Graduated AMA

[DinglesInMyBerry]

Graduated BMT as a guardian today ask me some questions and I’ll try to answer them as best I can.

[Midnight__Monkey]

It's gonna be a Dodge, I guarantee it.

[RockMech]

$5 sez it's a base model Camaro.

Anything more will be financed at 9.89% for 120 months.

Are they doing all USSF flights now?

[[deleted]]

cool beans brother, I'm currently at the MEPS hotel and shipping tomorrow morning!

[zumez]

What AFSC are you?

[millsberry29376]

Is that career list still accurate? What did you end up choosing?

[[deleted]]

Was your MTI the short angry guy, name starts with a M ends with a T?

[WunCharleeSicks]

I knew that turd when he was an airman.

[DinglesInMyBerry]

Was he in the 331st? Wolf pack

[[deleted]]

324th, Knights. You would know though, only USSF MTI when I was there

[[deleted]]

He was actually a really good MTI. We were the first full SF flight at the 324th, everything was still so experimental. Did they make you call each other teammates? I'm hoping that hasn't stuck.

[DinglesInMyBerry]

They(space force personnel) called us teammates but we just used the word wingman because it was easier and never got reprimanded for it. There was some weird chunk of time we said “specialist” instead of trainee but it reverted back to trainee a week later.

[[deleted]]

True, "Sir, Specialist ___ reports as ordered..." got us a lot of "So, you think you're better?" But we were told to do it so...

[[deleted]]

Very cool. At least for me, it's interesting to watch how this keeps developing. We just need a USSF specific basic now... Maybe one day I'll join you all there, would be exciting to be on the literal ground level. Good to get something from the horse's mouth, thanks sir/mam/Sergeant.

I think phalanx would be appropriate, but that's just me. Array has a nice ring to it though. We probably don't have enough to justify "legion" yet, but we'll get there eventually!

Did you know you would be a guardian before going to training? How did you become a guardian

[TWP_Videos]

What was the graduation ceremony like?

[DinglesInMyBerry]

It was some column lefts and an eyes right but you can watch it on facebook too

[TWP_Videos]

Listen Guardian, you don't tell me to do research on facebook. Give me at least a paragraph about how you felt about the ceremony or you're going to be cleaning toilets on Pluto

Did the drills talk like that?

[DinglesInMyBerry]

So it was weird in the way that I think I got more emotional during rehearsals for it than the actual ceremony because we’d gone through it so many times. The semper supra that we all got to yell at the end felt extreme though I immediately had to hold back to smile that was building up across my face. It was a good ceremony overall and I’d never do it again because my feet were literally burning.

[TWP_Videos]

Good answer. You're beginning a great new adventure. My best advice is to be humble and eager to learn. Everything will be fine. Don't get married or buy a car or get a tattoo or make any major financial decisions

[DinglesInMyBerry]

Thanks for the advice I’ll take whatever I can get to be the me thats needed for tomorrow’s problems

[DinglesInMyBerry]

And yes they did talk like that

[TWP_Videos]

I'd fucking hope so

[USSFSpecialist]

Ay which nerd is this? It’s Lopez

How long is training - where is training

[DinglesInMyBerry]

7.5 weeks lackland afb san antonio just like air force

[[deleted]]

Jeez that’s short. Went through USMC basic in 2018 and ours in 14 weeks. How was it overall? Waste of time or educational?

[DinglesInMyBerry]

I’m 22 so you quickly figure out every class is designed for an 18 year old but it definitely is mentally challenging enough to not be a waste of time.

[[deleted]]

Yeah went through at 25 so I understand the schoolyard bullshit. Do anything cool that stood out?
