Same as USAF Basic Training except they are trained in new Space Force application and doctrine versus AF Doctrine.

Modified Air Force Basic Training is my understanding as they continue to develop as a separate branch. You could reach out to a Space Force Recruiter for more up to date information than any of us are likely able to give.

I'm waiting to see if Space Guard becomes a thing, weekends in space. Probably sweeping the moon or painting moon rocks white then black whenever the CMSgt changes their mind on beautification. Have to keep space looking good for Hollywood.

This is only what I've heard. Space Force Basic is conducted at JBSA Lackland in San Antonio, Texas, with the Air Force recruits. In addition to everything else in Basic, they must take a college level course on space history, space operations, and basic astrophysics. They also learn how to define, calculate and apply the "argument of periapsis."

I have no idea what that is, but wikipedia defines it as one of the orbital elements of an orbiting body. Parametrically, it is the angle from the body's ascending node to its periapsis, measured in the direction of motion.
