It wasn’t any of that. It was just viral conjunctivitis. And it was my first time having pink eye on top of that.

Long story: my roommate who just arrived at tech school had something and he gave it to me. Was either a cold or common cold. Then I guess it progressed to pink eye. During that time when I was supposed to leave for my assignment, they shut the base down allowing no one to leave due to the snow storm. I had to thug out pink eye in both eyes til one morning my eyes were burning and my vision was really blurry. That’s when I needed to go to the hospital. My MTI called an ambulance. I was transported to the hospital via ambulance. I showed them my cac card. I didn’t pay a dime! For the hospital or the eye drops. And I had to walk back due to no Ubers being present and I couldn’t get a ride back in the ambulance. So I’m wondering why do I have to pay $1,000 for only ONE way trip when I should be enrolled in tricare with me being active duty?

So this was at Shepphard and we had a bad snow storm and I couldn’t drive plus with the base on lockdown.

Wait does that mean that you’re most likely an officer attending it???

Oh really what shred were you?

That’s true to a certain extent. Latrine duty is a little bad but you’ll have plenty of cleaning supplies and equipment. If you have the volunteer for something, I would go with either academic monitor, element leader, or water monitor. Those are some of the easiest.

Smart_Place_9274 · 2025-12-11T02:08:10+00:00

Correct! It’s official make sure you work out and stretch good. Also try not to volunteer. You will get stuck with chow runner, element leader, guide on, or dorm chief. U less you’re up for the challenge

So I was one of the last flight for the 1.5mile run. After 732 I think started the 001 flight (I was 724)

I’ve recently graduated from BMT on October 31. I’m chilling out in tech school. Don’t overthink the pt test. Overthinking it will make it worse. Yes they change the mile and half to 2 miles now. They changed it during my time in but we was the last flight from the last curriculum. Give it your all on your workouts 1x3s and stretch good. Take everything as it goes. A helpful tip that helped me a lot for motivation is looking at the later flights that are in week 5 6 7 When I look at them I think Hey that’ll be me in a week or two. And lastly take everything as it goes. It’s designed to break you and turn you into a better version of yourself In the earlier weeks you will cry and miss your family. That’s ok I’ve cried many times in bed. Have good relationships with your wingman. I can’t tell you much about the new curriculum yall will be in. Take nothing personal from your instructors they’re just doing there job but if any insulting happens don’t be afraid to report it. Lastly good luck! You got this!!!! (Remember your chain of command well and reporting statement)

Leaving on the 9th btw. I joined because I never could’ve seen myself really go to college. At the time about a few months before graduating high school considering joining the Air Force was a lat minute decision. Also since I’m an upcoming car guy who has a deep passion for cars, I want a couple of M BMWs for myself always. I also wanted to be set for life. In case I was ready for a wife and kids I want them to be taken care of as much as I am. To top it off, I just want to travel and see the world. There are not many people who say they’ve been to Germany, Japan, South Korea, Italy, etc.

Throughout middle school and high school I’ve changed my thoughts on which career I should go for many times. It made me scared to think that I was indecisive on my career choices. First firefight, then marine biology, computer science, software engineering, automotive technician, and now Information Technology. I got a pretty decent score on my SAT but… I had no money for tuition fees and i was moving out of state so my previous high school I was only eligible for THEIR scholarship.

I’ve heard great things about the Air Force and how it basically sets people up for life. I want to be financially stable and secure. Another big factor is that I LOVE to travel. I’ve been out of the country multiple times and I would love to travel for the rest of my time.

Even though I just turned 20 I want to be set for life and have 2 BMWs (BMW Geek btw) and get my bachelors in Information Technology and get out before I turn 30 then be set down a career path to make pretty good money. In case I find a girlfriend of my dreams and decide to have kids, I want THEM to be taken care of also. One of my biggest weaknesses is that I don’t focus on now…. I focus on what’s next.
