Start Memorizing!!!

As you can imagine, BCT is going to be very very stressful and full of things to do. We will be hustling around every minute we're awake, and there'll be hardly any time to sit down and memorize our doolie knowledge. I have some of the things that we have to recite during BCT, they were given to me by a nice cadet. Hope you find this stuff useful, and take the advantage of your free time as a civilian to start cramming your brain.

Air Force Song
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun.
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder
At 'em boys, giv'er the gun!
Down we dive spouting our flames from under
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder
Sent it high into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world asunder,
How they lived God only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar.
With scouts before and bombers galore,
Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

Here's a toast to the host of those who
love the vastness of the sky.
To a friend we send a message of his
brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast
The U.S. Air Force!

Off we go into the wild sky yonder
Keep the wings level and true.
If you'd live to be a gray-haired wonder
Keep the nose out of the blue.
Flying Men guarding our nation's borders
We'll be there followed by more.
In Echelon, we carry on
Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!
