I attended Embry-Riddle.. why didn’t he join the USAF? As far as basic training, keep your mouth shut, do as your told without questions, and don’t volunteer for anything!
Good, sound, advice! I presume he will train at Ft Leonard Wood. The mud down there is legend. It adheres to your boots as you march so that your tread size keeps increasing and your boots rapidly gain weight. Nothing for it but to keep on keeping on. Six weeks is not an eternity although it can seem like one.
