Having attended both USAF BMT in 1981 and US ARMY Infantry OSUT at Fort Benning in 1986, I am glad to see that the USAF has at added a tiny bit of field/combat training during the Lackland experience.

Back in the day when I went through Happy Valley USA 🇺🇸 (Lackland AFB) aka US Air Force Basic training it was pretty rigorous. (42 years ago) We had our fit reps we had to make by the end of BMT and we had to go through the Confidence ( Obstacle ) Course. It was a lot like this but we didn't have to wear any combat gear or the like. We had to do a lot of things that aren't done here. I'm proud of these young men and women. No matter what form it takes, it's a rite of passage. They will do well when and if they have to step up and defend our country!
They are having WAY too much fun haha. All i remember is getting yelled at for everything i did because obviously no matter what i was doing it was wrong! haha
My oh my how things have changed... This "BEAST" thing didn't exist 19 years ago. We had, "Warrior Week" and did the confidence course. There was no laughing or cheering people on and it was all business that entire week.

Fun times when I went through beast week last year on late January. The combatives was awesome everyone trash talking. The female trainees in my beast week from the 320th squadron were getting crazy one female trainee in particular was punching the face and everything. Two of my flight mates were going at each other like they want to kill each other it was fun to watch.
I went through BMT in the middle of July, 1980. Spent most of the time in a classroom. Only had to run the 1.5. I remember it being so hot at 6am under those dorms.

@@USAirForceRecruiting I am only 12, yes quite young but the airforce is my dream, but I have a question, if I am not born in the US but I still have a green card and all the things to be a us citizen, can I still join?
Non US citizens must have an Immigration Services (U.S.C.I.S) Registration Card (INS Form I-551 -- Commonly known as a "Green Card". The green card must be a 10 year green card and with an expiration date greater than 2 years from the date of issue. Applicants must be between 17 and 39, must speak, read and write English fluently to apply to join the Air Force. If qualified you can join at age 17 with parental consent during your junior year in high school as part of The Air Force Softbook Program and enter the Delayed Entry Program (DEP). However, you will not go to Basic Military Training (BMT) until after you graduate high school. While you are still too young to enlist into the Air Force, it is never too early to start preparing. There are a few things you can do now to prepare for once you reach the required age. First study hard and graduate from high school. Get the best grades you can in all subjects especially English, Math and Science. This will help you improve your score on the ASVAB test which is required for enlistment. Say no to drugs and get an early start on physical conditioning are important steps in the right direction. And stay out of trouble. Law violations can delay and in some cases will disqualify you from joining the Air Force and taking advantage of the opportunities available. Starting early and being prepared are your best shot.

@@USAirForceRecruiting Thank you very much! Luckily, I found the Air Force DEP app and it has the stuff I need to know about BMT. However, I do have a question though: how is BMT affected from this pandemic? Is it shorter? Lesser recruits? Just want to know the big differences between pre-covid BMT and present day BMT
The safety and security of our Airmen continue to be top priorities while in BMT and Technical Training. We’ve modified BMT operations to implement the necessary health protection measures to ensure our trainees and cadre, and the communities in which they operate, are safe to conduct training. To fully maximize training effectiveness and to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, BMT is temporarily shortening training from eight and a half to seven and a half weeks. This will allow BMT to adhere to social-distancing guidelines as well as ensure the safety and security of the trainees, the Military Training Instructors and BMT support personnel. In order to maintain social-distancing measures and preserve dorm capacity, new recruits will be brought in based on a four-week repeating cycle that includes stringent restricted-movement guidelines, dedicated time for deep cleaning between rotations, resetting the instructor cadre and the use of an alternate BMT location for a low number of trainees at Keesler AFB, Mississippi. It is most likely that your BMT ship date and location will not change, but if they do, your recruiter will let you know. Keep in close contact with your recruiter and he or she can answer any questions you may have and update you on any changes. Don Air Force and Space Force Recruiting Service
@@gillosdesouza246 Beast, is in fact a whole week. It simulates a deployed environment, so you will be out there 24/7 for that duration. But you go over multiple things, not just obstacle courses.

Seems alot easier than warrior week to me. I got cut up on my elbows and knees as soon as we started. We had rocks not sand. No team either, just angry TIs. Today's airmen seem weak. The ones in the back couldn't speak, they'd have to jog in place. If they couldn't complete an obstacle, they'd have one chance to complete or they'd be recycled to an earlier flight. Our military is weak, and god help us if we face China or Russia in a major conflict.

Um, what the hell? The one kid has his hat on backwards and isn’t being annihilated? My flight was silent and scared while gettin yelled at the whole time while here lol I’m so confused
Is this Air Force Basic Training? Looks like NJROTC. During Recruit Training, the recruit is supposed to get wet and then muddy! Where were the instructors giving motivational reminders? It seemed like the basic trainees had more than enough time and energy to do each obstacle twice.
Air and Space Force BMT is about mental stress not physical, just like their jobs will be. Physical training is minimal, just enough to live in a FOB. The few jobs that are combat related get very physical training in the technical classes that occur just after graduating basic. When I went through basic, the mind games were brutal and many trainees failed. Instructors did their best to remove trainees by making them lose their tempers, get flustered or inattentive, or take inappropriate actions.
No offense but this is BEAST week there should be screaming and yelling no laughing. This is suppose to be serious not some summer camp. This is suppose to be hell not fun and games. When I join I hope it's a lil more serious than this in BMT.
The obstacle course and BEAST in general is near the end of training. Peer encouragement is accepted. It's competitive between flights typically. They aren't in the hell phase of training anymore.
What most of you dont know is that this is the last week of basic training. You already know you're graduating and they arnt even drill instructors teaching the course. So before u crayon eaters judge do your research

It's the Air Force. Essentially it's where the smart people go. Most airmen are working on planes or intelligence. There really is no need for extreme training. Unless you're a PJ; those guys are badass!

Yes, trainees will still participate in BEAST (Basic Expeditionary Airmen Skills Training) week. Training objectives have been modified to ensure BMT mitigate any health and safety risk to their trainees

....kinda, BEAST is only 2-3days now and very very different from the usual.
Um, what the hell? The one kid has his hat on backwards and isn’t being annihilated? My flight was silent and scared while gettin yelled at the whole time while here lol I’m so confused
I went through basic in 2019, we were instructed to flip the hats to fit the Kevlar helmets on properly.
They're acting overly hyped and supportive for the cameras my guess. BEAST was not this fun lol
@@maxamills1929 The dude wasnt wearing a helmet.
Nah bru this has to be before COVID😤
Were there cookies and juice boxes provided after?
Is it really as hard as it looks?
They’re lucky. The water main broke when I went
Is this Air Force Basic Training? Looks like NJROTC. During Recruit Training, the recruit is supposed to get wet and then muddy! Where were the instructors giving motivational reminders? It seemed like the basic trainees had more than enough time and energy to do each obstacle twice.
I’m Army. This looks easy af compared to he Forge.
I went through it 5 years back and I expected it to be way more challenging than it was.. I was a little disappointed
Izak Nicholas yet, the army doesn't make a move until the AF or navy makes it safe for them, ironic huh!
@@B_radd Funny when a air base gets attacked they call the Army
Izak Nicholas well someone has to rebuild it.
It’s actually pissing me off how easy Airforce BMT is
What branch you in?
Air and Space Force BMT is about mental stress not physical, just like their jobs will be. Physical training is minimal, just enough to live in a FOB. The few jobs that are combat related get very physical training in the technical classes that occur just after graduating basic. When I went through basic, the mind games were brutal and many trainees failed. Instructors did their best to remove trainees by making them lose their tempers, get flustered or inattentive, or take inappropriate actions.
@@mudboy9762 yeah it is more oriented to the Air Force way. Every branch calls for a different role, and like you said it implies it in their BMT
No offense but this is BEAST week there should be screaming and yelling no laughing. This is suppose to be serious not some summer camp. This is suppose to be hell not fun and games. When I join I hope it's a lil more serious than this in BMT.
Then join the marines my dude
The obstacle course and BEAST in general is near the end of training. Peer encouragement is accepted. It's competitive between flights typically. They aren't in the hell phase of training anymore.
Lol don’t join the af than join marines if u want a hard basic
It wasn't like this 19 years ago. This is "new age" stuff.
@@alexsmith6914 either way af is a joke except for pj cct selection
What most of you dont know is that this is the last week of basic training. You already know you're graduating and they arnt even drill instructors teaching the course. So before u crayon eaters judge do your research
Wish I can join the airforce im just 55lbs from being able to 😤
You can do it. Move more, eat less. Begin to walk/run...weights and flexibility. You can do it!
We had someone in our platoon that lost 200 pounds to enlist you can do it just depends on how dedicated you are to enlisting
how long is basic during the pandemic?
Nick, BMT is temporarily shortening training from eight and a half to seven and a half weeks. This will allow BMT to adhere to social-distancing guidelines as well as ensure the safety and security of the trainees, the Military Training Instructors and BMT support personnel.

We did not get to do this at beast
Beast week was the best part about bmt. Only thing that sucked was the showers
that’s me! AYEEEEEEEE
This looks like fun. I wanna do nuclear or pararescue.
ONorse, your Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test scores, physical exam, citizenship and moral standards determine your job/career qualifications.
What is your age, highest level of education completed, citizenship status, and zip code?

very cool deal guys
Bruh, this is why every branch makes fun of the AF
my beast week was only a day and a half long
IDK if I should laugh, or cry at the lackadaisical effort of this training. I hope there is something more strenuous in their training than this cakewalk.
Why?
Sadly, no
@@joshmagnum3718 why does there have to be lol
Savvy Sauce it's called basic for a reason.
They have an actual mote now, wow.
Fall in the water and get soak: Demerit!
Is this during BMT?
Rupe, yes it is.

It’s a summer camp lol
I remember we didn’t get to use gloves on the rope swing
Nice
...this isn't basic this is a summer camp.
I have a feeling this is propaganda by the air force to make you want to join.
i graduated oct.1 this was not how beast was..
How was it please? And how long did it take? Was it a while week or just a few hours in a day?
my beast week was 4 days, youll eat 2 mre’s breakfast and lunch then you’ll eat dinner at a makeshift dfac. the obstacle course was cut short due to covid( its pretty easy) i think beast is back to 5 days now. you’ll also do a bomb drill where they will grade you and your zone.
Hated Beast week missed my AC
Elite Jordan right, no one joins the AF to do this type of stuff!
If only my drill instructors were there
God.
Why ain’t they wearing legit IOTV’s lol?
Shouldn’t be this much smiling and laughing!
I live in south Korea now
I want to graduate from college and join US airforce

Beast week was a pillow fest. Easy af, and it still sucked. Would rather be on EC duty during that week. Felt like a little kids obstacle course
Looks like one too
I love you all babies 😘🥰😘🥰👋👋👋👋👋👋
Aaannnnndd then front leaning test afterwards
there wasn't much that was "beast" about this.. looks like a fun day messing around.. I have better workouts longboarding up and down hills.
still love the Air Force. 🇺🇸
I mean i probably dont have a say in this since im still a civilian but this looks really easy why are they going slow? Im looking foward to be an airman one day but this looks embarrassing. But then again im not in their boots. Good luck airmen 👍🇺🇸
It’s probably harder than it looks. But doesn’t it look so fun?
It’s the airforce what u expect 😂😂
It’s mostly just exhausting after being out in the heat for the length of the day but it was all in all a lot of fun
It's the Air Force. Essentially it's where the smart people go. Most airmen are working on planes or intelligence. There really is no need for extreme training. Unless you're a PJ; those guys are badass!
@@matreiya0 it sure does!
Eating with headgear on?????
Imagine going through boot and not getting issued ABUs, OCPs Are uggggggg
Imagine going though BMT and not getting issued BDUs. ABU's are terrible.
ABUs were hot garbage. The only airmen who liked them were the office based AFSCs.
**Screams** Why is their weapons not secure when they’re eating! It’s just laying in the dirt 5 to 10 feet away!
Also that kid just opened an MRE and ate it cold.
In all honesty. Welcome to the family trainees!
Man they got it easy now. No yelling and cussing and spitting in your face while having coffee breath.
