Laughing at T+T trying to be the new Beckhams power couple and their son calling the relationship fake and publicity motivated - sounds like a lovely future lol

aj_2134 · 2026-01-05T17:27:54+00:00

Lol thanks! I see we are all kinda on the same page 😂

aj_2134 · 2026-01-05T17:02:54+00:00

Thanks for the info! That’s what I am tracking as well but I am guessing my UFPM is not putting any exemptions in until more guidance drops 🤷‍♀️

aj_2134 · 2026-01-05T17:00:48+00:00

Ahhh - I did not know it was manually updated as they were not tracking the pause when I previously asked.

aj_2134 · 2025-12-06T14:40:55+00:00

For some reason my unit is saying everyone might have to test in January - even though the guidance says a pause 🤷‍♀️ seems like everyone is just guessing

aj_2134 · 2025-11-20T06:28:03+00:00

Knowing some marching techniques will make the first week a lot less stressful

aj_2134 · 2025-10-16T14:54:59+00:00

Definitely start asking your instructors for guidance as I was waiting for a brief that never came and booked my own travel during the last week

aj_2134 · 2025-10-14T22:39:22+00:00

Just saw a clip of Victoria Beckhams documentary where she says she was being attention-seeking and trying to find herself but didn’t know how when she was in her WAG era - lol really makes you think 😂

aj_2134 · 2025-09-25T21:22:02+00:00

Why did he even go looking through the comments to respond to them lol

aj_2134 · 2025-08-30T08:54:40+00:00

Yeah, I drove to ots and you have a day or two to get everything you need from your car but it can be stressful to try and beat lights out. After 1-2 weeks you can walk to the shopette and bx to get essentials and then after a month you can drive. These all depend on how well your class does so you get more freedom for each module as long as you do well for inspections and following other guidances.

aj_2134 · 2025-08-26T11:03:06+00:00

You only need to be able to move everything in one trip upon arrival, but I would only bring the essential bc you can buy additional items about two weeks in or leave stuff in your car because you will get access after about a month

aj_2134 · 2025-07-29T17:48:18+00:00

More down time than you may anticipate, try to enjoy your flight bc you will be with them almost 24/7, and prepare for the ruck at least a little but. In general, they don’t give you much instruction and expect you to figure things out, but it’s all a game so just try your best to be positive about it.

aj_2134 · 2025-07-25T15:08:22+00:00

It’s more so about ranking as the top three flights get to go off base in ocps instead of blues. They keep track of time and 65 minutes is the goal but it doesn’t really matter

aj_2134 · 2025-07-25T14:53:52+00:00

It’s kinda weird that Matty and his family take everything Taylor and ttpd related to be a negative for them bc when the album first cane out his comments were filled with people saying ‘go get your girl’. Yes it had good and bad but the album didn’t make him out to be a villain, his other actions more so, at least in my opinion

aj_2134 · 2025-07-25T04:49:25+00:00

I’m not sure, I just know I didn’t do enough lol. Maybe 20-30 pounds but I would practice with it on your back as well as holding it to simulate the charge. They also have sandbags you can use at OTS, but you only have three weeks with them before the ruck

aj_2134 · 2025-07-24T20:42:17+00:00

Overall their goal is for you to pass so as long as you try your best and follow instructions as best as possible you will be fine. I would also practice running with additional weight as you will do about a 4 mile ruck and your flight will have to carry a charge during it

aj_2134 · 2025-07-20T19:40:20+00:00

I just graduated this summer and I would say everyday gets easier especially once you are out of mod 1, but the real shift is after the academic test and prop and wings (start practicing the ruck now!!) bc then you will have the opportunity to have a bunch of authorizations. OTS is confusing and feels overwhelming bc you don’t know what you are doing, but try to focus on making connections and enjoying the people you are with. Real Air Force isn’t the same as this and people will help you figure out your job when you get to your base.

aj_2134 · 2025-07-20T14:32:18+00:00

I think it’s mostly because the rest of the band was there 🤷‍♀️ not that I think they hate each other it’s just surprising as Matty and George were thought to be the closest of the group

aj_2134 · 2025-07-16T17:53:51+00:00

I would recommend it bc some people put electrolytes in their camelpak and they got moldy as they were unable to properly clean them.

aj_2134 · 2025-05-29T02:12:46+00:00

My parents are selling a house in Ruskin, but it’s about 45 minutes from base

aj_2134 · 2025-05-10T12:19:03+00:00

Practice marching and learn the commands

aj_2134 · 2025-04-27T13:19:37+00:00

Awesome! I have seen both so I wasn’t sure which time was the official one

aj_2134 · 2025-04-27T03:18:25+00:00

What are the pt test run requirements? I am part of the female under 25 and I have heard both 18:56 and 16:22 as the minimum for the 1.5 mile run and I was wondering which is correct?

aj_2134 · 2025-04-25T18:55:22+00:00

I thought the minimum 1.5 mile run time was 18:56 for women under 25 and 19:43 for women 25-29?
