Quote: This is obviously not the position of the Air Force (well, maybe not yelling per se, but adding external stress). I was told by many people (and confirmed by my own experience) that UPT exists to see how well you manage stress...and if you can fly to standards under that stress.

I've heard that many Navy students who go to T-1's at Vance after doing their primary at Whiting, are simply culture-shocked when they arrive in the Air Force training environment. But you learn to cope...and that's the point.
I don't want to get into a big "our way is better than yours" ****ing match as both seem to accomplish the end result, it's just the "sea services" seem to do it with less pain.
