United States Air Force Academy - Basic Cadet Training 

looool

I would died of laughter and most likely get in trouble.

@@DrB_84 you do realize that's the most sexist comment anyone could say right?

Instructor is Blacked obsessed!

Lmao I would get in trouble for smiling if anyone did that. Or if anyone yelled at me, all I do is smile but its more of nervous smile.

Alexander Sigurvinsson i know! He sounds like a robot

What

Marshall Perryman I think so

Rocky Sargent thank you

Marshall Perryman same here!

If your school has jrotc then do that

I suggest you prepare now. Make sure your GPA is 3.0 +, have As and Bs. Do college preparatory courses. Stay fit and workout. Do community service, Civil Air Patrol is community service, Civil air patrol also known as Cap Is the Air Force Auxiliary, the Cadet program is 12 - 18 year olds, you can do Search and Rescue, Aerospace education, hunting down contraband, and supporting the Air Force during trainings. In CAP you learn military customs, drills, Air Force history, and ranks. And you can go to different types of special schools which allow you to do cool stuff in Cap, and 12% of Air Force Academy cadets were in Cap, Cap prepares you for both military and civilian sector. And if you become a 2nd Lt in Cap you can enlist in the Air Force as a E2. Make sure to get a leadership role in any community service organization you choose, but again I highly suggest you join civil air patrol, it will help you to go to the Air Force Academy. And if you get disqualified from the Air Force Academy they might submit a waiver if you're very competitive. And make sure to study foreign language, math, science, English, history. And have good character. www.gocivilairpatrol.com , www.airforce.com , www.academyadmissions.com

M M I’m already in I’m in honor Guard in cap

You should do AFJROTC

Maintain a good GPA, score well on SATs, do sports (2 sports every year?), take leadership positions (class president, club president, team captain), have many service hours, and have good relationships with teachers so they can write a good recommendation letter. I also wish to go to USAFA and I’m graduating high school in 2022 so I hope I see you there!

David Blake definitely not accurate

Jorge Barbosa you’re acting like I I don’t know how the military works 🤷🏻‍♂️. I was talking about basic training like the original comment . Don’t tell me to do homework because I’ve spent time in the military and that comment wasn’t about college.

Jorge Barbosa it literally says says basic training in the comment.

PLA watching you

I thought Coast Guard was the hardest branch to get into someone feel free to fact check me ( want to get into the Marines but have to loose a couple pounds )

Schäfer G. Savage fam.

Really, which branch is that? The one you were in? This is a college, not straight up boot camp. If they don;t get through this, they don't get to attend.

nah all branches require you to graduate

Schäfer G. True

Nick Rodriguez like what? The coast guard? Having many members of my family who joined the Air Force and Army and Marines, the majority of them agreed that the real Air Force boot camp is much harder than the Army and Marines in many respects.

Eric Rivas apaches come from us army aviation lol

@@dse9564 Im glad you said that before I did

My dad was in the air force but 90 percent don't fly u mean pilot aircrafts and I would say if you want to fly join the navy

@@Armyjayden33 The Air Force gets guaranteed positions for pilots in the Academy. The Air Force alots like 230+ pilot positions for Air Force Academy Students. So there is a large likelihood that many of these cadets could become pilots.

@@Armyjayden33 Dude, what makes you think the navy is more about aviation than the airforce

I doubt 90% of them have even graduated high school, let alone attended college lmao

John Jack who?

My college was infantry school dude lmao

John Jack dude this is for Air Force Academy. Not only do you have to graduate, but you have to do very well in high school. I think the average act was a 30.

@@johnjack5097 you need atleast a GED to join LMAO

You sure they're not in an academy in Colorado?

Takes an officer with a college degree to break the equipment, takes an enlisted personnel with a high school degree to fix it.

Nope ... navy & marines both have more jets then the airforce

@@kinghavoc8549 you realize thats two branches of service right

Sparta Spartan marines are technically under the department of the navy. So the aircraft do belong to the navy

Ernest Jay this isn’t boot camp

@@cardboardboxman6345 it’s bct

Well the part where you see them on obstacle courses and exercises, I agree to disagree.

Not all Air Force is strength some are paratroopers.

As marine, i agree

Army:tough Marine:tough 2x Air force: smart.

Schultzy I'm only 19 and I already have 6 lol

Im still applying and already have 1 lol (From CAP)

On to victory! We'll Fly anything that flies; That's the C.A.P. Chorus For the glory of Liberty, For the Red, White, and Blue, Give us any kind of orders; We're the guys who'll see them through. Though the sky may be overcast, Though fog banks may roll, Never heed 'em, Fly for freedom In the CIVIL AIR PATROL!

Yeah Idk if I would have the mental fotitude to get yelled at by a kid who my socks have more military experience than lol

Haha or a female than can do only 50 push ups

Me too. I unfortunately grew up with a mom that, while a great mother otherwise, had some mental health issues and wasn’t around to teach me some basic skills like that and I had to learn on my own. I’m worried the way I do it wouldn’t be passable

I would laugh at the screaming and get kicked out on day one 😂

Paulo Gustavo Brito Hahah similar? Bro, I am a E3 in the US Army and my basic training would shit on this so called training I see in this video

William Leuters sit down priv no need to fight this war you still have shit to come your way don't shit talk them too much would you talk to an LT that way because that's what they are

you marines have never felt the pain of standing in blues, in 100+ degree weather, perfectly still, for hours on end. maybe youve tolerated and hour or so, but not for more than that. your also forgetting what the airforce does. it stresses intelligence, character, precision, excellence, etc. it does not stress brute force and a determination to die. The USAF flies planes, manages paperwork, does missions WITH marines and army. ya couldnt get halfway across the world if a Airman hadnt gotten up at 3:00, sipped a coffee, put on a flight suit, went to a briefing, finsihed up some work, headed to the flight line, prepped the plane (which is exausting), check the flight plan, file it , double check it,take invetory, wait while dozens of marines and soldiers or whatever shuffle on board, check that all personal are ready and present, close the cargo door, brief the soldiers, set up equipment, start the plane and all of its systems, perform countless checklists and procedures, contact atc, activate flight plane, wait....wait....wait...cleared for taxi to rwy 06 via bravo, bravo2, cross rwy 24 onto sierra5, turn left onto sierra and taxi full length, hold position number 3 behind a c-17 and a AWACS, hold short, readback flight plan, line up and wait, apply ample power and such, check instruments, "160...v1...rotate...v2...positive rate gear up, four red...128.86 Gold55 with you, IFR to waypoint WASC, holding pattern for blah blah blah.... needless to say, its a lot to remember and do. maybe piece by piece its easy, but you have to learn that stuff. In the marines and army, they stress skill and perseverence and physical condition. in the airfroce, a lot of the work isnt physically or mentally challenging, but you you have a lot of complicated stuff and for that, you need a lot of knowledge. where do you get knowledge? oh! i know! from a university or academy! well waddya know? The AirForce trains officers at an "academy".... its not boot camp, its not basic training, its an academy. you sirs have just had to be taught the difference between an academy and boot camp. and you wonder why the airforce stresses eduction so much...

No pressure here I see no pressure in this basic training video. Absolutely none. I could sleep on this

Estava lendo , os comentários queria vê a possibilidade de uma mulher consegui entrar no exército brasileiro , o Brasil deveria recrutar mais mulheres na unidade do exército.

Avery Simer ya better start now, application process begins in spring of your junior year

I am as well

Me too!!

good luck, make sure you put good effort into your essays and hope you secure a nomination

TurtleTTR nobody cares pussy

All the branches of the military have impressive training at all levels. I agree that the Academy's education are among the finest in the world.

Great Scott!!! U can say they are better in some ways though just not other ways lol

Who told you that Army enlisted soldiers get beat up? LOL Also, there are senior enlisted who have much more responsibility and authority than officers.

Yes, but when has a nonground unit ever won a war? the answer, never.

Thunder Garcia What about dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That ended the war and it was a non ground unit.

Franco Sudiacal especially by people who arent even in the military...

Are cadets considered in the military yet, or are they "in the process"?

A-10 Thunderbolt II neither. They're in the process of preparing to be in the process to become military. Basically they're nothing.

Jesus Christ Thanks, Jesus!

So people stay here for 4 years? I always thought that was kind of weird that you're there for 4 years and not even on an Air Force contract.

If at about 12:00 you see that they can't even do a pull-up, that should be a tell-tale sign. Also that they are struggling just doing a high crawl, and just really sluggish in general during the A-Course with rifles and helments. Believe me, I know lol.

For the most part, the Air Force Academy is just a normal college(well, an advanced college) with military. Mostly academic. The PT is there to keep you fit. I understand that it is not as intense. Also, realize that this is at a high altitude, EVERYONE struggles with oxygen--or the lack thereof.

You serious? Dude that altitude is normal for anybody that lives in the rockies. But for a Californian I would imagine it'd be difficult.

Michael Shelley Or even worse, for someone like me from Florida who will struggle to get by the standard CFT here, then move there and have to deal with the altitude. But fortunately, they give us SEVERAL months to prepare, so I'll be ready for Colorado by June.

A-10 Thunderbolt II why would it be harder

I dont mind getting yelled at

Snek it gets annoying after awhile and you can’t talk back

😅😅😅😅

Airforce is not the most badass look at the Marines they are the toughest and hardest boot camp my sister went and broke her foot twice

Care to join Russian airforce you will not get discipline it's fun as well.

Be a man join the Marines

SeventyFive 4 your mean

SeventyFive 4 be a man and respect his decision

Good luck man, you are very brave.

@@seventyfive4154 how about u join the Marines!

SpaceManJoe your spelling is hilarious

Morgan Wetz dead

SpaceManJoe lhas

SpaceManJoe 😂😂

@@morganwetz872 frick off, nobody cares.

Compared to the Army. This Basic training is a piece of cake. And this basic training is only 5 weeks long.

@@FreddyMartinez-vt4fzUnless you go through academy BCT, you don't know if t is a piece of cake. West Point basic traning is no more diificult than USAFA. All military academies' basic cadet training is not te same as being in enlisted.boot camp.

I 100% agree with ur statement Clorox Bleach

Lol you said juggle 3 balls 😂

They will send you back over and over untill you get it

It's service academy that prepares officers for the military, and not enlisted bootcamp. Just for your note.

You know the navy and army both do CAS right...

Wade Priest better way he could of said it was defending cyberspace and are the communications basically

Wade Priest not as well as the a-10, the 18 is not a slow speed plane so it requires long run ins to the target area. the army can do it but they’re not for quick response.

They just get coool new flying toys. But marines and navy can fly planes too

yea, these cadets aren't most likely gonna be the ones providing air support. These cadets would probably quit or deploy as reserved.

@mneisbaar 🙄Be quiet.

hellyeah

Yeah but few airforce personal actually fly a plane. Even those that fly, do fly propeller aircrafts too.

@@dr.mmaudi8194 Yeah but many many members in other branches are serving in non-combat roles. Even the USMC has cooks and mechanics. Is the marine working at the dining hall really tougher than the USAF Security Forces member that has been down range outside the wire? I mean no disrespect whatsoever to anyone who has worn the uniform, but my point is that it takes all kinds to keep the war machine rolling.

Dr. M M Audi So? Props are not inferior to turbines.

I'm seeing my comment a year later and my spelling sucks srry 😑 Also yeah everyone has a point. There are different roles in each branch if the military, so in the end it's a team effort to get the job done.

the portuguese training.... take a look ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UB7iZ_yGshw.html

Yeah I heard they actually run to the phone booths to call home

Difficulty portion here is during high school and even earlier preparing to get into the academy. Very difficult. Lots of long all nighters preparing academically and in leadership positions, summers spent doing the same, no free time for anything, 5-6 hour night sleeps between freshman and senior year school nights the norm. Once you're in though, you're in, unless you're a total imbecile who somehow cheated through the system or have unanticipated major life changes (i.e. become schizo or major depression the top reasons).

Q Nazty I agree...there’s a difference between enlisting and being appointed to the academy!

@@scotteastman7219 its the hardest to get into the easiest to pass

kevin duarte it's because they aren't really in combat as much as say the Marines these days and they aren't trained as harshly because they won't be infantry units but as soon as the other branches get in trouble they cry for help from the Air Force

Purple Shampoo sooo true

they at underetimated. reading this comments hurts my feelings as my grand father and two of my greatgrandfatners were In the air force an I hope to join them.

Purple Shampoo Yeah no shit, they're taking a lot of fire and its their to job to fly in and support.

Kevin J. Rivera because most fields in the Airforce are easy and not in battle but absolutely nessesary. Fighter pilots dont get shit though, they get much harder training.

adam shaffer lmao if it was a marines D.I it would be YES SIR!! or YES MAME!!

Well i have had a second year cadet say that to me it was quiet humorous see as i am an E6 and look super young

I thought to wern't supposed to though. I got my ass smoked cause I looked at one of the Cadre who was 15° in my vision. Look straight, they said

That’s just another cadet. Could you imagine 4 years of this?

she was pretty hot though

Yea ac130 the absolute death machine from above. The grim reaper itself. Just a cool toy that they fly. Give it to the marines or the army and the af has just lost all usefulness

@@yakou1621 Same with the A-10, AF rlly wants to retire it.

John Doe he's only pushing his upper body😂

😂😂😂

@D̶ʝ Na̶i̶ "Its just the Air Force not marine or army" Unless your out their serving you cant talk shit plus the USAF is not only the most technological advanced branch of the military but also the branch in the military all others rely on to deliver air support

Yung Mickey it’s only a joke

@D̶ʝ Na̶i̶ It isn't the full on Air Force, these kids are twice as smart as the Army

but not gonna lie, is still hard, but not as hard as some other boot camps *cough marines *cough

Shit... i went to west point... tell me about it..

I thought westpoint was for the navy. I thought the marines are from parris island

@@yakou1621 West Point is for someone to be an officer in the Army, Annapolis is one of the ways to be an officer in the Navy or the Marine Corps iirc. Parris island is just where Marine recruits go to for basic training

now 6 years ago

givesmehmehopeforthefure

preparing a new generation for war gives you hope for the future?

While I agree this can set them up for future success, I've worked with enlisted ranks that have attained higher success then some officers. For someone that is an E-1-E-4, I would much rather learn from an E-5 - E-7. Officers are meant to lead via orders. The true leaders in any military are your E-6-E-7's or 8's.

It's a beautiful campus.

Robert McCoin exactly.

dasicyetintensetraining

True

Was he a marine

@@c.7197 Air Force navigator.

NCO’s aren’t training them

Chas4739 why is that?

Why ?

Regular college experience, I only had to be a cadet for ~9 hours a week. I did my own laundry, cooked for myself, paid bills and had the freedom to do whatever on weekends. Still free college too bc of a scholarship. I’ve made a lot of friends who commissioned through the academy, and it’s a LOT of extra work/hardship for the same commission. Buuuut if you’re trying to fly it is the most sure fire way to a pilot slot. Pros and cons, I’m happy I did ROTC.

Mandatory Issued upon graduation.

lowl

Really like berets? Not even useable, does nothing but a fashion.

B.J. Martin its a decorated umiform not for combat

Harry Kuheim lmfao

M T lol reminded me that one of my ds in basic had a glass eye and it was hard not to look at

The marine DI. Even if they wore sunglasses the recruits can see fire and brimstone and hell in their eyes

Calvine McCalvineface man that sucks 😬 sorry to hear. I thought all civil air patrols did a summer and winter encampment

There are ways to still get into Officer Training if you enlist and meet requirements before the age of 35. Outside of 35, Active Duty (at least USAF standards) Enlisted is available up to 39yrs of age. Guard and Reserves I believe (even Army, etc) are even more flexible on entry. And once you enlist, there are ways to get to the AFA. Still competitive? Sure. But by enlisting first and then crossing over, they know you have an idea of what to ACTUALLY expect (vs what new cadets THINK it will be like) from being an Officer. One Colonel I talked to when I deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 said that some administration officials at the USAFA actually think prior enlisted crossover cadets are way more appealing than newbies. Especially ones that have had ALS (Airman Leadership School. Required before promoting to E-5)

Crazykidsbite I thought he dropped a penny. It doesnt look like pushups

Sheesh!

Did you ?(

Pretty sure 99.9% of the people commenting wouldn't be accepted, Including me, I'm dumb af. But i respect the air force a lot, The intelligence and dedication they have isn't anything to mock

@@icedove101 yeah, it really isn't

most of the people are saying the physical part is easy
