This is a picnic compared to Army and Marine boot camps. A simple fact. But that said. Different jobs, different goals.

Great video. I was a cadet for four years in the Civil Air Patrol. Most of our guys went to the Air Force Academy. I didn't have the grades and enlisted in the Army, that was a great experience also.

I respect every single one of you who have chosen to serve. Thank God for you.

The funny part are those who say that they should have attended the AF academy instead of Marine Corp boot camp. It is true the academy would be a lot easier until they actually went to the science and engineering classes. At that point, I think they would prefer to be in Marine Corp boot camp. People forget that they only train for four years to be an officer but are taking four years of STEM classes.

Interesting memories....... I had joined the regular Air Force in 1957, just out of high school, and was stationed in Denver, where I watched the first two classes of cadets at the temporary academy. I learned that each geographical area of the regular air force could send up to 6 airmen to the Academy if they passed the entrance tests... and I did, and I was accepted into the class of 1961. But I really just wanted out of the Air Force, I was fed up and wanted to go back to college and civilian life, so I did two years at the Academy and then quit. I had started rebelling, especially towards a Captain who was over us, who was called 'Baby Jesus' because his name was B. J. Ellis, who gave me many demerits and hours walking 'tours' for my rebellion, and I left then after two years of quality education and a nice summer trip to Europe. And now, having just turned 83 years old I still have no regrets at leaving, as I realized that you were required to give up your soul when you signed up for military service........

Peace! Thank You for this documentary. Very interesting. București, România, EU

Such great kids! God bless each one of them! Thanks for you willingness to fight for our FREEDOM and our Home! I choose to stand behind them and all of our branches of the Military all the way! I come from a family of Military background! So to those who continue to put our precious service men and women down.....theres only one place for you! Either stand behind them or you stand in front of them! GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! God Bless The USA!

I remember every year Air Force Cadets would come to the Air Force base I was at. They'd visit the bomber tanker alert facility and we'd always announce over the intercom that Zoomie hunting season had started. I think back now and realize that nearly all those cadets have long since retired if like me they became lifers.

If you don't have an elite Air Force providing air support, cyber security, analytics, and medical support you'd be at a major disadvantage in this day and age. Call them soft all you want, but these Air Force Officer Cadets and the equipment they're going to operate when they graduate are among the most valuable assets in any modern military.

That place is gorgeous.

I my self have great respect for these men and women of today my Grandfather was a Command Sargent major and Trainer pilot in the Army Air Corps. God Bless These Young Men and Women and Thank You All for your Service.

Oh man. I really miss in processing day! Fun to watch.

As US Army veteran all I can say is this training is like ROTC and living in barracks like in condo and they have luxuRy bus...aiR force cadets was so lucky

Maybe just because I was enlisted and subsequently an NCO… But the candidates and cadre in this video are adorable.

Most of you putting these kids and USAFA down could never get accepted to USAFA, West Point, Annapolis, Coast Guard Academy nor the Merchant Marine Academy let alone handle what they do to be at these places. You realize that these academies are schools, don't you? I guarantee that this video does NOT show everything that they have to do nor the stress they go through. But if it makes you feel better about yourself to put down these college students (this is a college), by all means, keep at it.

Alright. Let's talk about something people don't put this into their heads. I would like to Join the Air Force one day (This might be the case within 3 years) For you to even get accepted. You have to pass the acdemics part. There is a certain test that keeps crossing my mind that you have to pass. (I forgot the name will put it in later!) Then it's training. The PT is not as hard as others (but still is HARD) and you have to physically fit to do so. Also! The AF doesn't reply as much as the other branches. Which is probably why they don't get trained as hard and more of just play team based games to work on communication and teamwork along with effort. Then (I imagine) you split off into more. Cyber security or Jet Pilot. Cyber security you have to pass literally everything and be as organized as ever! If your late, or missing something. You just put a huge dent in trying to be part of cyber security. As for flying Jets. That takes YEARS! (Again I imagine) you don't even get INTO a Jet until you've been taught about everything! The Navy is always 24/7 on a boat. And barely home ever. Army is always deployed when their is a situation. 3000 more families were separated a couple weeks ago and deployed to Iran. The Marines are always almost as deployed as much as the Navy. The coast guard is sortof a watch point position and calls other branches when their is a problem. Air Force is Probably the Smartest/Least deployed Branch. But y'all talking about other branches and calling them trash as if they are a whole nother army for a whole nother country. Just fucking stop. Why do y'all have to get me (who is probably younger than some of you watching) to tell grown ass adults how to act on the INTERNET
