Two months in Air Force Basic Training, and now I'm 2 weeks into technical school here at Shepard, Air Force Base, Texas. It's been a loooong, hard road getting to this point, and it took blood, sweat and tears to get through Basic. I won't get into the grueling days of Basic training, but in a nutshell, I worked roughly 18 hours per day, 7 days a week, without a single day off. I recieved about 4 hours of sleep per night, 5 if I was lucky. I went through quite a bit of combat training, which was hard as hell but a lot of fun. At one point I remember crawling up a hill of sand in 95 degree weather, wearing my battle gear and carrying my M-16
