I Don’t Remember Air Force Basic Training Being This Tough 😮

- This is my reaction to the new Air Force Basic Training video. Y'all I went through Air Force basic training back in 2006. A lot has changed since then. As I was watching this video, I was totally surprised by how cool Air Force BMT is now, but I was also shocked by how hard Air Force Basic Training seems now. Insider did a great job filming this. If you're going to Air Force Basic Training in soon or in 2022, I really recommend you get familiar with whats going before you get there.

Just the part where the trainee just allowed the role-Player to take her M4 made me laugh so hard...
😂😂😂. Like why?? You just gonna give up your weapon. Lol. I was thinking the same thing.
Assert yourself spongebob! Let’im have it!!!
You can have it
@@JackMeoff46 ??? What?
@Miles Doyle 🤲🏾
I just graduated 2 days ago and it was great to watch a recap of everything my flight and I went through. I watched your videos for several months before joining and it definitely helped me go in with a good mindset. I was much more prepared than most of my wingmen and that gave me the opportunity to help them through the process.
Wow. Well congratulations and I’m glad I could help. Thanks for the support and good luck on your journey. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
How you making out now?
How was the EOC test?
You are so fortunate to get to watch videos. I'm so old that we only had outdated paper pamphlets to look at. 90% of what we did was a total surprise.
I knew I should have joined the Air Force! But no I had to be a hard head and join the Marine Corps where we carried our rifle with us pretty much 10 of the 12 weeks if boot camp. And why would u have wanted to sleep in that hut with ac/heat instead of sleeping in a sleeping bag in the ground in a shelter half in the rain!!! I went through boot camp from September 8, 1992 to December 4, 1992 at Parris Island. The difference is more than night and day. But you have to have different for different services. When it comes down to it, We ALL basically signed a blank check for up losing our lives. One thing I can say is every chance I got to eat at an Air Force chow hall I sure did. They had great food! Semper Fi from an old Marine
I don’t think people should be calling the Air Force the chair force is very disrespectful to people who serve in it and have served in it and died
My grandson is at Lackland AFB. Your commentary and pride about your experience made me realize how tough but gratifying basic training can be. Thank you for this and thank you for your service. I’m looking forward to attending my grandson’s graduation ceremony.
Love that you did a reaction video! The "U.S. Air Force Recruiting" channel has recently begun a new series following 5 trainees through their BMT process. The videos are long, but I hear that they're pretty accurate! Thank you for all you do - I don't know when I'll be leaving yet, but I know I'll be prepared by watching your helpful content!
Aww. Thank you so much. Let me know if you have any questions along the way. 🙌🏽
I watched the whole series it’s definitely worth the watch
@@JodywithawhyI have a few questions to ask you about the airforce and the asvab if that’s okay I could hit you on instagram
@@lyssrenee9215 it's sooo good, like you get to study and netflix on bmt at the same time!
Thanks for the tip on 5:48! I was getting really low reps by doing situps with shoulder blades touching the ground and all the way to elbows touching your knees. I was getting mixed information on this but you clarified it for us. Thank you!
No problem at all. Glad I could help. 🤙🏽
Thank You for this. My 21 yr old son leaves to BT soon. & this helped see what's to come.
Heading to the hotel today then shipping out tomorrow. Thank you for all your effort preparing people!
Ayeee. Congrats and good luck. You got this. Thanks for the support. 🤙🏽
Love all of your videos, I leave in 26 days for bmt, you have educated me a lot and I thank you for that!
I’m leaving the same time!
Best Air Force channel period
Love the reaction videos, Jody! This is great content for new airmen!
Thanks Zac. 🙌🏽
Thanks for your channel, your content and your service!!!
I went through basic (1976) and missed honor grad by one point. Then, four years later I retrained into Law Enforcement. Which at the time was a brand new AFSC not under Security Police. But the training was according to Security Police doctrines and standards. The training was brutal! Then they "Volunteered" me for ABGD....The Air Force's version of combat infantry. That was short but just as painful. I graduated #4 from the Police Academy. From then on there were seemingly endless FTX's and real-world field deployment. It was an endless state of Police Academy and ABGD level training all the time.
I just went through BMT in June-August. 323TRS, MUSTANGS! It was quite the experience, especially being an older trainee at 24 years old. I met, spoke with, and go to know many of the people in this very video. Col. Pixley(a genuine guy that seems to really care about Trainees, TSgt Dodson an MTI that struck a healthy fear into everyone of us in the 323rd but she also had our respect and showed she cared about our success, and even the CATM Instructor Mr. Brown who was horrible btw and perhaps the most toxic and unprofessional man I have met so far in the Air Force. I've made it through my Technical Training, also in Wichita Falls, AMMO! I have arrived at my first Duty Station and have absolutely loved my experience so far in the World's Greatest Air Force.
Ayeeee. That’s awesome. I don’t know these people, but that’s cool you got a chance to meet some of them. Get used to toxic people. They’re everywhere. Air Force or not. Just don’t let their toxicity mess up your vibe. That’s the only thing you can control. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Anytime anyplace mustangs excellence always no excuses!!!
My son is in basic 323rd mustangs right now 😁 missing him for sure!
ANYTIME ANYPLACE MUSTANGS!
EXCELLENCE ALWAYS!
NO EXCUSES!
Just graduated as a Mustang back in May... ANYTIME ANYPLACE MUSTANGS!
TSgt Cooper might actually be the scariest person in the world.
thank you for all the information whatever your dropping im picking up right away im 20 and im going to join the air force and i like to learn any and everything 💯
Ayeeee. Well I do appreciate the support and I’m glad I could help. Good luck with the process 🙌🏽🙌🏽.
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple months now and you’ve given out a lot of crucial information as far as joining into the Air Force, I leave for basic January 11th and I’m very excited.
Ayeee. I’m glad I could help. Good luck at basic. Let us know when you graduate so we can congratulate you. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy I sure will
@@supremekyler hope all has been well! hope you can provide an update on your experience. I plan to enlist soon.
Love your style!
Thank you so much. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wooow this is beautiful!! I love it
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
So much of this reminds me of Army basic training. Love the Warrior Airman mindset.
Hey Jody, can you make a video on going over debt? I am trying to join, and up until recently I have found out if you have like an insane amount of credit card debt or certain type of debt like in collections that it may prevent you from joining. I was just hoping you can make a video covering all things in regards to debts and credit scores if that makes sense. Like maybe certain waivers or payment plans that can help you join regardless of debt? I hope that makes sense also lol.
I’m sure there is a lot of people with questions like that in regards to the enlisting process with the recruiter so i know it would be a great video for your channel.
Thank you for all your videos. Very very helpful.
I love your videos. The comments are so funny. 😂
I was watching you before i enlisted cause i was tryna compared navy and the Air Force now been in the navy for 8 months but still watching your channel keep it up sir
Thank you for watching and supporting still. Means a lot. 🤙🏽
Been waiting for this. Thank you
No problem at all. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽. I actually liked doing it. Gotta get a little more comfortable doing it, but it was fun.
I am LOL over your comment about still being scared of the TIs. When i went through the ANG Recruiter course, I was E-5, and I still got nervous around the TI showing us through the BMT dorms.
Lol. It be like that sometimes. 😂😂😂😂
“Why’d I pause on him like that” 😂😂😂😂😂 I said the same thing watching this
Your channel helped me a lot, now im in DEP, ill start bmt nov 7th. Thanks a lot
Congrats. Glad I could help you along the process. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Drawer folder...that's funny lol I'm prior Army and idc what branch you're from, I have the utmost respect for you. Sure branches rag on each other but at the end of the day, we're all brothers and sisters in arms
I love your channel sooo muchhhh , you are soooo humorous, you took me out when you started commenting on the gear , " 15 degreess. H*** nawww bout 45 "
😂😂😂. They tried to make it sound good. Them things hot as h***. Lol.
Beast week looks fun
I travel to basic training Monday, I am proud to become an Airman and thank you for your videos. You may never see this but if you do, thank you.
Ayeee. Congrats and good luck. Let us know when you graduate so I can congratulate you again. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Yes, Sir, until then.
Update?
I really enjoyed the video 😊
Thank you so much. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love it !
Thank you so much. 🤙🏽
This all makes sense now, worked once with AF and walked away with so many questions. This answers them all.
I don’t feel like that’s a good thing. Lol
You’re the greatest yhu made me join the airforce keep striving 🗣I’m currently waiting on my job to come available
Ayeeee. I’m glad I could help bro. Seriously. Good luck on the job process. Hopefully everything works out. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy would you do a video on
the pay rate n how it works
Here you go. I think this will help. ruclips.net/video/zs7IMHst3vg/видео.html
They started integrating AF with Army training back in 2007ish moreso while I was in. I had many guys in AF I knew who had to to go deploy with Army units and get more of this kind of training.
Yea about that, the "integration training" resulted in AF personnel still not (according the MAJ who was the OIC with a Technical Sergeant from the AF) able to leave the wire. Both AF fellas I worked with were awesome but their "boss" wouldn't allow them to leave the wire so we got creative to make it happen.
Circa 2009 AFG with CJ-SOTF-A.
I leave for basic 2/1/22 and this helped to give me an idea of what to expect. I’m going in as an older recruit 😅 so it should be interesting,
I’m glad I could help. Good luck on your journey. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Outstanding presentation. No doubt the first couplie of weeks give information overload. My Basic in the Army during Vietnam era was not tougher than this.
Wowww. I assumed it was extremely tough back then. That’s interesting.
I’m a 30 year old woman considering joining soon & your videos have been so helpful. Thank you!
Im a 30 years man , in the process to join
This was good. Graduated BMT Jun 13, 2001. I remember warrior week. We didn’t have explosives but it felt real enough to me. My friend who is a MTI I just had the opportunity to reenlist (I spent 15 years enlisted before commissioning). I got a chance to meet CMSgt Gaitan he’s pretty dope…and I’m still scared of MTIs even when they are my friends 😂.
That’s awesome. Yea something about their hat makes them a bit intimidating. Lol.
I went through in December 1975. We only handled the M-16 at the class room and the firing range. I scored 80 out of 80 at the range. 20 rounds fired at each position. Our TI had a big thing about the "heel beat". When we were marching and getting in sync, our heel beat became very loud and distinct. If he couldn't hear our heel beat, he would start screaming at us.
Felicitaciones para todos Los Airman Dios los brndiga
Here you go from a guy who went through Basic Training 56 years ago. I went through Aug- Nov of 1967. Basic was 6 weeks long. We were housed in WW Il wooden barracks, individual rooms. Pt was done in leather combat boots, jumping Jack's and a 1 mile run. Two days of rifle training, drill and a lot of classroom training. No graduation ceremony, finish basic and on the bus to your next school.
I went to Lackland in the mid-80's and barely graduated. There's no doubt that I would've been kicked out had Basic Training being like this back then. Even though I was a "screw up" in the Air Force and they couldn't get rid of me fast enough, I still love it and think it is the best branch of our military. Aim High Airmen!
Jody, I just stumbled on your video and reaction about the USAF basic. As you know, during Afghanistan and Iraq at the same time, the military response and personnel were very stretched as time went on. There needed to be many gaps filled by military branches not geared particularly for that role. Therefore, the Air Force and Coast Guard have expanded basic training to include more weapons and tactical training. The Army and Marines had been stretched to capacity during those campaigns. I remembered an incentive program called "Blue to Green" that offered Air Force personnel to switch branches to the Army to keep up with Army security and patrols. Even though the Coast Guard (another teased branch, "Puddle Pirates") already had much security training, they ramped up weapons and tactics training too besides the already highly established security response teams.
Amen! The French toast at Lackland was 🔥FLT 275- 2020.
Yo been waiting on a video boss man, grinding tryn to make weight to go active duty at 36 lord please don’t let them change the age limit
I hear ya. I don’t think it will change anytime soon, but you never know how these things go. Keep grinding and let us know when you get in. I wanna congratulate you bro. 🤙🏽
I ship out in the morning
LETS GOOOO!!!
Ayeeee. Good luck. Let us know when you graduate. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
This was sooo funny jody had me weak the entire video
Why you pause on me like that? 🤣 Great vídeo 💪🏻❤️
Is that you??? Lol. If so, I didn’t realize until I was editing. 😂😂😂😂. My bad bro
Yeah it’s me 😂 Don’t worry, we are wingman’s now!
I still remember Sgt Ang from BEAST week! He was cool enough to talk to me and another guy about our jobs during that week. Now me and the other airman are still good friends.
Sgt Ang was in my squadron! He was great but you did not want to get on his bad side!
My squadron was the last one to not have families at graduation. It was the most fun you never wanna have again. 433 TRS
I’m shipping out to bmt in January. I’ve been working on this since December of 2020 & it’s right around the corner. I pray for the strength, wisdom, the support system I need to make it through & begin a new chapter I’m so excited to start.
Ayeee. Congratulations. You got this. It will go by so quick, but you’ll learn so much. When you graduate let us know, so we can congratulate you again. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I leave tomorrow for AF basic training so good luck lol
Good luck and congratulations. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
How was it man? I’m joining the Air Force sooon
@@familyguyfunnyy610 it’s more than what I’d thought it’d be. It’s definitely a challenge but it’s definitely more mental than physical even though it doesn’t seem like it. So much has changed for me during the service. I love my base and my husband and I are expecting a baby in 2 weeks. It wasn’t easy going through tech school pregnant but my wingman helped me out so much & they are 1 of the main reasons I’m considering extending after my contract is up. All I can do now is pay it forward & give back to other airman who are in need.
Looking forward to watching this!! I leave 1/4/22🥳🥳
Ayeee. Congrats and good luck. You got this. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy thank you Tupac! Lol
Ayeee. Tell your recruiter to stop the nonsense. Lol. 😂😂😂
Good video. Can you do a video on how long you can stay in the air force if you have not done one already? New airmen may want to know. They say as of June 2018 they have new guidelines.
Just a thought.
Awesome content.
I think I can. Most definitely. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
haha, I only got the eggs one time at lackland- the first breakfast, never again. everything else was so good back in the end of 07
Hey boss I love your cool demeanor and now as a 35 year old I’m thinking of joining.. I hope their more cool cats in the airforce like you and your videos have been helpful for sure even got the app… and idk why you pad use my dude at 6:28 like that 😂 but had me cracking up have a blessed one & thanks for your service 🫡
I’m hoping my channel can help you along the way. Good luck with everything and I appreciate your support. And I don’t know what I was on when making this video. Lol. He didn’t deserve that.
My husband is 34 and is about to leave for BMT!
You should react to one of the new BMT video's from the air force !
In the 80's, it was 6 weeks and there was film as in projector film that we had to watch called, "The Fastest 6 Weeks." NO PT uniform existed and no backpacks existed. All PT in black Combat Boots that you had to spend hours polishing.
lmao im glad you caught that "pretty arms" because I watched you go over that like :o is he gonna say something or what hahaha
Yea I caught it. And it didn’t register at first. Then I was like wait a minute….🧐. It’s crazy how disrespectful they were and how open about it they were.
Leaving for Basic on Nov. 22nd I gotta say I'm feeling nervous and excited and the same time.
That’s normal. You got this. Good luck at basic. When you graduate let us know so we can congratulate you. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Will do! About to head to my recruiter one last time before checking in to the hotel for MEPS next morning.
Just graduated yesterday!! Bout to head for my tech school!
Aye congrats. Let’s gooo. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@jayzarj7054 how was it?
I am currently sitting in the hotel waiting for 4 am. to get up and go to meps and get my flight ticket. The hardest part was leaving my daughter. But i am genuinely excited as hell.
Ayyye Sargent ang bro was chill af
Prolly the only group to do village twice
Chair force the best force, we just have to embrace it. Our battle is not exactly on the front lines, but we’ll support our troops dropping 500lb GBU-12s out the sky all day, er day😤
ALL DAY ER DAY. 😂😂😂
I always wondered what the Boyscouts of America went through to get their merit badges. Someday, these fine scouts might even consider joining the military.
All jokes aside, awesome video.
LOL "whyd i pause on him like that" 😅🤣
Same bruh
Making me excited to go BMT as soon as I can. Also, for the whole tap out part of the graduation, what if the individual doesn’t really have anyone that can go to their graduation?
Usually people in your flt will figure out who doesn’t have anyone coming, and someone in your flt will tap you out :)
Emily is correct. Your flight will take care of you.
Definitely much different than it was back in 1990.
During my 20 years, there was noticeable change in the knowledge and abilities of the new Airmen coming out of BMT.
I definitely think what is being taught now makes the newest generation of Airmen more complete when they leave BMT.
Glad to see the Bulldogs are still around though, for me it was the 3708 TRS.
Yeah, I'm old now. LOL ... but I would not trade those 20 years for anything.
Is that CC Gordon..lol😂. It’s Session, if you remeber me from USMA prep #Bastogne ( if I spelled that correctly) 😊
"Ooo He mad"🤣 Was my favorite part
Lol. Dude was extra serious. Lol
I live in Arizona, didn't have working AC in my car at one point in the summer..that gear in Texas heat would be cake haha
😂😂😂😂. I’m dead. Lol
It’s shortened again. It was 8.5 weeks when I was an MTI back in 2010-2014 (Retired 2014). Ever since 2008, the curriculum has changed to an Airman Warrior concept. 5:47 326TRS, that was my squadron as an MTI.
I was in BMT in 2014!! Also 326! I got put a few years ago and now my husband is joining!
Bro! I was in your flight at BMT. Nice channel Jody!!
Also, hardest $100 bucks I ever earned
😂😂😂😂. What’s up bro. Man, I can’t believe we made that dumb bet. Lol.
I still remember running to the finish line in our final pt test. The last 100 meters you and I damn near died trying to finish 1st. Lol. Good times.
I went through BMT in July 1976.
I remember they had on flag poles a banner which pertained to weather temp and a Black Flag was basically- can't do anything outside.
And hating people who smoked- they were given like 10 minute smoke break- whilst if you didn't smoke- rest of airmen had to stay in formation.
I do remember- I didn't end up doing a final PT Test, the obstacle course and I never shot a rifle- since for some reason I was recovering from an illness at Wilford Hall.
Then after graduation- which I didn't attend- stayed for up to a week in different barracks waiting for tech school bus/orders to Sheppard (for Disbursement Accounting Specialist- Mil Pay)- where I ended up being a Red Rope.
I miss the tan uniforms but can live with or without the... Green Fatigues.
I went through Lackland summer camp in June of 1971 and like many I believed our instructors were scary and tough, no, they are just actors and doing a fair job at it. If I knew now what I knew then I'd laugh at them.
I just graduated last week and Sergeant Ang was an instructor in my squadron.
Graduated 23 Sep 2021! @6:45 Meals are ten minutes, "mandatory" minimum. Once in awhile in later weeks it might go a bit longer, but the MTI's aren't supposed to cut it much shorter than ten. Still definitely yell to hurry up though
Thanks for this. Good info. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Why is it such a hurry to eat?
@6:19 as soon as I thought “Ay Yooo” the text popped up on the screen 😂
BMTS 3723/FLT035 back in ‘83.The basic training Lackland BLUES!It was 6 weeks of MTI’s YELLING-YELLING & FINALLY YELLING!!! Overall a good experience 🇺🇸👍Now give me a 341 AIRMEN!!!
French toast is still there, and still the best. 👌👌
Ayeee. That stuff was grade A
Our flight never got cohesive enough to help each other out lol I went through in 08 graduated 32 of 60 it was a mess lol
First PT, Jody. When I was there, the Di got us up and marched us to the main parade deck, 16 acres, called The Grinder. He told us to run around the field. I raised my hand, requested to speak, and asked how long we should run. He put his cover on my forehead and said, "Until you drop private. Until you drop."
Damn you went to basic in 2006? I was born in 2006 and I'm going to basic this summer
😳🥹. lol. Good luck my guy. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I did AFROTC back in 2016 and I was dead set on being a battlefield airman, that's what they called it back then, now it's special warfare airman I think. Anyway, I did one semester before I was told that I couldnt continue with the program because I have tattoos on my fingers and on my neck. I was super disappointed and bitter about it for years. Now, after seeing that my life has gone no where, working dead end job after job, going through life like if I'm waiting for something...anything to happen I decided I can't keep doing this and maybe that's what re-sparked my interest in the Air Force. I'm getting my tattoos lasered off, I'm gunna train, I'm gunna run, and I'm gunna swim cuz I still really want to be in special warfare. PJ, CCT, SR, TACP, I don't care, they're all kinda the same and I'd be super happy to land any one. I went to the offical site and says that the cut off age is 39 meaning I still plenty of time to get back at it and suceed this time around. Great vid btw.
Just received 2F031 as my job and I leave March 1st. Can’t wait
Ayee. Congrats. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I ship out to basic on the 16th of August. Hope it all goes well!!
Ayeee. Good luck. You got this. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Good luck, bring cough drops!
@@General_Hoe Why cough drops?
Thinking about joining the air force but damn you got me laughing 2 min in the video I'm trying to take this serious 🤣😂
Lol. Just keep going through my channel. I have a bunch of “serious” info that can help. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy didn’t want to make it seem like you weren’t serious my bad 😂😂 you’re just funny af and I was trying to be funny too 🤦🏾♂️. Thank you for your service and I’m really giving this some thought and your videos have helped a lot so far!
I didn’t take it that way. I was laughing with you. Lol
Im thinking about joining in a while.. im 32 yrs old now. Just nervous bout the MTIs in basic but ima try my best to not forget anything.
They’re not that bad honestly. Just a bunch of yelling. But once you understand it’s literally their job to yell, it doesn’t feel personal anymore. Just prepare yourself well, and it should be a breeze. Good luck on the journey bro. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy yeah like entering chow hall. I dont wanna slip. Ima professional as i am now i worked in fine dining restaurants and am a massage therapist now. So i totally understand the professionalsm il need to present my self. Including not forgetting the language. In fine dining a hint of that exist u gotta speak a proper language and not slip on that so I can bring a maximum style effort to whatever i do. Im thinking intel career.
Altho all my mistakes will be learning lessons. But il try my best when they put me on the spot to not forget anything lol
5:18 oo oo ohooo 😂😂
Its weird that this was filmed during covid. I was there Feb to April 2021, and yeah, apparently bmt was handled differently for us
Hey Jody, love your videos. I’ve been working on losing weight for 3 months now to meet the maximum requirement to join. Went from 235 to 217. I’m struggling now to get down to the 214 that is required. Will the training regiment provided by the AF DEP app help me get the last few pounds? I’m hoping to make weight by the end of this month to pass MEPS!
It can help, but I think using that will take sometime. Dieting is super important so you have to watch what you eat, especially with the holidays approaching. I’d recommend you look RUclips videos about dieting, exercise and weight loss plateaus. That’ll help you for your next step. I hope this helps. 🤙🏽
Jobs opening up the 18th can’t wait crossing my fingers
Ayeee. Good luck on the draft. Hopefully you get something. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Danng you had to fold drawls, I would’ve been SICK 😂.
I graduated basic training in Nov 1971. It was nothing like this is now. We were in the green machine, get 'em out as fast as possible. Chairforce...I never saw a chair once I got into the field. That is where I saw the real air force and it was just as challenging as any other branch of the military but required generally more technical education. We had the top 30% of ASVAB to work with. We may not have the reputation of being the greatest generation, we were veterans of Vietnam. We were damn good and damn proud of it.
My son went to boot camp at the height of Covid. Bummer. We only got to see him graduate virtual. 😷
You should do a video for Air Force Officer Training School
I’m leaving to BMT on the 23rd of this month. I’m going to MEPS before that day to say my last oath, and kiss my ass goodbye to Cali. Hoping to see some new opportunities ahead of time in the Air Force.
Ayeee congratulations and good luck in basic. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
19:48 where’s her cover? 😂😂💀 That’s embarrassing. I thought i was seeing things at first had to double check & whoops
I'm leaving for basic tomorrow 😂
Ayeeee. Congrats and good luck. You got this. Let us know when you graduate. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Basic Training/BMT has one goal: get you out of your comfort zone, become self sufficient, learn to adjust on the fly, get away from dependence on mommy and daddy making up for your mistakes.
Just hit the 32 year anniversary of my arrival at Lackland 2 days ago. There was some shady stuff going on and at least one TI got booted for some inappropriate behavior, ahem.
Buck Sgt Julie Begley, later CMSgt of the training squadron was the best!
