I’m a college professor and an AF veteran. Some of the kids I see would have to go to pre training before Basic. I think if they were just thrown into Basic, quite a few would just keel over or worse. You’d never hear the end of it on MSNBC.
Bar I hang out at has alot of kids(20’s and 30’s).
I’m a bit passed the half century mark myself.
Practically to a man, the young guys I see coming in this place look like the Pilsbury Dough boy. Maybe not grossly overweight, but almost rounder than they are tall.
A good proportion of the gals are the same.
