6 hours of base liberty!

Alright, I have more time to write so I will.

What to say... Well, I am an element leader (of 5 student leaders, 4 element leaders and 1 Dorm Chief) in my dorm. Our 2 randomly assigned dorms were split into 3rd weekers and above and 2nd weekers and below so on our MOS' yesterday we had no failures and our dorm setup kicks ass.

The attention to detail and the high inspection standards are insane compared to street flights (because we have lots of time to do shit here). My boots are insanely shiny, look professionally done, by hand. It took me 4 hours and it took one gaggle of retarded zero weekers to step on my boots to destroy it.

I was writing this letter about this but I'll type it instead. There are so many flakes that come through med hold, it's amazing, people who you wonder how they survive in world. I am happy I am not one of these people. I hate dealing with them and now that I've been in the 319th so long the TI's trust my opinion as a trainee/student leader, so we usually get them either send to the 2nd week or below dorm or if they are really bad we send them to BAS (behavioral) who 7 out of 10 times discharges them for having major mental issues (failure to adapt). The power is sometimes overwhelming.

I was a seperation guide for the squadron too. TI's and civilians don't really deal with bringing seppers (ppl seperating), so they have a couple of "responsible trainees" do it. If one of them gets an attitude or causes problems we have the power to keep them here. I've done it twice and both of them are still here 3 weeks later. Scary. THe job was depressing as hell tho (sending all of those happy ppl home 5 days a week) so I quit it tho.

On the whole I am doing very well, I want to graduate and all that stuff, you know? I want those blues. I can wait. My foot has noticably improved in the last 2 weeks, so I can't wait to go back to training in a month or two.

I'll add to this as I think of shit, plus I gotta do my 2 hour call in to my squadron, so BBL.

Here are some pics of me!

Great to see you Yoshi...

I know that Boot camp is a pain in the ass... but you are doing just what you need to do... grunt through it.

I'm proud of you... keep it up.

Stay motivated, Yosh.

Hopefully yer hoof will mend quickly and you can get away from the sick-bay commandos and office pogues before they corrupt you. Get outta there, graduate from boot, and start your schooling for your primary MOS.

Double-time!



Respectfully,

Shadowmehr

Well the Yosh I knew had hair!! Looking good though how you like it? Glad to hear your getting along well. Any second thoughts now that you've got some time invested or are you more convinced you made the right decision?

For a veteran like me I'm happy to see you serve your country.

Calladen :D

Aye Cal,

Yah man, I don't regret it despite signing up for the extended BMT plan. I'm a better trainee/Airman for it, that's for sure, know a lot more shit about the military as well.

Lost a shitload of weight, getting lots of TOS and acrued leave, it's pretty nice, by the time I graduate Tech School (AIT/MOS School) I'll have about 27.5 days of leave accrued. =D

I'll be promoted to E3 in the next 2 weeks per my contract (20 weeks TOS or graduation of Tech School, whichever comes first) so that'll be more cash coming in.

At anyrate, I gotta jam, I'll talk to yall once I have real freedom in Tech School, until then, kick ass.
