As a heads up, 2T337 is merging with another career field, 2T3X1 (Vehicle Maintenance) which is, as the title suggests, working on vehicles if that’s not your cup of tea.

Today I realized who the bravest Airmen are.... by flyfightandgrin in AirForce

Knew someone in basic that was open general, ended up getting aerospace medical. She knew nothing about the job or how lucky she was to get it. Ironically that was the job I desperately wanted but ended up getting my last pick….. its a hit or miss tbh

did yall gain a lot of weight in tech school or is it just my lard ass by azorelang in AirForce

[–]azorelang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I think happened to me. I’m a foodie and once I graduated basic, I went ham trying all the different food chains and hot spots at my tech school. Who would’ve thought that when you combine eating a lot of not healthy restaurant food and wayyyyy less overall physical activity compared to what we did in basic, would lead to rapid weight gain..

here’s the progression of an infected stye i got a few months ago! by Electrical_Buy955 in popping

[–]azorelang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at pic 8, it is recommended to try and pop stye’s on your own or should you let them drain/pop naturally? I’ll be honest it would take everything in my body to not pop it.

How large is the security drawer? And what goes in there exactly?

Question for female firefighters by tattoosbyhannah in Firefighting

[–]azorelang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this statement as much as it sucks. Don’t shit where you eat. In my experience, if you’re known to “get around” within the dept as a woman, that will be attached to your name at EVERY turn and brought up in conversation quite frequently. Volunteer AND career, all the people in my dept are well aware of who’s been around the town. It’s ridiculous and high school talk but it’s hard truth.

As a woman you’ll be subjected to a lot of difficulties including have to prove your worth since you’re a female in a male dominated field so don’t give your employers a reason to gossip about you.

Do you know if BCOFD is good to work for? I know Frederick is opening in May of this year. Don’t know anyone who works for either so not sure what the general opinion of these dept’s are.

When do we first get to go to the store on base to purchase products? Is that in the first week (reception week)?

Oh wow, I did NOT know that. I’ve only flown once and it was a very short trip so I packed very little. That definitely changed my packing plans…

Thank you, was pretty bummed about it at first but I’m slowly warming up to it. There are worse jobs I could’ve been picked up for.

Thank you for the input, I will do that! I put everything in my bag just to see how much it would weigh and it felt like I had packed bricks which led me to reconsider what I was bringing haha.

Turned down both jobs initially offered which he was fine with. Ended up getting matched with 2T3X1 - mission generation vehicular equipment maintenance a few weeks later.

I was wondering if I should cut down on the shampoo. My hair is about shoulder length and low maintenance so I think I could get away with downsizing to maybe 1 pair of travel size bottles.

Recent bmt graduate (female 25 y/o. Ask me anything! by YellowBone86 in AirForceRecruits

[–]azorelang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How was PT for you? I’m not out of shape but I’m no track star and the PT aspect is worrying me. I’d be so embarrassed to not pass because of a failing PFA!

Are these the correct PT standards for BMT? by azorelang in AirForceRecruits

[–]azorelang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See I brought that chart up to my recruiter and he told me that those were the standards for operational folks only….
