Reply #71: ACTIVE DUTY, ANG, AF RESERVE BASIC TRAINING IS THE SAME

[KBlagburn]

All active duty, national guard and reserve personnel go through the same training together at Lackland AFB, TX. I had several ANG and Reservist in my Basic training sqadron. The point is not vague but valid. There is no difference in training. And the point is also correct in that the only awards/ribbons a basic trainee qualifies for is the basic training ribbon and/or honor graduate ribbon and if there is a ongoing war, as is the case now, the national defence service medal.
