What is Basic Military Training (BMT) like for a woman in the USAF?

[Jean B]

My fiancee just graduated BMT for the USAF. It has always been a dream for me to serve in the USAF as well, since I was a young teenager, but I am not a model candidate. I don't exercise often or at all most times, I am a very sensitive person as far as criticism goes, and I like to change my mind constantly when it comes to goals and aspirations. I want the structure of the military life and I was told that BMT is nothing like how the real military life is. I just wanted to know how many women out there have been like me and made it through BMT. I know it will be hard, probably the hardest thing I'll ever do. But when was there a moment you thought you would just give up and decided not to? What drove you to keep going? What goals did you set in your mind to get through it? What were your major achievements as a person and what did you learn about yourself when it was over? Is there any advice someone can give me on surviving BMT successfully? What kind of training would I need?

how about this little tidbit if you cant make it through airforce basic then you might as well stop thinking about the military as a whole! the airforce training is the easiest out of all the branches and their military life is generally easier too..think about it this way if there are females making it through Marine and Army training everyday how hard would it be to pass the airforce one. i would suggest that you get it set in your head before you make any decisions because no matter how "sensitive" you are once you sign a contract there is no "canging your mind constantly" your @ss belongs to the chairforce. you might want to try getting in shape too. the airforce isnt exactly easy to get into and as you said yourself you arent a prime candidate.
