@Cody1138 two recruiters have called me so far and they are telling me that my allergies/asthma immediately disqualifies me but I’m gonna keep searching for a way around it because my asthma isn’t bad, I haven’t had a flare up years. The allergist gave me an inhaler because my allergies are kinda the cause of my asthma. I believe there’s a way that I can get a waiver. I just have to take a pulmonary exam to show that my breathing is fine.

Good luck to all the future Airmen. I joined right out of high school in 1975. It was the best decision I ever made. There was no money for college and I couldn't continue living at home. The USAF gave me a job, housing, medical and educational benefits and an exciting career. After active duty I joined the Air National Guard and became a full time technician. I retired after 38.5 years of service.

Thank you for your long productive and fulfilling service and career. I joined back in May of 1976, just out of high school for most of the reasons you did too. Went DEP, shipping out the day before Thanksgiving that same year. Stayed in for 4 years, extended 8 months so I could avoid one more winter in Alaska ( awesome 18 month tour there) before finishing up at Keesler. Then going on to finish a 4-year college degree that was an extension of my Air Force job, worked 30 years for GM before retiring. Could not have made a better choice. Still have a good friend that I worked with at my first PCS base in South Carolina. The one thing I learned in Basic that was "drilled" into us as a Flight by our MTI was, "always keep your military bearing". Has worked well for me in life, no matter what challenge one encounters, imho.

Seeing that young married couple prepare for his departure for BMTS really hit home for me. That was me and my ex-wife thirty years ago. Married one week with a baby on the way and preparing to step foot on that bus to Lackland AFB. All the emotions, anxiety, and uncertainty were captured beautifully in this video. Going into the USAF was the single most important decision of my life and I wouldn’t be the person I am today had it not been for the education and experiences I gained in my seven years of service.

I endured basic training at Sampson Air Base. Started 3 March,1953. The Air Force took this lovely Lake Geneva waterfront property over from the Navy. The weather was miserable, and the flu, affectionally known as Samsonitis), was rampant. The DI's never ending verbal assaults that 'Yes Sir, No Sir, keep your mouth shut and your eyes open' served well in my 23+ years of service.

I went through Basic at Lackland AFB, TX in 1984. We didn’t have these to watch before going to Basic. Needless to say, Basic has changed allot between when I went through land now! Retired in 2005…twenty one years…was a great time and my career went by fast!

I usually watch this series once a year. All the memories coming back from when I graduated in 2003.

The military has changed a lot, since I joined in 1965. I was 17 years old when I started basic. Two tech. schools later, I was assigned to Vandenberg AFB as an Aerospace Medical Technician. At the time, that designation was used for medics who worked in the flight surgeons office. I stayed at Vandenberg for the rest of my 4-year enlistment. I used the GI Bill to get a BA and later an MBA. My 4-years in the USAF set me on course for the rest of my life.

I leave November 29th for the hotel and arrive at Lackland the 30th! Im so excited, i'm gonna be a Air Transportation Specialist. I cannot express how excited and ready I am to go. I've wanted to join the Air Force for so long and I had to make alot of changes to even get the opportunity. I lost over 30 pounds over the span of 2 months and have been training really hard for BMT. I can't wait to begin my career!

I respectfully disagree. In Basic Training I was the chow runner, many people would argue that’s the “hardest job”. I didn’t volunteer, though I believe that my entire perspective of basic training was affected by my “job”. As rough as it may be to get yelled at more or learn a responsibility in the first week or two, especially when you’re doing this job 3 times a day, can be stressful, but arguably it changed the way I perceived stress for the rest of basic, and arguably tech school, and even more arguably my career in the operational Air Force. Just saying!!

Did my time at Lackland forty years ago. It will be interesting to follow this series and see how much things have changed. From what I've seen so far, there have been a lot of changes.

Hopefully, as his training completes and she is able to join him, she will have the opportunity to grow and mature as much as he will. Exposure to different parts of our country and to even other countries will change her profoundly. I suspect she will be a much stronger person in ten years.

Thanks for this lil trip down memory lane. Me and this guy had quite a bit in common

Been in the Air Force five years now. I still remember that first day getting to BMT. Hard to believe.

The air force is Excellent leadership and the young people when I was in boot camp I enjoyed my six weeks of training I wish I could go back but I pass that time I leave it to my grandchildren to carry on with the legacy. A1C SPRINGER.

I enlisted back in 1981 just before the recession of 1982-1985! College was a waste of my time and there were no jobs, so the Air Force was my last resort and the best decision I ever made. My 6.5 yrs were full of growth and excitement that can never be replaced. from 1981-1987.

Who couldn't stop watching this once they started?

Interesting to see. My dad joined the “newly formed Air Force” way back in the day, and served during Korea. Like one of the back stories, enlisting got him out of poverty with an opportunity for an education and living a middle class life.

46 yrs ago for me, Flt 0520/May-July 1975. Sure have been a lot of changes from the looks of it. Looking forward to the next episode.

In my humble opinion, the USAF recruits people with higher intelligence because the jobs we do require the highest technology. Good luck making your choice, whichever branch you choose. I went in with a guaranteed job. If that program is still available, look into it. Warning: those jobs are usually the ones with the most need/vacancies, so what is a guaranteed job at one time may not be at a later time, depending upon which jobs the USAF needs at any time. They are also more likely to be high-stress jobs. The young man in this video is under the guaranteed job program, and his choice (air traffic control) is THE most high-stress job in civilian life.

I joined the Air Force in 1988. I was going down a bad road and needed to get away from all the bad decisions I was making at the time so the Air Force saved my life. If I can tell any new recruit it would be this. BMT is a 8 week long evaluation to see who can follow instruction. Who can handle stress. The yelling the drill instructors do to each recruit, the impossible tasks they give recruits is for a reason. Everything the drill instructors do is for a reason. So do this. Keep your mouth shut. Listen to what the instructors are saying. Don not volunteer for anything. You are not there to socialize. You are there to learn. Don't think for one second they are picking on you because they are not. Listen listen listen. Do what they say. The inpossible tasks I mentioned are to promote team building because there is no I in team. If you are considering joining any branch of the military and are hesitant of basic training, this applies to all of you. Being a part of something bigger than you is something you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Embrace the horror because what awaits you on the other side is worth every miserable second. Once you complete basic military training, things get alot different and once you complete technical training and enter in to the real Air Force, things will be completely different as far as how you are treated. Remember, it's a game. Basic military training is the first step. Every journey begins with the first step. If I had it to do all over again, I'd do it all over again. You get out of it what you put in to it.

I’m about to talk to a recruiter to Join the air force, I am very excited and nervous. I want to make this my career, I am joining right after high school. I am a little nervous but mostly excited. This is something I really want to do. These videos are very helpful as to what to expect!

Paige, it is normal to be nervous. Suggest you speak with a recruiter to discuss information and options. What is your age, grade in high school and zip code? Ray U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting

Iconic😂 Filmed the day I got to basic. Flight 064 where y’all at?

There is a flashback! Miss all you guys from 064 - 068, but 065 is still the best!

Flight 064!!❤️

30:06 A GOOD ADVISE for teenager or people who are finishing the high school. (the contract time will fly a that age- beside you will have money for the rest of your life even is it a little)

So far… promising. Looking forward to BMT.

The bus ride to Lackland. How people got quieter and quieter the closer to base. Dead quiet past the gate.

Huge decision, but one that will change your life forever.

January 25th I ship out and I’m a wee bit excited

I need like 5 waivers to join, and I’m going to need letters of recommendation and proof that I’m in shape to join, but my recruiter is working with me, and I can’t wait to go to basic. I’m kinda a beast irl and I’m going to smash the PT.

"Bury people standing up." great idea.

hell yeah 075 still top flight of this week group

I'm going to call a recruiter as soon as my birth certificate and social arrive in the mail. I know basic isnt going to be as easy as they portray it to be with the videos but I'm dedicated and willing to fight this fight to serve this country. Its 8.5 weeks of hell yea, but once you look back on it it's like you were having fun the entire time. Most people dont realize training isnt your biggest challenge in the military, only the starting challenge. If you can pass training, you can withstand hell.

Brandon, to help you prepare and get started. Pre Basic Military Training (BMT) 14 Week Work out plan (please consult your doctor before working out). Recommend being at or close to the BMT PT graduation level before you go to BMT. Always stretch and hydrate before and after exercising. Download a training schedule to help prepare you. www.airforce.com/pdf/BMT_Training.pdf Ray U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting

being a free diver I could hold my breath for 5 min. I was a CCT for 12 years.

SHOUT OUT TO ALL SINGLE MOTHERS OUT THERE! You raised a strong a child or children. The U.S. Air Force will make these kids future leaders of America, if they choose the right path.

This is so powerful!

Really wish I had gone in at 18 and made it a career, I really miss my Air Force days I'd go back if I could.

I fly out on the 24th of April. Pretty excited 🤙

Go open electronic instead of general if you have to.

watching this cause i’m planning on joining the air force next year and this is really hyping me up.

Space saving! That's an oddly clever idea

my cousin just left for boot camp yesterday and i pray he makes it through

We have been fighting this same war from when I first joined.

A week away and my stomach is in knots but I'm so excited

You were in week 3-4 as I read this. I hope time will fly by for you. Good luck!

i feel like adventure is in my blood and the air force is calling me

My only small complaint about this video, it could've been edited down some. Theres just extra time/shots that don't REALLY need to be here. I went in in 2012 (at age 26 mind you), out in 2017. Basic was weird/kinda disappointing for me. Physically, I thought high school football camp was harder. I thought we'd get to shoot more than just like 30 min. Didn't get to stick fight either because of BLACK FLAG (we were BEGGING the TIs to let us...this was the biggest disappointment for me) and part of the obstacle course was closed because of rains/flooding! Like others have said, most fun I never want to have again lol

Would be nice to see a field training one

I can’t believe it’s been nearly 20 years since I went through!

I can't wait to apply to the usafa, it's all so exciting!

We didn’t have pull ups as a requirement to be able to enter the Air Force. They had it far and few at PT, but never something that was stressed to be able to do. Guess this must be something added later. Edit: same with the sit-ups. It was never hands behind out head, back breaking 90 degrees. It was hands crossed on out shoulders, elbows touch knees. Edit edit: never mind I just realized they’re doing training for special operations career.
