Lackland. But then again, most of the basic trainees didn't know what PT was either. ;)

Sure we did. It was the excuse they made for dragging our butts out of bed before the unholy crack of dawn.

I was in the Drum & Bugle Corps during Basic. I didn't know what PT was. :)

...and that was how I lost my pilot slot in the USAF.

I was at Lackland Wilford Hall Sept 1976 for a month getting my facial reconstructive surgery. Long month...

:(:Cool:

[Hoomi]

I was there Feb-Mar '69. We went thru the gas chamber same day we went to the firing range, firing the M-16, and first time through the obstacle course. Was a busy, tiring day.

I thought the obstacle course (redubbed the "Confidence Course" by the time I went through) was a blast.

Went through Lackland in 69' we all got gased.

What year was that?

Not showing the greatest sense, I went to Lackland in mid-August, 1977, and left at the end of September. I don't recall if, at that time, they had removed the chem warfare chamber from the training, or if it was closed for maintenance during that time. Either way, I never went through it.

Not that I missed it, mind you...

[Jhnybgd]

Well I guess we now know who to talk to about getting a runway built properly.:)

Thanks Guys we sure did pour alot of concrete and place alot of artificial runway(mostly training on the AR)

I was in the AF 85-91. We didn't go in the gas chamber in Basic (and we qualified with the M16 calibred down to .22 :)). But when I was stationed in Germany, we had to do it to get our MOPP training.

When I went through USAF Basic, we didn't go into the gas chamber.

[Valkpilot]

You guys remember this? Yup that's my boy going through what I had done 10 years ago. Lol

Do they still use tear gas? The last time I was involved in a similar drill they used wintergreen orderant.
