When the Space Force was created in 2019, the new military branch relied heavily on the Air Force as an example to help shape its policies. But, now, the service is growing and the 72 recruits will be making history.
The recruits are the first in the service to be overseen by an independent command as they develop into future Guardians. They were trained primarily by Space Force drill instructors and shared a dorm, classrooms and daily life almost entirely with their fellow service members.

Sgt (Join to see) I was thinking the same thing but...Guardians is the official designator. As former USAF I grew partial to wing nuts and chair force.

SSgt Jim Gilmore - Are they Guardians while in training, though? When I was down at Paradise Island, I wasn't a Marine until I graduated. Until then I was a whole slew of different pejorative terms. Do you get to be called a Guardian on the day you show up for training?

Lt Col Charlie Brown Imagine being the first recruits to this new branch of our military and being able to tell their children and grandchildren in the years to come you were the first.
