[ARCHIVED THREAD] - USAF Enlisted Members: find your basic training pics (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 5/16/2012 6:40:07 PM EDT

Team:

My dad found this link that the USAF has been running. It contains quite a few Basic Training class photos and is organized by year and month (which seems to be graduation month). We haven't been able to find his class picture, but several co-workers have found themselves in their class photos. The site also tells how to submit pics if you have them as well.

Hopefully you can find your pics!

I can't believe you found that!!!

I just found my flight and I had long lost the actual photo somewhere in a move

I can't thank you enough for posting this!!

I can't believe how many of those guys I remember just like it was yesterday. I can recall conversations we had and their hometowns even.

Dang, talk about memory lane

Thanks for the link I saved a copy years ago but I don't know where it went.

Wow there are a lot of pics of my father on here when he was an MTI at Lackland. That man pushed a ton of troops!

Not there, but 331st Flt 755, graduated Nov 06

I looked through there a year or two back and couldn't find my flight's photo. Maybe I'll take another look.

Somehow I did not leave with my basic training portrait. I think our TI's dropped the ball or simply didn't bother.

I left Lackland about 1 April 1975, and I have no idea what the squadron or flight numbers might be.

Mine's not there, Flt 688, 3708 BMTS, sometime in summer, 1975. SSGTs Strubbe and Cazoban. I have my book though. Somewhere.

Thanks OP, I had no idea this existed. Mine is missing but will try to find it and submit it to the site. Don't remember the flight number, but will probably always remember Sgt's Zook and Trujillio!

I wish there were names on them. My Grandfather was an instructor at Harlingen in the 40's, but I can't pick him out of any of the photos.

This site was started by a private individual. They just asked people to post their pictures and hosted them. Then the AF decided it would be a good historic site to participate in and adopted it officially. The pics are all sent in by individuals, the photo places didn't keep an archive. It's easy enough to start something similar for the Army.

Did your Drill Sergeant get nervous quite a bit?

Awesome, thanks for posting this. They don't have my flight, but I've got my photo somewhere, I'll submit it once I get things unpacked in the new house.

Sir, the definition of a 323 trainee is:

True to the country,
True to the Flag,
Loyal to the end,
Finest in the land.
Always on top,
Cream of the crop,
Motivated,
Dedicated,
Can't be stopped!
HUAH!
What?
HUAH!
What?
HUAH HUAH HUAH!

Damned funny, the things that stick with you for 15+ years.

'96, BMTS 323, Flight 123
