Marching, marching, and more marching. I went to boot in 1997 and have smoked a lot of pot since I got out of the AF, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but here is what I remember.
5:00am ish - get up, get your bed made and dress out for PT. Form up downstairs. Run PT. Come back and eat. Go back up stairs get dressed into your BDU's. Form up down stairs and spend until lunch time learning how to march. Go eat lunch. Come back and march some more. Go eat dinner. Be in bed by 9pm.
On the weekends we did details. If you go to church on Sunday you can get out of details. I don't care if you're religious or not, you'll have your azz in church every sunday. It beats washing dishes all day.
You'll have special days where they teach you how to make up your bed/fold your clothes/keep your closet space clean according to regulation. You'll have classes about the UCMJ. Stuff like that. The big thing is marching though. God I was so sick of marching by the time those six weeks were up. You'll have a week out in the field (warrior week) where you'll learn how to shoot and go through the confidence course. You'll go through a mock war over night and then march 10 miles back to base after ward. That sucked more than anything we did during that six weeks. I can't remember being that tired ever.
Once you get into the routine of basic it's not so bad. Just do what you're told and don't smart mouth your TI. They are just doing their jobs. Don't take any of that crap personal unless you want to get yourself recycled.
