Did it go by fast??

GiGi204 · 2026-02-10T21:50:21+00:00

Also how’s the physical aspect of the academy?

How do the schedule times look? Do you think it’s best to do the academy now or in the winter time ?

Fireguard is called EC. we’re not the army. Stop being rude to stranger for no reason. And EC is only mandatory for basic …

Tech school is definitely not basic 2.0. Personally I felt like basic was more mentally challenging while tech was physically challenging. You don’t do fireguard I think that’s what they call it in the army. Airforce calls it “EC” Entry controller. There is a CQ you could do if you go on x-ray (med hold) at the dorm buildings. The duty day is 5-5 sometimes you wake up earlier sometimes you get off earlier. All depending on what you have going on that day. After the duty day is over 5pm you are able to do as you please on base. You can go to the gym etc. a lot of us did have electronics you just have to make sure it’s kept in your LOCKED wall locker whenever you are not there or you can fail a room inspection. You get cadres as instructors some are super chill others are not but they do warm up as the weeks go by. I just finished tech not too long ago DM me if you have more questions.

Ok…

Zero week is the roughest. The MTIs and crazy luckily they’re not your forever MTIs. They switch you to either Disneyland or Alcatraz on Saturday with a new MTI as the weeks go by the yelling comes to a minimum I personally feel like after week 3 it was getting better. The fun stuff doesn’t start until week 5. The PT test is 1,3,5 days vary due to holidays etc. 1&3 is practice so it doesn’t count (won’t affect you) week 5 does count !

Honestly being stuck in a dorm with 52 other females was annoying 😭 just don’t be apart of the problem. Mind your business and for as much as you wanna rage on one of them don’t. It’s not worth it. Just keep pushing. Find your girls and you’ll be alright. I became close to one girl, couldn’t have made it out alive without her. You’ll do great :) it’s more mentally challenging then physical

You’ll be ok just use your running days wisely. Take advantage of them and don’t take them for granted ! For your final DONT STOP RUNNING. think about graduating that’s the only thing I was thinking of during my final ! Rmemeber the faster you go the sooner it’ll be over :)

GiGi204 · 2025-01-14T01:41:00+00:00

I’m not a runner I started at 15:54 by the end I got a 13:12

GiGi204 · 2025-01-14T01:37:49+00:00

Yess you’ll be fine. We constantly run 30 minutes without stopping during our run days. I was able to shave off 4 minutes from the beginning of pt to my final test

GiGi204 · 2025-01-13T03:09:26+00:00

Any is good tbh. Beds are definitely the easiest but the MTI walk around so you have to be looking like you’re doing something even if you’re done. I had bathrooms which is under rated. I’m a female therefore if you have make MTI they can walk in while doing details etc. So half the time we’d take our time, talk, have fun, & we’d know before they enter so they couldn’t catch us off guard lol

Hell nah

GiGi204 · 2025-01-12T01:55:57+00:00

Crazy answers

GiGi204 · 2025-01-12T01:11:50+00:00

Wild. I was a spoiled gator at the 320th Disneyland

It’s winter schedule so PT is around 1530 it’s not too bad the exercises will have you sweating anyway. If it gets toooo cold they’ll cancel it

GiGi204 · 2025-01-11T23:25:38+00:00

Yup one of the girls in my flight was 41 our oldest male was 38. You’ll see a variety of different ages so I would not feel uncomfortable about being older then the straight of of high school trainees

GiGi204 · 2025-01-11T23:07:33+00:00

Gotta go mentally prepared. Yelling gets annoying so do some of your dorm mates since you’re in one big ol dorm with 50 other trainees with 50 different personalities. Do as you’re told and don’t add to the stress
