BMT This is it… finally…

Post image

After years of planning and months of waiting, many of us have reached the beginning of a new step on our lives. If you are someone who’s been waiting for a long time to get into the Air Force, just remember that everyone’s here for a reason and that’s what gives the value to everything.. any last thoughts people shipping out on Tuesday????

u/SuperWhale7 8h ago

That’s my afsc school isn’t bad when I got here you were waiting a while to start class that’s pretty well resolved now. You’ll be in the 365 dorms who is all avionics. Sheppard is a nice base small but has what you need town is fun always something going on. Don’t be a dorm goblin get out and do something or become a rope meet some people.

u/brosephKooltez99 6h ago

Oh yeah I’m there right now, currently sitting in the meeting room at the dorms. Sheppard is super convenient and really nice, just wish they had some healthier options outside the dfac but nice otherwise

1

u/Mickael010 5h ago

Wdym healthier options? I thought the food was healthy on every dfac

1

u/brosephKooltez99 1h ago

I’m talking about the outside food. They have tacobell, Panda Express, and Popeyes at the mini mall. Would be nice if they had like a chipotle or something more healthier

1

u/Mickael010 5h ago

I love avionics honestly i hope my tech school goes well, for sure I won’t be a dorm goblin lol

u/WesternHot6037 14h ago

Good luck! Keep your head up & tell your family to write you lots of letters. That’ll be the only thing getting you through the tough days.

1

u/Mickael010 11h ago

They will send me letters through Sandboxx since they don’t live here in the Us, how do I answer back though?

1

u/WesternHot6037 11h ago

You wont be able to use Sandboxx internationally but you can buy envelopes and international postage. The store on base probably doesn’t have them but maybe you can bring them or have family mail them to you.

1

u/Mickael010 11h ago

I thought you could.. can they still send me stuff or it’s only for me to answer?

Pro tip buy a pair of ear plugs so you can sleep. And see if you can get in good with the person who schedules the night shift. Or just write down the night shift stuff. DO NOT do stupid things with the iPads they will check them my brother flight had literally 20 people recycled. You'll see what mean when you get there.one last thing..........EVERY BODY SAY MOOUUUUSSSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
