Everybody has their "hate-and-horror" stories, but my brief experience with the USAF was just the opposite.
After finishing eight weeks of boot camp and three months of RM 'A' school they told me I was going to serve in destroyers and was headed for "unknown parts". I got a week's leave, then reported back to San Diego NTC. Since there was nothing for me to do, which they couldn't have, I got the delightful job of policing the parade grounds - picking up trash and cigarette butts for three wonderful days. Then they put me on a commercial flight to San Francisco, and a bus to Travis AFB. There were only three or for of us sailors in the barracks, and we slept until we couldn't sleep any more. Around 0900 a sergeant of some kind came in and gave us our orders for the day: "Hey, guys. Welcom to Travis. Want a tour of the base?" That was it. The Navy couldn't tolerate us doing nothing for one minute. The Air Force treated us like royal guests.
