Don't count on ever getting a 341 pulled for good behavior. They only take them if you mess up. Here is a helpful hint try and wear the same uniform for the whole 6 weeks but of course change underwear and socks. This will save you time on setting up your living area.

Once everything is folded and passes the first inspection leave it as is. The rest is all easy stuff.

One thing I could never understand was when you go into the chow hall they have a big menu posted on the wall but you can't look at it. Head and eyes straight forward, so you are looking at the back of someones head the whole time.

Good Luck again. Stick with it, there will be times when you will wonder what the hell made you join but basic is nothing like the real AF. The real AF is pretty relaxed now days.

Joining the forces was one of the worst decisions in my life.. No wait, it was not my decision.


Mandatory bull... hake: hake: hake:

Being in the Air Force is really nice, there basic training isn't bad and we have the best living conditions. Another good thing about any form of military is you are getting paid every 1st and 15th, no matter if you work or not.

Yeah right Sind... 12 Hour shifts, Raised Force Protection Conditions, AEF Deployments, MOPP training, Security, Security, Security, PT, etc. What AFSC are you in? I was a 3C0X1 in a Combat Comm Squadron and I had to get out just so I could be around to watch my kids grow up! Doesn't sound too relaxed to me. Other than that, the AF is a "Great Way of Life" freak:

Damn you didn't reenlist for the bonus? 3C0's get a $30,000 bonus now. I'm trying to cross train into that. biggrin: I'm currently in CE. cry:

Almost forgot we work 12 shifts every now and then but it's on a Panama schedule so it isn't that bad. I have only worked 12 shifts for about a month since I've been here and I have been stationed here for a year.

No dude. I got a 40K raise when I got out cuz I'm UNIX and NT certified. That's the salary increase I got above pay and allowances when I got out. Plus I can wear civies and let me hair grow all other the place!

I want to cross train to that field to get the bonus and I think I would like working on computers.

One, if not, the best career fields around. I was actually a 4M0X1 when I first joined and I didn't like working in the hospital. Too many fake people! I got into the Comm Computer field and never looked back. Have you taken the EDPT?

No haven't taken it. I was thinking I could just learn everything in Tech School. biggrin: How long of Tech School is it?

Ok i asked this in another thread and no one answered ... why do you army guys always look so pissed off , like cpt . Zapotoski there ? Put a smile on for christ sakes biggrin:

Army? Bite your tongue. Air Force!

I'm always biggrin: maybe because I'm in the Air Force.

It's twelve weeks at Keesler AFB MS. When I went it was only six weeks but that was a few years ago.

Not to long of school. Keesler is not to far from here either and it's a nice place. Thank god it's not Sheppard.
