kempfs92

Yep I was in basic

Im in the discharge platoon


What sucks is I had my dream mos ,that would transfer in the civilian world.


Hopefully I can reenlist in a couple yrs.

how'd you do it?

the dudes i saw break stuff in basic were guys that NEVER ran/did any sort of exercise in their entire lives, just had weak bodies from a lifetime of inactivity.

We had a guy break his arm in basic. They put him in "special training"...guys who,for various reasons,couldn't be with the rest of the trainees but would probably get through eventually.

OP..tell us more.

ZMONSTER!

ya where were you doing osut and for what MOS? When I went through 99% of the people had shin splints and stress fractures. We would go to the aid station get some motrin and drive on.

I guess yours were realllllllllly bad. Good luck to ya.

Ch 5-17 is a commanders culling tool for involuntary separation. I would like crap too if I got that.

I figured he was in basic too. I broke my femur and it was never even discussed of me being discharged, unless i didn't heal in two years. Once you're trained, they have to much time and money invested in you to boot you...

Now THAT is something I could see them MEBing for. Breaking your femur takes some work

I would have only gone to the MEB if I was still on profile after a year. Which even going to the MEB doesn't mean anything...

I just got out of AF basic and we had a guy come into our flight after 5 months at the 319th for stress fractures in i believe his knees....he passed his final evals and graduated with us.

Good old 319th. My flight was a good one. We graduated 50 people. No one got recycled but we did have two people leave.

I just graduated AF bmt July 24 we graduated everyone and no recycles. We had 57 in our FLT. What SQ was in there? Im at Keesler AFB now for tech school.

I was with the 320th, went to school at Sheppard (which despite what every one said..I kind of liked it. I hung out with a pack of LS1'ers every weekend) now im at Lakenheath, UK where its 53 degrees at night in august.
