u need to run 1.5 just to become a poole in marines

My son is at his fourth week in BMT and I was just wondering what does the green belt mean red yellow. Friendly new to all this. I found some of his pictures in the app and he is the only one wearing a green belt. Is this good or bad?

@@mariaaldana22 Just means hes a designated person during running, could be for traffic, pace, or whatever, hes doing just fine!

@@rrredrum187 someone’s mad they picked the wrong branch

And remember they need you just as much, if not more, than you need them. Their goal is to turn you into an Airman, not try to find a way of getting rid of you. Whenever you start to have doubts just remember all of the thousands and thousands of others who have made it through. And as long as you consider yourself at least average then you know you will make it no problem.

Haha hell yeah man go kill it

you need to post a video on youtube.

I’d love to hear about your experience. I’m 38 and beginning the process

You could have still enlisted if you got them removed before braces. After basic and bmt I believe you may get them out back on.

I'm about to turn 19 and am starting the process of joining the Air Force soon.

is it sarcasm or true?

there was one time though you got too volunteer at the supply shop and got unlimited water flavoring and could get protein bars but didnt know that was what it was

@@joaochristhiansen1442it’s not sarcasm usually sergeants will try to trick you into doing bitch work

NAVY= Never Again Volunteer Yourself 😂

what would you say the hardest part is? is there still like PT everyday? im working with my recruiter rn, just gotta take the practice test then the Picat and schedule for meps.. and wait cause there's delayed entry for space force

@@cheyenne2839 dude, same! How did you land space force?

What was your MOS?

@@cheyenne2839how’d it work out?

I’m a junior in highschool. I plan on enlisting once i graduate. Any overall tips for joining the air force or any tips for BMT?

What are the men pt standards to graduate?

@@user-ih6mh5wx5k Men are expected to be able to run 1.5 miles in less than 18:30 and have a 39-inch waist at maximum. Women are expected to run the same distance in 21:35 and have a 35.5-inch waist.

@@user-ih6mh5wx5kthey vary for age, if you google “usaf pt test requirements” it’ll give you a result a while down that’s a pdf, download that, and it gives specifics for gender and age. They’re really easy though, usually under 14 min 1.5 mile, 35 push ups in 1 min, and 45 sit ups in 1 min

@@beckganggMichael A. Inman He’s pretty good And do PICAT instead of the Asvab Btw I got a 89 on mine Do hella Asvab practice tests online it’ll help

Best of luck!

Currently going through the same thing, best of luck to you! We got this.

lmk what u score

Get a job you want don’t let the recruiter convince you into a job you don’t want, fuck the list, choose a job. Don’t be like me

im in the same process! except for space force

I leave on the 7th 😩

@@abgotswag if your leaving on the seventh you’ll be in the squadron I just graduated from the 321st you gonna be a warthog I was from Charlie stairwell in 3C1 the mtis are pretty cool but they have to kinda be mean and yell to get you to know how to do things in the first 2 weeks I just graduated and now I’m in tech school good luck in everything if I where you strive for honor grad it gets you a second day with your family off base it’s pretty easy to get it’s really not hard you’ll be okay it’ll suck for the first 3 weeks but it gets pretty chill you get phone calls the last day of zero week week 3 and 5 and 7 just don’t get in trouble or get comments or u’s learn from 341’s too you got it man it’s genuinely not that bad

@@abgotswag also reporting statements are “sargeant, say your last name reports as ordered”

@@zii7061 appreciate it gang I been watching a shit load of videos I’m ready man 🙏🏽🙏🏽

@@abgotswag also try and be a element leader or doem chief it’s a lot of responsibility but I really helps just actually try and you should be fine two months of trying and you’ll be good

I’m going to meps Wednesday too lol

Make sure you take something to read, etc. Tons of "hurry up and wait". Also, make sure you get a good night's sleep. You want to be alert and rested as much as possible when taking any written tests they may give you. Even if you have already taken your ASVAB they might still have an additional test or two based on what career they are considering you for. Those tests scores are a huge part of your resume and if you are trying to get into a small career field then you might be competing against several people for the same position. Heck, near the end of basic when they officially announced our fields there were a few of us that got into career fields where there was only 1 person from our graduating class that got into.

@@101perspective got too my tech school Friday for fireprotection 🤙🏽

@@arcticfalls4181 Congrats! Make sure you study hard. I visited the fire department on base dozens of times. You could tell everyone had a sense of purpose and took their job seriously. Lots of expensive and complicated/dangerous equipment you will be working with. And you will be protecting a lot of VERY expensive and complicated equipment. So, there will be lots to learn. It may even seem overwhelming at first. Just remember their goal is to train you, not flunk you. And they have perfected their training methods. If you put in the work you stand a good chance of passing. However, they will recycle you or kick you to a different field completely if you just don't have the aptitude for the job. So if you are having troubles with something don't hesitate to ask others for help. Maybe even set up a small study group if they let you. On a side note, you will probably be training along side other military branches. I encourage you to get to know a few of them. They are new to the military also but they can still give you some insight into those branches. Their daily routines, how they are treated, etc. Nothing you have to know. Just something you might be glad later you did. Down the road you might get deployed with other military branch members. I once even got assigned to a deployed location where I reported to an Army officer and everyone else in my office was Army. Those from other branches in your text school won't fully prepare you for such a situation but you at least will have a gist of how different it can be. Especially discipline wise. I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about this, etc. Maybe just eat lunch with them or something from time to time if that is an option. And never forget, when your warning lights begin to melt, it's a sign you're parked too close to the fire.

@@arcticfalls4181how was your experience at BMT?

so did mine! i cant wait till august 3rd! sending you love and support!

What if you're one of the older ones?😅 Im 35 looking to enlist soon

Glad it was helpful!

@@jameskarelton I hope air force basic is easy

@@vaf5636 he said in the beginning of his video that basic is only as hard as you make it, so it all depends on you and how you want your experience to be

My son starts BMT in July also! Lackland AFB.

@@judymowatt3904 Our youngest son also starts BMT in July at Lackland.

I am talking to a recruiter right now. I am 30 years old and have the exact same worries. Good luck brother, I am sure you will do just fine...Seems we aren't the only ones.

@@acekhmer 2A5X4 Refuel/Bomber Maintenance. I’m on the KC-135 and it’s honestly great. I’m not a big fan of the base but the job is fun

Seriously though lol. I played football with a woman who was a marine and I swear her favorite thing to growl scream prior to the ball snap was “KIIILLLLL!” 😂. She is definitely a marine through and and through!

What score do you need on the asvab for the good jobs that you listed?

i am march 7 too

@@komea12 see you there !

@@h8hayden yeah hopefully everything good and we get disneyland

@@komea12 we’ll see brother!

I’m shipping March 7 too!

Same here, April of 1989. 3708 BMTS. Went to Lowry AFB for Services tech school. Pretty easy times until 2006 when I got orders for a whole year in Afghanistan with the Army on a FOB.

Quite the mess we have now .....USAF '69-'73. God Help us all!!!

Me with a July ship date 😅

Best wishes.

how long after MEPS did you get your ship out date and what’s your rate

@@jayway8427 I actually booked my job and got my ship out date at MEPS! If you know what you want to do and know what you qualify for it’s possible. Your ship out date is either based on your job or when you feel comfortable leaving.

@@Mary-ov1mp niceee good to know, thanks!

@@jayway8427 depends on Active Duty Guard or Reserve. as a Reservist i did MEPS and enlisted in MAR 2021 and shipped to BMT MAY 2022. Active Duty does MEPS and ships same day.

might see you at basic mary! take it easy! :D
