Basic Traning

Hey, 
>I joined the Air Force in May of 2007, May 15th to be exact. The first few weeks at basic are kind of a blur. There was so much going on that i don't really remember anything until the first phone call home except for the first night we got there.  
>We left the Portland Airport in the afternoon of May 15th. There was 13 of us heading to Basic, i was the only girl. The first plane ride over there was good, we stopped in i think it was Denver, we got food and was on the plane headed to San Antonio Texas. I got so sick on the plane to Texas, i hate flying i had a headache and was so motion sick. Then we got off the plane and i didn't get a chance to call my mom and tell her that i was there(which i regret because we didn't get to call until our 2nd week) There was sooo much in processing to do(which is very common for the military as i know now) It wasnt even until 3am that we met one of our TI's and got to our dorms. I was so tired i didnt even have a chance to think about home. The next day is when we met our "team" of TI's but TSgt. Spriggs was the main man. He ran the show, the others were just there to help. 
>The overall experience of basic was good, It has been the best time i have had in the Air Force since i joined. I do miss it sometimes.

Wow, I have never heard anyone say basic training was the best time. Hope you get some good drugs to help with the flying or motion sickness thing, that is no fun at all. Keep blogging, I think you will enjoy it!
