Glad to hear you're not a Trainee anymore. My DIs at Fort Polk could call someone a Trainee in such an insulting manner! Have a good time in Goodfellow and San Angelo. I've never been there so I don't know if it's as bad as I heard. Those complaints came from Air Force guys. Who knows, compared to Fort Jackson, Goodfellow may be a pretty nice place.

You'll probably find the barracks (I refuse to call them dorms) better than what you're used to. The Air Force tends to take care of its own. My son is a Navy Surgical Tech instructor in San Diego. He gets some Air Force students in his classes. The Air Force considers the Navy billets as substandard so the students are housed off base. A few weeks ago, an Air Force general made a no-notice visit to see if the barracks were as bad as he'd heard. It put my son in a tight spot (he couldn't very well tell the general to take a hike but the barracks chiefs didn't like no-notice inspections, either).
