I spent 20 years in the USAF. This wasn’t a promotion. It was an honorarium. The ceremonial “rope” in this case was awarded to show recognition of doing a good job as a “Flight Leader” in Technical school. The person receiving the Yellow Rope was there to attend school just like the others he was inspecting. When he graduates, the rope comes off and gets returned to the Staff Sergeant that awarded it. As I said, not really a promotion, but cause for congratulations for doing an outstanding job.
Excellent job Airmen. Great leadership Ssgt Lopez. Thank you all for your service. Best of luck on your careers as I’m watching this 7 years after it was posted. Believe it or not, you ALL will remember this time in your Air Force careers. It WILL make you better people. Trust me. I’m old and wiser now. Nice job.
I’m a Marine veteran...much respect to the Air Force. I’m a “ winger” Marine from Futenma...enjoyed my time @ Kadena, and Misawa... different branch, yet important...!
I used to go to the night clubs there. Camp Hansen was freaking boring and all we did was train. Went to the Recon camp, I forgot the name, and we actually did a formation BUT RIGHT ON THE WATER like recon does...
I'm in army JROTC and when we move from one cadet to the next during inspection we say ”Ready, step" and step to the next cadet but how these guys do it in the air force is just awesome!!! I've never seen that before. This is the coolest thing to me for some reason
Neither have I, and I did a lot of inspections as a Law Enforcement Supervisor and Superintendent during my 27 years in the AF. Perhaps it is something new?
Not being disrespectful, I'm an German guard so I like ,,inspecting" and comparing different countries drill since it's mostly based on ours so it's cool to see the similarities. So like my critic or just question I don't know obviously. Is that look slight face to the ground correct? We're supposed to raise our head lightly, push out the breast and pull in the stomach and tense all muscles. This looks more replaxed but is it the bad performing or did they do good an it's just regulated like that? Also kinda cool to see the huge difference in fall in and fall out. In our way we run into formation and fix the lines on our own then left to right everyone counts and while doing it jumps into eyes front and ease. For an ,,normal" fall out we do an high step to the front and are free to go. The ceremonial fall out is runing away as fast as possible together. Also the caps, we do wear them with the visor two fingers above the eyebrown if to low we'll get disciplined. Also what do those cords mean? Wtf is that text long wtf did the army do to me
The ropes are Airmen leaders. They promote from green rope, yellow to red. In a squad there will only be one red in charge of the other yellow and green ropes. They should lead by example and be top performers in their squadron and technical school. I once had the honor of becoming a red rope myself.
So great to see this, i wish i could remember the things that went on every day training. I was one of the smallest in the flight. There were no women then. 20 then 78 now.

We had a short dorm chief in Basic, always sounding off! I was in charge of the laundry for the first two weeks, and it was one of the only things I heard before basic that was true, laundry got you out of so much stuff! Night classes. Safety codes, etc... So two weeks into Basic (circa 1973) I was told to REPORT to the TI. That meant knock on the door frame, march in and square up in front of the TI's desk, and say "Airman Basic My-ass-is-grass, reporting as ordered. I was told the dorm chief and two squad leaders were being demoted and I was to be a squad leader for one dorm squad and one marching squad, not the same squad. That made no sense and I liked being in the laundry, and said so! I had to keep from laughing, and I think the TI did too, as he told me "Did I ask what you wanted to do? It went on for a while and I became a dual squad leader until graduation. Got to tech school and they ask who had been a squad or dorm chiefs in basic. I was told NOT to raise my hand! I listened again. Next day the squadron red rope asked to talk to me. NOT REPORT! I walked in, and asked what I could do for him? Same speech, different day! Turned out my specialty wouldn't allow me to take on outside duties! So I learned to play golf in north Texas in the winter and early spring and went on to a short 4 years as a medical person. The rest is history!
I was stuck being a dorm chief during basic and decided not to be a rope in my 2 tech schools as I didn't want to babysit anyone . I had more fun. But, more power to you if that's what you liked. I ended up serving 22 years, retiring in 2004.
I realize it's the Air Force but damn. They sounded weak when they counted off. Maybe some pushups/flutter kicks will get them motivated. ;) Thanks for sharing. A big thanks to ALL service members for their service! (MSgt retired. ARMY 92 -2003, USAF 2003 - 2012 )
Great, but little low environment as if it's a mourning ceremony instead of a celebration. I am not trying to disrespect American traditions. But, If watch in Indian Army, it's just so much more wholesome and loud, as if a bunch of lions are roaring. The voice of Instructors there is a testimonial to their rigour. Truly, awakening.

Ok 2 questions. (Irish Arty here) why is the corporal addressing the Sgt as sir? And 2nd what's with the John Wayne sidestep thing they do moving down the line??
conal dolan In the Air Force (not any other branches), enlistedmen often refer to each other as "Sir/Ma'am" regardless of rank. And the side step is an Air Force thing too I believe; other branches just right/left face.
My father was Air Force and Navy, my grandfather Air Force, all my Uncle's (my dad's bothers) Air Force (5 in total). I have cousins in the Marines, Air Force, and Navy. The lack of respect for ANY branch of service is absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed for even thinking the words you've typed! Each branch serves a purpose, and each branch helps the other achieve goals to protect our country to the best of their ability. Not one single person could do the job of all the men and women who train, give up a "normal" life, who risk their lives, who fight to protect yours and who have died doing so. I've heard a lot of cowards talk a big game they could NEVER back up. Anyone willing to speak ill of our military, you are cowards that couldn't muster the balls to do half of what they do. If you don't feel you can respect them then keep moving past these videos without your ignorant comments! If you think you can do better than they can, prove it and until that time comes keep your mouth shut, don't disrespect my family and friends or others family and friends who do more in a day than most of your sorry asses do in a lifetime! To all the men and women that serve our country, I really wish there were better words to express my gratitude and respect, for now I'd like to thank you! Thank you to all those who have, do and will serve in our military! God Bless and stay safe! I'm a very proud daughter of a man who fought right up to the day he died!
dolphins blu anyone with a brain would realize that the word sarcasm has a definite role to play in my comment , I respect all branches of the service but the air force is known for having only two paths while enlisting.... ice cream to the left , promotions to the right devil dog for FUCKING LIFE
Why did the command parade rest look like someone said to stand at ease? Shouldn't their hands be in the small of the back with fingers extended, thumbs interlocked, right hand on top of left? Is this an Ar Force thing?
Generally, parade rest is supposed to be hands in the small of the back. But my time in taught me that as long as your hands aren't to your sides, or flailing about like you're in some sort of charge. NCO's could give a fuck where you put your hands.
Air Force regulation states that the hands are below the small of the back. All other branches, yes that would be correct, but for the AF it's a lil different. They were doing it correctly.
@@joseplasencia3490 Perhaps they knew the Navy was nearby. ZING. But yes, that's how we do it in the Air Force. Not sure why, it just is. I'd actually prefer doing it the other way, the way we do it hurts my shoulders, now. Too many push ups for too many years.
I don't see the big deal about what's so bad about the airforce I'm going to join when I'm older I want to be a pilot. just remember the airforce has all those spy planes and other bad ass planes the other branches don't have.
Noah Ward actually the Navy has significant air power as well. Not to mention that naval aviation is easily forward deployable due to the flexibility of aircraft carriers in the sea. The other branches also have their own breed of dominance in the sky. The Airforce doesnt have the only "force in the air" is what I'm saying.
I hate to ruin your day, but we don't have that many spy planes anymore. All satellites now. There are still some planes, for when you need something where satellites aren't, and you need it now, but mostly it's all gone satellite.
Robin Mitchell when inspecting a flight/platoon the leader of the group salutes the inspector, officer or not because that’s the procedure/formality in an inspection
I was USAF in the 90s and we looked SO much better. OMFG what is up with their uniforms? Did they not iron them and or take them out of a hamper to put on? They look like garage all of them. I would give them all an F- right now.
We always refer to our superiors as sir, in fact I call pretty much everybody sir, regardless of rank. The salute bit is simply part of the open ranks drill. It’s the only time we salute NCOs.
I spent a good portion of my life in the Canadian Military. We have a standing joke that if someone called me “Sir” I would. Respond, call me. Warrant officer, I work for a living.. I do recognize that WOs in the USA have a divergent rank status than Canadians. The salute and the designation Sir is only given to commissioned officers and the rank of Chief warrant officer is the only non commissioned rank deserving of the use of “Sir¨. Τthanks for responding
Questions that must be answered! Why were they moving slower than molasses on a cold winter's day/slower than 2 grannies fucking when told to fall in? Why did the guy at the end "break his ankles" when doing facing movements? Why did the inspecting NCOs(?) waddle like penguins during the inspection, rather than doing the proper facing movements? Much cringe
That's because they only got 13 hours of sleep the night before this inspection at 11:30 a.m. They've been up since 10:00 a.m, give them a break, you heathen!
I always though ( usmc here) ... Open ranks ..thr reason you face and extend arms was to line up ..why this guy. ( E3? ) had to take so long forming them
What are you, army? Yeah, of course. Parade is the best thing you guys could do which (may be) no one could. The country cannot rely on your brain, can it?
To me this is ridicules... I Went to Marine Boot Camp at Parris Island in 1981 and much later I joined the Air Force. I never had to go to Air Force Basic Training. Marine Boot Camp was much more demanding... I Retired from the Air Force after serving 11 years there. 10 years US Marine Corps Active duty. 21 years total service in 2 branches...
A10PANG I just picked up my PRC 77 and called in artillery. Always afraid the . birdmen would mistake us for the enemy. Besides we never had time to wait on the Air Force, I mean them having to put their marbles away before going to work...lol
When I did the rope thing none of this would have been acceptable. Everyone has their hat covering their face. Movements were sloppy at best. Saluting an enlisted person????? Well was that really even saluting? So You Think You Can Dance style facing movements. Random people filming during open ranks inspection? When I got yellow and red ropes it wasn't during open ranks either. Green= lead flights, Yellow = lead/run floors(dorm), Red= lead/run dorm, Senior Red = run all dorms. So when I got yellow it was in front of the entire floor, and red was in front of the entire dorm. I see things have changed.
This is great. The air force can drill 100 times better then the army. As a Marine it needs allot of work, but it’s so much better then watching army videos
@Gen .Stephen Townsend Good morning General, thankyou all is well this side of the world being New Zealand. Take care and best of luck to you and yours
Yes, we only had "Ropes" in Tech school. Green is for lowest "Student Leader", a hall of students perhaps, Yellow is for the whole floor. Ours had 4 halls. Red Rope is for the Whole building. Blue rope is the actual School leaders. It was good stuff for growing leaders; but only applied in the dorms outside of the school setting.
Andre villar it’s strictly for the inspection itself, common practice. This is under AETC so it’s different. With MTLs/NCOs they would typically get inspected by an Officer, but for the purpose of this inspection for their rope program, the CO is the NCO.
I spent 20 years in the USAF. This wasn’t a promotion. It was an honorarium. The ceremonial “rope” in this case was awarded to show recognition of doing a good job as a “Flight Leader” in Technical school.

The salute and the designation Sir is only given to commissioned officers and the rank of Chief warrant officer is the only non commissioned rank deserving of the use of “Sir¨. Τthanks for responding
Questions that must be answered! Why were they moving slower than molasses on a cold winter's day/slower than 2 grannies fucking when told to fall in? Why did the guy at the end "break his ankles" when doing facing movements? Why did the inspecting NCOs(?) waddle like penguins during the inspection, rather than doing the proper facing movements? Much cringe
Why the guidon keep looking his feet when he Do right/left face?
They all seem to be half-asleep...
Integrity is a key trait until you realize you have more integrity then the AF as a whole.
That's because they only got 13 hours of sleep the night before this inspection at 11:30 a.m.
They've been up since 10:00 a.m, give them a break, you heathen!
I fell asleep half way. Most boring video of the week
@@firefrank1313
🤣🤣🤣
Ain't that the damn truth.
@@Jenn-sy5qh If i had the money the AF has, Id prefer a Airman like you. Someone that actually understands integrety is rare.
Now I know why in '73 I took an early out after being drafted, what a waste of time, for chicken shit procedures. SP,Clark, nam and Malmstrom, chau
A unit...
I always though ( usmc here) ...
Open ranks ..thr reason you face and extend arms was to line up ..why this guy. ( E3? ) had to take so long forming them
If our unit paraded as bad as this we would be on parade ground all day
What are you, army? Yeah, of course. Parade is the best thing you guys could do which (may be) no one could. The country cannot rely on your brain, can it?
should've yelled cover after that close ranks
To me this is ridicules... I Went to Marine Boot Camp at Parris Island in 1981 and much later I joined the Air Force. I never had to go to Air Force Basic Training. Marine Boot Camp was much more demanding... I Retired from the Air Force after serving 11 years there. 10 years US Marine Corps Active duty. 21 years total service in 2 branches...
WTF was that? A yellow rope? Does it come with a pink tutu? Air Force is very strange!
You are geat to do this all
Rope of colors is to be worn with class A uniform, not fatigues
Wrong airforce tech schoolers were the ropes with abus or ocps
Why are NCOs saluting NCOs?
When did Sgt get addressed as sir
When the sergeant says otherwise or permits it
It’s not rude to call anyone of rank in the Air Force by sir or m’am.
Is this necessary?
😂😂 at 01:50- 01:53 why didn’t he just do a left flank ? 😂
Love all the anti Air Force comments. Bet ya ain't saying them when you're pinned down and you're calling in the Hand of God for cover!
A10PANG I just picked up my PRC 77 and called in artillery. Always afraid the . birdmen would mistake us for the enemy. Besides we never had time to wait on the Air Force, I mean them having to put their marbles away before going to work...lol
I call in artillery. U.S. Army can sustain itself.
If I'm calling the hand of God it sure as hell ain't gonna be the damn chair force and especially not this platoon
Every hranch talks shit about each other and if you say you haven't then your absolutely wrong and need immediate remedial pt
Andy S well it’s a good thing pilots aren’t enlisted isn’t it?
When I did the rope thing none of this would have been acceptable. Everyone has their hat covering their face. Movements were sloppy at best. Saluting an enlisted person????? Well was that really even saluting? So You Think You Can Dance style facing movements.
Random people filming during open ranks inspection? When I got yellow and red ropes it wasn't during open ranks either. Green= lead flights, Yellow = lead/run floors(dorm), Red= lead/run dorm, Senior Red = run all dorms. So when I got yellow it was in front of the entire floor, and red was in front of the entire dorm. I see things have changed.
Weak salute from the SSgt
It is not "Open ranks, HARCH!" is is "Open ranks, MARCH!".
Green to yellow,what did he do?sell the most scout cookies!
💚🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💚
This is great. The air force can drill 100 times better then the army. As a Marine it needs allot of work, but it’s so much better then watching army videos
My arms would be so sore for that long
@Gen .Stephen Townsend Good morning General, thankyou all is well this side of the world being New Zealand. Take care and best of luck to you and yours
These were the dorks at tech school lol
coed squad to damn i had sister flights but not coed
Where are their chairs? lol jk jk. Much respect to the Air Force. Their open ranks are pretty much top notch.
ChairForce 1
In fairness, the NCO SHOULD KNOW...there is NO ARCH, in open ranks....
Its a total shame, Preach integrity until it doesn't meet the agenda.
This must be Tech School.
Yes, we only had "Ropes" in Tech school. Green is for lowest "Student Leader", a hall of students perhaps, Yellow is for the whole floor. Ours had 4 halls. Red Rope is for the Whole building. Blue rope is the actual School leaders. It was good stuff for growing leaders; but only applied in the dorms outside of the school setting.
What the gell is wrong with that guided foot
That sergeant needs a smaller shirt
I’m sorry, y’all salute enlisted???
Andre villar it’s strictly for the inspection itself, common practice. This is under AETC so it’s different. With MTLs/NCOs they would typically get inspected by an Officer, but for the purpose of this inspection for their rope program, the CO is the NCO.
