Montgomery Conley whines so much.

I hope we get a "where are they now" episode, since this all happened two years ago. It would be interesting to see if they all made it through tech school (some don't, even in "easy" AFSCs), kept their noses clean, etc., and how they feel about their decision to join up at this point in their enlistment. Bayless in particular, going in to Special Warfare, would have had a high mountain to climb to grad out and get to the operational side since the attrition rate there is so high.

I watched all 8 chapters and now have a better insite on what to expect! I'm 38 an about to join! My Family is military, three generations worth, my father 24 yrs Air Force, 2 aunts, Grandpa and both my brothers served and its going to be an honor to serve my country just like my family has before me! 🇺🇲

If anyone’s watching this that heads out soon and you do not have family that can come to you during the Airman ceremony don’t be disheartened. I was alone and had no one there for me but my friends family that “adopted” me and I spent graduation wknd with them. It sucks going through a big moment alone but always know there’s people that support you.

Lollar's demeanor changed after graduating and getting her top choice of assignments. She definitely had more pep and confidence. I am sure she will eventually be an attorney whether in JAG, federal practice, or the private sector.

Going through the recruiting process right now and will go to meps early 2022 and go to basic late 2022 I really enjoy how we get to see a first hand experience on what they go through.

[@kimberlyriseden965]

Never too late to make a change in life! I just turned 40 and I leave Jan 25th for basic for the ANG 134th ARW. These videos were a great insight on what to expect. Good luck to all of us embarking on our journey!

Craziest thing about Graduation.. you had to say goodbye twice: Once after graduation to your family, and then Once to your wingmen that leaves to their Tech School.

[@goodvibsgaming4107]

I’m studying so hard and working hard everyday to be a proud member of the United States Airforce God bless America and God bless us all

If you look closely you can see the very moment COVID showed up to BMT in this vid. 🤣

[@RogersGirl88]

I think anyone who did it will agree:

[@Jcalvo09]

Whoever directed this, or even worked on it, you are amazing.

[@Gigalisk]

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTARY.

[@eckertusaf]

Gonna be sad when this ends! Great job on this series! I looked forward to it every Thursday, I recently retired after 21 years in. Basic feels like yesterday

I've completed basic training last week and I'm currently in tech school. I have to say I joined the Air Force for all the benefits that comes with it, I also did join for the good cause but it took me until the coin ceremony and Lt. Colonel Fensterer speech on the struggles we've been through, and our values as Airman, expectations and obstacles that we faced and will face, and my MTI saying congratulations as he placed his coin in my hand, I had to stay still in attention but I couldn't stop crying so much, all the memories, hard, funny, sad, all the struggles my dorm and flight faced together came to my mind all the way back from the night we arrived under the H room doing short choppy steps, getting 2nd Issue OCPs, doing details for the day 0 trainees (week 5) and so on, it made me very grateful for values and the mission they trusted me with and all the words they said like moving with a sense of urgency, striving for excellence and integrity not being just a word became so clear and relatable. that's the only time I cried at BMT and made me realize how joining the Air Force was the best decision I've made.

[@darthrev1307]

Ive been watching this series since the start and I leave for BMT on Jan 3rd 2022 super ready to start my new life.

[@chuck8974]

After watching the entire documentary, I feel like I know these young people and am as proud of them as their family was to see them graduate.

[@elenagarner2180]

I watched all 8 episodes over my fall break. I loved that the Air Force showed this raw and real footage of BMT. You don't see this kind of stuff all the time. I'm a freshman in highschool hoping to get into the Air Force Academy and this was an amazing experience to watch the men and women success in the 37th Training Wing. I'm hoping that it'll be me in that uniform one day soon.

My son is currently at BMT ending week 3. This docu-series is very insightful on what he's experiencing each day. I write letters throughout the week to be sure he has mail to open. It's difficult to see some trainees not have mail and be able to read an encouraging word from home, especially seeing how difficult this process is mentally.
