Went through Lackland as a Dorm Chief in ‘62. None — and I mean NONE — of this shit going on then.
Trump and Mattis have their work cut out for them. If they fail, better start learning Chinese!
Went through Lackland in 1979. After a few days we were begging for more exercise. Our MTI* was happy to hear that but told us that due to new training rules we were getting the max PT allowable. The standards were lowered so more women would pass. It wasn’t part of the mind game. Later the solution that was instructors weren’t allowed to tell the trainees about the lowered standards anymore.
MTI = Military Training Instructor for the USAF. Drill Instructor ( DI ) in other services.
