There were no "cadets" there with "rank". I wasn't a Technical Sergeant, there were no Airmen, we were all BUGs. Undergoing relentless training both mentaly and physicly (we had three Marines to "take care of us"). BTW, this guy you keep seeing in these pictures, thats ME!
- This was one of the many times when we had to rush out of the barracks to go from one place to another.

seriously, it was sports when we had "fun". I liked it especialy because Alpha flight (flight is AF equivilant of "platoon") kept beating Bravo (we were Alpha)! After graduation, the Marine Cadre were not the sadistic whipcrackers we thought they were; we liked them a lot. Maybe next year I can come back as a Cadet Cadre and have some real fun!
