I'm fairly certain it would be worse than when Airman Brooks reported to basic training for Flight 424 at the 322 TRS with half an afro that was green and the other side of his head bald. They didn't leave him alone the entire 6 weeks.

Ah, the memories. I miss being an ATO sometimes.

If you have lot's of stuff, use the front door's, at the circle (near the statue). The First Sergeant's office is near those doors, and he has a flat cart you can use. He'll probably even help you load your stuff if you ask.

Hahahaha... I'll keep that in mind

Bring sweats because they will want you to have all of your required gym clothes every day, and don't get any screwed up colors either. You might want to sleep in them too.

Not that I advocate working the system but... there is only 1 night a week you should actually be sleeping in your bed... the rest of the time you sleep on top of it which means you are going to need something to keep you warm and grey sweats work just fine

So should we also bring a winter hat and gloves or can those wait for colder weather? Thanks

[Dr. Peebody]

thanks for the advice guys.

I wonder if I could get one of them to polish my shoes for me , that should be interesting to see how many extra laps and pushups and sit up and everything else I have to do lol.

Does anyone know if you can collect your Montgomery GI bill while in the academy and/or training phases?

[dirtyduce]

Yes you can get the GI Bill. If you go to this Link:http://www.gibill.va.gov/

You can find more info.

I may be wrong but I think it is considered "On-the-Job or Apprenticeship Training" and you receive 85% of the full-time GI Bill rate for the 1st six months. Someone who has used it may have more info but I also believe they have someone at the academy who will help you set it up when you go. It is also Tax Free.
