I am scheduled for the Jan 09 WTC anyone else? Just thought I would set up a spot for those of us going at this time.

I have to check again. its the 9th or 19th.

I believe mine is the 9th, I'm scheduled to ship out the 31st of Dec, I had hoped for sooner but I'm just happy to get in and looking forward to the challenges ahead.

I was Scheduled for Aug, but had a lttile motorcycle accident in Feb. Still working out the kinks. I can run the two mile no prob and the set up to prob. The Pushups are a little Slow. Could only do three two montjs ago. Up to 25 now. so By Jan should be all good.

I'm still working on the running I've got my times down but just trying to get some extra cushion. Working on pushups never was real good at them but I am getting better should be no sweat. I don't want that to be a distraction when I get down there. I am prior AF 18 years ago. Going back in as e-3 52D.

Prior AF here as well. 12 years ago.
In the Army Reserves in Mesa,AZ 52D
Old Power Pro CE.

What was AIT like tell me everything you remember. I am a excited to go and a little nervous. Thanks. I to am 52d so very currious

I dont have to Attend AIT. I worked on Generators While I was AF Active Duty and AF reserves. MY AFSC crossed over to Army MOS.

I went through boot camp in Chicago, started Jan 9th of 02. This year, I went through WTC at WSMR starting Jun10th.

All I can say is cold is WAYYYYYY better than hot.

Zoniman way to go sounds like that was the smart way to go. 11113214, I hope so. I originaly went through basic in dec wasn't that bad but I was hoping for something a little bit warmer but no training camps in Hawai or the Virgin Islands yet. But hope springs eternal.

Yeah, that's a long wait. But you're right, at least you're all set and locked in. Better long wait than not knowing. Gives you a decent amount of time to get your APFT scores in shape and all that. I am hoping to sign my contract in a few weeks (still have to lose a few LB's)but my recruiter made it sound like I would be heading to WTC about 45 days after that. Maybe not? Maybe will be in with you guys?

Jerry, did you lose rank? And why are you leaving so late?

Left the AF as an E-3, due to force reduction and came back in as E-3. When I went to MEPS in Omaha the counselor Told me it was the earliest opening they had. Don't know how true that is I was shocked.

Jerry what kind of bonus did you get?

My bonus was 15,000. But from what I hear it can change from week to week.

Jerry, When did you sign your contract....how long ago??

I signed end of July, leave for WTC Jan 09

Still no one else for Jan 09 huh?

Do they tax the bonus before you get it or is it taxed when you file your income taxes?

I ship out on the 31st also, and start on the 9th
