I still regret ditching the AF while in basic but oh well. I have been considering joining another branch because I still have not found a job here. I hope the people at your MEPS are more competent then mine were. My group ended up missing our first plane flight, instead of landing in San Antonio at around 6 in the evening, we didn't get there till about 11 at night. 2 hours of sleep the first night there just completely fucked me over. | ||

I guess the stuff you end up doing can be life-and-death, so they have to -seriously- make sure you have the aptitude for it | ||

Did they like fill you in on what you were in for going into this test? Like naturally it'd be pretty hard to prepare, but was any of it really a surprise, or did you have to/need to prepare in any way? I find language stuff pretty cool | ||

You have to worry about that stuff in Japanese and Korean. In Japanese its の (no) and in Korean its 의 (ui). example: [The] boy's teacher 아들의 선생님 ( adeul-ui seonsaengnim ) おとこのせんせい (otoko no sensei) (maybe there's other words for boy that are more appropriate in those languages than the ones I used, but I just wrote that off the top of my head so GET OFF ME rekrul and mani) | ||

Never learned any of them from a book naturally. It was funny cause when most people are like MAN that was hard you usually go oh well that's really not that hard, but i can see how it would be soooo easy to make that hard, and fucking listening to it too? jesus christ what a nightmare Did they like fill you in on what you were in for going into this test? Like naturally it'd be pretty hard to prepare, but was any of it really a surprise, or did you have to/need to prepare in any way? I find language stuff pretty cool i had an idea about some of it because i did some research online but u couldn't really prepare much and yeah, im serious when i tell rkff that speaking 11 languages is impressive, but he is severely underestimating how difficult it is when u can only listen to the answers, and only listen once. especially part 4 of section 3, u really have to be like good will hunting lvl genius to do well at that | ||

The Air Force doesn't really give us much time to do stuff on our own, sadly. They understand that family and recreation are important, but in the end, the military mindframe has, and always will be, service before self. | ||
