oh chit! I didn't even realize "IRL BF" came in here.

[combatdepth]

Well I'm glad arrogant douchedicks like you "protect my freedom"

Lol @ you saying that. I was going to kind of listen to what you were saying, but yeah.. Classy.

Lol @ coming in here wanting respect for signing papers at the recruiters office.

[cphustla]

Should I even lift to prepare for BMT? Refer to my stats. My understanding is that all you do is a sh*t load of running, pushups, and situps. I'm probably going to be the smallest male trainee at Basic. With all the cardio you do and short amount of chow time I'm afraid I'll look like a holocaust survivor after 8.5 weeks, but I have also heard of people gaining weight during Basic.

My brother gained weight during basic... was similar to your stats, didn't lift before.

I also gained weight during basic.. lifted before..went in at 5"7 138 10%.. came out at 143. prob like 15% lol. We both ate like animals, kept most my strength though suprisingly.. lost muscle gained fat. Kept most strength. I had a huge plate of food and was done eating it all in like 2 minutes. When it came to MREs.. the first time you might not eat everything, by the end you are eating EVERYTHING including the dairy shakes or w.e nasty drink they come with.

Na, pilots are far more often weird than crew chiefs lol. Almost all of them have some sort of weirdness

Have yet to fly with a pilot from the academy that did not have anything weird about them.

Agreed. They are always either just super awkward or cocky beyond belief.

Prior Enlisted are generally the coolest. Closely followed by recent OCS grads. Kind of weird when I'm talking to them and realize they are only a year or 2 older than I am. Makes me wonder where life went wrong. That is until I see them mission planning, and then I'm thankful for being a load lol.

Whatever happened to the academy kid that came in here with his "jump wings". Have heard from him in a bit.

Dang, you gained weight? I went from 175lbs @ 12% down to like 158@8% I looked friggen disgusting.

[Sundev14]

Stopped by to check in on new posts/military peeps... saw childlike arguments occuring... immediately disgusted.

[ClaudeGiroux]

guess im gonna be the guy who gains weight then

[iccyman001]

guess im gonna be the guy who gains weight then

The one thing that sucked about me losing so much weight was my dress blues. They fitted me while I was weighing in at about 160lb-165lbs...
Fast forward a year and I back to around 185 @11% and the **** didn't fit nice.

It's ok though, I just bought new stuff and it's been fine since then

Hey guys,

I'm looking to start CLEPing classes to get my CCAF. Just a few questions regarding CLEPs though....


-If I study 30min to 1hr everyday, how long should it take (guesstimate) to get my CCAF? I'm a fairly decent test taker, and of course I still carry some credits from basic/tech school and stuff.
-I have a few years left in the AF.... can I transfer my CCAF to a university in Japan to work on my bachelors? (the school I'm looking at in Japan should be covered by the GI bill)

CLEPS are easy. Talk to the education office, they will tell you the easiest ones to take that go toward your CCAF. Look into the AU-ABC program for transferring your CCAF credits

Research my username in this thread and see my posts about CLEPS/DANTE'S. I'd do it for you but I'm on an iPad and its annoying. Anyways. I've completed 7 CLEPS. Google free clep prep, instantcert, and degreeforum.net for excellent study guides. Ill try to find my post if you don't get to it.

[JMcC775]

JMc,

I don't understand your profile pic. Please explain. Thx.

What you confused about? Older pic of myself when I was a bit fluffier if thats what youre on about. Dont have a ripped body but im running -11 min 1.5 mile, max sit-ups and 55 push-ups. Keep it for motivation.

[SDFlip]

You sit there and wonder why the services people at the gym are never in shape?

3 different bases and they all look just average....

If I worked in a gym Id be 200lbs and 7% bf with a 1500+ combined big 3 lift.

there used to be a SrA here at the gym.... freakin monster. used to SLDL like 500 for reps, haha

TLDR, but you can clep your whole ccaf in a few weeks

[JetLife]

Since we're talking about school....

When I do decide to get out and use my GI Bill, I want to goto a school in FL,TX or CA but my home of record is in FL. Does it matter where I decide to use it at , as long as the school accepts it?

[graciejjbrazil]

not sure if attention whoring, or if sincere.

Myself and the 3 people below me seem to have an issue with you. Time to ask yourself why you feel the need to complain be histrionic needing to draw attention towards yourself.

(The same goes for Combatdepth. Not sure if he's your troll account or if you two are in a domestic partnership together.)

Well being a week from boot camp and told I can't go. I think I made a solid effort. So you can have a little respect.

You have issues. All I said was I'm pretty sure it's the only joint base in NJ.

Your woman cheating on you?

What you are basically doing is crying because someone was nice to you.. I dont understand this logic?
"Hi, thank you for serving"
"F-ck you!"

People like you give active service member a bad name..

Grow the f-ck up kid and stop crying when people are nice to you by default..
Because you would be doing the same crying if I was a total prick to you by default.

[chrsschb]

Minus the Afghani ladies who managed towels and item-checkouts, all the gym employees at NKC in Afghanistan (while I was there at least) were swole.

Pretty much nothing to do but eat, sleep, workout and watch pirated movies.

You got me kid, I'm actually in the civil air patrol. I'm F2's older nerdy brother that lives in his moms basement.

Yup this is definitely the AF thread.

lawd I just realized I know you irl.

[Vaen]

I heard cyber systems ops was a good gig, hows it going for you.

Eh... I'm not digging the direction we're headed, but it's been decent to me. There are a lot of good opportunities in this field if you know your sh*t. Looking back I would have been a 2E2/3D1X2 if I had known better. Outside of that I've been stuck in the Intel world for over 7 years now and haven't touched base comm since so I have no idea how to do the bulk of my actual job.

Probably been mentioned before but any tips on studying for SSgt? I test out of cycle due to my current deployment, i have about 4 months before i will test.

People are telling me listen to the pdg while you sleep and other crazy stuff.

I need 122 combined PFE & SKT, and really concentrating on killing the PFE right now....good or bad idea?

You need to do yourself a favor and look up the most recent MKTS. It's a spreadsheet with survey results of what people believe to be the most important topics to know for that test cycle rated on a scale of 1-5. Study all the areas of the PFE rated 3.0 and higher and forget the rest (or skim the rest if you'd like). Using this method helped me score a 77 this year on PFE which was 16 points higher than my best ever.

On whether you should study your CDCs or not depends on your job. In my career field I do nothing with anything in my books so if I don't study (like last year) I do horrible.

Subbed for later. Am 90% sure I am going to enlist.

Kind of worried about my colorblindness.=/ I just want to get accepted.

Colorblindness will DQ you from a lot of jobs, but there are still quite a few decent ones left over.

And cot damn this cowgirl sloot is annoying i swear m8 i will wreck her mum

Lifting won't hurt you, but focusing on cardio will be a good idea. Have fun being the road guard, though.

Fuuuu NKC, would kill myself if there. That place is so small.

Anyone else upset that got rid of the IDEA program?

Brb let's cut the program that was built to cut costs and save the AF money.

[LitlMikey]

get us that damn fire extinguisher brah. we have 2 functioning jets for 6 crews out here lol

Haha holy moly. Those crews must be rackin up some nice per diem. Man, if I was you guys, I'd tell the V-Ops boys to take their sweet ol' time gettin that fire extinguisher. Make some serious cheddah.

Plus you'd make some friends over there. If I ever had a crew tell me to take my time with a P&D order, I'd probably poop myself and grin ear to ear.

what is road guard? didnt read anything aout that in BMT

[combatdepth]

A duty you'll want to avoid lol. Basically when you're doing road marches, PT, etc road guard run out and block off the road/intersection while your flight is crossing the street.

Our road guards were also the water boys for chow and laundry crew.

[pep_meister]

i know i mentioned it before, but fiancee is currently in dep, i am air guard, does anyone have experience with this? when we get married will my unit transfer to where she is? Does guard have to allow me to go with her or is it up to my commander?
