We had an awesome chow runner. Legs like a giraffe, and he never missed a note of Reveille. We were never later than second flight reporting to chow hall for breakfast...usually first.
Went through Air Force BMT in "83" Being the chow runner was the worst job one could have. In my flight the chow runner was a really short dude with size 9 feet and size 12 boots (reminded me of Snuffy Smith). When the TI called "chow runner go!" All we heard was "flopp flopp flopp" as he marched to the door. Nobody could hold back the laughter even the TI's. This is permanently ingrained in my mind even to this day. If I feel that I need a little chuckle all I do is think "chow runner go".
Hey, USAF Vet here too! Went through BMT in 2006. Chow Runner was definitely the worst job in Basic. I was INSANELY thankful I didn't have to be it. I was 'Hallway Crew Chief'. As far as the 'Detail' assignments go, that one was a cake!
331st Death Row March - April 1998 wa untouchable. Ssgt Tijerina, Ssgt Greene, Ssgt Jenkins were beasts. Our flight won honor flight and smokes the comp from other squads while coming home with all the comp streamers on our staff. Ssgt Greene actually teared up on the last day cuz we were so damn sharp. Anyone else a part of this squad at the time?
No but 324th won everything in 07 and my flight killed. Average mile time was sub 9 minutes and only 2 people missed marksman. My squad smokes yours any day and twice on Sunday. Get good kid
Just graduated from 331st a week ago, still untouchable. Wolf Pack has always been the squadron to beat from what I've heard (even from other squadrons mti). We have the GOAT of instructors right now too. She even has a plaque in the other squadrons defacts. Tsgt Williams.
@@bradearthman8332 lol that's nothing to brag about. It sounds like you just got lucky and was put up against a weak group. Sub 9 minutes isn't all that hard to achieve. Marksman is pretty much a participation ribbon. The 331st being on top is just kinda how BMT works at this point. We're always the squadron. Just keep practicing, we all start somewhere lol.
This is not "Old School" one bit. I went through Basic Training almost 30 years ago. And I don't even call my self "Old School" Our MTI's smoked us and rode us all day, but it wasn't as rough as the crews before us.
That is none other than, at the time, MSgt Ceracano (sara-saun-o). He was my Section Supervisor when I went through in 2010. This was conducted at the 321st, the PREDATORS! I saw a glimpse MSgt Manuel, my MTI, in there as well. I remember TSgt Linder (the “trainee”) challenging everyone to push-ups. The only time I’ve ever seen 100 perfect push-ups pumped out in under a minute. Impressive stuff!! I’m actually back at BMT now to push some flights myself. Sgt Linder, thanks for the memories!
+50629 I went through 3 years ago and one of the instructors had a line for MSgt, unless he reallllllly fucked up I highly doubt this was only a year ago.
As someone who went through and graduated BMT in 2017, I can promise you that USAF MTIs can and will fucking destroy you if given the opportunity. God help you if you do something like failing to bring black socks the day you and your flight get fitted for dress blues or losing your canteen cap during BEAST week. Just because it's not USMC or Army basic doesn't mean that these dudes won't make your life a living hell if you fuck up badly enough.
Not sure, but I 321st (seems like these MTIs are from 321TRS from the comments) have been in the new buildings(not the one in the video) for a while at Lackland and they're called instructor supervisors instead of section supervisors. So idk, a year, 2 years? BMT makes some kind of big change every FY.
The end of the video is what I'm talking about thoughThe trainee in the majority of the video probably really acts like that. There are some weird people that come through!
Holy fuckin shit! The Section Supervisor was my TI in 2003 and BMT (320 TRS FLT 601)was absolutely like this. If this is a skit, it's accurate. Reminds me of a few dirtbags back the. Making me nostalgic.
It's BMT not a playground! Holy bat crap, much worse in the 80's! It's still a pansy party! Go through one of the SOF training programs and then you can talk about your little adventure!
Old school BMT? Lol dude's wearing ABUs and this video was posted in 2015 less than 2 years ago.......I don't know what's old school about this. I wouldn't even consider my experience as old school and that was 10 years ago...
It's would be hard to take any of these TI's serious, after have gone through old school basic training in the Army in. Unless some guy is intentionally screwing up. You don't single him and berate him just to get your kicks. These TI's are a bunch of clowns.
The Marines do this to their recruits on a daily basis! Having gone through recruit training ten years ago its hard to look at any other branch's basic
Be chow runner, they said. It's going to be fine, they said...
my flights chow runner was told by another MTI that he was the best damn chow runner hes seen
ha... better than getting singled out.. then designated the "house mouse" on day one... poor bastard.... : P
OMG! I went through BMT back in 2006 and got my DD-214 in 2012, but watching the chow runner throw his satchel at the TI made my heart skip a beat. 😵
The infamous snake pit.. 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 Woooooo child… Those were some good memories.. 🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣
We had an awesome chow runner. Legs like a giraffe, and he never missed a note of Reveille. We were never later than second flight reporting to chow hall for breakfast...usually first.
you were an amazing MTI, not sure if you still do it but I was glad to have you as our flight's MTI.
Me too isn it linden?
@@nordicsilver9675 MSgt Linder, he was a great MTI
I graduated 8 months ago, MSgt Linder wasn’t my flight MTI. if sergeant Linder told me to do a doble backflip I would’ve attempted to do it.

Been there done that in Jan-Feb 83/BMTS 3723-FLT035
....he actually said life is like a box of chocolates......haha
Even though this was a skit, I'm sure the MTI's were harsh like this, if not, worse, back in the day. Wish they were like that when I went though.
They were (at least in 2003). That dreaded snake pit in the chow hall. Place of nightmares haha
In 1988, I had a 341 pulled because i was chewing food when I got up from the table😂
in 86 it was much, much worse. could bring a grown man to tears.
@@daveriggle7729 83 was way worse
As a recent BMT graduate, I can say that the MTI'S easily become much worse than this. It was hell in the DFAC but it was fun.
i was in around this time, i agree they can be much worse, i was thinking this was staged, he would have gotten lit up WAYYY worse
Awwww Msgt Linder 👏👏👏
We're glad we had him as an MTI
There’s no way you had MSgt Linder lololol man was a beast at marching
@@joshuaerdmann3007 yes sir, we had him, he replaced our first mti's... We learned alot from him 👏👏👏 specially marching
what flight were you?
@@danielo4954 638 😬
@@jomskijo oh shit I was in 636
y'all were right above us lmao he was a great mti
I just realized this was TSgt Linder!!
I'm crying laughing. The MTI you threw the satchel at is MSgt Cerasano. After my dad, he's my second Air Force hero.
I hear this was actually an instructor pretending to be a goofy trainee as a joke.
TSgt Linder (One of the best TI's I met)
You can tell it's him because he posted the video.
RealRelz the haircut gives it away but there is one in every flight lol.
RealRelz it was. My little brother is a serious jokester
Sgotta be😂
i thought so....lol..no way this could be real AND posted. That airman would know no end to the humiliation throughout his actual career.

@@zachhayes4800The 331st Wolf Pack. Love it. I graduated June 29th of 07.
I come back and watch this every so often. It never gets old.
Yup this is what I remember. Thank you for the upload.
1st flight, honor flight right out the shoot! Honor Flight requested I be the chow runner!
I saw a SSgt that couldn't hold his laughter and an MTI that probably can't pass a waist measurement.
Trainee brad is just something else. I wanna be this man’s friend 🤣
Its not old school if they're not wearing BDU's.
Daniel Metcalf i didnt think airmen wore bdu's
When I first enlisted in 2007 we wore them. They were phased out in 2010.
Daniel Metcalf ah, ok
2011... they were phased out in 2011.
Excuse me, 2011.
I had tsgt Linder. good luck to his guidon.... that man LOVES guidon 😂
I had him too! He was was awesome. Never used cuss words just made them up lol
Wait is that him pretending lmao?
@@nordicsilver9675 I had him aswell...best mti ever
I swear to god that tall Tech Sargent in the back round was my old MTI back in 2009.
TSgt Carpenter was my mti in 2010 so its possible!
SnadeckiG He hit MSGt when I went in 2016
Hahahahahahahahahaha, I really wish I could had been there when you were in BMT. Miss you little bro.
Fun fact most Chow runners make it to SrA. Before they retire. Strange but true
I loved being chow runner. I never had this problem
YOOOO! was that Sgt Linder holding it down as a trainee?!?!? Miss them guys don't train them like they used to that's for sure
Love it!
Haha TSgt Linder was a character. He was one of my favorites. Called me a pathetic excuse for a human being once.
2:15
SARC!!
Will Bebop oh my god dude😂😂😂😂
That scared guy is officer material!
So glad you posted this. I was telling my Airmen about some of the stuff we used to do in the 21st. Miss ya, man.
I thought I could hear that crappy British accent in the background haha. Best MTI though.
Is that you Teirnan? (However you spell it)
Of course this was in the 321st, best BMT squadron there is. Just close enough to the gate to smell the McDonalds 1/2 mile away..
It's the E-5 at the end who did the left-face and covered himself for me LMAO
That stuff is scary. I had to stand there before. Lol
Chow runner, go!!!!!!!
Aye I think
That's the dfac that I went to in the 324th
I remember the catm picture and the old-school pic in the back
What's with that ssgt chow runner? MTI in training??
How long has this kid been at BMT? I mean he is in a uniform, not being able to do a reporting statement is rough.
I swear that guy sounds like one my MTIs, LOL!!
when the heck did we have satchels?
wait what do trainees wear then? I grad in 2000
There's no way this is MSgt Linder - He's got no hair ! (inb4 he says: "You shut your dirty mouth!")
Yep thats me
BRUH THE PERMISSION TO ADJUST 😂
Thats how it was in 86 when I Went through Lackland
Chow runner was fun for me🤣
That ending confused me. Why is there a staff sergeant reporting is he an MTI? He has a campaign cover and everything
It's funny because some of y'all that gullible to believe this is real
Kevin Murray so true haha the man has nameplates on and there is staffs doing chow runner procedures haha too funny
By week 4, everyone has nametapes
this is mild.
Chow runner, go!
What Squadron or Building was this in? Looks like my old squadron the 324th
321st
@@rawhides 321st, wow they just finished tearing down their old dorm
2015 is old school?
He done f up in the snake pit
why was there a sgt reporting?
I wanna how they recording this lol
🦁🦁
It’s a TI acting like a Recruit
Sgt Mays and another black MTI
Priate IS A ARMY THING
If this happened in BMT i'd be dying!! Wish it wasn't so fucking lenient.
Is he freaking crying? I went through Navy boot camp in 1992. My company commanders would have consumed him.
They were going the fuck off on me.
This is not "Old School" one bit. I went through Basic Training almost 30 years ago. And I don't even call my self "Old School" Our MTI's smoked us and rode us all day, but it wasn't as rough as the crews before us.
This is not training. This is a joke. In fact, BMT becomes more of a joke with each year that passes.
that voice yelling sounds familiar I can't put my finger on it
Sounds a lot like SSgt (at least he was when I was there) Hauge.
Sgt Randolph?

The snake pit.
det 5 hua
I don’t know what any of this is. BMT in the 80s didn’t have this stuff
Threw the bag? Yikes! Welcome to the snake pit!
Yep. That was a common reaction from our TIs if we dared toss something.
0:36 how times have changed. These days that would be a stripe at minimum.
Haha I don't know. This was only last year, and they do that kind of stuff all the time
yea. i miss the days where you could lose a stripe even as an airman basic
+50629 I went through 3 years ago and one of the instructors had a line for MSgt, unless he reallllllly fucked up I highly doubt this was only a year ago.
Nope, happens all he time. Sorry, times haven't really changed much.
Hilarious, Teamie!.
Takes me back. Way back. My experience was fun by comparison to this poor guy
Air Force training is way more professional now
Because I kept messing up. We had to do pushups in the dorms because of me...
I am not volunteering to be no chow runner no thankyou I'll do another job lol

All of these mtis were there in 2010 so around that time
Haha, I miss the old Predators. Too bad they had to change THAT name. lol
agreed, they all went soft! haha
Sydney Parker this was recorded in 2010
Detail! Make a hole!
Why was that SSgt standing at attention like a trainee?
His flight earned honor flight and that was the deal he made with them.
Oh wow, after taking a closer look and reading some of these comments I realized the trainee was TSgt Linder. I used to work with him at Holloman.
brettdeweese so they made a bet for him to be a trainee for a day lmao
HAHA! Yeah it can suck, but then again if he gets it right it's painless!
The end of the video is what I'm talking about thoughThe trainee in the majority of the video probably really acts like that. There are some weird people that come through!
"Pratt" is definitely an MTI. Lol. Funny tho. The haircut, boots, & taps are a dead give away.
This is fake. Trainees don't get freakin fades in BMT fyi.
Joshua Garcia this is the instructor doing a parody
This cant be real
After Marine boot camp it is so painful to watch the other forces' boot camps. They have it way too easy
You're so cool
If you harrass anyone on this video, I will contact google.
Lmao that's def an MTI he had the metal things on his boots
I love it, but I hated it 😒😂
That abuse in the dining room is uncalled for meals should be relaxed
omg, there is just nothing to say here.
I'll never forget getting reamed like that at the snake pit...
Shit nightmares are made of lol

i'm sorry. i can't see myself getting nervous with these guys as MTIs. I've been to high school and its practically the same.
It's old-school to joke around and giggle like a bunch of pre-teen girls? My ass.
good training, they will need that in an act of war.
How the hell is that one guy a SSgt and he's going through BMT? Something doesn't add up.
