Introduction

[K20chad]

Good evening,

I am currently an active duty Marine stationed on Edwards AFB. I am on currently on my first term and will be putting in a package to go to A&S in roughly a year from now because I want to finish my PME, residents Sergeants Course and obtain one more qualification for my current line of work. I am here to seek knowledge from experienced individuals, ask questions, and get advice on training because the ten week workout guide I was provided does not seem like it is enough. I am in the process of being vetted and I am humbled to be afforded the opurtunity to be on this forum.

Respectfully,

Chad

Welcome.

So, since you're on an AF base as a Marine, how much of your pay do they deduct for the better accom0dations? AF people get extra pay to live in Army and Marine housing, so it only makes sense they'd charge you for living on an AFB. LMAO.

Hahaha! That is only a rumor. This is a joint base with all the services aboard. Believe it or not they pay you more because once you pin on E4 you are kicked out of the barracks and given BAH and BAS. It seems like the Air Force focuses more on the quality of life for their troops where as training is very limited. They have a nice gym, but the pool is small and have no sort of obstacle course. This base did not even have pull up bars outside, until we started a little fundraiser and put them in ourselves.
