steve

spend it with family

lol i guess ill see you there, i get there march 11, my times comign and going by real fast, if i were you i would go eat and drink all the junk food you can find and do some fun stuff while you can

family and alcohol.

if you use tobacco use it, i guess

what job did you get anyway??

oh yea enjoy that pre-packaged meal they give you when you first get there :jest:

oh yea if you smoke, enjoy it now while you can. quiting during basic wasnt bad at all, dont know why i started again after i graduated :bang:


are you in decent shape??

Aim for a threesome.....or family...LOL! J/K!

threesome not going to happen, I am in the process of quitting smoking, doing quite well actually. I am in decsent shape, but I have been jogging about a mile a day and need to do more pushups for shure.
I got 2e231 computer network switching, I am already a computer geek so I know I will like it hopefully plus if I leave it should help me find a job.
Black_dragon, since you get there a week before me, I will not see you unless you are held over for a week.
What is in the pre packaged meal, crap on a stick, lol.
And yes, I am taking in all I can get from my wife and daughter!!!
Thanks guys,
Steve

Dude, it's not like your going away for years ya know!

It's ONLY 6 (or is it 8 now?) weeks for Pete's sake!

I thought it was kind of like being grounded like when I was living at home.

However, i did quit smoking (i didn't start back up after basic/tech school). Think of basic like a rite of passage.

Anyway....have FUN!

"0" week blows!!! youll be fine, its cake man.

What branch are you joining?

humm... are you sure about that?? i heard you get alot of your shit with the first uniform issue. they have been changing alot of shit around, hell they dont even fold the cloths and socks anymore, they just make us roll them up

I understand basic is only 6 1/2 weeks, but I leave for tech right after, no home time, and my tech school is at kessler for 5 1/2 months. The wife I can take a break from, but I will miss alot of my daughters growing, but I am ready to realize the consiquence of joing and I know I am doing this for her so when I get out I will beable to get a better job somewhere out of ohio. I hate Ohio!!!! Hey black, what job are you going in for and what tech shool are you going too, my name is Steve Toutant by the way.

If you really intend to quit smoking, just wait till you are in basic. No sense in tourturing yourself (and your family) before you leave. If you really want to quit, you will have plenty of time in basic to NOT smoke.

i went in open mechanical, but i take the PAST test before i leave and if i pass then ill decide, if i wanna go SERE or not, if i do sere then its in fair child washington, and if not then ill ask for AGE when i get there and ill more than likley get it, and that tech school is at sheppard in tx, if i would quit being a pussy i would just go ahead and go CCT instead of waitng 3 years, then i would be going to keesler wiht you for 25 weeks for ATC training

humm... are you sure about that?? i heard you get alot of your shit with the first uniform issue. they have been changing alot of shit around, hell they dont even fold the cloths and socks anymore, they just make us roll them up

well i was there back in march, dont know if things have changed. we got our nametags when we got our blues in the second clothing issue.

oh yea rolling the shirts is a real pita.

another thing volunteer for your detail to be a shoe aligner (easiest detail), DO NOT volunteer for latrine crew.

lol who the hell would want to get on latrine duty??? and i heard the kitchen back deck washer (or sumtin like that) was pretty easy too

theres a 1/4 mile track ACROSS the street from fairchild :D

but you probably wont have the liberty of using it im guessing

lol yea iam pretty positive i will never be able to get out there, not to mention my camaro will be in louisiana

myself and 3 other guys were "Day room monitors".

Now THAT was cake! Not even noticed by the TI!

I was an airman when I was going through basic, aren't they called "Trainee" now?

yup trainee till the last week.

yea your are trainee so and so, until after you complete warrior week, then you become an airmen

actually your a trainee until 6th week when you get your "airman's coin"

Hey I was told don't volunteer for crap, because then your a suck up and they f with you more. Is that true?

i was told dont be afriad to volunteer cause then the ti wont think your a wimp and tryin to get out of a lil bit of work

Hey I was told don't volunteer for crap, because then your a suck up and they f with you more. Is that true?

well if your an element leader or a dorm chief it seems like you get more shit. like when ppl screw up you pay for it.

it all depends on your TI, ive heard there are some cool ones but i had some that were big dicks to say the least.

the lady TI's are a joke especially when they're tryin to intimidate you :jest:

i also heard the females were the meanest and bitchiest, and make you do the most ridiculous stuff

yea thats true, they think they are guys.

i met a pregnant one and this trainee accidentally called her a sir. needless to say it didnt go to well for him :D

Oh please, if you see each other give a shout. Your TI and any surrounding TI will love it. Feel free to be chatty-cathy during chow too. Don't forget to walk with your hands in your pockets, wipe your nose in formation, wear your hat backward and especially don't forget to store your chapstick in your portfolio/canteen web belt while you sleep. I'm not sure if your recruiter told you or not, but it's a really good idea to wear your "Property of the Air Force" tshirt or w/e the recruiter gave you that says Air Force on it. TI's see this as a sign that you're not going to be a pain in the arse and they'll go easier on you. It's generally a good idea to stand out as much as possible.

Bed aligner was by far the easiest detail.

Sounds like a good idea pneumothorax

i hated bed aligners..... they kept fuckin up the beds so i had to keep re-aligning the shoes....bastards

my ass is going to make my bed once and sleep on top of it for Nine weeks lol! i think im going to need that time in the morning hhahahaa

you better hope that you have a nice TI. when mine caught ppl doing that he would just flip the bed upside down. damnit im hungover and about to go to work :mad:

You might as well not get a hair cut or cut your facial hair either. Grow it while you can. I went to basic with a beard and a black eye (I got pictures). It's cool because they don't make you shave until like the 3rd day when you get your sterile uniforms.

Hungover work sucks. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten a DUI driving to weekend duty the day after the Christmas Party. Fuck...Open bar is both a gift and a curse.

lol haha.

Good luck man, it's not too bad. I went through back in April-May of 2001. I was a bed aligner lol, easy shit. The only job I would volunteer for is Guide-On. That and the dorm chief are the 2 positions that will pretty much never get "recycled", because the TI is counting on you to give him/her a good score on your graduation day march. Plus the guide-on is a sweet job, our TI would challenge other flight's guide-ons to see who would go to chow first, pretty cool. Plus the guide-on is the one with the flag and everyone sees you when you march. DO NOT be the chow runner, thats a shitty job lol.

Oh BTW, you get your Airman's coin when you graduate Warrior Week (5th week).

I have lots of pointers if you want. Just pm me.

Enjoy the family bro. I am married and have 2 kid's and I just got back a few week's ago from MCRD ( Marine Boot Camp) Also it should not be to bad because you are only leaving them for 6 week's and as for me it was 12. Good Luck
