I'm about to join the USAF.  Would I be able to keep my t-moblie and yahoo account?

Yes, you will be able to keep both. I had both a Yahoo e-mail account and a T-Mobile cell phone account while in the military. Nothing happened to my Yahoo account while I was in boot camp (other than getting a lot of e-mails to clear out!) and as for my cell phone, there are many companies (I don't know about T-Mobile) who will, as a previous commenter said, suspend your account while you're in basic training. You will NOT have access to that phone while you're in basic training and the companies know that. \n\nYou can hold any account you want while in the military; many companies will even give you better rates because they know that they are guaranteed to get their money--if you don't pay, the military will force you to. \n\nThey will not watch your activity, even if you have a job that has a top secret security clearance.\n\nIf you need any more information, please feel free to contact me.

During basic training you are allowed certain privileges after about 2 weeks. Up until that time as the saying goes you and your ass belong to me. Well that is the drill Sgt in your first couple of weeks no matter what day it is.  \n\nAfter your first couple of weeks you will have access to a telephone near where you are after your training day has ended.\n\nI hope that this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

I was in the USAF and can tell you that while you are at Basic Training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, you will only get to talk to your parents/siblings/friends on the phone about 2-3 times total. Every minute of every day you will be told what to do and how to do it. USAF Basic Military Training School is 6 weeks. How long your Technical school lasts will depend on your job.\n \nHowever, you can get mail everyday from anyone and have the time to read it. You don't realize how important this is until you are there. Encourage friends and family to write you something, anything, once a day and put it in the mailbox. \n\n  DO NOT have them send you a postcard, unless you want it read outloud to everyone in your Flight. \n\nTechnical School is vastly different than Basic Training, its much more relaxed. I don't know if they use the "Phase" system anymore, but even if they do, you will still have some time every day to yourself, and now you will have most of the weekend to yourself, too, so you can just about talk to whoever you want to back home whenever you want to.\n\nWhen do you leave for BMTS? I hope for your sake that your job is gaurenteed. \n\nIt's been over 10 years since I went through BMTS, but I wouldn't think that too much has changed.

Not much contact during basic. Lots of letters though. There MAY be a SHORT break before AIT, but no promises. However, he'll have much more time to call you during that process. Nothing to worry about though. I certainly wouldn't let the kind of time we're talking about stop him from enlisting. \n\nThe benefits vary by state, but our here in Texas are pretty good (looking at getting back in that route myself). Great tuition reimbursement programs & such. Do some research. He'll either end up loving it or not.

not at all-if you have merged your yahoo.com email add with your sbcglobal.net email address once acct will be fully deactivated you will get a trap page that will allow you to close sbcglobal.net and keep your old yahoo.com email address-all saved emails and contacts should be transferred to same yahoo.com email address. your contacts will still be able to reach you with yahoo.com but not with sbcglobal.net address. and if you have not combined it-that should stay as is...

You can do that, but if you want financial security I would recommend getting into the IT Rating as they get paid up to $3,000 extra a month AIP and rake in up to $40,000 re-enlistment bonuses, plus they are in high demand in the civilian sector after all the training they get in the Navy!\n\nSo if you gut out the IT Rating and save and invest all this money in  a few years you can get out with financial security and do what ever you want (i.e. jet engine mechanic, etc...) and I forgot to mention with the GI Bill/College Fund you could have almost $60,000 dollars for College to boot!

your yahoo account will be unmerged from your sbc account, you will no longer have premium services nor have the email address with "@sbcglobal.net" instead you will have your regular ID and your email will be with "@yahoo.com" now, all of your emails will be saved, and your settings too. make sure you update your email addresses in stuff like mailing lists and stuff so that you wont miss any emails ;)

If yes, what's your current address, phone number, and place employment?................  There's gotta be a law against military desertion. Otherwise, before any conflict there'd be a rush of servicemen leaving. Flipping a burger/pushing paper's different than being shot at.

well.. if yahoo doesn't permit you to transfer the files, then i guess there is no way you could do it.\n\nProbably, my guess is that when you finally install verizon, yahoo asks if you want any exisiting yahoo id to be upgraded or associated with the verizon account, try to give your sbc account there and see what happens.

If you already have AOL you can get an address but don't pay anything for one.   Don't lose your Yahoo address.  Sometimes its good to separate parts of ur life and give different people different addresses.  You will probably have your yahoo address longer than an AOL address so giving people you may later want to lose an AOL address may make sense.

no dont desert..it WILL ruin your life.  If you reenlisted 5 years ago you shouldnt have much left on your current contract...just stick it out and then ETS.

i am here now and i would suggest...lotion, your an extra unit patch for when you hit your mark youll look squared away cuz youll have yours, lots of white socks,extra shower shoes,yours will surely break after the first few months, you will have hot water...atleast 99% of the FOBs do now. Just to put it this way...your trip from the states to actual iraq will be a hurry and wait thing...youll be in kuwait for a good minute, not to mention going to other camps until you actually get to yours. Bring ear plugs( its part of your IBAS but bring an extra pair) make sure you have a flashlight for the power occasionally goes out. When you get over here you might have a chance to buy a phone like i did. Dont bother bringing phone cards because most of the places here require certain ones. DEET...yes bring some deet..flys out here are CRAZY. My room has a fridge,microwave, and tv but me and my roomy had to buy them, once you get settled in youll want to buy those things ...bring a power adapter and a power converter...if you have a playstation or things like that youll need to convert them from 220 - 110. I actually sent my DCU's home just because i dont wear them here...or the dark brown t-shirts. The laundry here usually takes 3 days turnaround..it sucks not to be able to do it on your own but you have to adjust right?Bring every pair of eye pro they have issued you because you WILL LOSE a pair or two. Body wash definatley makes life a little easier. 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner helps also. Make sure that in your pack..you pack all of your electronic gear and things youll need in a hurry ...eye pro..underware...so and and so forth..since youll be in kuwait a while you dont want to have to search through you A, B , and C bag for everything you need....Also if you can pack everything in zip lock baggies...it takes the air out and you can fit things more effectively in your duffle. you wont know your addy until about 4 weeks in. so make sure your family knows so. USO will give you gift bags while your at the air field with playing cards, beef jerkey, shit like that...and you have to take it so keep in mind that you will be gettting more things even when your bags are already full. There are also certain sizes that your carry on bag has to be so make sure that you dont pack it too full....good luck with your travel...its a long ride so get as much sleep as you can...i think youll be making a stop in ireland...get a smoke break and stretch out take a pee in an actuall latrine.....just be patient when you leave because itll be a long wait.....good luck!!! anymore questions contact me!!
