16 weeks of hell. Hard work, stress, long hours, long periods between meals, heat, sweat, yelling....it has all paid off.

WTG Slinger!
I was an Honor Graduate from 3701 BMTS Flight 454 December 13th 1978.
I remember those hats well.
Good Luck Sarge!

I'm 29 thank you. I look skinny in that pic because I've lost about 20 lbs since I started TI school. This school was hell, but it was even worse since I started it in april and carried it through a pretty hot may....a hot month of june and a scorching month of July. The minimum amount of hours we put in one day is about 12, and that's consider a short day (like leaving work at 1PM) Other than that there where alot of 4:15AM to 8:30 PM days where all I had time to eat was a power bar or two. When I first started my tailored 34L pants where uncomfortably tight on me. Now they hang off my waste.

And the blonde is Mrs. Gunslinger and has been for the past 4 or 5 years (can't remember wich

)

holy crap! I have underwear that's 29.

But seriously, for a 29 year old you are well ahead of the curve as far as I can tell. Well done.

Thrawn,

The "hat" means tha gunslinger is now a DI (Drill Instructor). Wanna enlist???

Guns, congrats on the position. You have a real job ahead of you and I don't envy you the hours. Hopefully some young troop will send you a letter later on telling you how you helped keep him alive later on in the watermelon storm. It will all be worth it then.

Now about that young lady next to you. ROWR!!!!!!

Wtg. Sounds like one of those things that sucks while you're doing it, but is a fond memory whenever you look back on it

Damn. Yanno, except for the stripes on the sleeve, that outfit looks EXACTLY like what the security guards at the mall here wear. Especially the hat. Amazing.

Sorry man I couldnt resist the dig. Big congrats man.

grats Guns!

Actually, he is a TI (Training Instructor), unless the Air Force changed it from when I went through. I know they chaged thier rank/grade some years back. 4 stripes used to be Staff. Now it is Sargeant, which used to be 3 stripes.

I believe DI (Drill Instructor) is Army and Marine Corp.

And congrats Guns!
