Yep. Airman basic (E-1) has no rank insignia. IIRC you really have to work at it to get out of BMT as AB. I think it's not uncommon, but the qualifications are not much more than tripping over it.

I think you know more about this furry stuff than you let on.
I was in the Navy and as I remember if you got out of basic training you pretty much automatically became an Airman Apprentice or E2. I know it was much harder to achieve rank back then (like 50 years ago) that it is today. But I don't know about in the Air Force.
When I was in the Navy, E-2 only required 4 months of active duty, and boot camp took care of half of that.
Thank you both for your service

Lol but I'm kind of creeped out too.
My wife calls me childish all the time. Maybe that’s what she means.
Pulse + 6 months TIG for E-2 in today’s Air Force. Several achievements can result in an advanced enlistment, entering as an E-2.

Going through the boy scouts is one of them.
I wonder if they're going to rethink that with all the stupid crap that BSA has been into lately.

My point is exactly what I've said, and what others have clarified. You don't get photo ops with your girlfriend while you're in basic training. It takes serious effort to make it out of AF basic training without at least one stripe on your sleeve. And no branch of the military is going to go to all the hassle of training someone, sending them to technical school and then to a unit (to be a mechanic, as the daisy-pusher's family has claimed), and then let them just drop out to take care of their girlfriend, whom the DoD does not even recognize as a dependent because she's not a spouse or child of his.
He washed out (or possibly was kicked out) of Basic. It's freaking obvious. He never went on active duty. He was not some valiant, honorable Air Force veteran taking part in a noble protest. He was a washout communist sympathizer who did something stupid and wound up dead for it. End of story.
So, are you gonna tell it or just leave everybody hanging?
That last swallow did him in
That last swallow did him in for the night.
