@vjs5555 Yup, Airman, back in 1981, and they didn't call you Airman Jones during mail call, they called you by your last name and flung it at you!!

Weird how time has gone by too fast. Everything that happens to you is so surreal. Then you come to tech school and things are more relaxed. Then you finally get to your base. Ill never forget my base sponser. I kept calling him sir. He said " you call me sir again im going to kick your ass--he was joking but it was a whole new world. Independance, responsibility, your own money, car--it was a whole new life all together. I wouldnt trade it for anything.

3704, Flt 497, dorm a-9. Jun 78. SSgt. Stan Smith, SSgt. Ron Stonum. Section Sup. TSgt I. Thompson. Thanks for the memories.
I recently heard from a retired TI who is actually in this promotional video. He told me that what you see in the video was actually "Staged".... and the main character in the video was actually an actor, and NOT a real Air Force recruit. As a retired Air Force Master Sergeant who actually attended BMTS during this time, I can actually say that what you see in this video is a "Sanitized" version of BMTS during that time. For me personnaly, it was hell. But I survived BMTS and it matured me.
