*grins* Yep! I'm in the airforce. I was sworn in about two months ago, or wait, make that more like three months ago. Now all I'm waiting for it to be shipped out to basic. ^-^

So.. what does basic training involve?

Hmm, well basic's about six weeks long. We have wake up call at 4:45 in the morning, and lights out is at 9:00 at night.

During the morning hours, after breakfast, we go and do excersizes. And in the afternoon we have classes. Then there's warrior week, where we have to carry around gas masks for random drills. And that's were we learn how to de-assemble and reassemble a gun, and I believe we get taken to the shooting range. I think we've got the obstacle course in this week too.

At the end of basic you have to be able to run and mile and a half in a certain amount of time, for girls it's about 13 minutes and 57 seconds, I haven't a clue for guys. And I'll have to be able to do like 60 situps and 30 pushups. So it's not that bad, what bad is you have people (namely the airmen) yelling at you to do things.

*grins* Any other questions? They might give me ideas to pitch to my recruiter. ^-^
