Congrats!



A C-17 Globemaster III from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., performs a fly-over during a proclamation ceremony Sept. 8, 2009, at the California State Capitol Building. The ceremony named Sept. 8 to 13 as Air Force Week Sacramento, an event designed to educate the local community about the Air Force's capabilities and missions through a variety of exhibitions, forums and performances by its premiere entertainment groups.

Congrats!

What the heck was a OT?

Officer Trainee. How they're referred to in OTS.

 

[mjg407]

Ahhh I guess when your service is still but a baby you don't have cool names like Midshipman.

LOL! What are AOCS candidates referred to as in the Navy?

Congrats FF and Fez...any words of wisdom for an OTS hopeful?

 

[germb747]

Congrats again bro!

Yes. Don't suck.

Along those lines, there's a lot of stupid stuff that goes on at OTS. Just take it with a straight face, and then laugh/cry/whatever you do to cope later on when you're by yourself. I laughed my ass off at OTS.

Congrats again bro!

Thanks dude! How was the trip to Kandahar?

As Frog said, don't suck. You'll need to spend your time very wisely for a good portion of the program. It does get easier as time goes along. If you're in good shape, you'll probably leave weaker than you came in...the PT program is worthless. That being said, if you can't get an 80 or better on the PT test right now, you need to get there before you arrive. You do not have the time to be worried about being recycled for failing PT.

You will have a pretty good time though. With people living so close in the dorms, there's plenty of bufoonery to witness and participate in. The flight commmanders get more fun as the program goes on as well.

Bottom line, don't be a d-bag and you'll be fine.

Good luck.

That was The Fez you quoted, not FF.

Fired.

Congrats Frog...I mean ...uh....SIR!!!

 

[imatworkallday]

Fired.

I havent figured out how to do that double quote thing. I was indeed thanking FF for his "Don't suck" advice. However I was also quoting Fez's info and thanking him as well. Both have very good info.:rawk:

 

[skidz]

Frog, what's coming up next? Are you a flying or non-flying officer?

Flying. I go to IFS, then UPT, then on to the C-5 if I don't suck. Check http://forums.jetcareers.com/military-pilots/93994-aspiring-military-aviators.html if those acronyms are confusing.

Thanks for the congrats!
