Lessons learned at FLETC

[chewy]

We didn't get anything when I went through... well, one guy in my class made everyone cry and run out of the room but I think that was all the eggs he at the night before at the bar! :D

Plus, advanced students can drive on campus and parking in student parking during training hours. What a relief to not have to walk, bike or ride the bus everywhere. And if you want to go off campus to get lunch, you're an adult, do it (so long as you're back for class). It's almost like being somewhere other than FLETC! :D

Lucky bleep. I went there last year for a three day advanced class and got stuck in building 275. Then I went to FLETC a month later for another class that was supposed to be an advanced class but my agency stuck basic in the title so FLETC would give it priority and I was in the Taj but we weren't allowed to drive to class. There were lots of basic students in the Taj as well.

I've also heard from reliable sources (instructors) that FLETC is starting to double bunk in the Taj (and possibly some of the other dorms) because of all the students. That and having to eat FLETC chicken usually eliminated any complaints from my students about having to stay in a hotel 25-30 minutes from the Advanced Training Center in Harpers Ferry when I taught there earlier this year. A full per diem didn't hurt either. Still, some found a way to complain. One guy was upset he only got a queen bed while others in his class got king sized beds.

MY first FLETC academy in Artesia, NM, yes its in the desert. We got gassed on a monday, snot, tears, gaggin, and OC'd on a thursday, tears, snot, which wasnt too bad i thought.

Then my second FLETC, just OC'd. Now Ive been OC'd many times at my last dept. but that stuff they used there at Glynco, F'n hurt.

I stayed in Bldg 96, by the pool. Some good digs I thought. Had a good time there, cougar hunting on the Isle of Jekell.
