is like Americas little pitbull. They beat us, mistreat us, and occasionally let us out to attack someone."
My dad is a Navy officer that was stationed in Kadena I remember going to japan every summer to visit him. It will be my turn to serve in a few years when I finish ROTC and Kadena would be dope. That is one good thing about marines is that the base location are absolutely beautiful, maybe that has something to do with them being a sea force.
yeah man i thaught the same i was like god damn he is ragging on him. but its just eazy to i guess but he did say playing on his key board. lol im joining the af though got the papers sighned. made the right choice lmao
+NavaTheBeast hey man hope things are great for you! i went over and subbed. i have a work our rutine kinda but I'll check out how i can implement your stuff too it looks really cool!!
how is the pride and brotherhood you see in each branch, like obviously the marines has the whole "once a marine always a marine" and like the "brothers in arms" but what about the air force?
My dad always told me to join the Air Force for the better quality but I’ve always liked camping and hiking so bunking with guys isn’t a problem for me. And the discipline drilled into you by the marines is good for character
I think it's funny how Kyle is all proud of how the Air Force is so chill and laid back but yet all Kyle can do is 40 push ups before he gives up and I'm sure others that are in the Air Force can't do much better than Kyle. It all comes down to if we went to war who would save us. Marines or Air Force. It's sad that each branch has to out do each other when you guys all work for the same government.
Sabrina Conklin Same Oath, Same Government, Same Mission. No need for any separation outside of in a joking manner. I am in the process of enlisting in the Air Fore now & am proud to say that but i have huge respect for any other branch
It just shows marines put their life for the person next to them that's why they are so close I'd rather be having a room buddy then barely knowing people in the Air Force & stick in my room That's why they are elite
+NavaTheBeast that's right brother I plan on enlisting in August just doing everything I can to get physically fit before but mentally is the challenge I'm willing to take
@kylegott, I binge watched a bunch of your videos last night 6/14 and I had wanted to join the Marine corps since I was ten. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into with joining the Marines. While watching last night, I definitely saw the major differences. And because of watching your videos I have made the change to join the Air Force. Sounds super bad on my part because I made TONS of jokes about the "chair force" and much more, yet I still am hyped to join. You may not think it, but you inspired me to want to join. Your videos on the tattoo policy, BMT, ect, and it made me seriously change my thought process.
Kyle I talked to my recruiter Yesterday and it didn't go so good :(. He said I need to gain weight first, that it'd be easier to gain weight through muscle. So my questions to you is, will you please make a video on your supplements, what they do, and how to use them. Also, how to gain weight please!
I have consistent training, good sleep, and I'm trying to figure this out diet thing out. I don't understand how I can eat (a lot) lift and keep the weight or vice versa.
+Optimistic WonTon this is what my coach told me to do. Take a glass of whole milk, and pour two packets of instant non fat dry milk into that. Then put in two tablespoons of nesquick in there. Boom. 800 calories. Then he had me eat fig newtons all the time. Like a box every week.....just an example of some things to do.
When lol? This is disappointing I've been waiting 3 years to join and already got somewhat disqualified :(. I drink 20 oz of milk with a pound of protein.
All he is doing is trying to get Nava to disrespect the Marine Corps... I really respect Nava for staying professional and never once taking shots at any other branch. The Air Force guy on the other hand is constantly, secretly bashing the Marine Corps. That's a great representation of Airmen and Nava is the perfect representation of professionals and respectable Marine.
I had my own room during C School in Pensacola. Now I'm in Iwakuni, Japan and I still have my own room, I just share a common area with another Marine but just wanted to put that out there. Not all bases are that bad about having your privacy, just depends on your assigned Unit.
the more i listen to this, the more i feel for the Marines. the Marines seem to have a much TOUGHER life. seriously, way way tougher than the others. this is so unfair.
Hey Kyle would you do a Q&A with a Special Missions Aviator? I've been really interested in the job and would like hearing tips from a person who's currently doing that job.
Special Mission Aviator afsc:1A9X1 are crew members on HH60s, AC130s etc. Basically, they're spec ops flyers. They're loadmaster, flight engineer, and door gunner combined. So all aircrew go through tech training at lack land, last time I checked they're washout rate was over 75 percent, as if getting a flying afsc was hard enough lol. They're pretty undermanned so I'd say you'd have a decent shot a getting it, although getting a 1A job is diffivult enough (less than 2%) Good luck!! -C130 loadmaster
I'm enlisting in the air force pretty soon and my buddy who just left for boot camp asked me before he left why I won't enlist in the marines, wish I could show him this video about the quality of life
For the record, this Marine is stationed in Japan so the policies are a little more strict than usual. In the states pretty much the same policies. Quality of life in the Marines is just fine
I recently enlisted into the Army Reserve and completed Basic Training at Fort Jackson back in August and am now in AIT at Fort Gordon and I too thought about the same two. Even though I don't know much about Air Force life, I choose the Army because it is the largest branch and your MOS is guaranteed since its large. In the Air Force, I learned since its the third largest the branch might not have openings for your job and would have to look for another. I hope that helps but there is probably are a few good reasons to join the Air Force too.
Have you ever visited Yambal(northern side of Okinawa main land)? It is one of very super natural forest in Japan. If not yet, you should go and check it out. peace
In terms of lifestyle, the army is similar to the marines. I lived in the barracks my entire career. As an NCO, I had my own room, but not until then. As Finance soldiers (basically Payroll), we went to the rifle range once a year, gas chamber, PT 3X a week, and sometimes a road march and/or the field. In the army, you're a soldier first, your MOS second. I loved it!
I've been through Marine Corps Boot Camp, and I've looked at videos of Air Force Basic Training. I was wondering about the Air Force Basic Training. Were you able to order room service while being there? LOL!

Read it again!!!!!! I said i am a 22 year Pararescue veteran as i retired after 22 years of service it does not say i am22 years old. I am by the way 52 years old. I enlisted in 1982 and retired April 8, 2004.
+Keith Hugo Lmao calm down Senior it was a joke sheesh.
Great interview and solid info!
The only thing I didn't like was that Gott kept interrupting Nava when he was trying to explain specific answers... hahaha. Just let the man talk.
Kyle can you do a video about Security Forces or with somebody that has the job?
Kyle you should definitely do this idea
I want to find out more about Security Forces too! Looking at the TRF.
i was a 97B (CI Agent) in the Army, I used to live in the officers barracks (korea) as a E-3.
this is so unfair. Why do they treat hard working marines like cadets on a camp but the Airmen get a good home salary and dont even have to shave that often. Whats the point of joining the marines anyway for hardcore fun?
*****
exactly! im not saying no one should join the marines but its not for everyone. My cousin joined the marines in 2013 and after basic training he already wanted to come home because he keeps complaining about how hard and physically challenging it is. I believe the Airforce is the best choice for me. I have my last year in ROTC and i believe the Airforce is the right choice for me and could of been a great career for my cousin because he loves Air-crafts and wanted to become a pilot but sadly he didnt research about the different careers and ops in the military and how it could affect his life
Because it's the real military. Kyle wouldn't understand.
+caltek2006 Thank you.
+B.C.H.SBanger The Marines do what the whole point of the military is. To physically defend this nation that people are currently attempting infiltrate and attack our people on the streets. When most Airmen get out. Will they be able to believe they made a difference defending this nation against foreign and or domestic enemies. I don't believe so. Painting airplanes and welding sheet metal is really bad ass.
+caltek2006 The way I see it is the Marines is much more selfless career and the Air Force is a selfish career. Those looking to get an easy ride for the military's great benefits.
I started in the Marines as a 0351. 2007-11. since then i've been in the air force in aircraft maintenance
"If we had everything we needed we wouldn't be pissed off and ready kill someone all the time. See, the Marine Corp is like Americas little pitbull. They beat us, mistreat us, and occasionally let us out to attack someone."
I’m Air Force agr and it’s amazing ha. Although I really want to be stationed in Japan, but I have no clue on how to go about doing it.
i needed this im stuck like glue idk which one🤦🏾♀️
Same
@@MrBigChops i chose the corps!im currently on nrotc scholarship to be an officer lol🙂
My dad is a Navy officer that was stationed in Kadena I remember going to japan every summer to visit him. It will be my turn to serve in a few years when I finish ROTC and Kadena would be dope. That is one good thing about marines is that the base location are absolutely beautiful, maybe that has something to do with them being a sea force.
I'm considering the Marines or Air Force. I'm at an impasse though.
which one did you pick
Interim Champs [Aldo's Kryptonite] go air force, don't even look at the other branches XD
If you are tough join the marines if you want a comfy lifestyle join the Air Force there is a major difference.
Conor MxGregor's Dolly I'm having the same dilemma
Conor McGregor's Dolly personally im doing marines. I need something tough to help build myself to what i want myself to be. But thats just me.
I lived on Cherry point marine base for 5 years and I used to have tons of fun with the kids there, it was a very friendly lively base.
lol You were kind of harsh about the poor guy's office job.
yeah man i thaught the same i was like god damn he is ragging on him. but its just eazy to i guess but he did say playing on his key board. lol im joining the af though got the papers sighned. made the right choice lmao
Best of luck to you!
+Emily S thanks man!
im joining to be a grunt 0311
+QuickSilver SnD Good for you man. Stop the extremist terror cells and help make people lives better in these harsh areas of the world.
That’s what I like about being admin we see all the best spots for those courses first
Lol sounds like Air Force is good for me then. I grow facial hair fast. One day I'll shave it off, the next it's back.
My buddy was like that. Had to shave in the morning and all get yelled at during tech school
I just wanted to come back to this video and say this gives me hella nostalgia lol
"Your a grown marine" 😂😂😂
and you cant drive a car.... lmfao i feel so bad for laughng at that
¿????????
+NavaTheBeast hey man hope things are great for you! i went over and subbed. i have a work our rutine kinda but I'll check out how i can implement your stuff too it looks really cool!!
Great video guys nice to see a marine and airmen sharing info together
how is the pride and brotherhood you see in each branch, like obviously the marines has the whole "once a marine always a marine" and like the "brothers in arms" but what about the air force?
Got to my first duty station as a first term airmen, single asf, E2. Moved off base within the first three months.
Read those contracts closer boys..... That's an 8 yr contract hahahahahahahhaha!!!!!!
My dad always told me to join the Air Force for the better quality but I’ve always liked camping and hiking so bunking with guys isn’t a problem for me. And the discipline drilled into you by the marines is good for character
I think it's funny how Kyle is all proud of how the Air Force is so chill and laid back but yet all Kyle can do is 40 push ups before he gives up and I'm sure others that are in the Air Force can't do much better than Kyle. It all comes down to if we went to war who would save us. Marines or Air Force. It's sad that each branch has to out do each other when you guys all work for the same government.
Sabrina Conklin Same Oath, Same Government, Same Mission. No need for any separation outside of in a joking manner. I am in the process of enlisting in the Air Fore now & am proud to say that but i have huge respect for any other branch
My cousin Is stationed on Okinawa Japan in the marines, she is in the 1st MAW and is an E-4 And her boyfriend is an E-5 as and osprey crew chief.
Is it true about the 90 sec shower?
I loved this video! It was fun to see the comparison of the two branches....
I can't wait for the PT test video 😂
i love Kyle Gott videos man always entertaining
Marine vs Air Force uniforms would be sweet
Im AF in Germany, we have no curfew over here. Im POL and my shop does organized PT between 1-3 times per week.
It just shows marines put their life for the person next to them that's why they are so close I'd rather be having a room buddy then barely knowing people in the Air Force & stick in my room That's why they are elite
+NavaTheBeast that's right brother I plan on enlisting in August just doing everything I can to get physically fit before but mentally is the challenge I'm willing to take
Patrick Bernal so you need to be in the military to have brotherhood and close life-long friends? okay then
@kylegott, I binge watched a bunch of your videos last night 6/14 and I had wanted to join the Marine corps since I was ten. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into with joining the Marines. While watching last night, I definitely saw the major differences. And because of watching your videos I have made the change to join the Air Force. Sounds super bad on my part because I made TONS of jokes about the "chair force" and much more, yet I still am hyped to join. You may not think it, but you inspired me to want to join. Your videos on the tattoo policy, BMT, ect, and it made me seriously change my thought process.
I’m debating between the two. What do you think about your decision?
Kyle I talked to my recruiter Yesterday and it didn't go so good :(. He said I need to gain weight first, that it'd be easier to gain weight through muscle. So my questions to you is, will you please make a video on your supplements, what they do, and how to use them. Also, how to gain weight please!
Eat. Make eating your job. Eat until you feel like you have to vomit at every meal, and then eat some more. And then lift.
+TheMarmot24 supplements don't count for anything unless you have diet, adequate sleep, and consistent training.
I have consistent training, good sleep, and I'm trying to figure this out diet thing out. I don't understand how I can eat (a lot) lift and keep the weight or vice versa.
+Optimistic WonTon this is what my coach told me to do. Take a glass of whole milk, and pour two packets of instant non fat dry milk into that. Then put in two tablespoons of nesquick in there. Boom. 800 calories. Then he had me eat fig newtons all the time. Like a box every week.....just an example of some things to do.
When lol? This is disappointing I've been waiting 3 years to join and already got somewhat disqualified :(. I drink 20 oz of milk with a pound of protein.
Omg Nava is so handsome. I love how he is so humble with what he has to deal with being a Marine 🤤
All he is doing is trying to get Nava to disrespect the Marine Corps... I really respect Nava for staying professional and never once taking shots at any other branch. The Air Force guy on the other hand is constantly, secretly bashing the Marine Corps. That's a great representation of Airmen and Nava is the perfect representation of professionals and respectable Marine.
25:57 - Was that a fly or an orb?
That's the old saying. Everyone wants to be a grunt until it's time to do grunt shit. Like living in a barracks forever.
24 Years in the U.S. Air Force. Retired Master Sgt. It was a good life.
Do Airmen vs Coast Guard
I had my own room during C School in Pensacola. Now I'm in Iwakuni, Japan and I still have my own room, I just share a common area with another Marine but just wanted to put that out there. Not all bases are that bad about having your privacy, just depends on your assigned Unit.
the more i listen to this, the more i feel for the Marines. the Marines seem to have a much TOUGHER life. seriously, way way tougher than the others. this is so unfair.
Live tough be tough
I like the activity level of the USMC be ause of how sharp it makes you but the quality of life in the USAF seems like a win for me.
Seems like he got Nava on here to troll him and steal recruits
So excited to be joining the air Force next year
Hey Kyle would you do a Q&A with a Special Missions Aviator? I've been really interested in the job and would like hearing tips from a person who's currently doing that job.
Special Mission Aviator afsc:1A9X1 are crew members on HH60s, AC130s etc. Basically, they're spec ops flyers. They're loadmaster, flight engineer, and door gunner combined. So all aircrew go through tech training at lack land, last time I checked they're washout rate was over 75 percent, as if getting a flying afsc was hard enough lol. They're pretty undermanned so I'd say you'd have a decent shot a getting it, although getting a 1A job is diffivult enough (less than 2%) Good luck!!
-C130 loadmaster
Alright thanks for the info!
I'm enlisting in the air force pretty soon and my buddy who just left for boot camp asked me before he left why I won't enlist in the marines, wish I could show him this video about the quality of life
Basically, Marines is like living in poverty vs Air Force is high middle class 😂
"Rifleman before anything". Navathepogue cracks me up!
Airforce doesn't sound as exciting; not enough discipline for me
Yeah it's apparent when he kept interrupting Nava
For the record, this Marine is stationed in Japan so the policies are a little more strict than usual. In the states pretty much the same policies. Quality of life in the Marines is just fine
@4:24
I'm thinking about joining the Air Force or the U.S Army ? I can't decide but is there a difference in the two groups ?
I recently enlisted into the Army Reserve and completed Basic Training at Fort Jackson back in August and am now in AIT at Fort Gordon and I too thought about the same two. Even though I don't know much about Air Force life, I choose the Army because it is the largest branch and your MOS is guaranteed since its large. In the Air Force, I learned since its the third largest the branch might not have openings for your job and would have to look for another. I hope that helps but there is probably are a few good reasons to join the Air Force too.
lol my dad is in the air force and we've been in north dakota for around 12 years now
Do officers stay In barracks?
Andrew Van Lare no dumass
Wayne Fletcher calm down I just had a question dang
Andrew Van Lare officers have option of living in their own place on base or off base
Which branch? That's the question I had for the Marines. E-4 according to a recruiter is the level Officers normally start at.
Good question though!
Ours did. Different barracks though.
That for the video man! working on joining an air guard medical unit right now this really helped!
yes! that's exactly what I'm in now!
Air Force barracks don't have roommates? That sounds lonely. You make the *best* friends in the barracks.
Toby I never made a friend in the barracks. Most people were trash
God help you if you hate your roommate
@Lonnie lol that shouldn't be happening in Air Force
I rather have a room by my self
You have roommates just not in the same room for your own space I’m guessing
Have you ever visited Yambal(northern side of Okinawa main land)? It is one of very super natural forest in Japan. If not yet, you should go and check it out. peace
Navathebeast kinda talks like Dave Franco lol
In terms of lifestyle, the army is similar to the marines. I lived in the barracks my entire career. As an NCO, I had my own room, but not until then. As Finance soldiers (basically Payroll), we went to the rifle range once a year, gas chamber, PT 3X a week, and sometimes a road march and/or the field. In the army, you're a soldier first, your MOS second. I loved it!
Marine over Air Force all day
i want you guys just to live in okinawa with no war happened. Thank you very much!!!
I've been through Marine Corps Boot Camp, and I've looked at videos of Air Force Basic Training. I was wondering about the Air Force Basic Training. Were you able to order room service while being there? LOL!
Good video. Interesting contrast to the old brown-boot army - no comparison by either to my experience, back in the day.
