Training will no longer be an annual requirement. For me it will be something that I live and breathe. My old career field spends a lot of time on simple tasks that we do ad nauseum. The Loadmaster career field demands that each member be fully trained and qualified (current and qualified) on all [...]

We’re entrenched in academics and its all fairly standard stuff. For the past week they’ve constantly reminded the new airmen that if they fail, they’ll RTP (return to parent). There is no reclassification and there are no second chances. We actually had an airman come talk to my class about failing – he was [...]

Yesterday evening I arrived at Lackland, the home of basic military training for the Air Force. For the next two months I’ll be in class just like every basic training graduate. It’s back to basics for me. I’m retraining into the Loadmaster career field (1A2X1).
Simply driving around this place has brought back [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote a single post titled approved. Here is the rest of the info.

I’m waiting on promotion results to arrive and [...]

I’ve got one last day of cramming ahead of me and I still wonder how I am supposed to retain all of this information. I’ve picked out the most important bits and pieces but there are still thousands of them to retain. Studying sucks.
I need to register for a math class on Friday. [...]

Jessica and I joined Jeff and Leanne at a campground near Ocean Shores, WA for a few days of camping and relaxation. The weather didn’t completely cooperate with us as we spent much of the time huddling around the campfire shivering but at least we didn’t have to deal with any rain. The camping [...]

Jessica and I have been trying to study this past week but distractions are slowing down our efforts. She has got a few days left of school and she is cramming to get it done. She pulled her first late night session of trying to get it all done – I told her that [...]

While I haven’t yet reached the west coast I have arrived in America and its quite nice to be back. I’m still rocking the same clothes that I’ve been wearing for the past 60 or so hours. Traveling via military channels seldom goes without a hitch and I had quite a few.
I was [...]

I’m not in the mood to write a full post so I’m going to give you a file and a couple of links. First off is the best appeal to an Article 15 punishment that I’ve ever seen. Its well worth the read – I had a feeling that I wasn’t the only sarcastic [...]
