[IRockVNecks]

[NerveCentertainment]

my girlfriends graduating on march 22nd! Looking forward to a little trip from Cali to see my girl again!

[FunnyKiddMan]

how many people can you have at your grad ?

[bobsit1945]

I get tired of all this inter-service griping, Air Force Medic 64-68, Navy Hospital Corpsman 69-88, Served as FMF Corpsman six of those years in the Navy, wearing the Marine uniform with Navy stripes. Had close contact with many Army and Coast Guard unit's during this time. I do NOT believe that any one service is better then the other, they are all GREAT in the own way. Also believe that ALL service personnel are SUPER-STARS and deserve more respect then those pampered so-called celebrities.

[daddysgirl157]

My brother will be Graduating January 11th :D I am soo excited..

[Quantanthead]

@daddysgirl157 I hope you can be there.

[daddysgirl157]

@Quantanthead I was! It was amazing!

[TheRolls5432]

all of you guys say that one branch is better than the other, each branch has their own specialty and does their own thing. imagine flying a plane at 800mph without being able to slow down ? yea pretty nerve wrecking, point being navy cant fly planes and air force cant ride boats they're each trained for their own job. take pride in what you do

[26ronix]

Not to be rude or anything but I just don't think air force graduations are that cool. Marine Corps graduations are way more fun to watch, when they march it sounds like thunder.

[usnavysss]

@26ronix

Well thats because the air force is the least strickest branch they don't even yell they talk in tone matter which is not cool if you joined to get a military rush.total put down due to society wanting little johnny to not be yelled at because he wanted to join the air force to dodge afghanistan...

[SIMI78049]

@usnavysss Wow man that's low all branches are the same and judging by your spelling you are so uneducated you don't even know how equal they are.

[CRAZYcodfan6]

im glad you shared this video :)

[popacap21]

Shippin out in 4 days.. 2 August.. I will be a Loadmaster finally get to leave out my dream of bein in the USAF cant wait

[903mzkn1]

@popacap21

im thinking of going af & heard loadmaster is a fun job is this true?

[usnavysss]

@903mzkn1

No it fuckn suck dick you do shit air crews don't want to do like load and unload heavy shit that has nothing to do with the military like soccer balls and pt shirts and shorts ,at times you get to load kevlar but that pretty much it.

[TheGridironOrtega]

can someone please explain to me how the uniform regulation goes and what ill be wearing everytime i get home

[BaDNeWzZzZ1]

memories....reminds me of the i officially became apart of the military.....7 weeks of torture brings u this...#peace..lol well at least till u go to tech school..l;ol

[UrlsGrrl54]

This takes me back to when I graduated from BT (late 80s). One of the proudest moments in my LIFE!

[bobblesworth]

@UrlsGrrl54 I never regretted it, although worst parts were probably all the shots they gave ya and of course getting smoked by a TI is really embarassing. I felt real bad for this one trainee who had like 4 smoking her and making her do stupid shit for half an hour.

[UrlsGrrl54]

@bobblesworth LMFAO, I know, right!! I got smoked by 6 of them as soon as that blue bus stopped in front of the processing area. My recruiter didn't tell me to stay on the bus until told to do so. Like normal, when a bus stops where I need to be, I get off....big mistake for BT, lol! Those TIs chewed my ass so bad that when I got back on the bus, the other new recruits were CRYING! Hahahahahahahahaaa, wtf, I was the one chewed out, but they were scared shitless....

[DillaWorld]

May 17 fffuuuuu I CAN'T MARCH LIKE THEM, I'M TOO CLUMZY

[brian9801]

Im shipping out July,12 wish me luck

[Bruette44]

@brian9801 Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[NSAThrace]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit. Can't wait for July 8th. That will be me!

[f15mech]

Back in 95 you could have watched me in the above video as a USAF vet

The response today needs some help.

Dave



[MrJojogun]

Looks like the same Field I graduated on ...back in Dec. of 1970....think I still see my boot prints there!!!!

[hi4026]

i see a marine.soon its going to be my marine bro at my airforce graduation

[iSkate7104]

I spoke to 8 different Marines. All love the Corps with there hearts and will be a Marine to they die, but they all say go Air Force. Air Force takes care of there people unlike the other Branches (no offense quantanthead). I was a die hard Wanna Be Marine until I did ROTC for the Air Force. Changed my mind completely

[Quantanthead]

@iSkate7104 I have mentioned times before that I would reccommend the Air Force because I believe that it is more family friendly. I'm glad that I was not married while serving active duty navy because I think it would have been difficult being away 6 months at a time.

[jjstanger04]

@Quantanthead I was active air force and deployed many times for more than 6 months so its not like we dont deploy eveyone does.

[Quantanthead]

@jjstanger04 What I was meaning to say was"being deployed out on the ocean and not just in one place so your family can't really join you." Although I saw people have their wives fly into Japan or places like that to join them when we had 4-5 days in port.

[jjstanger04]

@Quantanthead I undertand what you are saying but I meant deployed not serving in japan or england I mean deployed to a combat location overseas ie SE Asia Middle east

[Quantanthead]

@jjstanger04 I just figured that at most times you would be stationed in a friendly country and have to do flyovers on not so friendly countries when you were called to do so. I didn't figure there were bases in Iraq or Egypt or combat locations etc. I also thought that you could move families over there when you are stationed at a base over there. Most of the people I knew in the AF made it sound a lot different than what I was used to in living on a ship while in the Navy overseas.

[nogoodnamesleftonyt]

@Quantanthead Air Force has a ground team, you know. They have riflemen out there in bases

[drothefuture]

@Quantanthead

Lmfao and half of the retarded country thinks the USAF just sits in America..

[19emilyfranklin96]

@iSkate7104 My brother joined the marines. and he is telling me to join the air force, and i have no reason not to listen to him . He hates the Marines, they are stubborn assholes.

[H60hadgi]

@iSkate7104 if they said go airforce, its because they probably didnt think you had what it took. No Marine would say go Aiforce b/c they take care of their people. Taking care of Marines is what Marine do.

[islandninja671]

the feeling marching down the bomb run was freakn awesome one of lifes experiences that an Airmen will never forget!!! 324 Knights!!!

[Paramore398]

Do you remeber Airman Holguin

[LivingDeadLaura13]

Now i know what to expect when i go there in April!

[produccionesterrero]

WHY THEY ARE WEARING A DIFFERENT UNIFORMS?

I MEAN IN OTHER VIDEOS THEY ARE WEARING THE BLUES

[sexylady511]

Awwwwwww this is making me cry.. congrats to all of you!! go airforce!!!

[ds2011able]

anyway you serve your country you do your duty to god and country

[twifreak12345]

next month i will be there for my boyfriends graduation :D im soooo proud of him :')

[IckyFTW]

2:19 nazi flag ? 3rd line

[chosica2]

can i bring my body guards with me ... lol... nice vid..

[dumaralos]

What's the title of the marching song? Thanks!

[Tasadaru]

I was in the flight that carried the national and state flags in 2010. They probably also got yelled at by the blue ropes to keep their dress while practicing. The one gripe I have for BMT is the lack of shooting we had. I wish we had a couple of days to practice shooting with a rifle and handgun.

[eldelberto]

@Tasadaru what day did you graduate?

[Tasadaru]

@eldelberto June 24, 2010 if I am not mistaken.

[1KaoticPeace]

Grr,,,Im tied between Air Force,Navy,and the National Guard! Anyone got any advice? Please don't say "Go Army, or Go USMC"

[Quantanthead]

@1KaoticPeace I'm retired Navy and based on talking to different friends through the years I think the Air Force is better for long term and family life. I'm sure others may think differently.

[1KaoticPeace]

@Quantanthead That;s what a friend of mine that was in the Navy said too. Thanks for your opinion!

[209mann]

@Quantanthead hey can you tell me more about air force?/plz

[Quantanthead]

@209mann Can't tell you much more than what I've already said. I've never served in the Air Force, but retired out of the Navy Reserves. Some of these other people can probably tell you more about what to expect.

[Neurospasm84]

@209mann I have been in for over a year and a half and I spent nine months of it in basic training ask away

[209mann]

@Neurospasm84 why nine months?? i thoughts its only 7-8 weeks?

[Neurospasm84]

@209mann Well during my 7th week i acquired a hip and leg injury which keep me from running. To make a long story short I spent half a year healing and breaking and right at the end when they were about to drop the axe I was finally able to graduate. If you get an injury in basic they can't send you home unless your completely healed or you get med boarded which is usually done when a full recovery won't happen. In the end it was well worth it.

[MusicSimplicity]

@209mann What do you want to know...I'm currently Active Duty in the AF-I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. I can't really compare it to other branches since this is the only one I've served in, but I can give you a more honest opinion than any recruiter.

[209mann]

@MusicSimplicity yea i want to know what u do after BMT?

[Geraldolini]

@209mann I was in the Air Force 4 years then another 2 active duty Reserves. I wish I had stayed in for the whole deal. I have been a civilian working for the govt for 37 years. I would be proud to serve in ANY of our Armed Forces. It really depends on your goals...

[djrifd1]

@209mann @Quantanthead Im a jr in High School. Info please

[SpikeyNorman38]

@1KaoticPeace well you could go air national guard lol, and I've heard the same thing, I come from a navy family but I'm looking into the Air Guard myself lol. GL out there!

[1KaoticPeace]

@SpikeyNorman38 thanks man, GL to you too!

[SpikeyNorman38]

@1KaoticPeace hey thanks man, I'm in the DEP for navy and got a pretty crappy job, they told me I could change it later, if you hear that, don't believe it. They changed it to oh well now you can't until you graduate in may, and then later its oh but now theres no guarantee, and I don't wanna base something this big on a maybe xD so I'm gonna see what I can do with the air guard lol, but again GL out there!

[EagleEyeM4]

@1KaoticPeace Air Force, cant go wrong.

[saengel94]

@1KaoticPeace I'm joining the Air Force very soon. I know plenty of people who have spent years in the Air Force and made great careers out of it. They take very good care of you as well.

[Boxer4lifekai23]

@1KaoticPeace

well the Air Force is kind of fun in a way, my colonel tells my AFJROTC class stories all the time. It sounds really exciting (:

But do some research and compare the 3

[ladiezman914]

@1KaoticPeace  all fits on what you want im national guard and i have no regrets but go with what ever your comfortable with

[tjdavis2006]

@1KaoticPeace I joined the Air National Guard and it was great for me. Guard is good if you want to continue going to school. I'll be graduating with a Bachelors in Accounting completely debt free which is great. I guess if college isn't in your immediate future plans, the Air Force is still known to treat its people the best.

[luvbites23]

@1KaoticPeace Im no expert and Im not in the military yet, but I would suggest looking into Ai rforce further. 

[darthdude123456]

@1KaoticPeace i say the airforce is good for family but you constantly move from base to base every couple years but thats what my uncle and father told me im joining airforce in a year so whatever floats ur boat

[Geraldolini]

@1KaoticPeace USMC!

[Geraldolini]

@1KaoticPeace Depends on what your goals are.

[mrbloodgood]

@1KaoticPeace Realize that Army and National Guard are essentially the same. I'm in the Navy, and I'm currently stationed with the Marines. Each branch has pros and cons. If I could go back, I would actually choose the Coast Guard.

[ElliesSuperStudio]

@1KaoticPeace GO AIRFORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paul71391]

I love how ppl say the air force is weak because all u do is use ur brain. If those ppl would actually take there time to use there own brains they would see its alot more then just thinking.

[iishannahliz]

Hey, I was there a week or two ago- saw that same thing, except it was raining cattails, and everyone was dog-tired of the rain. One lady had to go wring her shirt out in the restroom. And where's the cheering??? We were all cheering our heads off when the flights marched past- we were all super proud of our fella :) Hooah!

[unitedstateskingdom]

can't wait to join fresh out of high school then get my degree

[slikrok593]

Oh Yes ... even after basic training , the Air Force graduates march like a bunch of old women .... out of cadence, out of step , and heads bouncing . Typical of the least military of all the U.S. Armed Services .

[rdaws73]

@slikrok593 lol Troll

[c4bmx22]

@slikrok593 Way to treat our military Dbag.. hope you get hit by a school bus... we all fight for the same thing..

[DynastyLang]

@slikrok593 are u in the military? anyway...everyone rags on the AF, until they need air support. :)

[ramdon101]
