How to Become a Modern Day Polymath

Find Out From an MTI (Military Training Instructor)

Is Air Force Basic Training Hard

The short answer to this question is almost surely YES, but it’s all relative. What I mean by that, is that how you perceive the difficulty of your time at basic training will depend on you, your particular strengths and weaknesses, and the set of norms and values you grew up with.
