Joining the air force soon.

I've been told I should mostly worry about running and body weight exercises.

Any other tips or advice in general? Any military folks on /fit/?

Got about 15 more lbs. to lose by the way.

Hey there buddy. AF dude here. I'm here in Texas where you'll be headed. Just focus on endurance. Honestly I got fat in basic because I came in buff and lost a lot of strength. Basic is easy just stay out of the limelight.

Ok focus on muscular endurance. Weighted walking, running in more clothing than necessary, grip strength, stuff like that. Get good at pushups and sit ups, make sure you use 100% correct form. Build a strong core. Usually the PTis designed to start off easy and go progressively harder so everyone ends at the same level.

Running, pushups and pullups are all that matters.

Make sure you can do 30pushups in 1 minute and that you can do at least 10 pullups. You should be able to run 5K.

The rest is easymode.

Here's a tip don't join the army and definitely don't join as a riflemen when you can join the RAAF as a technician/engineer and actually get some qualifications that will be useful when the ADF is done ruining your body and soul

You're gonna get fucked at Singo m8y... if you make it past Kapooka... The DS are gonna be riding your fat arse all the way because they don't like fat, unathletic cunts in the infantry.

In my platoon, they singled out all the fat fucks at Kapooka, then they did it again at Singo if any existed there.

No matter how good you are at anything (read: shooting and fieldcraft) they will monster you for being fat.

PS, I hope you love swimming.

Im a rifleman. You gotta be able to do 35 pushups 100 sit ups and run 2.4km in under 11.18 minutes to get through kapooka. Singleton is 40 push ups 100 sit ups and under 10 minutes on the 2.4km. Only worry about swimming if you go to 2 RAR which is the only amphib battalion in Australia. Hope you dont go to kapyong platoon in singo and hope you don't go to Echo coy in kapooka, those guys are fucking insanely harsh. I was in 23 charlie and Hammersley platoon in kapooka and singo respectively. Get used to pack marches and early mornings, late nights and continuous fuck fuck games. Rifleman is a fucking sick job imo. Hope this helps.

Af here. Just start running and get ready for a lot of silly bodyweight exercises. Volunteer for laundry crew or supply closet for an easy dorm duty or chow runner if you're feeling ballsy. Just be respectful and keep your head down and basic is cake.

I have never seen any airlforce member that was in impressive shape. The PT studs in the air force are in average to slightly above average shape for any other branch.

Try to get a high ASVAB score and be willing to accept any job they offer give you and you just might get in.

Just don't.
Pick a trade. Learn how to do something that you can use outside of the army. Seriously.

Everyone gets to play with guns etc.

So learn. Unless you goal is to be a military instructor, a mercenary, a bodyguard, a security professional, or a cop, pick a different army role. Also not gunner, they have even less non-army skills.

>good afternoon, and what skills do you have that you think would make you good at the job you are applying for
>well my team can land six rounds on an area smaller than this room in under two minutes at a range of 8 clicks.

Think of your future. Get them to teach you something of value during your term of service.
