Hey thanks for adding this information! I just looked into this and it will be curious to see how everything plays out. And yea I think I mentioned in a few videos that, I can always explain things, tell you about my experience, and tell you what to expect, ACTUALLY going through it is a whole different feeling. Glad I can shed some light on things! If you haven't already, follow me on instagram here! 👉 bit.ly/2PKPWcW

Thank you!!!

Thank you 🙏 I can recommend you think of things you would want more experience with OR things that are equivalent in the civilian world. The ultimate reward from the military is the experience and knowledge you will get from any particular career field. I would try and match one up with your interest or at least something that in the civilian world would otherwise be hard to get into, but with military experience/background would give you a leg up in. This is an understanding of my own, not THE answer, let me explain. When you go "open general" you are, more or less, telling the Air Force, "hey, I will take ANY job that I qualify for within the 'general' category." So, the first one that is open and meets your qualifications you will satisfy. Also, I don't know if this is still true, but those who picked "open" general, mechanical, etc. won't know their job until 6th week. Let me know if this helped! Take Care.

David Capperino thank you. You explained it better than my recruiter did. I'm thinking of going open general (I got a 92 on my ASVAB by the way; don't know what it scored out of but I think I did well) because there aren't many medical jobs offered and Im really not interested in doing anything mechanical or electrical ( just not my area of interest or expertise) and I just hope that you at least get to pick 10 or so jobs from the open general options and the Airforce matches you with the one on your list and what they need you for as oposed to them picking one for you without your intake.

First off, that is fricken awesome! Getting a 92, I'm pretty sure it is out of 99. You qualify for most jobs, except for like maybe 3, in the Air Force. IF there is a job in medical that you want, put that down and wait for it to open. You don't HAVE to take a job just because your recruiter says that medical isn't open. You may wait some time before something like medical opens up, but it is NOT impossible to get something in medical. Let me know if this helps or you have any other questions.

More or less, you're basically telling the Air Force, Hey pick my career with my qualifications in "this" field.

Thank you! 😂

They’re the best!

Hahah I wish I had this experience

Yessir!

haha hell yea!

Yes you do! Or at least I did 8 years ago. You have to withdraw it or use it all because I assume you won’t be able to use it again. They don’t have that everywhere that’s a BMT specific thing.

Lol

Hahaha wow! I feel Iike I would be irritated! Like wtf!

Thats so funny lmao

?

CONGRATS

Hi. Its been a year since you figured this out. My husband is in bmt rn week 2 and did they provide those things for him?

@@baileykeiper9795 yes there is certain mail days in the week and they give them the mail they just will have a hard time responding cause of being busy and not having a lot of free time

@@dylanmcbee1259 thanks for the quick response :)

It looks like this was answered, haha my apologies! So many comments. How are things now?

You still can? Hundreds of thousands have been able to.

I’m guessing not!

Haha yes!!! Stick together!

haha ain't that the truth!

Thanks! I hear ya, It is definitely a big decision! What are your thoughts so far?

David Capperino I been looking into security forces. But I’m not sure yet

If you have any questions about it, please let me know! My roommate is Security Forces I can ask him.

It’s either every day or every other

Nope! Not at all!

It sucks to write everyday to get 4 letters in return in almost 5 weeks. His MTI is very strict too. Thank you

Yes, unfortunately that is just the nature of the game. Remember, it is all temporary! Best of luck

Its all good now. Just started wot7 and is up for honor grad 93 on pt 98 on eoc😁

Yes he should, they will notice there’s a mistake and find him on a roster somewhere and then when he writes back hopefully they notify him that you had the wrong address so that he can write the correct one in a letter to you. Hope this helped!

David Capperino I had the exact same situation! Thank you for replying and answering my questions before I even asked haha

In my experience in from the people I have talked to after coming out of basic training recently, they do not

Just got out two weeks ago. They do not, unless it is some sort of package. Other than that they don't really care

You can, but I mean you may get lit up for it

And definitely bring attention if found out

For prewritten letters?

Just curious as to why it would be an issue to pre-write letters. I heard it was ok to bring SASE PRE- ADDRESSED.

haha how'd you know?

David Capperino only two Air Force bases I can think of in the panhandle are Tyndall and Eglin, I live in Panama City. About 10 minutes from Tyndall. Been looking into joining. Girlfriend’s parents retired here. Both served 25 yrs. each in Air Force so I’m around Tyndall all the time.

Oh wow! That’s awesome, yea I’m doing training here but my home station is Eglin.

🖤⚫️ 🦅

Never mind I just saw the guys post below me! My tech school is in Pensacola Florida, maybe we could meet up and do a video on basic training or something.

Hell yea! 💪🏻

Would love to! Pensacola is like an hour west of me. I’m down! When are you going to tech school?

David Capperino I will be at tech school June and July. July would be the best time because I would get to leave base that month.

Okay, I’ll keep that in mind!

Yes you can! and congratulations to your husband! And you, you are now part of the journey! Best wishes, would love to hear his/yours story when he gets out.If you have further questions, follow me on instagram! It is easier for me to track questions there! 👉 bit.ly/2PKPWcW
