(CNN) The US Space Force has hit a critical milestone: dedicated basic training for its early recruits. Until now, new guardians have trained alongside airmen in the Air Force's basic military training program. What makes this boot camp unique is it's the first ever guardian-only basic training, led entirely by Space Force instructors who are teaching a space-centric curriculum. Master Sergeant Eric Mistrot, the Space Force's first Military Training Instructor, is quick to point out that, "This is still the profession of arms. This is not space camp."
