Will the air force keep me in shape?

Question

so the air force gets the best housing and food and all that

but if i go there and decide to stay for 8 years.. will it keep me in shape??.. will i literally be lookin like a soldier with a good ripped toned body

how does it work?.. and also how is it in other branches

and also, do officers ahve to work out to?

Answer 1

here is the run down, as far as best housing and food and what not, you will most likely be sent over seas and living in barracks. nothing is the best. it all sucks. for food, its all from the same place. no one branch is better than the other. the airforce will keep you in shape if you want to be in shape. if thats all you are going in for, then get out. we need people that want to serve their country and be part of something great. the marines keep you in the best shape unless you are in spec forces in other branches. from what a retired AF guy told me, the AF BCT is a joke. Marines go for 5 weeks longer. Officers work out more than enlisted do. We have to be in better shape than them. We have to train them to meet our standards. How can we tell them to do something when we dont do it ourselves? military officers lead by example.

Answer 2

of coarse.....every branch of military keeps u in shape....if u plan on flying planes in the air force ur body is gonna be in shape and able to with stand alot...if ur looking to be in shape and a challenge  go marines......if u wanna be a beast in shape and a challenge go NAVY SPECIAL FORCES  (NAVY SEALS OR SWCC)

Answer 3

The military has mandatory fitness requirement. Once you are out of Basic Training you are responsible for keeping your own butt in gear. If you wish to stay in the military you will be given physicals and if the shadow of your *** weighs 50 pounds,you will have X amount of time to get back in shape or out the gate.

Answer 4

no - you will need to keep yourself in shape, otherwise... don't let the door hit you on the way out

Especially in the air force where PT consists of riding a bicycle...

Answer 5

yes but after basic and after tch school people gain some wieght back

Answer 6

The AF will definetly keep you in shape. I don't know about the ripped toned body..but you will be in great shape. Alot of the training will keep you looking good. Also depending on the job you take..you will probably work out alot in the AF. Yes officers get alot of working out especially in OCS & other officer training schools. It is pretty much the same in all branches. The marines would probably keep you the fittest just because their training is the most difficult. & the AF doesn't get the best housing & food. All branches get the same benefits. So any branch would get those same things.
