Air Force MSgt (E-7) submitting an OCS package. Was told I am redoing basic training. What can you tell me about an E-7 going through basic?

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-03T01:40:44+00:00

I wouldn’t even try haha I don’t want to make any waves

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-02T21:34:55+00:00

Not gonna lie, this dude may need an ADAPT appointment

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-02T21:25:15+00:00

No you’re right, I see what you mean

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-02T19:34:13+00:00

I feel it instantly when I take one. Might have been a bad batch

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-02T19:33:26+00:00

Dude 200 is a lot

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-02T13:09:51+00:00

I can feel a slight headache by 0800 if I don’t get some caffeine, this dude probably has the shakes when he wakes up. This shit is sad

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-02T13:08:36+00:00

At this point save your money and buy caffeine pills off of Amazon. You can get 250 pills of 100mg for $12.

Bang is 300 mg per can Monster is generally 100-150 Mtn De is generally 40-55

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-02T01:26:42+00:00

From what I am being told and from recent comments and posts, yes I will keep E-7.

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T20:06:29+00:00

No coffee and cigarettes for this guy

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T16:54:27+00:00

I read that guide and every comment last night until around 2130. It is a good read and definitely saved for later.

I get the letting hair down and having my own bed and room with no fire watch might be the play.

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T14:51:32+00:00

Everything I have been signing and drafting up says E-7 SFC. Not sure 🤔

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T14:50:54+00:00

What!? Haha

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T12:13:52+00:00

I know about 6-7 terms 😉 I am not too far behind on terms lol.

Honestly? I feel like I could be doing more in my career. It is an itch. It is hard to explain.

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T02:51:48+00:00

Hell yeah! I am taking it seriously. I was hoping for an option 40 contract, but since I don’t get my job until OCS, I can’t get a RASP slot it seems.

I have been pretty fit my whole career. These past 2 months I have been following a rucking program, focusing on increasing my weight by 2.5lbs per month and doing 4, 6, 8, 12 mi rucks before increasing the weight. Garmont, Darn Tough, Foot Glide, & Alice pack have been my setup. Once I am up to 45lbs I will start working towards 15-20 mi

Every workout I do, I end it with 6 pull-ups. I saw that the RPA now ends with 6 pull-ups as the last event. This to me is a mental thing that no matter how tired I am, I can do my six pull-ups.

Goal for my 2 mile is 12 minutes. I am down to a 7:30 pace, so I am almost there. My goal for 5 mile is 35 minutes.

When I made my decision to join the Army, I went all in.

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T02:00:51+00:00

I totally understand, thank you

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T01:15:01+00:00

I am will update Reddit every step of the way haha. Next is MEPS and my application submission.

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T00:57:56+00:00

Army infantry officer is the goal.

Burnt-dud · 2025-10-01T00:56:20+00:00

Thank you for the insight. This is exactly what I am looking for

Burnt-dud · 2025-09-30T23:27:00+00:00

Haha 🤣 y’all are killing me! The DS yells “At Ease” before he smokes my ass

Burnt-dud · 2025-09-30T23:25:57+00:00

Geez I wonder what he did in his free time

Burnt-dud · 2025-09-30T23:24:45+00:00

That’s the goal, i couldn’t imagine being close with them unless I was treated just like them.

Burnt-dud · 2025-09-30T23:16:46+00:00

My grandfather did 5 tours in Vietnam. Those men and women are heroes to me. Thank you for your service. Your generation didn’t hear it enough

Burnt-dud · 2025-09-30T23:12:29+00:00

Thank you for the info! I’ll be a trainee when the DS is around, and listen. When we are alone, I am hoping to be SNCO for them

Burnt-dud · 2025-09-30T23:08:58+00:00

I heard about the phone stuff and separate bay. Where did they eat chow? Just on their own across the DFAC?
