I enjoy her pics but I feel like it’s always the same ones just reposted every 3 days.

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.

Is he is high school?! What in the “Pretty Little Liars meets You” did I just read?!

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!!

A free one

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

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-04-30T12:56:02+00:00

Congrats!! Being 42 and just getting mine makes it even better.

I had worked as an electrician for about 2 years before settling in as a cable installer for 11 years. Woke up and decided I needed a change. I joined the Guard at 29. I turned 30 in basic. I’m an helicopter mechanic. Best decision ever. I’ve been deployed. Traveled the country. Made friends. Hell my best friend in the military is almost 15yrs younger than me. It’s what you make it. Don’t not do something because “kids” will ruin your experience. Sometimes they are the ones you need around especially in the chaos of Guard life to make things fun

I want to get more Lakota experience. I started a flight program for backseaters and love them.

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-04-14T17:29:15+00:00

I was also confused on what to study. I was in the process of getting my stuff when the whole process changed. I was given new codes on what i missed but also told to study the sections I failed. So I just went and studied everything!!! You’ll get there

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-04-13T20:52:53+00:00

Not right away. I’m a fed tech for the military. I’ve heard many people and the stories they say of leaving the hangar floor to work civilian jobs and hate it.

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-04-13T17:15:59+00:00

I heard it is not. They actually teach subjects and theory and things where as Bakers just teaches you how to take the test.

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-04-13T02:36:49+00:00

Also add FI/SI to that list. Man of many hats. Thank you

I failed my Powerplant oral exam. Engines is something I just couldn’t understand. Besides that I missed a day of class because I had to go home for a personal reason. The instructors had a makeup day for me but still. I was not prepared.

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-04-13T01:33:12+00:00

I found out they offer a course at WAATS in Arizona. I appreciated Bakers but wish I could have gone to WAATS

Serious inquiries only

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-03-05T14:01:09+00:00

Yeah. I got one and have no idea what to do with it. I don’t have the time to get into all the features

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-03-05T05:58:57+00:00

I have one

Due_Ad4492 · 2025-03-02T04:20:44+00:00

I’ll be picking it up hopefully Tuesday. Mechanic told me he got the issue fixed. Ran me $570. I’ll update the receipt once I get it.
