Shirley, you jest !
My AF basic was a breeze then, and it would be a breeze now. SAC Trained Killer here !
Yes my post was sarcasm to the max, LOL
I went through USAF basic in 1960 and it’s was an 8-week joke. We spent about three hours at the range. There was a lot of “admin” time that would’ve been better spent at the range and doing PT. I understand that it has been toughened up over the past few years. My first tour in the Philippines was like a vacation. Eight hours duty daily then the rest of the time drinking San Miguel. Good thing we weren’t attacked then. About a year later I got assigned to a small station in Italy. We went on full alert. We went to the supply warehouse and by the time I got there, all I got was a web belt and a tin pot.
