> [@funkylemons](#): > > and no… its 2 6 week periods… one each summer… or 1 10 week period… I know that. I said that. Did you not read my last post? Two 6 week periods = 12 weeks. I don’t care if you break it up into two summers. It’s still 12 weeks. I don’t think you fully understand what you are doing. And that isn’t good. Read the last post I made before this again. ---

hey i wish you the best of luck once i get my degree (hopefully may of 06) i am applying to OTS for the air force you should seriously consider the 1 10week course. that would be much easier than the split training. once you are in military mode it’s much easier to stay in it than to stop 1/2 way through training go back to civilain world then stop civilian world and go back to officer training. Thats a very difficult transition from having no previous military experience. I’m not trying to discourage you at all, i think its great what your trying to do. But just be prepared to be challenged more and farther than you ever have in your life. be prepared for your entire life (for the training period) to be completley in the control of other people, you will be told how to tie your boots, how to eat, how to iron uniforms etc… you will have very little to no control of your life till you finish. But once you finish and graduate it would be so worth it best of luck to you however you decide ---
