It's a completely different dorm since I went through Security Forces training in '02. I don't think it's even in the same location. When I was in, each dorm room exited to the outside (like a motel). I was on the 3rd floor. My wife was staying in Intown Suites in San Antonio. Because my room exited to the outside, I was able to sneak out every night, run down the stairs, across the road and through the ditch to where I hid my wife's car and go to my wife and daughters hotel. I only stayed the 1st night in my dorm. It was 2 airmen to a dorm room with 4 sharing the bathroom. I lucked out because my dorm mate didn't want to share a room so he kept my secret and kept the room clean. I don't think I could get away with that in this new dorm. Even though its different, you did bring me back some very very good memories of that, so thank you for posting this.
Still looks the same after a year and 1/2, including the Day Room. Was in Security Forces tech school before being re-classed into Supply/Materiel Management at the 344th, though I was at Jailhouse originally. The vending machine in the middle looks new though and they gave the walls at the Refuge a new paint job.
All the girls are so lucky to be in firehouse man, Jailhouse we had to share a bathroom and and pray that are wall lockers werent messed up. But Jailhouse did bring some good times
You are required to have 2 boxes of MREs under the bed?! Will i be able to have 2 boxes of only vegetarian meals Or would i have to trade with other people?
Ok real old retired SP here, we did tech school in the WWII barracks, had to use paste wax on the wood floors on our hands and knees every morning detail. 5 weeks of that then we had to go to Bullis for our last week and live in the plywood hooches. The lucky ones went to their first base after that, most of us had 7 more weeks at Bullis for 60 training and ABGD, again in the lovely hooches in the summer. If we wanted anything resembling entertainment we had to go to the Chaparral or Skylark and flirt with the female basic trainees LOL. At least we could drink in tech school back then, and the drinking age was 19.
I'll be there in September but you'll be gone by then. I can't wait. I'm tryna get swole while I'm out there tho.....how often can I go to the gym while in SF tech school.
Things have certainly changed since my time in USAF. My goodness! Hahaha. These people would cry tears if they had to live in the Barracks that I did. I’m talking back in 1971. I was insulted the first time I heard the slang chair force, I’m good with that now. Lol, so cold in the barracks at Loring AFB, you were glad to get out of the rack and hit the Latrine and take a red hot shower, slept in chicken coop shacks in Vietnam with screen wrapped around them to help keep the mosquitoes from sucking all of the blood out of your body. Lol, if I were in today I would certainly make a career out of that piece of cake. Yes I was a SP, and was treated as one. How bout those open bay latrines where you had maybe 20 toilets and 20 sinks no more then 6’ across from one another. If you was shaving or brushing your teeth you always had someone sitting behind you taking a dump.
hey girl my gf starts tech school next week. is there something you recommend for me to give to her ? i wanna send a care package with a few stuff but not sure what.
How does joining the Security Forces work. You pass the Asvab test and let's say you pass and can choose to go for it. Do you start training for it right away, do you have to get picked for it, is there a waiting period or something? I wouldn't want to be stuck with something else or have to get lucky to get it or wait really long to do it.
Security forces is high demand but you will have to get picked for it and if it’s open you’ll get it the only waiting period is for your contract. As long as you meet the requirements for Security Forces, there’s a high chance of getting it
hey im Taylor and im joining soon and i am trying to get more info on jobs. My top 2 jobs are Diet Therapy & Security Forces. Do you like the job SF and how was/is your tech school experience? Also would you recommend SF to anybody?
I’ll make a video on my experience but I personally love it and I’ve always wanted to become an police officer. It’s just physically challenging and mentally
@@glomafia but y’all have a mess hall or cafeteria where you can get your three meals? Also, thank you for your service and for taking the time to reply!! Stay blessed
