- Tech School isn't all that hard, even with me not having much knowledge of computers I didn't think it was overly difficult. You will definitely have to study to pass the tests, but it's not impossibly hard. If you study, you'll do fine. If you have problems, the instructors will help you. I don't know of anyone who failed out of the course. The tech school will teach you just the basics, the real learning comes when you get to your first duty station.
Did I enjoy myself?? 100%. The Air Force is a great experience and I'd do it all over again. Basic training isn't the funnest thing in the world, but you'll find yourself looking back on it and laughing. You'll meet lots of people and make great friends and definitely do things that most people never will, even things outside your job. (For example: I've done guard duty on the flight line as President Clinton landed and walked off AF 1 30 yards from me, toured the Air Force One hangar, met Weird Al and had my picture taken with Dan Ackroyd, all things I wouldn't have done had I not joined the AF). The Air Force was one of the greatest things I've ever done!
