LOL! 😂🤣😂

Bro yes! He swears like he’s the best guy there lol I had plenty of those in basic 😂

He’s a douche. He will probably try and be a rope in tech school and tell people about it at his first station.

He definitely looks like the type of guy named “Jonathan Simon” 🤣🤣

right what a toolbag. feel bad for whoever is supervisor is gonna be

I hope he isn't in a position of authority.

loll she made me laugh w that

I mean they were both right lol she just was very awkward about the situation. The other girl misunderstood how she was listing them

Come for the BMT knowedge. Stay for the Montgomery-Conley slander in the comments lmaoooo

he's a clown lol

I think it was the last episode he was yelling at the dude counting pushups for not counting his half way down push ups. Definitely not a guy I would want to work for me.

More like 80% but I was in a primary space force flight with only about 10 Air Force recruits. I wanted out of the flight. They acted just like Connelly. They also aren’t called trainees they go by guardian day one without even earning it first. Pisses me off.

Montgomery comes from a background of abuse and seems slighted his flight members come from a different perspective and background

@Rachel Banales hope he gets over his ego

I think the fact that he said that means that he lacks the discipline he talks about

Dude is a straight weirdo. He was getting chewed up every episode but wants to say everyone else is undisciplined lmao. I can guarantee 1 thing - if this dude makes operational this vid isn’t gna be a good look to whatever squadron he goes to lmao

@@jaeb4743 I watched through it and apparently this dude ended up getting into his career field as a air traffic controller

Hope he has gotten over himself and his ego thinking because he came from a poor background he's somehow better then everyone else

@@alexmason2659 I was thinking the same thing. Dude is weird AF.

​@@cmdrriotz5283I also didn't like how he talked to his wife in the first episode. He seemed distant and dismissive of her.

You can be petty but productive with other member of the flight. I'm sure he's not the only one who feels that way. He just happens to be the only person interviewed who said it. You find that type of attitude in any work environment.

@@nottherealjkThat’s true. But if you look into the previous episodes, I would say he’s not all that he claims to be. He wasn’t absolutely terrible but he wasn’t good either.

I kind of get wheres he’s coming from though. The lazy people are normally the ones who have had easy childhoods. Expecting things to get handed to them, then the entire flight of 50+ is constantly punished and held back because they lack the disciple.

@@mariahsjourney356 It’s why those kind of people shouldn’t be in the military. If they’re so lazy and laid back and don’t listen to others and or do what they’re told and listen to people of proper authority, the military is not for them. Plain and simple.

Seems like his complaining (whether it’s to the cameras in privacy or to others not in his flight) is his coping mechanism, unfortunately I don’t think he realizes how that open complaining affects those around him and how they view him. He may be king of the misfits but that still makes him a misfit too

Let’s go Vander✋🏼🤛🏼🔥🔥🔥

Aww

he's a clown

Private Joker

How'd it go?

How did it go

Would love to know how it went

Come get some! Pride, character, excellence!

Yeah mad annoying, won’t last with an attitude like that.

@@jessemora7351 Book Depository

I think he’s just tired of all 50+ people in the flight being held back and punished because some ppl lack discipline and expect things to be handed to them.

@@mariahsjourney356 You're not get disciplined for others actions all the time in basic. You could have the best guys around you, and you're still gonna push. I guarantee 95% of guys there don't expect rhe TI's too "hand them" anything.

I graduated in 2014 too!!

The usaf after the ending of war on terror iraq and afganistan, the usaf realized that they need it more pt and combat training,the usaf bmt was to soft in the 80s and 90s, they ned more combat related training.

I'm late, but I went through BMT in summer of 1991. 6 weeks only, no warrior training. We had the obstacle course (confidence course), 1/2 day of weapons classroom training, 1/2 day of range training to qualify with the M16, and that was it. I did chuckle on the Chain of Command part. Is it Wing first, or Group? 7 years later, it comes second hand. Also the sheet listing ranks!

@@timetheory84 You have no idea of what you are talking about.

Plus the TI's back then were meaner lol.

Semper supra! How was your time at Vandyland? You would've left before I got there

Twas good; it was pre Covid during the summer so got to go to LA and Santa Barbra a few times. Black rope and didn’t get re classed which was the goal lol

@@ayyjayywhyy5846 Ah that's good. I joined up during covid, so SM and Lompoc were our local area. Clear rope representing lol

I still can’t stop from laughing when I see Space Force. And wtfIS a Space Operator? Is it like a Combat Applications Operator? Call names like Hondo & Slick?

Semper supra from vandy land brother

They are completely separate now. They have more advanced physical training, which includes more rucking and swimming with other skills like knot tying.

I was noticing this too. I went through in ‘97. It’s good to see the separation and more intense physical training for those Airmen.

And your BMT was probably better than the one for my parents, who went in '88.

I went through in '75. You are so right, focus was on the basic military skills (didn't have to qualify with the M16, just firing it), not like what airmen go through now. Serious respect to these young troopers.

This is a flight whose trainees’ AFSC (job) will be in Special Warfare, so they get a little extra PT in

As someone who recently went through the process, your biggest struggle is going to be your relationships with your flight members. Make friends and DONT start grudges, it'll do nothing but hold you back and keep you from the help you need. Take your time and study the material you're given, everything is important and will help you later in your career, even the mundane stuff like history. Most of all DONT let your fear overpower you, your MTI is there to help you, and leadership is only there to move you forward. It's all a mental game, even the physical parts.

Me too; I leave on the 12th.

I’m still in high school, but I wish you the best of luck! :)

Hey bro i leave July 26th as well! Hope to see ya!

Shipping out the 26th as well!!

He'll probably grow a lot before then. I've seen people like him transform over their careers.

ROFL. Died when I saw that part.

Have you got a ship date yet?

@@captaineric5276 unfortunately, I changed my mind :( the process was so long and it was made even longer bcs of a condition I had. I got surgery on the condition, but there’s a 30% chance of it coming back and I didn’t want to risk it, so I’m going to university instead.

@@saneun4861 I’m so sorry to hear that 😟 I’m actually graduating college this spring and hoping to leave for BMT before the end of this year. Best advice I can give you for college is to talk and get to know everyone around you, including your professors, that way you can have someone to refer to when that time comes for internship and job hunting. Good luck!

Hi was the ASVAB test hard? I’m so nervous especially because I suck at math

@@chrisr2555 I took a few asvab practice tests to see where I was, and math was the hardest part for me too. Other than that, the test is quite easy. the most important things you need to know about is math formulas and grammar. I watched KZfaq videos for arithmetic reasoning and math knowledge, and I studied for those exclusively. If you’re at least average in math, you’ll do good on the asvab :)

The sandbag pt is for SW flights

I was at Disneyland during 2016 and we didn’t do these kinds of exercises

Hope have done your push ups, pull ups, sit ups, and running 3 mos prior to Shipping. That was my shock in PT. Road dogging it too ☠☠

it’s easy don’t psych yourself out. Good luck.

@@sunshinesideoflife7710 It really isn’t bad physically, even the lower level fitness people get through just fine 😂

@@noelle707 Maybe it's easier now. 23 yrs ago it wasn't that easy. Not saying you can't push yself through but if you haven't done any PT before you will be in the suck and hurting. Why not prepare so you not hurting? I made it but many others did not because they weren't prepared.

Same! Best of luck brother🔥

Roll gator roll 🐊

That how it was for us back in 2011. 324th Flt 615

@@kennethcole1886 Fellow 324?? Nice! My Flt was 593. Crazy seeing that your flight number was so close to mine, 10 years after me. Especially since they deactivated the 324th for a time and brought it back. I wouldn't have thought they'd still have been able to push over 1000 flights in that amount of time since it was deactivated from May 2014 to June 2016.

Air Force is for softies and toe rubbers 🥱😹 bmt is literally no more intense than my ranger summer camps loll

I went through the 324th a year and a half ago and it's still like that. Taps for us played first....

Superset

Retired Air Force here. It is slowly moving towards a more combat mindset. When I went through in 98 it was 7 weeks of marching and gym class. Focusing on attention to detail. 90% of AF jobs are mainly support type activities. Once you get out of basic and onto tech school is when if you are in a more combat oriented job you get the training. My first 4 years I was a fighter crew chief and only time we saw weapons was on our yearly qual training. I cross trained after my 4 into Helicopter Flight Engineer doing Combat Rescue rest of my career. 12 months of training for the job doing survival schools and flight schools and aircraft weapons training. Once at unit they send you through advanced shooter courses and at the range all the time to get you proficient and capable with all types of weapons. We would also do Joint training exercises doing small team tactics, overland with our PJ's to enable us to work as a solid team in any situation. What really got the push was during OEF and OIF when Airmen were getting tasked with convoy duty and really seeing how far behind the curve our combat training was. We will eventually get there, but I dont ever seeing it getting to Army or Marine standards. You guys go through hell.

he's a chump

He was actually pretty friendly and always there to help anyone who needed a hand. Not sure why he was different in the interviews but he’s a good dude and he has my respect.

best of luck with, BMT, your career, and afterward. 👍

Listen to your MTI and do your absolute very best every day because it will end w/ you Graduating 👍🏼. It’s the best job, no matter which AFSC, you will ever have in your life 🇺🇸 … I know, the AF made me leave after 28-years 🤣🤣🤣.

Same here bro

The vast majority of active duty Air Force are NEVER actually "deployed".

I been in for 13 years. Been deployed 8 times. It depends on your job. And I’m aircraft maintenance. Volunteer for TCN duty or whatever it is called now.

@@Scjon03 I work on f15 engines, though I'm in a backshop and we rarely deploy, my counterparts on the flightline deploy pretty much every year. The problem is the whole shop will volunteer for tcn duty but they'll only pick two people. My only hope is to go the the flightline, which is also rare.

@@amazinglats6020 Yeah backshop. Best to be to not get deployed. I’m a crew chief. That’s why I went into backshop to get away from deployments. Been there done that. But yeah man. Good luck to you until you PCA out of your current shop and depending where you go. It isn’t that bad.
