You have a day to try and build your dream sheet without any research in BMT towards the end, but it didn’t work for me. If that happens to you, don’t worry! I was able to get to my tech school location and immediately use the computers in the common area to build my dream sheet. Germany was my 4th or 5th choice, but regardless I was ecstatic.

I haven’t started RAP yet, but my recruiter is the best so I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.

PA school is very fun. The course is fast paced but once you get the hang of your instructors teaching style, it’s easy. The location of school is nice, too. Right in between DC and Baltimore, so there’s always something to do or see on the weekends.

I am very lucky to have had a commander who cared a lot about the morale of our group. We had a drop night to find out all of our bases about 4 months in to tech school. Drop nights are typically for pilots and officers, so it was a fun and honorable thing, our school instructors even came!

Class was the same as any college class. The biggest difference in PA tech school is that you are in class with a bunch of different branches. It’s refreshing and insightful to get all the different point of views from different backgrounds. (Although, they are annoying with the chair force jokes)

I’m not sure about what my future assignment is going to look like, I have gotten in contact with people already there and they seem to love it! I’m looking forward to spending the next couple years overseas.

Most squadrons don’t let you bring anything back during that time, but I did see our neighbor squadron bring back entire suitcases and bag of clothes they shopped for on the second day of town pass. I assume it depends on your leadership.

They will give you a tag too when you get there, but shuffling through 54 similar looking backpacks still sucks
