Air Force

[BIGDUBBDEISEL]

Dous anyone know if it is possable to lift weights during the 6 week basic training? And what kind of food they serve, Thanks...

[King Crush]

I was thinking the Air Force too. Probably the best branch of the millitary to fit in with a serious lifting routine.

nope, no lifting weights during basic. just pushups and running. you can start lifting again in tech school

the food isn't bad, it's actually good when you have time to taste it. 95% of the time you have to swallow everything as fast as you can and chug down your drinks all in about 3 minutes.

pm me if you have any other AF questions

yep, my brother told me about that, haha. he also said he didnt feel like lifting weights during basic.

Yeah man it was pretty decent...but you have to sit, eat, and get up lol.

After bmt though, you're pretty much free to do what you want (some restrictions on tech school but not that many).

even if you felt like lifting, you can't.

you're not allowed to go to the gym.... your whole day is pretty much pre-planned by your TI.

[dangoody27]

Well you get a couple of "free" days at the end of training so if you wanted to you can do it the end possibly.

you will truly be dedicated to lifting if you choose to use your free days to go to the gym..... instead of seeing family or exploring San Antonio.... haha

thats ****ty they dont even learn attention to detail now...
what do you learn in bmt for the air force?? every airmen i know said they didnt do **** but fold **** and do drill every once in a while. whats the point of doing it at all? they could send airmen straight to mos school and they would be just fine, its not like they learn any real combat oriented stuff at bmt. ive never seen anybody have a life changing experience from air force bmt

[SDFlip]

Spoiled bastards.

yeah, we even had dessert.

[stuckhere500000]

yeah, we even had dessert.

WTF!!! if we even looked at the ice cream machine you didnt get to eat chow at all!!!

you're just mad because you didn't score high enough on the ASVAB to be called an Airman

[dangoody27]

do you work at the NOSC?

Yea....why???

[stuckhere500000]

you're just mad because you didn't score high enough on the ASVAB to be called an Airman

i would rather gouge out my heart with a rusty bayonett then to be called an airman.

Not anymore...they're extending BMT 2 weeks for more combat oriented training.

[SDFlip]

it wasn't ice cream.... it was cheesecake.....strawberry

[dangoody27]

i would rather gouge out my heart with a rusty bayonett then to be called an airman.

Come on now man, we're all on the same team here.

[SDFlip]

Yea....why???

do you know Galen Brown?..... i used to have to deal with that guy on the phone and i wanted to go TDY to Langley just so I could punch that motherfukker in the face.

[stuckhere500000]

Not anymore...they're extending BMT 2 weeks for more combat oriented training.

so will you actually have to hit the target to graduate now or will they just let you shoot your 50 rounds anywhere like usual?

[SDFlip]

i would rather gouge out my heart with a rusty bayonett then to be called an airman.

yeah, me, too.... that's why people call me Staff Sergeant.

[stuckhere500000]

Come on now man, we're all on the same team here.

we may be on the same team but there is nothing in this world that is greater than being a United States Marine

[dangoody27]

do you know Galen Brown?..... i used to have to deal with that guy on the phone and i wanted to go TDY to Langley just so I could punch that motherfukker in the face.

HAHAHA....yea he is still here. I can punch him if you want me to.

I sent you a PM.

[SDFlip]

so will you actually have to hit the target to graduate now or will they just let you shoot your 50 rounds anywhere?

i think we just need to know how to pull the trigger.....

[SDFlip]

yeah, Jarhead was a pretty cool movie. I saw that at our new base theater.

[stuckhere500000]

well theres pulling and then theres jerking. 95% of airmen couldnt tell you what jerking the trigger meant or what it would do to your round. this is my point, EVERY SERVICE needs combat training like the Marines have, that way everyone is trained to fight and can bear the load if need be. im not trying to be harsh but i wouldnt want an airmen next to me in combat (excluding para-rescue/combat weather).
