What is there to eat in the Air force Basic training?

Well if its anything like Army basic training you won't get a lot of time to eat so don't be picky. Take what you're given, scarf it down and try not to get noticed. Make sure you drink a lot of water, you won't be allowed pop, you may or may not get juice and milk (in our basic we had to drink at least one glass of water before getting juice or milk). Generally chow halls serve some kind of meat with a starch and a vegetable, its all normal American food, maybe not the tastiest or best cooking, but you're not going to get weird food you've never seen before most likely. For breakfast its bacon and scrambled eggs, maybe sausage, hashbrowns, maybe pancakes. The first few weeks of basic I got pretty much about 4 minutes from the time I sat in my seat to the time the drill sergeants were yelling at me to throw my stuff away and get out of the chow hall. Learn to eat quickly! A good trick I saw a lot of guys do was to grab a few slices of bread and cram those down, at least you feel full for a little while. Also, if you ever get  night when the chow hall puts on a big spread like steak and lobster etc (it happens sometimes) and the drill sergeants let you all eat your fill be very suspicious! Chances are you are going to go straight from the chow hall to physical training and work out until you all puke. Good luck!

I would definitely cut out the burger and fries and opt for a salad and a chicken breast.  If your school doesn't offer that, bring your own lunch and make healthy choices (sandwiches on whole wheat, fruit, veggies).  The same goes for your snack.  Definitely cut down on processed sugars and flour.

Since you have a year to prepare, you should be in good shape before you leave.  My advice is that you start doing physical training on your own now.  Push ups, sit ups, pull ups, running, weights, and anything else that you can think of to strengthen your body.  If you are physically prepared for Basic, then you will be more able to contend with the mental and emotional abuse that you will suffer.  I would also suggest that you familiarize yourself with firearms early.  Learn how they feel when they go off, how they sound, and most importantly, how different fire arms operate.  Learn to break them down and clean them properly.  If you have this info before you leave, then you will be more prepared when you begin this in basic.  \nLearn to eat fast, and prepare yourself for a three meal, no snack day.  If you are used to eating three meals and two snacks per day you will feel hungry all the time at basic.  If you usually skip breakfast, you will feel weighted down during the morning hours at basic, and find yourself lacking the energy to make it through till lunch.  I also suggest that you learn to eat standing up (the last ones in the lunch room earn kitchen detail), so you will want to go  (with your tray while eating) from the food line to the exit line.  \nNow, of everything that I have said, the most important is the physical aspect.  If you are physically unprepared, you will have a much harder time with basic...\nGood Luck\n\nK

I was on Camp Foster down the road from there Jan 2004-5.  Us Marines were jelous of the Air Force base.  They had better on base houseing.  (real houses, not the apartment towers) You didn't have to clear the table at the chow hall, you had a better PX or BX what ever the AF calls it.  Plus you had Chilis.  The only non-fast food American chain around.  Lucky.  It was nice.

You need to first have your mind that your going to get this done. Then your going to have to throw away all the food that you brought items such as cookies, cakes, Kool-aid ( I am african-american) I drank gallons of kool aid. Contains to much sugars. Go out and subsitute your sweets for fruits, any fruit that you like and buy them weekly, set up like a bowl of fruits. Buy spinach if its safe, or lettuce so that you can eat alot of salads. Drink around 6-8 glasses of water.  To make sure you get your daily water intake label 6-8 cups on a table and have them facing up once you take a glass of water thru out the day \nflip them down and ull be reminded or take a notebook. Water cures all :) .Just drink water with your meals or like diet sugar-less drinks for a while. Eat more fish and chicken. Stay far away from FRied Foods, they have way to much calories to burn in a day. It things that are grilled. If your a beef fan. eat lean-beef. but they are more expensive than chicken and what not.  No pork, subsitute your bacon with turkey bacon, or chicken if they got those lol. \n Everything is all in the mind, People don't tell you this but your gonna have to want to do it. Surround yourself with the people that  eat healthy and excersise normally. For you i suggest just walking daily. Take your ipod or whatever and walk for about 30 mins for a couple of months, do this for 3 times a week. Remember your diet won't work if you dont excersise and diet. ITs for maximum performance. Take a friend with you if your the type that needs company.\n\nBut if you want more tips email me or encouragement.Jmonie02@yahoo.com. I am a typically college student. I ended my soccer career last year and I don;t want to gain weight like all my fellow teamates. I am 22 and about 218lbs and 6'4 1/2 . I recently started the "ABS diet" because i want a full blown six pack. but  Its a book i got for about 15 bux at the mall. So if your really serioius, get this book because it tells you to eat all you want but just eat healthy. I am doing it, i feel good and have a new thought on life. Most obese people just eat anything and everything. Markets are just trying to make a buck but this book tells you which company is actually good. :)

If you want easy, then take MRE ( Meal Ready to Eat ) available at military stores or camping stores. These are packed in waterproof plastic and are everything you need.

There are many food items for that.

Don't forget that a whole meal with all essential ingredients, minerals and vitamins is the best thing.

I went to Ft Jackson SC in modern buildings that have males and females in attached wings but mess hall is also in another wing. To make your bed you tuck sheets in tight and have hospital corners. Physical Training is about 2 hours a day starting at 0530 then you eat for 10 minutes then you shower, shave, brush teeth, and change uniforms. Classroom training for 2 hours (you do not want to fall asleep in there just see what your DI (Drill Instructor) will make you do. Weapons training on a firing range shooting targets up to 300 yds away. Wash your clothes at night road march on base and cattle car transportation in field over 10 miles from barracks. 6 weeks of the best training in my life and I lost 10 pounds. I also run the two mile in 15.30 no fraternizing in basic training but you wait until AT (Advanced Training ) which I recommend right after BT (Basic Training) when you are still in good shape. I served for 8 years in ARNG MN/WI then got honorable discharge. Be all that you can be.

You get the basics.  Meat, vegitables, starches (potatoes and the like).  You don't taste it, you inhale it.  Learn to live without caffine is a good start.  Caffine constricts the blood vessels and withdrawl from it causes headaches and tiredness.  Though, after Basic/OSUT you will find the military runs on coffee and diet coke!\n\nThe best thing is to be in top physical shape, especially in the realm of endurance.  You will walk/run for long periods, be up for days at times, and go without full meals at others...just like combat, you train as you fight.  Also, if you smoke, quit, it will slow you down.\n\nHave fun!

Protein and carbohydrates.  Eat a medium meal, you want energy, but not a lot of sugar.

protein all the way.\n\nchicken breasts, lean steaks, tuna, other fish.... go nuts.\n\nyou may be training less than effeciently as well.  Not bench everyday I hope...\n\nWhen putting on mass, I would often have a large burger, 2 cans of tuna, and 60grams of whey protein each day.

Some of these suggestions may sound strange but if you think about them they will make sense.  Some of these are not to take with him but are for his benefit during basic.  \n\nLots of fun / happy memories to take with him to basic.  Do fun things like go bowling, zoo, nightclub or anything you enjoy doing together.  \n\nPhone card - so he can phone home\n\nPhotos - so he can remember on rough days why he is doing this.\n\nBlack shoe polish - he will need to polish his shoes for inspection.\n\na couple of extra toothbrushes - in case he gets in trouble and has to clean the bathroom with his toothbrush.  Not to say he will get in trouble but it does happen to some folks\n\na roll or 2 of quarters in case he has to use a payphone that wont take phone cards.  That way he can call home.  \n\npens, paper, & prestamped envolpes so he can write home\n\nYour love and prayers for his safe completion of basic & for him getting the job assignment he wants.  \n\nRunning with him daily so he can be ready for it.  \n\nBackpack to wear while running so he can get used wearing on while running.    \n\nWorking out with him so can get he in shape.  No matter how good of shape he thinks he is in now just wait til basic.  You don't need to join a gym just work out with him daily.\n\nTake him to shooting range so he can practice firing weapon.\n\nAmmo to take to shooting range.  \n\nWriting to him at basic.  Be encouraging to him while he is there.  \n\nGet your parents a star flag to display in window after he leaves for basic so he knows you stand by him and support him.  \n\nLip balm\n\nBand-aids for blisters on his feet or hands\n\nGold-bond powder for his feet on long marches\n\nWhite crew socks with reinforcements in heel and toes.

There are many items that you can eat, such as fruit and yogurt, whole wheat toast with p.b. and chocolate milk. Any type of cereal which has at least 3 grams of fiber per serving. Just remember to get plenty of fiber along with = amounts of good carbs and protein along with healthy fats.

Include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably organic.  Don't forget nuts and seeds.  Eat fish, chicken, turkey and lean cuts of beef.  Don't eat convenience foods. Stay away from refined foods.  No white flour, potatoes, sugar or pasta!  Drink lots and lots of pure water.  Make sure and take a good quality supplement daily.  Not anything from Wal-Mart!  Go to your local co-op or health food store. (Not GNC either. )

No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking.  A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Good Luck!
