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.

I don't know if the painting rocks comment would be funnier had I not done that same thing.

SSgt (Join to see) - Also works with sandbags. Had a CSM have us rotate the old sandbags out. Made sense, they were rotting away.

So we change them out with the sandbags they provided, OD Green.

Get it all done and the CSM doesn't like the color and procures us tan sand bags to then replace them with.

The SPC's of course realized the tan sand bags were slightly bigger than the green ones and so of course just slid the green ones into the tan ones and topped them off. The PVT's dumped them out and started over.

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

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.

Wow. This seems like a steep learning curve for an E-1 with a high school education. Is the minimum ASVAB score higher than the other branches?

Well, here is one opinion. It's not looking good for the guardians!
