1. Are there any movies or television shows that accurately depict what basic training is like in the air force and or navy?
2. I have a stationary exercise bike I am using in my room to get in shape. How many minutes and how many days a week do I need to use it to be ready for basic training? I want to be the best conditioned person coming into air force basic training?
3. How do you graduate as an honor graduate from air force basic training?
1. AFAIK, no/none that I've seen. Again, BMT is
very soft. As long as you aren't a complete fukk-up or a fat fukk you should be alright. BMT is exactly what it says on the can:
basic. If BMT is something that you'd worry about, a military career might not be the way to go.
2. You need to be running. A stationary bike is cool for *additional* conditioning, but your primary method of getting in shape
must be running. No other way around it. Running is free and doesn't require any equipment; either do it during the day, during lunch, before bed, or wake up early.
See my previous post about old fukkboy who never worked out before showing up; he got his ass booted out not even half-way through and won't ever be joining the armed services again.
Be smart enough to program computers but not smart enough to google BMT PT standards, brehs.
Standard BMT fare for running is like 25-30 minutes 3 times a week. A stationary bike won't be an option (they don't ask y'all if you want to run
) in BMT; there is no more bike test in the AF, and PT is such an easy way to get bounced, whether you're in BMT or AD. But to answer your question, 3x a week minimum for 25-30 minutes at whatever your heart rate for a 11:56-pace 1.5 mile run would be. Bike (and a stationary bike at that) only and you're gonna be in for a bad time.
3. Nobody will care if you get Honor Grad or not, but if you want it personal reasons, follow these simple rules:
1) Don't fail anything. PT evals, inspections, nothing.
2) Don't get in trouble. Getting washed back, multiple 341s pulled, etc is any easy way to get that dream nixed.
3) Don't be a Blue Falcon. fukking over your battle buddies won't make you look better to your MTIs; it just shows you're an a$$hole who can't be counted on to be a part of the team.
4) Do your detail well. Doesn't really matter what is it, just do a good job and try to do it quickly or thoroughly.
The people who get it are usually the people that just do their best and help the flt the most. YMMV.
