![UCF Professor Richard Quinn accuses class of cheating [Original]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rbzJTTDO9f4/mqdefault.jpg)
1:50 Trainees arrive at the PRC (Pfingston Reception Center) and are issued basic gear including a backpack, flashlight, reflective belt, hygiene items, APECS parka, etc... before marching back to the dormitories for the first night. Basically anything they would need right away, before first issue or before they have a chance to visit the BX for the first time. We pay for them first time to the BX.
2:50 Depending which dormitory you are assigned to some still have bunks. You were looking at "Disneyland" (ATC dorms) in the video. "Alcatraz" (RH&T dorms) have the bunks (from other airmen I've talked to).
3:20 No cell phones. My wife was quick to chime in that over 8.5 weeks she got 2 phone calls. Some flights I talked to only got one if they weren't doing well.
6:18 I don't remember what the rope is called either. The green duct tape on the belts was for marking hydration. We had to track our hydration every day on that tape and replace it if it became illegible.
8:40 Air Force also calls them dormitories and the trainees on watch are called Entry Controllers or ECs.
9:40 The clipboards are typically used for making better, tighter beds, but just for trainees who needed the crutch. We made better beds, faster, without them. Learn to do without them.
10:13 I was part of a male flight, but I don't think the female trainees had to have their hair in a bun for PT. The rest of the day their hair would be up according to dress code.
11:30 We could wear watches at all time. Definitely no Subway on Fridays. Our flight earned one "base liberty" where we had 2 hours to go to the BX, eat fast food and be back to the dorm.
13:50 Not drill instructors, MTIs (Military Training Instructors). The one you were looking at is a Blue Rope, which means he is one of the top 10% of all MTIs at Basic Military Training (BMT).
14:49 Trainees, not airmen recruits. Once they graduate BMT they can finally be called Airmen. Any that you saw actually eating Subway or Papa John's were either on their 1 base liberty, in Tech School, or breaking the rules and risking getting recycled a couple of weeks.
Why isn’t this getting any thumbs up? This is 100% factual lol.
Mulattè that’s what I’m saying he literally answered all their questions throughout the video lol. A lot has changed since this guy talked to an airman going through bmt cause we definitely didn’t get our phones on weekends and alcatraz is was whole different world from Disneyland.
drill instructor: CONNECT TO THE WIFI, NOW!
air force trainee dude: wHAt iS ThE paSsWOrd sIr!!!1?!1?
drill instructor: AIRFORCEISAWESOME! NOW TYPE IT IN!
idk what air force trainers are called only marines sorry
Training Instructors or "TI's".
Hyperion lol
They’re called MTI’s, Military Training Instructors
😆
She shot my mans down😔 didn’t want your last name
Or the kid
Ye sad
She don’t want my last name but she’s gonna get this kid one way or another
@@AustenAlexander lmao, you let her know 💪
@@AustenAlexander Watch Jordan Peterson's pov of that matter
Few questions they had answered. Air Force gets three 15 min phone calls throughout all of basic training which is pretty standard across all branches. We got one 2 hour base liberty during our fourth week which is what he was referring to when he said he would see trainees at Popeyes or subway. The clipboards are not a checklist but instead used to tuck the sheets and blankets in tighter and to make hospital corners. As far as bunk beds go there are older barracks where the dormitory is bunk beds but the new dormitories( the ones shown in the video) are all single beds. Hope this helps
*proposes with dip can* me: this man is American AF
she said yes off camera
Austen Alexander lol if that’s true congrats man
Austen Alexander To the dip.
Not even joking I was like I feel like there is a video missing from this series lol
Yep this sealed the deal
Space Force 😂
BUD/S
Russian army
USCG?
Hey just wanted to address that Air Force doesn’t get their phones on the weekends they go in a lock box and you don’t get them til the day after graduation. And yes it is in lackland.
boo boo
REMM11 ?
I did bmt in keesler tho
Yeah it’s still the easiest basic training lmao
I got mine once a week for 20 mins & I graduated July 16, so not long ago
The phone calls home, trips to the bx, and patio breaks are all forms of positive reinforcement. They were used as incentives. Not everyone got them, it was rare.
Ahhhh gotcha
Patio breaks, did we also get a cigar and a glass of wine
The Air Force is a good place to train you to be a GS employee.
Army incentive was to be the best and rest while the others got smoked. Reinforced team work and kept you motivated. Continue to be the best or get smoked while others took a break.
Austen: “Air-force people in the comment are probably saying Actually I didn’t get any subway or phone calls”
Me: *stops typing* “I mean you aren’t wrong.”
The clipboards are generally used to make the beds tighter. It’s not for a checklist
Trainees get issued uniforms. They prepay for necessary items for studying etc. Cell phones are given only once a week minimum 15 min. Field training is called the BEAST. They have obstacles, but none all that difficult. More cardio stressful than anything. Low crawling uphill is more cardio challenging than most think. They ensure all instructors are authorized to enter. The clipboards are to assist with bed making (Not necessary). They make beds as a team but not necessary. Air Force standards woman can have hair down for PT. You can wear watches. You can't go to BX and get subway UNLESS you are on base liberty or town pass as a reward for graduating or excelling beyond expectations. You don't always yell as a drill instructor to make a point. Positive reinforcement and negative feedback is used in tandem.
Can females wear their hair short
@@AskewBlueCanoe short answer is yes
I wonder witch military youtuber is going to be the first to react to space force basic
I’ve been waiting for it to come out
Space Force ain’t big enough for their own. They do Air Force for now.
angry cops
It’s been a dream of mine to join the Air Force but due to my mental illnesses, lung problem and possible fibromyalgia I can’t serve and be apart of the family that is the armed forces. Regardless all the love and positivity to those who will serve/are serving/have served. Thank you for your service everyone❤️
I feel u on mental illness. I have always wanted to be in the navy because my grandpa was in it but like I said I feel u
Sorry for that is just sad
I’m not saying you should I’m just pointing out that a LOT of people lie to MEPS
I feel u i got spina bifida so i cant walk
If you have a serious problem like a heart problem, I highly discourage lying to MEPS. My buddy had a battle buddy in basic with a heart problem die on the first day from a heart attack. He lied to get in because he wanted to make his family proud. Not saying Shame on him just don’t want to here it happen more. That was the army if you were wondering
I love that you finally did a video to rep my branch LMFAO. I thought id give some insight on some things you guys were confused about in the video. 1st we used clipboards to make our beds as crisp as possible, it was kind of like a cheat tool. 2nd At BMT you had to earn your cellphones and when you did, it would only be for a phone call between 5-20 minutes depending on what your flight did I.E my flight only got 3 phone calls during BMT. 3rd, yes we did get to go on BX runs/base passes again if your flight earned them. The MTI at the end of the video is solid, but not all of them are as nice/tame compared to him. It really just depends on the person/day. At BMT we are encouraged the help one another (wingman conept) so if you finished your details/beds before everyone else you are expected to to find someone to help or you got ROASTED. During the mid video they're at BEAST week and they didnt show all of the obstacle course , but that battle raddle is heavy asf. I love the videos and love you both. Keep it up!
The food thing wasnt every Friday, but my training instructor was a medic and he made a deal with us that we could get 30min to go to the shopette if we all donated blood first cause he was passionate about that
It’s so funny that they show like the zero week then immediately jump into Beast which is like 5th week 😂 so much trauma was glazed over. Lol
Been waiting fo this vid forever!!! I am seriously considering the Air Force and I love these kinds of videos.
Best of luck on your decision!
I’m considering the Air Force as well. Air Force or Navy when I’m older.
I love your videos Austen! You’ve helped inspire me to join the Navy over the other branches. Thank you for being a role model for many people and inspiring people to become better versions of themselves.
Hey Heather! I really appreciate that!! Best of luck to you
Austen and so many other people are too humble and never give themselves the credit that they deserve😌💖
Did this Fool just propose with a dip can???😂😂
She likes it lowkey
Something I'd do
@@AustenAlexander I was wondering if that was a real dip can. Skoal?
Austen Alexander Enough about your genitals.
Like my Sergeant once said,” I should’ve joined the f***ing Air Force.”
I like the work keep the work up.
I love this series! Also never been this early
you're the official first comment
If you do build a new course, reproduce the Army obstacle course at Fort Benning, czcams.com/video/277ICztS43M/video.html
I love this video!.
You should do a react to the military academy/schools, such as West Point or Annapolis
I have been waiting for this forever i have never seen the air force training this changes everything that i thought they did.
The “recruits” in subway were people in tech school or airman’s week
They were people in Tech school or stationed at the base.
You should definitely do a documentary on Air Force boot camp I plan on enlisting and it would be cool to see it in more detail
Im new to your channel and I love watching this and hearing you say you should buy land and know that you have! So awesome!
ngl i was binge watching Austen's videos when this was uploaded, never clicked so fast 🤣
I know I saw that you were watching...and I was like “oh heres you another one”
Lets all admit y'all Austen is the best vlogger. among the military vlogger. so informative💗
Really interesting when you post everything because Discipline is init which it is my favorite role part in life. ... thanks for your post and hope it will help everyone on how to change their life it will never change if they don't start on there self Firstly. ..
Anyway keep up your hard work and stay safe you two too.
Lastly, a very big thanks to those at military army navy boot camp for your service, we might not be safe like this but because of yours. .. God be with you all Americans .
I used to live by Langley AFB and I miss being woken up by the jets 😂
Thats so sweet that you have a special story for when Sarah is sad!!
I Waited for this patiently 🤘🤘🤘
You should react to the biggest fails in the military. Bunch of hilarious videos out there
“I’m popping the question!”..... PSYCH!!!😂😂 Like a True Playa!!!🤣🤣
Before I actually left for basic in the army, I spent some time in san Antonio and I went to lackland and looked around. It was the first base I had ever been on
Business Insider released a video about Day One at the USAFA. Could be a cool addition to this series.
Wish they woulda caught it on camera when the bird shit on my backpack on the way to the dfac.
😂😂
DFAC is AF and ARMY
Galley for Sailor and Marines
The video that started it all right here. At least for what I've been watching from him. Right where he got the idea to make an obstacle course
Those jackets backpacks and basic supplies you saw on the beds are issued on the first night after you've been split into individual flights
One of my favorite things about these type of videos is Sarah's expression in the thumbnail. Austen strikes again.
The clip of the obstacle course is called mole hill and that whole week where we do expeditionary training is called BEAST week
The obstacle course is literally only a day too, Idk why the Air Force makes it seem like it’s regular PT lol
Jem Mixon im sorry but your comment didn’t make any sense everyone in BMT goes through the same training except Special Warfare they do more PT in BMT but regardless everyone goes through the same obstacle course and everyone goes through BEAST week. Also no one said it was everyday pt he was saying that the Air Force likes to make BMT look tough when it’s actually pretty easy.
Cristian Romero hardest part for me was staying awake during the classes and this was in ‘96 when basic was six weeks long
Jem Mixon not to be rude but you don’t know everything about it until you’re there and yes I’m in already been in for a while now just because you’re in DEP doesn’t mean you’re in. You’re not even a trainee yet lol
Jem Mixon that is not at all what I was trying to say. I said the Air Force is trying to make it seem like it is regular PT, which it clearly isn’t, by shoving it in every basic training video with no explanation. Please don’t try to correct me considering that I’ve gone through BMT and you’re still in DEP.
20 years ago, we got our field jackets first thing the night we arrrived......after that is a blur lol
Upon getting to BMT, you get issued a 72 hour backpack with all your essentials and a eccw jacket. You don’t get to keep your phone nor use it on the weekends btw
Where’s the ice cream stand? 😂 No offense Air Force I love you guys!
Stop hating!............It’s right next to cheese cake.
DUDE! EXcuse ME!?.....ice cream is only out during Saturdays...
There are only two ice cream options and it’s kinda hidden besides the salad bar, I’m not kidding.
There are dessert rotating coolers. When I went through, you only got them after warrior week, just like soda.
@@MiguelHernandez-nx8pw I never saw ice cream, that peanut butter was amazing tho
Loving it
I just downloaded the boot camp blueprint. Very good stuff! Thanks for providing it for free
no problem!! If you utilize it, it will work wonders!
💌Hi, I completely respect ANYONE and EVERYONE who has been in the military, going into the military or who are in the military right now. They do SO SO SO much for us and I am very thankful. Not just anyone can do that. So thank you Austen and anyone else❤ 100% love and respect to you & military families.😘😘
truly , i appreciate their hard work :(❤️
H20 Slushy good luck x
Correct.
I’m joining the marines mostly so I can just see the world
Hi
I enjoy your reaction videos! Looking forward to the NAVY SEALs bootcamp video. 👍
Air Force never kept their phones at least not when I went through 4 years ago.
This is my favorite couple right here you guys are so funny🤣
I love how every reaction video is someone saying the other branch is harder
Hi Austen! Is it possible to make videos about what you eat, cooking advices, etc.? :)
Very entertaining videos Austen! Keep up the great work! Your girlfriend is great and funny btw! Hooyah! ⚓🇺🇸
Wow their DS is so supportive and encouraging.
3:19 I’m in the airforce and we definitely didn’t get to keep our phones we only got them back for 5 minutes twice for the call to home.
Sorry for posting again lol. We most certainly were not allowed to eat ANY civilian food the entire time we were at basic save for 1 "base liberty" my flight was awarded, and then obviously during graduation weekend. On Saturday's we were allowed to go to BX shopette and buy a limited amount of items. There were TIs and other permanent party personal at the BX making sure nobody went to any of the fast food places. One guy in my flight was washed back several weeks for buying a snickers bar at the BX and hiding it in his security drawer. So yea, no subway on fridays lol
I am actually considering going to the Air Force when I grow up, to be a mechanical engineer. This is amazing keep up the good work!
Do it! Best decision I’ve made you’ll get roasted but your quality of living is great😂
Lenny Montalbano, thanks! I think it would be an amazing experience!
Yes you should do it (I was a CC on A-10 and F-5F) and become a mechanical engineer. Like me, I now help build space satellites. Really help on getting your mind set. Go Air Force!
yued9898 thanks for encouraging me to become a mechanical engineer in the Air Force! I am really looking forward to it! 😀
@@rhett4959 There is really no ME in the Air Force. You would first have to graduate in a college to become a ME, then join the AF as an officer and do some ME work in the AF. You can enlist in the AF and take after work classes to become a ME. You will have to enlist in some job that required some mechanical background to help you understand what a ME does. Good luck to you, always work hard and Aim High.
9:42 If I remember correctly the clip boards were used to measure hospital corners, the space between the blanket and the head rail, and area between the bed and the blanket
You were probably seeing the Security Forces trainees eatting or the BMT trainees going on BX run to get hygiene stuff or supplies
alrrady know this video a banger
The reason they all have clip boards is help tuck the dust covers and sheets tighter underneath the bed!
yeah no not even during covid could we keep our phones. we also lived in "The gallows" where we had bunks and the old school lockers. everything was falling apart and the building didnt have proper AC. just graduated over a month ago in june
Not sure if anyone commented this but the reason the have backpacks filled with stuff is because the night you get there (after you’ve done all the paperwork stuff) you get that backpack issued to you which has everything you’ll need throughout basic for example shampoo, writing utensils, notebooks, towels, mesh bags for laundry etc.
😂😂 popping the question with the dip!
Keep up the good work !!
Thank you
Austen Alexander np
Love the content
Thanks Nate Dog
He has a cute accent😍
🌟Almost as cute as 0:04😄 she even has her own microphone awww❤
The clip boards they have while making their bed are used to tighten the sheets and blankets to make it wrinkle free! A trick we used when I went through
The clip boards are used to get creases out of the beds. We really didn’t get any check lists when I went through
lol the clipboards were to help make the beds, our hands would get tore the f***k up from tucking sheets and having to do it under a certain time.
I'm currently in the AF.. I can tell you what they're missing in the videos off the bat... and those are the new dorms... of Disneyland... I was in the old dorms... they missed a lot in this video
Mannnn, I wish there was a better video for you all to see the experience of AF boot camp. But great video as always!
Hey Austen you guys should react to SEAL BUDS training
Coming up next!
Also just to clarify we didnt get our phones on the weekends you get it I believe third week and 6th week of training for about 10-15 min and it’s only to check bank info bills and calling relatives nothing more then you place them all in a bin and get them back when you graduate. Also the very beginning is arrival night they already have pre-made bags that you receive at the reception building that has everything you’ll need to last the first three weeks of training haircuts are usually later that week. And the BMT trainees you saw at the BX were in liberty pass you get one base liberty pass when in basic training unless your flight does extremely well and if your MTI is nice he can grant another one.
The flights that get to go to the BX are the really good flights that actually do what their supposed to. The bad flights never got to go.
That's good video because you're talking about real thing's .hard work .
to make things clear. we did not get our phones every weekend. we had scheduled phone calls to keep our families updated on graduation. we also did not get subway on Friday. the only way to get any fast food while in basic training was to receive base liberty for outstanding performance. which is really rare especially in Alcatraz.
Business Insider has made an Air Force one since you made this video. Would love to see you react to that one sometime.
Drill sergeants in the Air Force are called MTI’s military training instructor
Did you guys both just admit to always going commando? 😂
I think so
Even their obstacle course is nicer, that gravel looks nice honestly, no sand or mud going down your sleeves and sticking to your skin. We all wished we would have joined the AF back when I was at Army basic.
I gotta say it, we didn’t get to eat fast food or go to the Bx on fridays, and we got a 10min phone call every 3 weeks. Still not too bad I’ll admit anyone with any kind of drive behind them should be able to excel in BMT
Next in this series can you guys react to other countries' basic training? Like Canada, UK, Australia, etc...
Were still in lockdown here sucks too stay safe sara and austen hope u both good healthy hows life been where u from guys
If you saw them in subway it’s because our last week there it’s called “airman’s week” where it’s a transition week to prepare you for tech school. So they give you base liberty after you complete certain things throughout the day. And i never had my phone. I got my phone twice for 15 minutes each to make phone calls home but that was it.
Jackets are given at the airport during colder arival days
I noticed they are in newer dorms then i had when i went to basic back in 93. Also we had bunk beds and there was no cell phones back then lol
Lol we don’t get our phones on the weekends maybe 3x for about 10 mins throughout . This is also the newer basic with the newer dorms the old dorms had bunks and were worse
No phones on the weekend. You get APECS and all those supplies and book bag as soon as you get into the reception hall then you go directly to your squadron dormitory.
I just finished Navy boot camp and can 100% attest to the no skivvies tip!
Lackland AFB is in San Antonio, Texas. I read the comments and did not see any after 2028 or there about. July, 1961 I arrived , never less than 100 except at night. When it reached 110, we were supposed to go into our ww2 barracks. No AC, no fans , no screens on the windows, no ceilings, no insulated walls. Out TI would make us fall out for PT. No water bottles or water cooler. We had a drinking fountain with warm water and the water was pumped from a tank containing a lot of salt. Our fatigues were white from being covered with the salt we sweated out. Cell phones had not been invented back then. Our boots were rough skinned leather and they had to be spit shined. We keep our tee shirts and underwear on and washed them when we showered. Our towels and belts had to be rolled so tight that the TI could not see light through them. We had double tier bunks and no one helped you. The blankets had to be so tight that a quarter or cigarette pack would bounce. The tops of tooth paste ,combs, bottoms of boots were inspected each day. If anyone did not past inspection his foot locket was thrown into the shower and filled with water. There was no graduation, The TI tolded us to get the h#ll out of his barracks because a new squadron was moving in that day. My MOS was full and I could not leave with the rest. The TI told me to find another rack in another barracks. I stayed another 3 weeks, until I received orders to report to FT. Lee for combined arms training. In our 6th week of training, if we were on target, we got a" patio break". That was when you were allowed to smoke if you were a smoker. The most fun was when we went on the obstacle course for two weeks and the live fire exercises. Unfortunately one trainee was killed when he raised his head up to far while crawling under the barb wire. A machine gun was firing live ammo at a fixed elevation. The second was killed when he dropped a grenade and the TI could not pick it up fast enough and throw it into the cement lined barrel. I could go on and on. I thought some people might enjoy reading about ancient military training history. Good luck to all. Austen, love your videos. P.S. I'm 79 and still worked 5-6 hrs 7 days a week.
“If I made a obstacle course and made videos like that” wel look at you now Austin, your most popular videos are that now haha, good idea !
Austen with the fire content
thanks pham
Lmao I got asked by a friend back home why I chose the Air Force. I replied “I’m smart enough to have a choice” granted I wish basic training tougher shit was 8 1/2 weeks of summer camp looking back 😂😂
Don’t wish that before I join 😂
Your content is great. Congratulations.
Thank you
In Army BCT we got watches because the DS didn't want us ever to be late.
Lackland is the home of Air Force basic training, but it is also home to numerous technical schools where airmen go right after basic. (Security Forces, Services, etc.) So the airman seen at Subway were most certainly not in basic training, but were rather tech school students who had already graduated basic training.
When I was there (in the '90s -- yeah, I'm old), we never got to go anywhere in basic -- with the exception of a couple "base liberty" trips which were nothing more than going out to the BX to buy more toothpaste or soap, or whatever. (The only other liberty we got was the evening of graduation where we were allowed to go off base with our family, who'd flown in for the ceremony, for a couple hours.)
But once you graduate basic, and if you're starting a career field where your technical training is also based at Lackland, you're given some more leeway. Yet you look the same as a recruit -- with the exception of maybe having slightly longer hair. (Same uniform, same E-1 rank for the most part.) I remember myself and others in my tech school squadron always intentionally avoiding the areas of the base where recruits train for fear of being confused by someone (particularly an NCO) as a recruit and getting screamed at for being somewhere we weren't supposed to be. Even though we weren't in basic anymore, we still feared the TIs (drill instructors) and knew they'd be considered right and we considered wrong (which would get back to our tech school instructors) if a negative encounter were to happen.
And since I'm so damned old, I didn't have to worry about cell phones back then. They didn't exist. But all our personal property (basically one carry on bag we arrived with) was taken away and secured in a closet, and only given back to us the night after graduation. I do remember some guys getting their bag back and listening to music on their Walk Mans that night. Our TI (drill instructor) came in and ripped them a little bit -- but not much -- it was the last night we were spending there after all, and I think that's why he went pretty easy on them. But aside from that, we never had possession of anything that wasn't specifically issued to us by the Air Force -- with the exception of toiletries which we had to buy at one of the stores on base.
They show Disney Land which is the new dorms, over in the old dorms we had bunks in half the bay and we only got our phones when our instructors deemed it so and we only had them to call family for like 10- 15 min at most. I got to call maybe 5 times, 1 was to let my family know I arrived and I was told what to say, 2 were calls to family that were given, 1 was for a hurricane so I could make sure my family in Florida was okay, and 1 so that I could tell my family the graduation schedule.
