    I need to know what procedure and processes you did to make the shot @ 2:05. Absolutely amazing video!

      @MerrickVisuals  7 років тому +1

      Thank you! It's called a Hyperlapse, basically a time lapse but you move and take a picture of a single point on an object, there's a lot of tutorials on UA-cam!

    Great video - it brings back a lot of memories of the summer of 2001 when I was in Tech School there.

      @mav3ric100 7 років тому +1

      Hey Gavin, why did you get put into RF trans? was it because of the asvab score or do they forcibly put you into whatever afsc they wanted?

    • @MerrickVisuals
      @MerrickVisuals  7 років тому +1

      Since I went in Open Electronics, you basically get a list of choices of jobs that you want and they have a little booklet with descriptions. You then pick from a list of jobs the Air Force currently needs and number them from 1 to 12 based on which one you want most. RF Trans was my number 3 behind Client Systems 3D1X1, and Cyber Transport Systems 3D1X2. I got my 3rd choice and I'm loving it everyday.

    • @MerrickVisuals
      @MerrickVisuals  7 років тому +1

      It's roughly 6 months long but you'll likely be there longer. I was there for 7 total. Just study lightly, don't get too comfortable, save money, go off base and enjoy Biloxi once in awhile. A lot of people fail out of the course oddly enough, just put in the effort and you'll do fine. Also you'll be in the 338th TRS you'll have some awesome MTLs there who will help you out in anyway you may need. Any more information don't hesitate to message me!

    quick question, were you allowed to film at keesler? Just asking because Im thinking of doing the same

    • @MerrickVisuals
      @MerrickVisuals  5 років тому

      Yes! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Unless the MTLs made any new rules, you're perfectly allowed to do this as long as you don't film the flightline. I got approached by ropes all the time but I had the MTLs and the AFI on my side :)

      I'm usually good at academics if I put my mind to it. I studied for my asvab all by myself (made a schedule and stuck to it) sacrificed hanging out with friends and video games for about 2 months. Took it made an afqt of 68 with an electronic score of 81!! So yeah I can put in the grind just have to find the right mindset first and realize how bad I want it :)
