Okungenjalo, uzokwenza indlela eya e-Lackland nase Air Force Basic Military Training (AFBMT) ngokushayela ezentengiselwano eSan Antonio. Ungase uhambe ngezinyawo, noma ungase uyingxenye yeqembu elihamba ndawonye kusuka ku- Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) yangakini. (Bheka isihloko esilandelayo, I-Second MEPS Experience ).

Uma usufika eSikhumulweni sezindiza saseSan Antonio, kufanele uthathe isikhwama sakho, bese wenza indlela yakho eya ku "A" Terminal bese ubika esiteshini sokuthola amandla e-Air Force.

Ngokokuqala ngqa, uzohlangana namanye ama-TIs azothatha ikhophi yemiyalo yakho futhi akuqondise endaweni yokulinda. Uzoqaphela ukuthi la ma-TI angabantu abalungile, futhi uzozicabangela wena, "Wow! Lokhu akukubi kakhulu." Mane ulinde ...... awukho ebhasini, okwamanje. Ukufaka isiyalo akuyona indaba yokuboniswa komphakathi, ngakho-ke isibonisi sangempela asiqali kuze kube yilapho ususuka esikhumulweni sezindiza. Kuye ngokuthi ufika nini, ungase ulinde isikhathi eside ukuze ibhasi lakho lihambe. Zisebenzise isikhathi, uphumule. Kuzoba yisikhathi sakho sokugcina "isikhathi sokuphumula" okwesikhashana. Thatha ithuba lokuxoxa nabanye abalindile. Kukhona ithuba elihle kakhulu lokuthi labo abafika ngesikhathi esifanayo bazoba yizivakashi zomshayeli.

Ngokushesha ama-TIs azokwehlukanisa (lokhu kuzoba ukwakheka kwakho kokuqala!) Futhi ukukhishwe ebhasini. Ukuhamba ukuya eLackland AFB kuthatha cishe ihora. Uzozizwa uhle kakhulu, ngoba ngenkathi ama-TI ebhasini (uma ikhona) angabonakali "njengomusa" njengalabo ohlangana nabo esikhumulweni sezindiza, cishe ngeke kube khona ukukhala okuphawulekayo .... .

okwamanje.

Ibhasi liyokuletha ngqo kwisikhungo sosizo, lapho uzophendulela khona amarekhodi akho futhi wenze okuncane kokuqala kokucubungula. Ngemuva kwalokho, ibhasi lizokuholela ngqo "emibhoshini" yakho. Ungakhathazeki uma kwenzeka ukhohlwa ngephutha bese uyibiza ngokuthi "amasosha." I-TI yakho izojabula ukukukhumbuza ukuthi i-Air Force ayinayo "iminyango." Ngaphezu kokujabula ukukukhumbuza, empeleni.
