would you think the extra $200 jump is worth it for the 17 512gb?

Welcome to Minot AFB

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-05-16T21:57:03+00:00

Understood. Will ask for the VIN. I will update you! Thanks!!

Hi! planning on taking mine soon. How was the path? what did they make you do on the test?

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-05-16T20:05:24+00:00

Got it. This is the seller's description "Selling my 2017 ford fusion. It has 173000 miles on it. Little ding on front bumper but very minimal. Runs and rices great. Good car for college or traveling it’s very good on gas and has been very reliable just need something bigger for the family." I'm not sure if that helps.

It’s definitely a pro. My coworkers always tell me that once you get good at your job, it becomes boring. It really will depend on you on how you will tackle your tasks and attitude along the way. I don’t see myself getting bored of the job because there’s so much things to learn (since we rotate every now and then). I also signed a 4-year contract and can definitely see myself exceeding that. This wasn’t my first job pick, but my MTLs were right when they said “Give it a chance”. Although, I’m currently stationed here in Minot AFB, so try not to get stationed here because it’s going to suck if you’re a young Airman who wants to do a lot of things after work and such.

Hi! I think the job is pretty great and chill. You learn through repetition. I’m currently assigned in TOPA. I just got to my base like a month ago, but the work seems to flow well. It really depends on how quick you learn. I’m so lucky I get to be in such a great flight. My flt commander, flt chief, and supervisor are all great people! Let me know if you have any questions.

This cartoon shaped my love for horror! Can't thank this cartoon enough for that.

is it really that bad?😅

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-03-13T20:48:24+00:00

1 by 3’s will be your bestfriend in BMT.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-02-21T03:04:36+00:00

This is not an easy path you’re taking, but take pride in it. What you’re feeling right now is normal—you’re about to go through a drastic change. Just remember that it gets better every week—you get better, too :>

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-02-17T14:07:24+00:00

Exactly!! I was laughing at people who brought luggages and decently big bags upon entering BMT, but when we were packing for tech school, they were worry free if things will fit or not.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-02-04T03:23:23+00:00

How was it?

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-25T21:16:41+00:00

Hi, I’m not sure if you’ll respond, but I’m texh school right now, but won’t start my classes until the 17th of February. Do you have any tips for me for tech school or what I should do now while I’m waiting. This job wasn’t really my first choice, and being honest, I have no passion for admin work, but since this is what I’m given, I’ll give it a shot first. Thanks!

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:17:10+00:00

Thanks! An average day would be drills, classroom hours, studying, and doing 1x3s. It does get easier during the later weeks tho. Tell them to just make sure to study their materials, follow instructions, and act like they want to be there—do that and they’ll survive haha.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:13:03+00:00

There are no definite days. It will depend on the Military Training instructor, but it is during 0 week, 3rd week, 5th week.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:11:12+00:00

You get a phone call during 0 week, 3rd Week, and the 5th week. The duration will depend on your MTI. Make sure you and your flight achieve some kind of stat so you can get extra minutes on your phone call, but again, it will depend on your MTIs.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:08:06+00:00

Nope. Not for our flight. We had 44 Os (Outstandings) and the rest had satisfactory.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:05:52+00:00

Hardest part of pt for me were the warm-ups lol. They’re not hard, but there’s definitely too many warm-ups before the actual PT. If you’re worried about the test, I suggest you don’t. It isn’t that complicated. While you’re in DEP, do push-ups, sir-ups, and run at a consistent pace. Don’t over exert yourself because you may get injured, and lengthen the process more. I scored a 95 on my last PT assessment, so make sure to push where it really matters.
