The newest member of the UNITED STATES AIRFORCE!!! I have a meeting tuesday to find out when I leave. Im going to be a arieal gunner in the pave hawk i believe. Can anybody in the airforce fill me in on what im gonna need to exspect for basic?? Any help will greatly be appreciated. <----- damn sure glad to be a free american!!!!

 

Sleep in until about 0900, buffet breakfast, arts and crafts, picnic lunch, mid afternoon nap, then a movie and popcorn and then sleepy time. That should cover it.

 

Ouch thats pretty harsh ... im not doing it to take the easy way out all my family has ever been in the airforce. Im really stoked about going.

 

didn't it get extended to 8weeks or was that a rumor?

 

Being a Marine...I had to do it.

Honestly....Good luck and have fun.

 

wtf? how long is air force basic?

 

Atleast you dont have to worry about folding clothes....just roll them up and throw them in the drawer...

From what Ive heard, its still 6 weeks.. They were thinkin about extended warrior week to 2 weeks but chances are that its not going to happen...

 

holy **** I picked the wrong branch

 

Good luck in the air force. My sister's boyfriend is an airman in Germany right now. He told me the arts and craft time was the ****. I think my sister has a sweater he made.

 

Navy boot camp was pretty easy, but I've heard from other people in the Air Force that boot camp there is like a vacation.

 

My boot camp division RCPO in boot told me that airforce boot wasnt to hard. about the same as navy minus a few.

Sailor..Lol I had orders to Norfolk but they where changed to Mayport Florida

Whats your rating?

 

i leave in august for air force basic they extended it to 7 weeks now...and not so much how to fold your underwear and stuff like that they redirected it a bit...we get m-16s now

 

I'm an AE currently, but heading to Pensacola to crossrate to AC. What about you?

 

Im in the quick ship program i find out when i leave tuesday. Im going for either a aerial gunner or combat control. I wanna kick some ***.

 

Combat controllers are Kickass. Most of my buddies that are in Security Forces like me are combat controller washouts but they are planning to go back in a few months. The training has a very high washout rate so make sure that you are in shape and that you can "adapt and overcome. Aerial gunner was my one of my 5 choices. If you cant get that make sure that you dont have an "open general". You will be like me, a friggin cop...

 

The test that i have to take is that before or after basic? (or inbetween) 1.5 mile run in under 11:30 mins =

 

AF baisc is a joke the hardest part was folding your clothes and now that thats gone it has to be a total breeze and as for your run you had to pass that by 4th week when i was there which was right before warrior week which was also a joke

 

bwaahhhh hahahah if you cant make that now you need to beat feet NOW.

 

I think you are talking about the FAST test. Its not just a 1.5 mile run, it also consist of swimming and other things. Im not sure but I know they're more evaluations to cover..

 

yeah no kidding, I bet most combat controllers can run that in like 8min...hell my lazy *** can run it in 12min
