I believe Air Force boot camp is similar. It isn't hard/long I am just not sure I want to do it. Everyone that I know who is in it, loves it though.


[email protected] I am doing quite all right. And yeah, the people here are fairly nice. I quite enjoy them. :] I found the place by clicking around on a web comic I read, but ended up loving the place regardless. It is nice that you have someone you already knew though coming in :]

Cool. I know someone who's joining the Navy.
I'm joining the Air Force.
I should be off to boot camp after the end of my senior year.
Aka this year in 4ish - 5ish months

And I'm good.

The Air Force boot camp is the same amount of time =)

I think it's 6 weeks for Airforce, and you go through a thing called hell week. No shower, no commodities stuff like that

[email protected] Yeah. I was told there is like 28 days we are in a school-ish setting with just a large amount of PT hours every day and then we move on to another section where we are stuck in tents living out of our bags for 3 weeks or so and have to run obstacle courses and whatnot.

Ah. Hm, maybe it is different for Officers training, then? Because I have always been told that it is around 3 weeks long for that section of it. Though, they did just say that it was recently changed so it is possible that they just made it longer/shorter.

to be an officer you have to have a college degree....
but I duno, I'm enlisted

And I think it is the last week in SEAL training...but the Airforce can use the name for hte thingy they do.
I went to a reqruiter, how ever that word is spelled.

I am currently in College. I guess I should have been more specific. I'm in the ROTC, but at a university. So I'm technically in training to be an officer, currently. I just have to go to bootcamp at some point this year to continue in my training.

I belive that after a few years in the ROTC program you are required to join

but I think Officer training is different than boot camp for enlisted

Yes, that is the point I am at currently. If I wish to continue in the program I have to join as anything further than this is on scholarship for the air force. It might be. Ah well ]: I guess I shall just have to think about it more and decide by March. Thanks for the info regardless. :]

personaly I think ENlisted who have gone officer are better officers
because they know what the enlisted have to deal with.

[email protected] That is what my uncle says as well. However, I come from a family of many enlisted men. So despite not having some of the experiences personally I do know a lot of the crap that enlisted have to go through and put up with. Which is partly why I joined the program in the first place. It is not quite the same thing, but I at least have knowledge of the good/bad on the enlisted side.

[email protected] Military stuffs. ^^; Haha. I'm glad your meal was good!


Also, I am going to go find myself some food now. So I shall be back in a bit. Thanks again for the info, Tana. :]

Woah, it got quite for a while there!

Really TanaChan? That's cool! I'm still not really sure how one becomes a substitute teacher, but I assume it is something I can do if I'm getting my degree to become a full time teacher. Maybe after I've got at least my Associate's I can find out if I can sub part-time while finishing up my bachelor's!
