Only the active Air Force officers can drop us now, and i believe they have to do it with us (might be wrong there).
Also, there's a limit to how much they can do it in an hour. I think the 1st week its 1 set of 10, second is 2 sets, 3rd is 3, 4th is 4 sets. THey can drop us for pushups or flutter kicks.

'Basic for Officers?'

40 push-ups in an hour and they have to drop with? :-\

That ain't basic... it's a health spa! My Drills would drop us for 40-50 every time we went to sleep in a class in AIT. It sould add up to quite a sum once you included the 50-60 that you were doing every morning during regular PT- I racked up 200 in a day once!

If you couldn't complete the PU's, then you stayed in the front lean-and-rest till class was over.

I hear now drills cannot even cuss at you anymore.

That doesnt mean that they can't still make you feel like sh*t.

We've got a senior going to Vandenberg as her first station Tus. Small world.

Well thats because they want you to go Space and Missiles. I can understand that. You should go for it, they get to wear flight suits and pretend to be pilots! ;)


On a side note, I got my training dates.
Tyndall AFB, Florida
21 June to 20 July.

That would be a cool job- driving the F-22...

I mean, yeah, you'll be like the military equivalent of a water boy, but someone has to do it, right?

Too bad you can't be a pilot though...

Maybe Tus will get a case of the arselike that tank driver a few years ago and take the F-22 for a spin in the burbs and on the freeway!  ;D We could sit and watch all the cars and trucks have their paint jobs melted off just by the exhaust alone.  :rofl:

BTW, it has happened, that is why we changed the engines and fuel of the M-1 Abrams. It had a nasty habit of screwing up peoples' auto paint jobs at it cruised by the motorpool.

Tankers had it made in 2 aspects, one is that you hardly had to get out of your vehicle except to piss or take a dump or eat hot chow, or at the wash rack, and two, they had some of the best heating systems in the U.S. Army. The M-113 Med track had a badarse heater, but they tended to go out often, which was a deadline according to army regs. Of course, it did not stop us from going to the field, as we were told "Just put a bunch of blankets over your patients."  ;D
