What I told my nephew, who wanted to go Army like his uncle(me), be hardcore and go Marines, but your candy-behind better go Air Force, with no offense meant to the Air Force Personal, it’s just was my conception on basic training several years ago.
And on second thought I now advise the younger folks, go get a 2 year college degree, and then if you still want to go in the service, go. Then, if and when you get out you’ll only need 2 more years of college for a 4 year degree.
Good luck gentlemen, and thank God there are brave men and women who do serve!
When I was in Basic in 1974 Air Force P.T. Was No cake walk.We had to run a mile and a half on a concrete Running track in combat boots.
I’ll tell you,I thought that damn run would kill me and I was on my track and field team running the 1 and 2 mile runs.
Today the guys train in sneakers and sweats.They seem to have it much better then we did then.
