UoI posted:I have a question about my A-school; it's in Pensacola, Florida for ABE. What will my living conditions be? Will I be staying in a barracks with dozens of other people or will I have a dorm type thing or can I stay with a friend? You will be in a ~2+1 person dorm room with a shared bathroom. You will also be in Alpha. Also the barracks have wifi and you can have laptops. (Sure as gently caress had mine)

It's the name of the first barracks, home to prospective undesignated airmen and boat/non squadron(?) aviation rates.quote:School shift I think. I'm alpha shift so I have to be at march off at 0615 and our day ends at 1500. Bravo marches off at 1515 and ends at 2400. In the fleet we just call it days and nights.

Pandasmores posted:This is going to sounds like a retarded question, but don't you guys have plugs on the ships? Unless you're buying lovely batteries/draining them too much I don't see how you'd need a couple spares. Answer may vary. My berthing probably had about four working plugs and boat LSs (they actually owned the space) stealing properly tagged power strips but not bothering to actually fix all the broken poo poo.

All the lifeboats on a carrier are on the flightdeck catwalks... And even if you have a float coat on you stand a pretty good chance of freezing to death before the helo gets airborne to find you.

Applewhite posted:Heard bad things about Sasebo as well. Probably better than Iwakuni though, at least for as long as it's a MCAS. That said I wouldn't personally pick Yokosuka (Because it's full of boat people) but it's on Tokyo's doorstep also Atsugi's chill. I heard there's some other tiny dump in near Atusgi that can't possibly be too bad. I haven't heard anything bad about Misawa...other than SNOW. That's all I know.
