I think he's been a TI for a couple years.

So does he.

The Air Force is getting tricky.  A lot of guys are basically light infantry.  The focus should be on flying.  Or as the late, great, Col Hackworth suggested, merge all the forces into a defense force similar to that of Israels.

   Age means nothing. Dont go in there thinking they were waiting for you to come save the day for them, and lead the flight. My flight went through a couple guys before they got bored of making examples of them, and settled on the last guy. Its all head games.

    They overload your mind with 200 things and if you remember 150 of them, they want to see how you react about forgetting the other 50, and also how you respond to them jumpin all in your toejame.


     Dont get assigned laundry detail. Cleaning the toilets is better. Hand picking through 12 or so fellow airmen's dirty underwear is not pleasant. I know.

     
      Go into basic with the goal of getting through it. If you listen, and pay attention, show you have qualities of leadership, you will be noticed. Just dont go overboard trying to get noticed. They know.


      After that, do well in the school they send you to, and good luck in a duty assignment. Save your money!

I never had to do them but if I recall, you bend over and grab your ankles then basically squat from that position.  They looked like killers.  Position of attention remedials were out of this world too.

Selino, I'm a TACP.  Most recruiters aren't that knowledgeable about the career field so if you want some inside info get in touch.

Eh, it wasnt so bad...

[nirvana]

Hehe, you can say that now that you're done.  First week or two you were like that the majority of the time weren't you?    Sir, Congratulations.

[clerick]

[eagl]

So...  Where are you heading now?

Yup thats them. And you can see the Navy jokes following me up after I would have explained it.
