I was wondering what kind of freedom you get while in tech school?
I was lucky - I finished MEPs up in Jan. and was a quick ship in May... otherwise i would've been waiting a lot longer... what job do you want?

Tech school is great. At keesler we have two phases Initial and Advanced. Just a buffer from coming straight out of BMT - which is good so you don't go buck wild.

Advanced, which is what I am in now. You have a 10pm curfew on the weekdays. (I get up at 0345 for PT so it's not a bad thing). On the weekends there is no curfew. I've come in at 630am before.

Every other Friday you have off.

You can have a car.

You can do pretty much everything after ITP - which is only 2 weeks anyway (that depends on your squadron and your job).

ITP (the initial phase) you have to be in uniform outside of the squadron, you can't leave base, and on the weekends you have a midnight curfew you have to wake up for. It's not bad at all.
