Air Force Tech School Dorm Tour / United States Air Force (Fort Leonard Wood) 

Thank you for sharing that. Wonder if anyone from the same AFSC can verify if they still do something similar. Sounds brutal

@@cybermikeofficial Honestly, boot camp and tech school were much easier, back then. Peacetime military after the end of Viet Nam. 20 years, never heard a shot fired in anger. Today, the training had to change to keep up with the times and threats we now face as a nation. I am proud of my time in the Air Force as an SP. But I am amazed at how well AF cops are training now, and amazed at how well they are doing. I retired out of Andrews back in 95 and would go on base quite often since I remained in the area till 2014. After 9/11, trying to get on base was time consuming and I didn't go very often. I had a job with another agency in the area and while still a cop we had our own issues with entry control onto the installation. And the face, if I road my motorcycle on base, I had to wear long sleeves and an orange vest. Eventually I went by the base often enough and enjoyed seeing how things were going. Lots of memories as a cop in the USAF. No regrets. Not even when I was stationed at Minot AFB ND for my first assignment after tech school. Yeah, got cold there.

When I went to my tech school in 2000 we also did not have 341s. It sounds like you were SF at the school house there right on lackland. I was involuntarily selected to be in charge of the flight during tech school.

"341," there's a blast from the past, LOL (USAF 1970s-1980s)

Thank you for your service, Sir!

Wasn't bad at all. The Army food was the biggest adjustment haha

Lol! This was 5 years ago. Not sure how it is now

every generation thinks the one(s) that comes after their generation is always so much worse🤣

😂

😂😂

I'm shipping to tech school today and while I was in BMT I was issued ABUs

You might get ocp's, we were told they were handing out abu's in BMT till October of this year. That could have changed though

They just switched to OCP's

Nope, it's free. Assuming you're not prior service, otherwise you get per diem, and that would cover your lodging. Yes, there is an Army DFAC a few minutes away from the dorms.

Thank you for your service. This is an Army base, and we had the same barracks as the Marines, Army, and Navy. I don't know what the dorms on AFB's even look like.

@@cybermikeofficial You must be new then. In my 10 years in the Corps, I never had decent quarters until I made Staff Sgt. and lived in Staff NCO quarters. Up until then, I lived in open barracks. The only personal space was within the confines of the position of wall lockers. Almost as bad as boot camp and ITR. But I am pleased to see things have changed for enlisted personnel quarters.

There are quite a few Air Force Technical School Detachments on non AF installations. The Marines and Navy also train some of their troops at Fort Leonard Wood as well.

Appreciate ya!

Oh my bad I just saw your tech school vid

Good luck! Anything Cyber related is highly competitive like you said. I was Pavements and Construction Equipment (Dirt Boy) for 4 years, but now I'm an Administration NCOIC.

Lol. Since your comment I just got a call to ship on the 17th for client systems which I think I’ll take. Seems like a bottom of the barrel job in tech support. But i have zero it or Cyber xp. I scored a 94 on the asvab and passed the Cyber test. Which feels like a bit of settling but I still think it’s the right move

@@nickcardona1059 Sweet! That gets your foot in the door. You'll obtain your Security+ certification in Tech School and you'll be earning towards your CCAF IT degree.

It's a Tech School dorm, so I don't think we were even allowed to decorate it. Most tech schools are pretty short as well. I was only there for 3 months.

😂 it is what it is
