I am leaving for Air Force Basic Training this January. I am well informed on what not to bring to BMT as well as what to bring. What should (and what are they allowed to bring)my parents bring to me after basic (as in when they come to watch the graduation ceremony and visit those last day(s) before I leave for Technical School)? Thanks for any helpful responses!

Tiffany asked:

I am wanting to go back to school but I am just wanting to go to a Technical school, get trained and get out! I don’t have the patience for a four year university, so my question is, what kind of classes are offered at a Technical school? I would just like to know what my options are, I don’t have an idea of want I want to do, so any help would be much appreciated! Please and Thank You in advance!
It isn’t schools themselves that I need to know, it is the classes offered by techical school. What kind of degree or trade can I get from a Technical school.

lost??? asked:

I’m 18 and will be going to basic in 2 weeks. I have joined JROTC in highschool for atleast 3 years and will be promoted to Airman First Class right after boot camp. I heard about Joining AFROTC so that after four years you instantly become a second lieutenant. I don’t think i can exactly do that seeing that i’ll be heading to Basic soon. Are there any other possible ways i could become a commissioned officer. I do plan to take college courses once i get done with my Technical School Training. Does that help??

Any info on the matter would be greatly appreciated…..

Lesson Plan: Scarcity, Choice, and Decisions

Last year, Jim Cornelius (Corny to his friends) graduated from a two-year technical training school and got a job as a lathe operator at a nearby manufacturing plant. His salary is now $1,700 per month. He expects to get very small wage increases during the next year or two, but he hopes to be promoted to line inspector in about three years, which will increase his salary by $200 a month.

Corny is sharing an apartment with a high school friend who also works at the plant. They are each spending $365 a month for a two-bedroom apartment and utilities, including local telephone service and cable TV. Corny would like to live alone in a one-bedroom apartment, but he figures that would cost about $560 a month (including utilities).

Corny has a two-year-old compact car on which he owes about $3,000. His monthly car payment is $190. He wants to buy a new car as soon as the one he has now is paid for, and he expects his car payments will be quite a bit higher.

Corny loves to listen to music, and his stereo system is a few years old. He wants to buy a new one. He has saved $300 over the past three months, but he figures that the system he wants will cost a least $1,000. He has good credit, and his credit card has a zero balance. He could charge up to $1,500, but he hates to add to his monthly payments.

Look at Corny’s monthly budget in the table below. What changes do you think he should make in his monthly spending? If you were earning Corny’s salary of $1,700 per month, how would you divide it up among these categories or for other things you want?

I can’t believe that in a city the size of NY there are only two I can find, one in Brooklyn and one in the Bronx, both of which have schedules that would not allow me to hold down a job, as their programs last from 9am to 5pm, five days a week!!

I want to do one of those programs that prepare you for the CompTIA A+ and/or other similar certifications. I was wondering if anyone knew how much they charge and how long the “semester” lasts?
