Security plus cert cost like 350-400 buck in civilian world im pretty sure so what you should do if you are waiting to join instead is study a lot for it and ace practice tests but have the military pay for it for your actual test once you get to tech school

I was thinking about AF and doing the same job also. I was told by others if I really want to get stationed in Japan "which I really want to be", is to do short tour/deployment in SK then I heard you get choice of duty station after. Plus SK also a bucketlist country for me also.

When I went through basic in the 70's I developed painful bursitis in both knees from so much marching. At sick call I was treated with cortisone shots under both knee caps - not pleasant, but it did the trick after a few days. Got a 5-day duty excuse - no marchig or standing, no PT and I missed the obstacle course twice. I picked up where I left off after day 5 and completed basic training without being held back.

I was at Keesler around 6/81 to 2/82 to cross train into 2E2x1. My experience was different as I was an E-4 so I was housed in a BAQ style dorm. Just be on time to class and no one cared what I did on my off time. Spent Xmas./New years on base so I had to be available to serve as support for new Airman on "campus" who where not traveling anywhere. In other words, supervise work details to keep them occupied during the day. Biloxi was a nice place to spend the winter in.

Also when you say Sec+ before tech school do you mean try to get it while on civilian before enlistment? Last question can you go over what the blocks are and what they’re like?

Yeah, pretty sure you were having "heart palpitations "in regards to the heart-beat/heart-stop issue (highly harmless and can be induced by anxiety or whatever unknown reason).This first happened to me when I was 18, and I was also placed on an EMT monitor. I'm now in my 20s and still get them every now and then- but not as bad compared to the past.

@nitech-4208 5 жыл бұрын

I've also been studying for the Security+ for quite some time and debating about enlisting in Cyber Systems Operations or Cyber Transport Systems. So, it's good to know that getting the Security+ beforehand can reduce time of being in tech school.

"heart palpitations" not unusual... caffeine from coffee, tea, or coke... The change in coffee brand and strength in AF basic training probably more caffeine. < Most likely triggered yours... Sugar can also trigger your heart to do flips.

I plan on going in after I graduate college. The job I want is an enlisted job and I was wondering if I would go in at a different rank. I'm not quite sure about becoming an officer right away. With that said I want to stay in as long as possible.

@ethaninjapan 4 жыл бұрын

You need to pursue being an officer. If you already have a bachelor's you can just go to OTS. Lots of people think going enlisted after college is better but if you plan on staying in you should be an officer. More pay/better jobs and job security.

@ethaninjapan 4 жыл бұрын

Also it's not a guarantee that you will be able to "transition" to an officer once enlisted. They only accept a certain number of people for the transition program.

Think of blocks like sections. A block is about a different topic of your job, and that length can vary from 5 days to about 2 weeks. My first job in tech school was airfield systems at keesler, so I had 5 blocks at one school (Dolan Hall) and then 12 blocks at another (Jones Hall). I'm out the service now after about 8 years. Best of luck!
