The AF, like Allegiant to many of you, was the place to be but now is removing all that was once good, for the sake of a few people who wouldn't win a trophy if everyone didn't get one.
I have never been in the military so I will take you at your word. However, everything is relative. Correct me if I am wrong, but you are in training and have yet to hit the line. Once you do, you will experience things that will make your jaw hit the floor. While the AF may not be the place it used to be, I surmise that it is still a structured environment. You are about to enter a world of chaos the likes of which you may have never seen.
