Now, I was told to never volunteer for ANYTHING, but I'm glad I did. Turned out these two were from the AF Drum & Bugle Corp and I wound up "recruited" and spent my next couple of months in the old MOB dorms, co-ed flight AND getting to go off base at least a dozen times before the regular liberty. Best risk to volunteer for something that I ever took. Wound up winning a bunch of awards etc. Very cool time.

GGame. When I left for USAF basic training and got there in Nov 1972 - I was a little surprised. I had prepared myself - (physically and mentally) for Marine boot camp in 1972. I decided to join the USAF instead and I was taken aback with the yelling and the stress levels they put on you - I decided then and there that I would have to put more effort in basic training than I thought. It wasn't hard - but the thought of being "set back" in training really concern me - I don't think I ever came close being "set back" - but I was glad when it was over. I did well with PT - 5 minute mile and fortunately good with pushups as well - but the incredible amount of attention to detail was sometimes mind numbing. I thought I was pretty good with attention to detail - but it turn out more of a challenge than what I thought it would be. One of the best decisions I ever made was to join the USAF. But if I had joined the USMC - I think I would have thought the same way. Aim High !

I still remember a few things, so I directed her to the Base Commander... And she could see the nephew at the parade. From there on it is history still in the making.

This was my time frame. 3704 BMTS, FLT 697, 8 Dec 1981-Jan 1982. The instructor seen at 2:14 was one I had for academic training as well. It may seem "quaint" to see folks in OG 106 cotton fatigues or OG 507 fatigues, but that was Cold War standard for the Air Force and most of the other service branches back then in the years before BDUs came along. Some of those days were very hard. Some were less so. We weren't all issued "Rubber Ducky" rifles as a flight back then. (That came with REAL M-16s when we got to the Security Police Academy across the base.) Back then our mass Airmen's Run was never seen by the public, but we ran it nonetheless, and in FATIGUES, not P.T. uniforms. We never received an Airman's Coin back then whereas the young kids do these days. And even though our Basic was only six weeks long, and not today's eight, our MTIs managed to squeeze in all the training we required in the 18 or so waking hours of each training day. But by the end of it all, looking back, it seemed like a breeze. One of my proudest days was when we followed in the footsteps of so many thousands of others who had served before us, and marched across that parade field on our graduation day. And yes, I would do it all over again if I could.

Looks like this is circa 1987. POS .22 cal adapters were eliminated in 1988. Pickle uniforms eliminated in late 1988, early 1989. But the biggest marker on the timeframe = TSgt Pope. You don't forget people like that. He was with 3303 in mid 1989. Finished my 23rd year in 2012 wishing that we had these men and women still with us. The AF would be much better.

Today, January 2021 Training Instructor (TI) - "Give me a 341 recruit for not making your bunk properly." Recruit _"Say Please and stop yelling at me or I will report you to HR for being so mean! Furthermore, you are scaring me I need a Time-Out and I am going to my Safe-Place until I can talk to HR and complain about you and your greater than thou attitude. It's not fair, besides, I just can't get the hang of it, Mommy always made my bed before I came here to be mistreated. You TIs are just mean and racist and I hope you get in trouble."

I went through in 83 and this is somewhere close to that time frame. Still issued OD fatigues. I actually got a double set of all the uniforms as they were transitioning from the cotton OD to the permanent press ODs. I also got 2 class A service coats. One was a cotton material and the other polyester. In 83 we didn't wear PT shoes, which these folks are, at least I don't remember wearing PT shoes, could be wrong though. I had two 341's pulled my whole time. 1st one was when I was on a detail at the DLA building shredding language tests and a was outside at the butt can smoking. An O-6 Col came out of the building and I saluted him and he looked at my boots and pulled a 341 for a great shoe shine I had :) The 2nd one was on the last day and SSGT Garcia pulled one because he said "I'm pulling this because you've only had one pulled and it was for excellence and no one goes through my flight without one pulled for a demerit". He smiled as he said that. June 30 1983, FLT 3743rd, SSGT Garcia was the team chief and SGT Keener the team member.

I was there October - December of 1979. I could swear that the TI asking for the 341 is Sgt Morris. He appears in some of the marching videos also.

Started my USAF career in March 1984. 3702 Flt 223. Retired 2004 as TSgt. These Ti's sure arent yelling like I remember, But that was a long time ago and I'm sure I am forgetting things

I was at Lackland from mid June 1980 to early August. It was only 6 weeks long. If the temperature was 80 degrees or higher, there was no PT that day. They were more concerned you were folding your underwear correctly than being able to do 20 sit-ups. My high school wrestling workouts were harder than basic training.

This was a little watered down but brings back memories of when I was at Lackland BMT, flight 422 during Nov 83 - Jan 84. My AF memories will last a lifetime.

That is the old 3701 BMTS...My TI, SSgt Morris, is featured in this. I laughed out loud when I saw this video online! Lots of crazy memories. SSgt Morris seemed a lot more scary back in 1983!

One of my TI's, SSgt Ed Morris (3701) is prominently featured in this video. Mostly performing drill, but he is the TI that pulls a 341. That's no surprise.
