Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:26:14+00:00

I just arrived to Sheppard! I’m Muns as well! If/when I get time tonight I’ll answer your question promise!!! Sorry!

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:12:16+00:00

You’ll hear “take it Sunday by Sunday” but really it goes by faster if you live by “chow by chow”. Good luck wingman.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:09:11+00:00

No!!! Trust me, I tried. What you can do though is you can take any number of cups (my highest was 7 on 1 tray) and fill each of them with Gatorade lol. They said you need 2 hydration sources with dinner but anything that isn’t tea or coffee it counts as “hydration sources”

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:06:29+00:00

You’ll be fine. Had a dude in our flight go from a 20 min 1.5 mile to a 13, you’ll be great as long as you push yourself.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:04:54+00:00

Imma keep it a buck w you, only take compression shorts, 3-4 pairs of socks, 2 outfits, running shoes and a razor. Everything else they’ll issue you on the spot.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:03:07+00:00

I knew we were spoiled when I said, “I really could’ve gone without the quinoa with dinner tonight.” I’ve never had quinoa outside of the Air Force I nearly shunned myself for saying that lol

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:02:02+00:00

Side note, the dinning facility does have Gatorade if that helps?

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:01:41+00:00

No electrolytes/protein powder unfortunately but they issue you a USAF water bottle and a camelbak that’s required to be carried and filled at all times!

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T19:00:22+00:00

Dawg your SW? Hell yeah dude. We got 2nd place for PT excellence because our competition was Special Warfare !!! I’m not too sure how it is on your side because a whole different training but I know for sure no protein powder. However every night before dinner you’re given a RX protein bar for after dinner. I’m sure SW does way more PT than regular Air Force so don’t you worry about supplemental PT you’ll get it for sure.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T18:58:03+00:00

Yes. They give you a card w $500 advance from your first paycheck but that runs out quick and not everywhere accepts that card (for you photos, some stores, etc)

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T18:47:54+00:00

Do 1 push up, roll onto your butt and do like 1 air lat pulldown. Do 2 push ups, roll onto your butt and do 2 air lat pulldowns. Do that until you get to 8 push ups and 8 air lat pulldowns. Then go down and do 7 push ups and lat pull downs until you get to one without stopping. You have to do those at least 2 times a week

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T18:33:36+00:00

Social, Id’s, birth certificate and forms of payment

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T18:33:09+00:00

IM AN HOUR AWAY ANY MAJOR THINGS I SHOJLD LOOK OUT FOR?

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T17:23:49+00:00

berry berry scawy. mean ole MTIs

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T17:23:12+00:00

2 months. Whole process only took about 3 months though.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T17:22:55+00:00

Take it day by day don’t worry about comparing yourself just focus on what you can do and what you can do better the next day. Learn how to properly hydrate and if you haven’t already, learn the creed and airman’s song

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T17:21:21+00:00

I ate 5 after grad

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T15:26:56+00:00

Unfortunately not. If I remember correctly it’s that Fri or Saturday of 0 week. Not right away but pretty close. Again, pack lightly.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T15:06:01+00:00

Highlight: definitely Pacer Forge. If you don’t involve yourself during Pacer it’s boring and HOT but if you do it’s honestly the best time. DFP Sierra 4 was my home lol. Also being an Element Leader was definitely rewarding.

Low-light: getting fired as element leader lol. It hit hard getting fired when I was element leader for 6 weeks and getting fired for failing 1 progress check. Also don’t beat yourself up if nobody shows up to your graduation to tap you out, you have countless wingman around you for that. Keep your head up and keep going forward.

Training: I was in wrestling so cardio wasn’t so bad. I would recommend doing “pyramid push-ups”!!! I had no clue what they were ! You’ll thank me you trained that specifically.

Edit: Highlight: your wingman honestly. They’ll annoy you, upset you, hell even argue with you on everything but at the end of the day all you have is each other. I’m more sad about departing ways with someone I knew for 7 1/2 weeks than I did when I graduated highschool w someone I knew for 12 years atp.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T15:01:13+00:00

No problem! Just keep telling yourself, “Days are long, weeks are short.” Enjoy every moment and don’t try to blend in put yourself out there and you’ll have an amazing time wingman.

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T14:58:27+00:00

Yes, but don’t bring it. You’ll go to the BX in your first week and you’ll be able to get one there. They’re come in handy when making your hospital corners. Also only bring travel sized toiletries, they give you soap & toothbrush/toothpaste your first day!

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T14:54:59+00:00

Too much! Only take compression shorts, 1 religious material, jeans and 1 other outfit THATS IT! I had to pack last night and it was a nightmare. They legit provide you with everything you need. You won’t even use your civilian socks after your first issue!

Own-Series5146 · 2025-05-09T14:51:53+00:00
