I meant to say that others had described the AF program as being like hazing, not the navy one in case that wasn't clear.
It's ok man. I've heard AF people describe their IFS as a bit ridiculous too. IMO, the Navy IFS is how it should be: a few flights and a solo with some bookwork involved to make sure you really wanna fly before they start blowing $2000 a flight on you (at least) to train you.
