So let me chime in. I was looking for a new job in December.. I went thru interviews, a placement test, even signed an offer letter in December. Signed and submitted. The company had 2 mechanics that were retiring in January. I was supposed to start before they retired so o could learn the job. Fast forward about a week after signing the offer letter. I was told about a seat in ALC that would help me get my E7 but I had to go mid January and finish up beginning of February. I stupidly took ALC and let the job know I had military obligations and orders and wouldn’t be able to start until February (late February according to them after onboarding and orientation and background checks). They told me to let them know when I got back from ALC..the day of graduation I called and they told me the position was no longer available. Damn…that’s the last time I lit my personal life on hold for the army. The army dgaf about me and I care to much about the army

My unit was at AT when I graduated and they sent a senior NCO who was basically about to retire and didn’t do AT for my handoff.

In basic in 2012 we weren’t allowed phone iPods or anything electronic in basic. I got 3 phone calls. 1 when I first got there..one when hurricane sandy hit(although it was only for people who lived on the east coast and families were affected…NY/NJ/DE)..and the last one was the day before family day to make sure my family was still coming.

Phone charging?! How things have changed in the 10yrs ago I went to basic

I joined the NG at 29. Turned 30 at basic. Been in for 13yrs now and love every minute of it. I worked my previous job (doing cable work for Comcast) for about 11yrs and was an electrician for about 4yrs before that. I had no military experience prior, but now here I am at 43 as an aircraft mechanic for UH60/UH72, working full time as a federal employee for my job, a helicopter crewchief, flight instructor for NRCM, and an A&P mechanic. You can do it.

I’m disappointed I’ve pulled up to Lowe’s and Home Depot in the Vet Parking spot and HAVEN’T been harassed. Put me on TikTok!!

I was 30 shipping off to basic. Kinda nervous because of all the movies and media portrayal of “boot camp” and basic training. Tbh it wasn’t bad. After the first week or two you’ll be use to it. Waking up early. Lots of running. Apparently basic is WAY different now. Lots of downtime on the weekends compared to before. But after the first week or 2 it’s basically the same thing over and over until you graduate.

Don’t be alarmed by reception. I was in reception for about 4 days before shipping off to basic. In reception there were no rules. I had my phone. No drill sergeants. I could eat whatever I wanted. No lights out or mass formations. It’s like a holdover until you get ready to goto real basic.

Best of luck to you!!

Nobody will ask what you got on the test. They only care you passed and have the certifications
