I worked at Kelly AFB well before the BRAC.  I was on Security Hill for the best 3 year military assignment of my career.

I went thru basic training at Lackland AFB on Oct 23,1983 the day after the Marines were bombed in Beruit. So there was stuff going on in the world then too. I went in with a guaranteed contract to go to Kessler AFB for air traffic control and the day my orders were cut graduation day I was wisked away from flight and put on a bus with no one else from my flight to a Top Secret base. The time I spent was great and the USAF is the way to go. If you think your a hero and want combat training join the Marines or Army.

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.

We had two airmen who left during basic from my flight for being gay.  Typically, the Air Force has so little invested in you at that stage of your career that it makes no sense for them to do anything other than give you an administrative discharge and send you on your way.  You could also simply fail the physical requirements, or a number of other tests they give you.  "Failure to adapt to military life" is a valid reason for discharge as well.

OH, THOSE MEMORIES.\nI arrived in Ft Benning, GA, directly from basic training in Nov/'63, weeks before JFKennedy was shot.\nI WAS A MEMBER OF THE THEN-CALLED "11th Air Assault Division", forerunner of the "1st Cavalry Division, AirMobile".\n\nI was transferred from 11th Air to HQ CO,  where I completed my term, never having left Ft Benning. \nMy former unit, the 11th, shipped out, lock, stock and helicopters in Aug/'64.\n\nSorry I can't help you in your quest. Good luck.

After 20 years in the military, I retired and became an Installation Engineer.\n\nWhat coffee house do you work in?  I'm a BIG-TIME coffee drinker... LOL

All I can tell you is my husband was working as a mechanic in Iraq last year. The money was very good, the company was not. All lies. He now works in Afghanistan for KBR. The money is ok..not as good as was in Iraq. The working conditions are fair according to him. And yes, he did have to go to Houston for nearly two weeks for training...etc...\nEveryone goes to Camp Anaconda whether they are coming in country or leaving country. It is sort of like a central processing place.

No such unit there that I saw. I am stationed there. Check out this link to the 88th RRC.

Yes I have a cousin in the USAF and he is an aircraft mechanic.  And he has been to Iraq.  But unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see him in Balad when I was in Iraq.\n\nJoin the club.

Evidently he was not serving his time at the Alabama Air Guard unit he was assigned to. A  $10,000 reward for anyone to come forward with proof they served in the Alabama Air Guard with Bush has never been applied for. If I had "served" with a future president of the U.S., I'd damn well remember it and be $10,000. richer.

Tricky here and I will need a few details to help. First, are you an SMP? Second, have you contracted and entered your MS3 year? Next, what type of deployment order did your unit receive? What state/territory are you in? Have you been deployed before?...tell you what - just e-mail and I'll go over it with you sofgrant@hotmail.com

I am an Army brat. My dad is now a retired Lt Col. I've been to Ft. Meade in Maryland, El Toro in California, Keflavik in Iceland, Ramstein in Germany (which I am now at stationed in the Air Force), Mildenhall in England, and Ft. Lewis in Washington. I'm glad that your dad is coming home to you soon. Hope he enjoys his short break from the desert. God bless!

Hey Congratulations. I myself leave for USAF BMT August 1st, 2006. I will be seeing you a week later I guess. I have done a whole lot of research on the Air Force, and lifestyles and such. It seems to be an awesome program to go into, as long as yyou don't mind always being under other people's command, but you will get that with any branch. You made a smart decision, but remember, the USAF is not right for everyone, you will determine that maybe within your first year to year and a half. I am also DEP commander for my unit in Eastpointe, MI. If you need to know ANYTHING about the Air Force, contact me, and I guarantee I will get you an honest answer. Til then, I'll probably see your Rainbow Flight at Lackland when you get there.

AF Basic has been extended from 6 weeks to 8 or 9. It is only at Lackland AFB in Texas.
