Tim Medeiros leaving for BMT

[spaatzmom]

Graduation week is upon us and Tim is really excited to start tech school next week at Keesler AFB.  Thanks to all who sent him words of encouragement, they made the last few weeks go by quickly.

Congratulations to your son.  What will his specialty be?

Congratulations to your son.  What will his specialty be?

Tech School at Keesler implies Communications of some sort.  Unless he got into one of the more obscure ones like "weather."

If I remember correctly, he was going for an IT specialty.

I spent a month at Keesler, one week.

Thank you.  He is as of Friday an Airman First Class.  His tech school is Cyber Ops Security last I knew.

[coudano]

Probably 3D0X3 Cyber Surety

Awesome! The major battles of the century will be fought in the cyber domain - it's an area where we are facing a major uphill fight.

Only a month!  Time was flying for you!

True, I spent 5 months there one week...

When I was at Keesler in 1975, there were 20,000 students there. We had Pass In Reviews Early Morning, Mid Afternoon, and Late Afternoons. I remember the Junior Officers being stuck with the review stand early in the morning (it was still dark). The Schools operated in shifts mornings and afternoons. Worn Boot heels. Almost a Goose step but not quite.

It was a fun time! I was in 86 Training Squadron. My reporting day we had a Beer Call in the Courtyard!

I wonder what the number of students on Keesler is now?

Almost got married to a cute WAF.

If thats true hes a red wolve, I'm sorry, because its technically a fox not a wolf so their squadron mascot is misleading! On a side note I thought the triangle fox was a myth but I actually ran into the fox last weekend on my way to karaoke Fridays. And don't let him tell you theres nothing to do at Keesler! There are plenty legal ways from airman to have fun!

Ok, I have no idea what you are trying to say.  He arrived there yesterday and has yet to scope out the base.

My bad, if hes Cyber Ops Security I believe he'll be in the 336th TRS whos mascot is a Red Wolf, all the squadrons have friendly rivalries.

[coudano]

Red Wolves is the mascot of the 336 training squadron (the squadron he is most probably in)
Each squadron has a mascot (yes, fuzzy costume and all)(eh), and a group cheer (eh)


He will be relatively restricted in phase 1 for a few weeks,
it's *a lot* laxer than basic training but it's still fairly restricted.
Then he will slowly get more privileges until he graduates.

[Al Sayre]

We've got a great Squadron at Keesler, I'm sure they can find ways to help keep him out of trouble...  If he's doing Cyber Ops Security, he can help them with their Cyber Patriot Team, and they can show him all the good local places to go.  Shoot me a PM and I'll get you the SQ/CC's contact info.  I already told him to keep an eye out for him...

[spaatzmom]

I just talked to Tim and yes he is in the 336th TRS.  I have his address if anyone wants it.  I appreciate all the support we both have received from board members here, it means a lot.

He will be looking forward to hearing from Mr. Sayre re the squadron there.

Yes, please do...  PM if you like.
