I am a camera fanatic. I love taking pictures and I hope to be a military photographer someday!
Does one still have to go through all the basic physical training like boot camp if they are going to be a photographer? I like the USAF allot!
 
Yes,

An once through boot camp you would have to graduate from the DINFOS school at Ft. Meade, Maryland. Although to get that MOS/Rating is very difficult and most services don't have pure photographers anymore but you must learn all facets of Journalism, television production , and photography. In other words after DINFOS , you could end up writing press releases and never touch a camera. Needs of the service.
 
Of course. There's more to a military career than just you MOS. You'll need to be in shape, learn how to function in a military environment, qualify with weapons and learn the eight million little things that make us different from civilians.

For example, if someone walked into the room where you're sitting and shouted "At Ease!" would you know the correct response?
 
Look female, you will have to drop the camera if you start to take in bullets and if you don't know how to use your weopon or keep it clean, you will die!!!
 
Yes, you need to be able to successfully complete a basic training course for all branches of the US Armed Forces. It isn't very hard, and once you complete it, you'll feel that much more confident about yourself overall. Looking back at it, it's a lot of fun, probably the most fun I've had in my 3 years of service. You don't have to be in great shape, they'll get you in shape when you get there. Just make sure you're not overweight, and you're good to go. Glad to hear you're wanting to join, good luck, and have fun!
 
YES. All military personell go through Basic Training or Basic Officer Training. You WILL have to go through Basic. Get into dhape now then. Thanks for wanting to serve. Good Luck.
