my older brother introduced me to this site..i haven't quiet got the hang of it yet..but everyone seems nice :) anywho how is everyone?

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.

it's just a week, hence the name hell week

...
I thought hell week was the final week of SEAL training.

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. :]

Hey everyone! I'm back!

Welcome back, Phantastique. Did you enjoy your dinner? :]

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

hey Mnemosyne! i did it was nice! So what's the conversation about now?

[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. :]

just so long as you know what goes on behind the closed doors of the maintenance department

Ah, military stuffs. Not really my are of expertise. I'm studying to be a teacher!

My mom is a substitue teacher

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!

Ihave no clue
I'd probaly ask around

Yeah, Ill probably do that next fall semester, since I'd be getting my associates at the end of this one!

Hellooooooooooooo!!

::listens to the echo::

Seems mighty quiet in here...So procrastinating that noone can talk.
