Well it seems that the cadre is starting to lick their lips for BCT.
Take heed to everything Raimius, Hornet and others are saying, b/c they are the ones that will be now looking for the rule breakers. Last yr on CC it became a huge issue, b/c appointees started talking smack and how they were going to work the system. Cadets over there told them they were taking names and appointees dared them to do it. Not a wise decision!
Not to frighten any of you, but these 2 forums can come back and bite you very quickly. They will have faces to put with names and as much as you think you have camraderie with them, they already can see certain areas that they might want to break you on. And just like the operational world, you can be my bud off duty, but on I own your a**. Don't confuse the two. Also don't start freaking out about this, keep telling yourself no cadet has died from this and I too will be fine. It really is about bonding and learning the AF way. However, if you believe you are better than everybody else, it could be a little more intense. The quicker you get with the program, the better off you will be!
Only a few yrs ago, one cadet was made famous from his MySpace page and it was a big hit on youtube of the cadre berating him on the bus. If you watch it, it takes him a few seconds for him to connect the dots on why him. Then there it is, the realization it was his my space page comments!
Not saying don't talk openly and question, just remember these cadets walked before you...just like parents they know all of the little tricks b/c they too tried them with no success.
As far as the PT gear...it is really great. Realize that only recently did the AF start an official PT gear. It is a very dark blue,(way deeper than the service blues and closer to black) the silver you see is reflective and more like the color of lead. The T shirts also have the reflective design. The weight of the shirt is great for physical activity because of how it wicks away the sweat. The shorts also wick really will too, so you will feel comfortable in it no matter the weather.
You're right Pima, I'm probably on top of their list, already...
Well, if you guys really need to- I'm going for the first orientation.
IF I make the dinner, and Hornetguy attends, then seek him to point me out. lol
