E3 - A1C Smith

    I really know that I'm bad at staying on this thing, I really do.  I say it everytime I write something new!  But anyways, still at tech school...forever and ever.  Been at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio for months now, since November, and I won't be graduating until June. ): I'm sick of the place, and everyone keeps getting the dorms in trouble, so we're basically on lockdown on the weekends lately. For the past month, they've given us curfew, which absoloutely sucks. Words cannot even describe how frustrated the higher ups have been making myself and the fellow Airmen here.  The newer Airmen than me?  I don't feel bad for.  But my job as well as Biomedical Tech, I feel bad for, because we've been here forever. I think they should grandfather us in, and ditch the curfew.
    Other than this stupid curfew, I made A1C this past Friday, because it was my 5 month out of BMT mark. Now to get that volunteer stuff under my belt to get SrA BTZ. (: Hopefully, I start getting my E3 pay soon, because living paycheck to paycheck is starting to suck.
    Since I'm E3 now, I had to sew on stripes.  When I went to pick up my Blues from the drycleaners this weekend, I forgot them in the dressing room AFTER I paid for them.  And then they proceeded to not be open on Sunday OR today.  I'm quite frustrated and hoping that no one took them and the cleaners put them up somewhere, because I can't afford a new service coat, lightweight jacket, and 2 shirts.  I'm praying to whatever's out there, because I really need that stuff back.  It was on account of my own stupididy, but I'm still hoping.
    I'm not going to say that life's good, because I'm not jinxing it, so I'm not gunna say anything.  Whenever I admit to being happy, life get's all crazy.  But I've got a lot to be thankful for, so I won't complain today.  I've got my family back home, my Air Force family here, all my close friends who have become family, steady pay, and an adventure laid out before me for the rest of my career.
    I'm in class now on break, so it's time to close this out.  I'll appologize in advanced, because I know I won't be any better at keeping up.

ATP.

I'm still slacking, I know, I know.  My intentions were to make an all-inclusive BMT Bible on here, but BMT feels so far away, I hardly remember it - just sort of a stressful blur.  I went near Lackland the other day on my way to Brandon's families house for Thanksgiving, and I think I got a major case of PTSD.  I was looking behind all the giant planes as we were driving by for TSgt Anderson and Tsgt Berry to yell at me for being near a male.  I need to go there for Christmas shopping for souvenirs but I'm so freaking out I'd see one of them at the BX and I'd pass out from fear or something, hahah.

Alright, alright, BMT wasn't THAT bad.  I actually liked my instructors.  Just had a healthy amount of fear toward them (which they like to call respect in the mlitary).  I guess I just don't really know what people want to know about BMT!  I have a notebook that I used as a journal there but I doubt y'all wanna know what female I was fixin' to strangle on the daily or about the blisters on my feet.

But that's all I can think of to write.  Writers block, you know.  I have some lunch and some laundry calling my name.  Cya!

tech school.

Alright, so I'm here!  I'm at Ft. Sam Houston, and I LOVE it.  This place is gunna rock.  There is SO much to post about BMT, but I need to organize it first.  I took lots of notes and stuff while I was there to post some good stuff.  Other than that, I had "class" today, though we weren't supposed to, to get a head start.  I'm going to be Dental Lab, 4Y0X1, Medics HUA!  Seems super fun.  I found out my PCS (Duty Station) today, but I'm going to keep that semi-under wraps for a while until someone can guess it. (:  More later, it's the weekend, pizza/movie night in the NPO room!  Xo

Hello Blogger!  I am officially Airman Smith, coin and all.  I'm on Town Pass with a friend's family for the day, but I'll post more this week from tech school.  (:

t-minus TODAY!

I'm all processed, sworn in, and officially active duty. I'm at the airport right now with my fellow AF shippers, and I'm the head shipper responsible for the others. I have orders to fly to Detroit at 1746 and then to San Antonio at 1946, estimated arrival time at 22:15 tonight. I'll post more about shipping once I'm in tech school, but Lackland, here I come!
