Honestly, Just the books what they give you. First two courses weed the most people out, they are electrical and electronic theory. Everything else is equipment troubleshooting, and no online recourse really helped me. Good Luck!

So the hardest stuff is something that can be studied before attending.

PN junctions, Transistors, current flow, and schematics are key to understand. This is a picture of what goes on in side of an IC chip, you won't use it in any course outside of course 2 ( but God forbid that you don't study these).

VR and Good luck

What makes it hard is the pace, just when I understood a concept they gave a new one. 18 days, 21 subjects if I remember correctly.

SPC (Join to see) - It's complicated for me. I need to put in a Conditional Release request. If that's approved, I have 180 days to be in the Army. If, in those 180 days a slot doesn't open up for 68A, I will be put into whatever MOS is available. It's safer to stay AF side and just put in a retraining request. But we'll see if they allow it.

Read up on electrical theory. I wouldn't go past that. The school house will teach you everything you need to know. But if you go in there with a good understanding of electricity principles you will be ahead of the game. There are a lot of good videos on youtube as well. Good luck.
