I was stationed at Fort Carson in the Army. It is just south of the Air Force Academy. They would have us enlisted men race the cadets through the Air Force obstacle course. It was a brutal obstacle course, but a lot of fun for us Army boys. We beat them every time.

To be fair though. Only your higher ranking airmen would be infantry and they would get more training. The airforce focuses more on communications, intelligence, and other more technical fields. Their training doesnt require as much of the grueling stress that the marines do. It seems soft but its because what they mostly do doesnt require the hardcore psychological teardown and rebuild that the marines do.

I went through basic on Parris Island [1973]. As we were standing on the yellow footprints, a DI screamed in the face of a really big guy to my right. The big guy decked the DI. As in, knocked him out. Took four DIs to finally subdue the big guy. There was softer talking going on, before he simmered down.
@@chrislasalle2601 But they'll outrank all drill instructors the moment they graduate the academy, right? I'm not in the military but that's how I always understood it.
My father remembers his training in the Royal Air Force, and how tough the early "boot camp" phase was, and then how much he actually enjoyed the navigation training in fast jets and the sense that "yes, this is what I have dreamed of".
They seemed pretty rough back then from what I heard. Although it probably differs between officers and NCOs. A mate of mine was in the RAF as a mechanic from 1977 to 2011. He told me a story one time during training where they were doing rifle training lying down, and one guy next to him who wasn't particularly strong used the sand as a support for his rifle but got sand in the barrel. He fired a round that made the barrel explode and a shrapnel nearly hit my mate. And the instructor well, beated the shit out of him with a golf club.
@@tri3852 absolutely not true, that did not happen. Especially not if he was in the RAF. No one was beaten with a golf club, no one’s rifle exploded. If his rifle had exploded with enough force to hit the guy next to him with shrapnel, there wouldn’t be enough left of his face to be beaten with a golf club. And do you honestly think the instructors randomly carry golf clubs around with them incase someone screws up? 😂😂
@@Jimmythefish577 I said "a mate of mine" but if your point is that he made it up I can understand that. But also do you not consider that *some* instructors, despite having been taught to instruct a certain way, would in the absence of a superior officer to keep them in check take a certain kind of liberty to do somethings their own way, like the one I mentioned? And that there are also such things as incidents that go unrecorded? But that's just me.
This video is for the Air Force Academy, the kids who get to go there could get into Harvard easily. Edit: The kids who can get into Marine BMT can get in eating crayons

You people need to understand that these arent drill instructors they're upperclassmen cadets. Going through USAFA as a cadet is significantly different from being through basic as a recruit.
Each service branch has its customs & traditions, but this is the most relaxed training I’ve seen. Then again as a Marine (respect to all the intelligent) for still service.
you do realize it is the Academy. like West Point or Annapolis and NOT Air Force Basic Training. and so what if the Air Force TIs dont yell and jump up and down and act the fool like the DI videos i see...
Yeah, like abidnego said, this is Air Force Academy, which is in Colorado, for officers. So it's more laidback. For enlisted, it's in Lackland, Texas. I went through Lackland in April 1990, 3706 BTMS. All the drill sergeants, in my flight, & other flights were constantly yelling & getting in everyone's face. Going to chow was the worst, as you had to pass 3-5 of them all watching you.

@@johnj3027 They need enlisted instructors to really nail it. Don't West Point and the Naval Academy have large E instructor cadres there to break 'em down?
It gives those upper classmen cadets a chance to continue developing their own organizational and leadership skills, at the very least. It also helps instill the sense of chain of command in the military. There's a reason
@Bence M.S. I would. All this cinema is ridiculous. That's not how you teach future military personnel. No wonder the US armies, at some exceptions, have some of the worst soldiers compared to other west world countries.
As soon as they take the oath, it is not so nice anymore. It’s only nice for about an hour and then it gets a lot harder once you get to the lines before the bus
@@krisanneconrad706 Exactly, when the bus stopped at Lackland, the drill Sgt, quickly boarded the bus screaming, "Get off the f###### bus", and the yelling never stopped until you left basic.
Air Force holds a special place in my heart. My dad was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force base and due to that he met my mom. Also had two uncles stationed there and me my mom's sister's
Interesting, differences at our Initial Officer Training (IOT) at RAF College Cranwell, is that all Officer cadets turn up on the first day in suits, business attire, and haircut. Even NCO Training at Cranwell, for NCO Weapons Systems Operator, Training..still turn up in suit. Cheers
That's how all leadership programs go. Any AFROTC detachment has upperclassmen (as300/400) in high up positions as they are further in their leadership training
Agreed, I know it's ostensibly there to develop their leadership, but it's a dumb idea in practice. These people are training to be junior officers - having them prance around trying to emulate NCOs doesn't achieve anything for them, much less for the new trainees who are struggling not to laugh at them (6:05)

21 день тому
yea, all the service academies are tuition free as these cadets receive an appointment to the academy and the cadets are paid $1,200 monthly. evidently 22 yrs dumbed you down as to how this works.
I went into O&G after the military. I can't say much about the yelling part, other than stupid company men and consultants, but there is definitely more sleep deprivation in the field. Lol Never worked 43 hours straight while in the military!
I graduated navy bootcamp a while ago, I find this much more motivating, in my opinion it just seemed like the people who were in charge of us when we first got there were just yelling at us because they were pissed that they had to stay up late
@@Supervillain725 Army infantry here, we fucked with a new guy one time and told him to get us "some grid squares." The dude came back the next day with an entire stack of grid squares he cut out of a map the previous night. Hilarious. Great soldier though, motivated as hell. He was just nervous and didn't want to seem like a shitbag at his first unit.
I'm in the Public Safety Cadets (Police, Sheriff, Fire), and this is similar to our 4-week academy. I was pretty scared in the beginning, but watching this, I can't believe how seriously we took these 20-something year olds at the start of academy. Some of them definitely give off a feeling that they have a superiority complex, just like our Cadet Instructors. Good luck to these guys.
5:09 interesting... the instructor is wearing a German achievment Badge gold class on his right chest. Meaning he was an international cadet at the German Air Force Academy.
I got out of Basic military training for the airforce 2 weeks ago. Watching this video genuinely sends shivers down my spine, sure, I became desensitized to it. But I've been in their shoes, I know what It's like. I hated it, and it terrified me. But, it made me stronger. Thank you AF.
Dog ain't that right. By the time I hit the yellow footprints at like 2 AM I had already been physically assaulted at least 3 times, and verbally assaulted like 500 times. Next thing I knew the 300 of us that made up Kilo Company in 2002 were naked as the Drill Instructors "learned us" how to put our cammies on correctly while running up and down the aisles screaming at you. 16 hours later a shit ton of paperwork, about 10 vaccinations, a few bag nasties in our stomachs, a piss test where the drill instructor is literally watching you piss you get to go to bed for a few hours. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it really started on Friday when you met your real drill instructors who made it their lifes work to punish you for being alive for the next 3 months. All that to earn the title, then to earn the privilege to go to SOI and graduate as a rifleman to finally earn the right to fight your enemy in Iraq. Wouldn't change a thing and I'd do it exactly as I had if I had to do it again. I don't think many nowadays would survive that, and definitely, none in this video would.
Lmao my best friend is in there right now and he said in one of his letters they have no laughing competitions and the first one to laugh has to do like some type of punishment and he says he loses at that game a lot 😂
I went through BMT not too long ago, and we had a group of cadets come through our squadron from about week three to week five, and they were some of the most uncertain and least commanding people I have ever seen and all this video does is confirm why that is.

Not even instructors. They’re cadets.
They are kids… I mean cadets.
@@chrislasalle2601 But they'll outrank all drill instructors the moment they graduate the academy, right? I'm not in the military but that's how I always understood it.
@@dannydonnelly8198 yes, but only a stupid lt would try to belittle a nco
My father remembers his training in the Royal Air Force, and how tough the early "boot camp" phase was, and then how much he actually enjoyed the navigation training in fast jets and the sense that "yes, this is what I have dreamed of".
They seemed pretty rough back then from what I heard. Although it probably differs between officers and NCOs. A mate of mine was in the RAF as a mechanic from 1977 to 2011. He told me a story one time during training where they were doing rifle training lying down, and one guy next to him who wasn't particularly strong used the sand as a support for his rifle but got sand in the barrel. He fired a round that made the barrel explode and a shrapnel nearly hit my mate. And the instructor well, beated the shit out of him with a golf club.
@@tri3852 absolutely not true, that did not happen. Especially not if he was in the RAF. No one was beaten with a golf club, no one’s rifle exploded. If his rifle had exploded with enough force to hit the guy next to him with shrapnel, there wouldn’t be enough left of his face to be beaten with a golf club. And do you honestly think the instructors randomly carry golf clubs around with them incase someone screws up? 😂😂
@@Jimmythefish577 I said "a mate of mine" but if your point is that he made it up I can understand that. But also do you not consider that *some* instructors, despite having been taught to instruct a certain way, would in the absence of a superior officer to keep them in check take a certain kind of liberty to do somethings their own way, like the one I mentioned? And that there are also such things as incidents that go unrecorded? But that's just me.
We had drill sergeants like that during my 1956 UK National Service…..nothing changes much in the military .
This looks incredibly peaceful compared to Marine basic training. Still probably tough as hell though.
The tough part is the academics
This video is for the Air Force Academy, the kids who get to go there could get into Harvard easily.
Edit: The kids who can get into Marine BMT can get in eating crayons
@@ClamorDiGilgamesh I highly disagree, alot of Air Force is dirt stupid and can only repeat the manuals when in that setting.
@@barodrinksbeer7484 Maybe a lot of the airforce, but not a lot of those accepted into the air force academy.
It’s not. The academics are harder than any other branch
There was someone who answered: "Why did you join the army?" Question.
"Too smart to join the marines, too dumb to join the air force."
Sums it up.
Does that mean that the marines has lowest requirements for their applicants? I'm not from the U.S btw
@@human9458 Neither am I. This is just a joke I heard from the internet. General consensus believes that Marines are the brawns, airforce is the brain, and army is somewhere in between. Oh and the navy is gay. 😂

Something tells me you don't know a single thing about the military if youre making comments like this lmaooo.
You people need to understand that these arent drill instructors they're upperclassmen cadets. Going through USAFA as a cadet is significantly different from being through basic as a recruit.
And wearing a mask
Somwhere after watching this a marine drill instructor is trying to laugh
yea
But completely disgusted at the amount of smiling by cadets
Officer: where are the tears coming from
Person :eye sir
Each service branch has its customs & traditions, but this is the most relaxed training I’ve seen. Then again as a Marine (respect to all the intelligent) for still service.
you do realize it is the Academy. like West Point or Annapolis and NOT Air Force Basic Training. and so what if the Air Force TIs dont yell and jump up and down and act the fool like the DI videos i see...
Yeah, like abidnego said, this is Air Force Academy, which is in Colorado, for officers. So it's more laidback. For enlisted, it's in Lackland, Texas. I went through Lackland in April 1990, 3706 BTMS. All the drill sergeants, in my flight, & other flights were constantly yelling & getting in everyone's face. Going to chow was the worst, as you had to pass 3-5 of them all watching you.
The yelling is to practice getting 4.9 star service at a hotel.
Maybe 5 star too?

To all, thank you for your service
So basically you carry luggage and get yelled at. Why not just work at a hotel?
Toilet

Shampoo
So I'm guessing the cadre starter pack comes with free ray bans
i think they get them early on as cadets, my dad was in the airforce and he got gold aviators early on in his service
"Cadre starter pack..."🤣🤣🤣👍
We don’t get them issued but when everyone else is wearing Oakleys and Ray-Bans you also think might as well and get a pair for yourself.
@@Charles-wz9sd oh, my mistake, this happens in the Pakistani Air Force. Usually pilots get American Optical Aviators but sometimes engineers get them too.
@@Charles-wz9sd found a lot of similarities in the training routine here, in our academy too lol.
Rule number one : before joining the military, leave your girlfriend.
Reason 1: She might cheat on you
Reason 2: God is cliche enough to have you die either first or last
Leave your brain and fredom.
I am a witness to this comment.
Tbh it's always best to break ties when you enlist
Just like me
I broke up with my ex not too long ago
I couldn't handle her
She was just too much to handle
And the military is my future
And I value my future more than some relationship
So does being cheated on turn every military guy into a cheater because that was my experience

@@johnj3027 They need enlisted instructors to really nail it. Don't West Point and the Naval Academy have large E instructor cadres there to break 'em down?
It gives those upper classmen cadets a chance to continue developing their own organizational and leadership skills, at the very least. It also helps instill the sense of chain of command in the military. There's a reason

"Don't look at the ground, it's not going anywhere!" - Epic!
This is downright comical. Like watching a bunch of Barney Fife’s as the cadre.
I knew this was going to be funny right off the bat when the instructor did his little jump in the air.

I was Airborne Infantry. This isn't even funny to me. It's like a bad joke. They expect you to laugh, but you're just disappointed.
I don’t understand why it’s so peaceful on their first day. For marines the second you arrive you’re already getting yelled at even through processing
Because it’s an officer school I doubt enlistees are treated as nicely
Enlisted Air Force BMT we were yelled at the moment they found us at the air port get on the bus to go to lackland
As soon as they take the oath, it is not so nice anymore. It’s only nice for about an hour and then it gets a lot harder once you get to the lines before the bus
@@krisanneconrad706 Exactly, when the bus stopped at Lackland, the drill Sgt, quickly boarded the bus screaming, "Get off the f###### bus", and the yelling never stopped until you left basic.
Remember officers have it easy across all branches.
“They’re probably a little thrown back.”

Giving upperclassman the power to run basic training? That’s sounds like a power trip in action
@Space Face Unfortunately, power trip.
That's how all leadership programs go. Any AFROTC detachment has upperclassmen (as300/400) in high up positions as they are further in their leadership training
Agreed, I know it's ostensibly there to develop their leadership, but it's a dumb idea in practice.
These people are training to be junior officers - having them prance around trying to emulate NCOs doesn't achieve anything for them, much less for the new trainees who are struggling not to laugh at them (6:05)
I didn’t experience any power tripping. Cadre were tough but fair.

I'm in the Public Safety Cadets (Police, Sheriff, Fire), and this is similar to our 4-week academy. I was pretty scared in the beginning, but watching this, I can't believe how seriously we took these 20-something year olds at the start of academy. Some of them definitely give off a feeling that they have a superiority complex, just like our Cadet Instructors. Good luck to these guys.

Dog ain't that right. By the time I hit the yellow footprints at like 2 AM I had already been physically assaulted at least 3 times, and verbally assaulted like 500 times. Next thing I knew the 300 of us that made up Kilo Company in 2002 were naked as the Drill Instructors "learned us" how to put our cammies on correctly while running up and down the aisles screaming at you. 16 hours later a shit ton of paperwork, about 10 vaccinations, a few bag nasties in our stomachs, a piss test where the drill instructor is literally watching you piss you get to go to bed for a few hours. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it really started on Friday when you met your real drill instructors who made it their lifes work to punish you for being alive for the next 3 months. All that to earn the title, then to earn the privilege to go to SOI and graduate as a rifleman to finally earn the right to fight your enemy in Iraq. Wouldn't change a thing and I'd do it exactly as I had if I had to do it again. I don't think many nowadays would survive that, and definitely, none in this video would.
