Don’t be fooled by the word ‘basic’ in Basic Air Force Training because there is nothing basic about it! Air Force training is tough and needs you to give it your all if you are ever going to get through. Needless to say, joining the Air Force isn’t meant for anyone and everyone and whoever attempts to get in, has to be prepared for the toughest challenges ahead. Here are a few things that will help you make it!
- Air Force training is not just given in the field. Believe it or not, you will be spending tremendous amounts of time in a classroom! So be prepared to take lots of notes and study hard as this is crucial if you are going to get through.
- Be proud of what you are doing! You will often be told that you are not good enough but that is just your instructor’s way of pushing you harder. Most men who think they are tough crumble during the training so you should be proud of your efforts. It will keep you motivated!
- Take practice sessions seriously. You will be asked to role play in situations that may actually happen someday so treat it as something that is happening in real, you will be able to give it your best then.
- You will feel like giving several times during the training period. However, you should keep reminding yourself that getting through this eight and a half month training will change your life forever, and for the better too! So stick to it and you won’t regret making the decision when you earn your Airman’s Coin!
