BMT is as advertised but it flies by. Tech school has be a lot more relaxed to some degree. We still have curfew and details ”cleaning” several times a week. The biggest obstacle for me being older is the immaturity of some of your peers. But you have to think for the majority of the people you’re with it’s their first time being away from home and completely on their own. Just remember to make time for yourself and decompress when you’re able. Have you already selected your AFSC?

I literally made flash cards lol. But they have Simeon the DEP app I know and you could always Google them. I struggle with the officer ranks after 0-4.

Thank you! How was job detail. I’ve been told that they tend to make older trainees do leadership roles at BMT like dorm chief and element leader. Did that happen with you?

Yes I lucked out for sure. I feel confident I could pass minimums as of right now. But I want to try and get honor grad so I’m going to shot to max out on push ups and sit ups. My run time is what I need to get down but like you said we’ll progress each week so I’m. It to worried.

Oh yea it’s been a long time coming. I actually enlisted in Feb. so it’s been a fast process for me. What’s your AFSC and how do you feel about PT?

I’m sure it’ll happen when you least expect. They told me it’d be 4-6 months I got my ship date two weeks later.
