Answer 2

They get promoted really fast. They stay at very clean places (5 starts)!!! and they don't have to deal with the mess on the ground.

Answer 3

You'll learn every thing there. Just do what you're told when you're told. Don't write any letters after lights out during the first 2 weeks, TI's come in during the night without taps. It's not that bad, it seems like it when you're there. You basically get paid to fold clothes. Also, if you use gallon zip lock bags to fill your duffel for Warrior Week they fit perfectly in the bottom of the bag. You can fit a full days worth of clothes in one bag. Email me if you have any more questions.

Answer 4

That is very smart to go ahead and learn the ranks and commands before going in. You might also want to read about some Air Force history (like the birthday, Sept 18 1947).

I highly recommend practicing the physical stuff too. Running, sit ups and push ups.

Good luck!
