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...

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.

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...

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

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..
