In this video, I reflect on my time at Air Force Basic Training and reveal the essential items I missed having and the ones that proved to be invaluable throughout the process. Whether you're a future Airman or simply curious about the realities of military training, this video will provide you with valuable tips and suggestions.
Remember, being well-prepared can make all the difference in the world when it comes to thriving in Basic Training. Get ready to equip yourself for success by learning from my experiences!

Wash your reusable bottles with some soap and baking soda. Baking soda will take out the smell/taste and get it cleaner.

I’m a guy, but your videos are still helpful and interesting. I’ve been listening to dozens of airmen talk about their experiences to get a picture of what things will be like, what’s changed, and what to bring. Thanks for the heads up.

Do you think you can talk about how air force medals work, how to get them, and the things that people put on the medals and ribbons. Seems like no one ever makes videos about it.

@johnanderson8046 5 ай бұрын

You don't "apply" for medals or ribbons. You earn them - some for outstanding duty performance and some for accomplishing certain actions or deployments. Not sure what you mean by "things that people put on the medals."

Question: When going to the BX do we take cash or a credit card or is it deducted from your pay? How much money should we take to Basic training or do we need any? Thank you!

Hey I have a question, I have dreads and they’re too long to keep down but too short to put into a pony tail. Would I have to cut them?

@robxoxo 11 ай бұрын

the main thing holding me back from enlisting is my dog. i know he obviously cant be at BMT with me, but what about after when i go to tech school? im with him 24/7 right now, he comes to work with me every day, so it will be VERY hard to be without him

@Shaun_J 7 ай бұрын

That’s gonna be a hard decision, I honestly know how u feel. I went from taking my dog on walks everyday to only seeing him in person twice a year ): I got pictures of him in my room, makes the saddens goes away

You won't be able to have a pet at BMT or tech school - nor in barracks/dorms anywhere.

sorry if im talkin too much but how long is it until you can go to the BX and also do you know if it is easy to get blisters with a big shoe size as well

You get to go to the BX within the first few days of getting to BMT to get some essentials. Also, new boots are known to cause blisters even with bigger shoe sizes.

Do you know how long it usually takes to hear back after submiting the public affairs audition? My recruiter sent mine 3 weeks ago and I haven’t heard anything.

I would follow up because 3 weeks seems like a long time to hear nothing but then again, the government works very slow lol.

I see marks on both sides of the bridge of your nose. As a former optician when I see those marks it's usually caused by the nose pads of glasses. I know a couple years ago you did a video wearing a pair of blue light blocking glasses. So those marks could be from your blue light glasses or you may have gotten prescription glasses since then. People, even time glasses wearers, will often take their glasses when filming due to reflections from a ring light. So is that what you have done?

@MikaylaRoseDaly 8 ай бұрын

I only wear glasses for the computer but those aren’t marks from glasses, they’re freckles :) the resolution on this video isn’t very crispy.

Off topic, I’m bisexual and I’ve primarily been with women. Would it be wise to release that kind of info in tech school? Not so much BMT because we won’t have time for that, but in tech school I’d like to release some stress with my fellow Airmen.
