Ok kid, heres the skinny on AF Basic. You will learn customs and courtesies. The AF history. You'll learn close order drill(marching) you'll learn how to get along with the people of your basic training group and learn to work as a team. You will get marksmanship training, and physical training. You will earn college credits for this with the Community college of the AF. You will be able to take off duty classes to further your education. No, they do not take you up and push you out of a plane

It's been a few years (almost 20) but I suspect it hasn't changed that much. They do have what I think is called "warrior week" where you will be doing field training, gas mask, M16, and different types of training to prepare you for combat situations.
They don't make you jump out of an aircraft carrier. The only jumping I had to do was on an obstacle course. A rope swing over a puddle of water.
What do you mean by aircraft carrier? The only aircraft carrier I know of is a boat. Not many of those in the Air Force.

Menatal and physical training in basic. You may not even get to see an aircraft in basic, forget about being thrown out! If you want to be trained and different from the others, then only go to the forces.

The USAF doesn't have "aircraft carriers" thats the US Navy. If you jumped out of an aircraft carrier you would die most likely, lots of unlucky sailors have proven that.
I dont know if the USAF does the gas chamber routine but I doubt it, they dont spray you with mace.
Whoever is giving you this information isnt reliable.

As far as I know you don't get mace in the face but you will enjoy some CS gas. It isn't that bad and if you have a cold that day you won't the next.
Jumping out of a plane? No that won't happen either.
Just be able to do push-ups, sit-ups and run. Wait this is AF make that be able to ride a bike.

i don't think they are going to spray you in the face with mace but you do go into a gas chamber. other than that just basic combat skills, pt, Air Force history, codes of conduct, etc. then again that is what my brother did in Army basic and ait.

Air Force basic is a cake walk.
A crippled child could pass their joke called " physical training"

What you heard is untrue. They have great food in the Air force, and their basic is shorter as they do not do the weapons courses the other services do! I don't even think they qualify! At least they didn't when I was in!
