Air Force Basic Military Training Graduation

Been there done that in Jan-Feb ‘83 BMTS 3723/FLT035.. I do remember it all now 🇺🇸👍

Did you get to pick what stands to sit in? I noticed north stands are shady...I'm worried about lupus rash if we get there at 7am.

It my turn now I want to feel this pride and honor.

Brings back memories from 1982 3708 BMTS. The oath of allegiance was taken before even going to LAFB, I’m guessing it’s changed since.

One day I will join army ❤

This’ll be my brother in a couple months! ❤

Why do the squad instructors walk backwards? It looks silly.

spaceforce what do u do anything with aliens wow u are so useful thank u for your survice. picking on military is fun as long u dont mean it

Where are their chairs? Do they get issued them after graduation?

I am super excited to see my daughter graduate Aug 16th/17th. Did they allow you to bring a GoPro or are you using your phone? Congrats to her bro!

OMG, seeing bmt grounds again, is bringing back a lot of memories.

This will be me in a year hopefully

You guys are sooooo lucky

Congrats, do you know what came of the young lady you streamed with before basic !?

I can't wait to see my son on 5/10 & 5/11/23 graduating from Air force bootcamp

My son is about to swear in this weekend & I have mixed feelings. I’m educating myself on what to expect! 🥹

Hard to believe that I was at Lackland Air Force Base from February to March 1979, forty-four years ago this month! Time sure does fly. Retired in March 1999, twenty-four years ago next month, after doing my part for God and country. Aim high, everyone.

THAT'S CRAZY! I was at BMT at the same time as Makenna. I graduated the week before her on the 20th. That's wild

Do you have the whole weekend too spend time with family or just graduation day?

Looking for 3/24/22 ceremony

Every graduation video I just cry. I just envision myself here one day, in person, hearing that same speech, receiving my pin and whatever else comes, and finally becoming an Airman.
I remember watching Kyles videos some years back. So glad to see you here as well.
We almost have the same story: we have that burning desire that just won’t allow us to stop thinking about the Air Force, despite others being not so encouraging. But I’m so glad that you listened to yourself and I am going to try again.

I was in this cycle too. 709 commanders and beast excellence!

Wishing all the best! Would think hard considering making a career out of it, not a bad lifestyle. . . . ol' Army Vietnam vet.

This is seriously so exciting! I’m so happy to finally see Makenna doing what she’s been wanting to do for years now! My husband just joined the Air Force and just left for BMT this past Tuesday! Also in all honesty I feel like he and I would’ve never been mentally ready or as prepared for this big step in our lives if it wasn’t for you guys and your channel! Looking forward to see how you guy’s journey progresses now that she’s in!

It’s empty , did they change the ceremony?

Bro! One time my flight started to sing the AF song in the shower. MTI came in screaming to shut up, but it was so funny to know other dudes in my flight watched your videos lol

What happens when none of your family or friends show up? You just gon stand there till its over?

After watching your videos for over a year as I started my Air Force journey, I finally became a member after crying watching this! Thank you Makenna and Kyle for all the work you put into this channel. Your videos have been so helpful. You helped me choose my career field (3D1X2 Cyber Transport Systems) and are still helping me pack to ship out in exactly two weeks. Makenna, can't wait to see when you graduate from Tech School! Kyle, the haircut looks great! Good luck to everyone else in this thread who is preparing to ship out. No matter what age or stage of life we're in, we got this y'all!

So happy for you congrats

Congratulations Airmen. But I do feel compelled to say..."Go Navy" LOL

Man she was so happy that’s a wholesome moment glad to see.

Impressive, I completed BMT January 1965 my Flight did not have a ceremony like this.

What happened to the parade field?

Congratulations!! My fiancé is at AF BMT right now 😢 do they get some parts of the weekend of graduation to spend with family too or just the Thursday of graduation day?

This is new we graduated in ABU'S! One team one fight

You’re blessed to have a graduation like this. Mines was live streamed, in ocps. Instead my coin I got a elbow bump because they were back ordered on the coin smh

Where's Dee Dee

i want to join so bad, i need to lose weight :) hopefully soon 🙏🏼

awesome to see parents back at graduation. brings a tear to my eye that parents can finally experience their boy or girl going through military graduation again even if attendance is still limited.

Congrats! Welcome to the best branch In my opinion. I joined back in may of 2018 and boy seeing how much has changed is a shocker. Surprised they did your guys formation in blues. Look great nonetheless. Again Congrats on making it through the first hurdle. Get ready to the ground running for tech school. (Flight 473 Wolf pack. Lead the way!)

I'm not even in the military but idk why this makes me so emotional and proud. 😅

This brings back memories for me lol

This was me 27 years ago. Can't believe it was so long ago. What a journey it was!!!! 323 BMTS, FLT W050. Class of 94. (TI) SSGT Jefferson!!!!

How many family members is each airmen allowed to bring with COVID going on?

My parents won't be coming.

Smell like fresh meat

I missed out on this as I entered with three years of JROTC and graduated earlier than the rest of my flight. Never got the photo, either. Looking back, I wish I had stuck around.

I never made it to my Air Force Basic graduation. That saddens me quite often, actually. Happy for Makenna though!
