    Been there done that!! No easy task for this young man. Basic Training in any branch of our Armed Forces is pretty tough. Congratulations Airman

    Congrats Amn Carrigan…. Hope you make the best of what could be a great career. A bit of advice from an old TSgt..
    1. Do what your told, when you are told to do it
    2. Do it the way you were told. If you have a better way to do it. Bring it up afterwards. It will makes things go alot better for you in the long run.
    3. Do not complain out loud(whine about doing chores) . It will be noticed.
    3. Be 15 Min. early to every appointment if possible.
    4. Volunteer for what seems like the stupid assignments. Because when the really cool one comes around, you have earned it and you will be rewarded.

    May God Bless You and keep you and your family safe..
