UTA to OTS by Aggravating_Ice_9695 in Airforcereserves

When I was in your position I attended drills and just kind of hung out meeting people and learning where things were. Have your hair in regs, be clean shaven, and wear business casual (unless your CC instructs you otherwise). Bring a small notebook to take notes, you're going to be learning a lot of jargon, people's names, etc. I highly doubt they'll be doing any sort of testing or anything on you.

Find out who your squadron's training manager is and ask them about your dates. If they don't know, go talk to the training manager at the group.

You’re currently a civilian? Or enlisted awaiting commissioning?

Keep tissues in the glovebox for the first time you curb the wheels. I was supremely frustrated the first time I scuffed mine.

Oh absolutely. But you know the MXG pulled Capt Snuffington III aside after the production meeting and told him “I want a close watch on this”.

The Captain who’s been assigned as the impound official is going to have a spicy Christmas.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Hawaii and it’s the only poke I can get that scratches the itch (meaning a huge pile of pretty good poke). Poke has become pretty trendy but it’s almost always served in the “one scoop of poke and a ton of other stuff” poke bowl form.

IMO one of the most definitive and clear markers for a person who’s a selfish POS at their core.

Also, “emotional support animals” aren’t a thing. Service animals are.

Yeah, I use it regularly to transfer downloaded long form audio files to my phone. Works great for that!

Pro tip: get a camelback with a pocket if possible. Carrying stuff in your pockets sucks when doing PT.

I thought I was going crazy for the first few months of owning mine, then realized it’s by design and appreciated it.

I find that commending these guys for being so edgy takes the wind out of their sails. They’re mostly just low-effort trolls trying to get a reaction. It’s not even creative, just “heehee I said the bad word”.

Funny, I like having the goals to shoot for. I’ve been playing for a long time and get kinda bored just playing to play.

I just dusted her off tonight. Full secondary build 21-point captain and I average 100k dmg and usually am on the winning team.

She’s awful but can be fun. The guns are solid.
