Oh oh.. a brand new Lt. :)

Congrats!

Get ready, your next hump is ACSC. Do it in residence and it's worth a Masters degree, literally. Most folks I know took it by seminar or CD then put in for the school. But even by seminar it's worth credit hours on a Masters. That and ACOT, although they don't call it ACOT anymore, not sure what it is now.

ASBC comes before ACSC... I'll be at ECOT in a few weeks -- ACOT is still around!

Eric

Four hours?!? How slow DO you drive Bill? ;-)

Going 70-75 I can get from my house to Houston in 2.5 - 3 hours. Of course I guess it depends on what part of Houston you're talking about...

Eric did pass the time by typing:

oops, forgot about ASBC, as a civilian I could just go for ACSC.

Ah yes, ECOT, where you learn to make coffee. :) Don't worry, when your in ACOT you can look back on it and laugh.

I've been there twice times, 7 level for ground radio and ACOT. The place has changed a lot. Still has the best shrimp and seafood around though.

One important thing, although the chain o command has changed at beautiful Biloxi they are probably still very serious on DUI and have incentives for the gate guards to catch drunk drivers trying to get on base. If your ever in doubt get a taxi or buy a few coins from the First Shirt for free rides.

Same goes for seatbelts. Two days when I drove to ACOT they had Airmen stopping each car and checking for seatbelts. This was on base in the parking lot entrance!

The building where ECOT/ACOT goes on is directly South of the Generals office. So if you do depart a tad early it's safer to park on the south side.

Check the Grand and the Beau Rivage, last time I was there the military ate for free on every other Friday or some such. And the Beaux ran great specials in the sports bar. Downtown basically sucks. There is one mall west of base and not much east. If you like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it's probably still playing at the Silver Screen.

The rest they give you in the inbrief.

Actually, isn't that BCOT?

oh well,

have fun

Nope, got rid of BCOT and made a 6 week course called ECOT. Anyhow, I've been to Biloxi a few times myself (3 and 7 level programmer courses, etc). Interesting to say the least. I spent some time in the auto hobby shop my first trip there as my truck was having problems. Hopefully it's the same good guys working there... I'm going to slap in that 4" lift my first free weekend.

Can't figure out why they're sending a bunch of us priors to ECOT right away and a bunch of the non-priors are getting to wait until November or so to go. Guess they want to "de-program" us to make sure we don't do it how we think it should be done.

Congrats, LT, thanks for your service.
