"THE WORD" at tbs right now about API

The six to a room doesn't count because you had sleep side/study side. I know it had to blow having six to a shower after something like the E-course, but it still nets out at three to a room.

Were you in Obannon? I had four in my room (two rooms) in Obannon and it was cramped. I don't see how it would even be possible to fit six in the same space because there wouldn't be enough space for furniture. We didn't have any more room for desks, not to mention another bunk.

Oh u better believe it, we were rockin 6 studs to a room (Sleep side/Study side). When we ran out of desks, we started turning dressers into workspaces. Did I mention no hot water for what was called the worst winter in TBS history?

Negative. I've been in the other barracks, don't currently remember the name, but there was quite a bit more room for three people in there than there was for the six in the day/night rooms of O'Bannon. And like Reconjoe mentioned, two of our dudes had to use dressers as desks. And there was little room to do anything besides shave in the night room save for shaving/brushing your teeth due to the six racks.

Most of TBS sucked, and I'm not denying it sucked for you as well - It just sucked a little worse for those in O'Bannon rolling six deep.

Man, you guys should have just done the distance education version of TBS via Marinenet classes like I did...so much more comfortable.

It's worth it. Obannon hall is the worst part of TBS

Not even, I would lick the black mold on the walls in OBannon if I could have had a different SPC.... I think I still have a backlog of RTCs to hand in....

Word on the street is that one lucky Lt might get to work for a certain CG answering phones for a month...while I'm on convalescent leave. I did hear a General say that a senior General expressed that there are 300 too many SNA's in a holding pattern and that he'd like to redesignate at least half of them. No idea if the number was including pre-TBS Lt's. Then again, no idea if he was serious. Because I like my job, maybe this is hearsay...

We had MAGTF night last week and there were three Majors that briefed us. I don't recall everything that was said, but my 2 other air contract room mates heard that the 40 got cut down to 20, and those 20 are going to be the lowest 20 lineal standing wise. This is for C Co.

And those 6 month TADs are getting cut to like 2-4... That slide has got to be worst case scenario.

 

[HueyCobra8151]

Too bad it looks like no more IOC opportunities. Those guys in the company that did that got hooked up big time.

 

[VF101GR]

For 2ndLt's PCS to MATSG-21, have they completed IFS with the Quantico Flying Club? Complete @ P-Cola? Or just receive stash jobs while waiting for IFS-API?

 

[sanders]

Last I heard, IFS is no more. Maybe that will change with the new fiscal year coming up. But I'm not too hopeful.

 

[VF101GR]

As in, no longer part of training syllabus? Or just for this fiscal year?

 

[Swanee]

They said that last year.... Yet we still went...

 

[Captain Hotrod]

That slide was from a Delta company MOS brief about a month ago. We all know how fast things change, it looks like the wait may be cut down. So yes I would take that PPT as a worst case scenario.
