Hehe... Sounds like the candidate classes at my squadron. I'm a CTO right now and it is fun. We have our classes on Friday nights and they last 3-4 hours too. We have a pretty small squadron, only about 20 members or so, so there aren't too many signitures. We PT throughout the whole class. Everytime they mess up we're PTing. We also do the matchbooks. Each candidate gets a matchbook with 20 matches at the beginning of the quarter. If they do something really dumb or repeatedly do the same dumb thing we burn a match. If they run out of matches they're out of the program and have to try again next quarter.Originally posted by Birdie:No kidding. I had to get over 70 signautres from a bunch of power-crazed actives that would give you crap all of the time. We had to pile in cars looking for these people's houses or search all over campus, and then when you find them you would spend half an hr trying to get their signature and something wouldn't be right so you would have to try again the next day. Candidate training was at least four hours long (Saturday around 0300). Sure, only an hour was PT, but everytime you made a mistake throughout the rest of training you were back on the ground doing more push-ups or flutter kicks. By the time PT started you were so exhausted you could hardly hold yourself up. Candidate training was hell and that's why a lot of us new actives are proud to be Arnies. We took lot from that and generally have a lot of respect for all of the acives who put us through hell, especially our CTOs.

You had to apply for AAS and they rejected you?! I'm pretty sure that isn't kosher. You usually fill out an application, go to candidate class, pass the NE, and you're good to go. If your AAS squadron has some screwed up leadership that won't allow everyone to try and get in then you might just say screw AAS. If you really want to pursue it, find out which cadre member is the AAS advisor and talk to him about it. There are pros and cons to that though and I think you can figure out what they are.Originally posted by FalconXtreme:this years AAS line just crossed over this morning in LeLab it was pretty cute. i must say i'm a little bitter cause i applied and didnt get accepted :(

LOL. I would be forthcoming with that kind of stuff. It's not like it was a big deal. It'd be better to tell them than letting them find out on their own I'd think.Originally posted by Beaver:Dude, you are screwed. There's no way the Air Force is going to let some crazy ass 10 year old rabbit killer in. Psycho.
Now, who wants to go kill some jackrabbits?

LOL. No color yet! That last section was kind of wierd. I think the bst way is to answer them truthfully. Don't try to out think the test.
All I know is that is was the most fun I've ever had taking a test.

Candidate class doesn't necessarily equate to a horrible GPA, even with a heavy load. The academics for the candidate class at my squadron consists of studying for the national exam and warrior knowledge (WK is something you have to study anyway). There's always going to be some extra stuff to do, but I would say that it is about the same as a one unit class. If you're taking 18 units in a tech degree, then maybe you should wait until you have a lighter load. However, if you have 15 units or less, then it shouldn't be a problem unless you're totally lazy. AAS is worth it. The bonds you build with your fellow candidates will last forever.

AAS does a lot of community service type stuff. It all depends on the squadron you're in. I would encourage it. It will help your OM at your det. If you haven't been to FT yet the candidate program will help too.

Forgive me if I sound harsh, but people who are irresponsible and have criminal histories don't belong in the military. My two cents.

I would say dating betwen POC and GMC is an unprofessional relationship. It compromises too much. The only way I could see it being okay is if the relationship existed prior to one of you becoming POC. I'm going to go with some of the others here though. Why would you want to date within the corps?? There are SO many other girls out there. If you go to a tech university then look for chicks at other schools!

The Cadre at my ROTC det keep telling me that the downside to ENJJPT is that if you wash out you will not fly in the USAF period. It would seem to be to same way for JSUPT or UPT. My question is how big of a wash out rate is there for ENJJPT? I know for JSUPT there are remedial training programs to keep folks from getting cut, is the same true for ENJJPT? Also, how much more intense is ENJJPT from the other UPTs?

Will a slightly curved spine be a problem with my FC1? I've never experienced any physical problems because of it. I've never had any back problems ever. I went and got it checked out when I was in high school and the doc said he would call if there was anything wrong. He never called. Nevertheless, my right shoulder is slightly lower than my left.

I saw the movie in Vegas, at the Luxxor, right after I spent the day at Nellis on an ROTC tour. All the stuff in the movie is at Nellis. And I'll be damned if I didn't recognize three or four of the officers that were in the movie. BTW - the Threat Center is a bunch of fun!
