So if you have a child and want to join then what

TIP: deposit the “food voucher” (really a check) into your bank account through your app. And just buy what you want to eat with you’re card and pocket the difference.

Quick advice to anyone about to ship. Do not give up. The first 2-3 weeks are shit but, you will make it through. It’s a great experience and you will make friends.

This day in 1971 was my first day in Air Force boot camp.

For anyone watching this video thats about to go to BMT, try not to stress too much. It's not that hard, by the end I was sad to say goodbye to my flight and MTIs. Security Forces academy is way harder, it's a good kind of challenging

Shipping out in 1week March 25th! Wish me luck😊✊🏾

I know a young lady going thru BEAST week right know. She is going to kill it! Scored a 94 on her physical training test. GO TAYLOR!!

Can you put your eye brows at ease lol jk good video bro

Thank you so much for sharing! You did a great job of explaining and I loved listening to you. I'm so nervous for BMT!

This is the most elaborate first night at bmt video I’ve seen. Thank you! I had no Idea about some things you mentioned like the voucher or the room you wait in.

My son shipped out today. I am nervous for him 😐He was both nervous and excited.

I enjoyed watching this! Made me laugh and nice to hear they’re still doing some of the tactics like being nice on that bus! Make the most out of your time, travel and good luck!

Good job explaining it! I went through quite a few years ago and it doesn't sound like it has changed at all. It certainly was an adventure. My biggest Air Force mistake was getting out. So please, if you are still in, _stay in._ If you get out, you will regret it. The Air Force takes very good care of its people. Don't give that up. Take care and thanks for the video! It brought back some memories.

This video is crazy informational, really well structured and not a second off beat. It really helped me to consider my options, and as if that wasn’t enough, the jet at 19:29 pulling a sick rip making that sweet sweet howl made me solidify all the reasons I want to be a pilot.

I love how detailed this was 👏🏾👏🏾 you’re awesome!

THANK YOU so much for this! Awesome and thorough video 🙏🏾

i’m a senior in high school who graduates in literally 3 months and i’m HEAVILY considering the air force. i NEEDED this video. i get to talk to my recruiter soon.

My friend and I are gonna be in the air force when we're older. I'm so excited!

I’m at the airport right now leaving for Air Force BMT. Thanks for the info. I feel a little more comfortable prepared!

Thanks for this, makes me feel a bit better my brother just had his first day at Lackland.

This so accurate literally everything I remember!! Nicely done

I enlist sometime this year, just waiting for my medical documents to come! I graduate in 2020, I’m excited

Bro I loved listening to this video, you took me back to the day I entered BMT

Awesome video! I ship out the end of July. Definitely helps to prepare by watching the video.

Any one distracted by how flawless those eyebrows are??

The only thing I have been stressing about is not knowing step by step what I'm going to be doing. Thank you so much for being so detailed. This is exactly what I wanted.

I’m leaving tomorrow! These videos are a bunch of help. Thanks so much man

You're such a brilliant and sweet young man with such big heart. Obviously you've been mentored into being such classic caliber. All the best in your endeavors...this is definitely informative

Yeah i pulled night bagging detail in med hold. Super fun to watch new trainees come in XD

Great video 🙏🏼 airforce has been a dream for a while now

My first day at Lackland was on my 18th birthday. This was back in 1983. I did luck out though. We arrived at 1 am, got to bed around 2:30 and our TI let us sleep ‘til 10. No lie. That was the last break we got, lol. MSgt Prado and Tech Sgt Bassinger. I’ll never forget them, and I don’t miss them a bit! Worst thing about basic for me was the bats. I hate bats, lol. Thank you for your service, son. Best of luck!

love the jets in the background

Thank you for your service to our country

*you seem like a great person, thanks for the upload, really informative!! that $25 meal voucher. Chick Fil A im dead* 😂😂 I wonder if the service people were worried you were eating your last meal and were gonna go do something reckless or somethin??

This was a great video I like how you got straight to the point! Your so handsome and kinda remind me of the actor Roshon Feagan 🤗

Just came across your channel! Subscribed. Even though I’m planning on becoming an officer these videos are a ton of fun to watch!!

My Son just got to Lackland at 4 pm today! Signed up for 6 year’s. Rank E3. MOS is Security Force’s. Thanks for the information 👍🇺🇸 God Bless You.

Watching this as I wait for my ship date confirmation from my recruiter I know it's still a long road ahead but, looking back, I'm closer than I've ever been

I'm proud of you!

I was in Disneyland too (Wolfpack) and we had to do that drop your bags and pick it stuff

I shipped out from Japan so my MEPS experience was totally different from everybody else's lol

Advice: Retake ASVAB if need be to get the Job you really want! Pick list up to 10 but needs of the Air Force comes first! Get in shape don't wait for Basic (Big DUH) Week 0 is shock week, week 1 get your shit together, week two tighten up, week 3 you got this, week 4 Oh shit combat training, week 5 Lets have some fun!, week 6 down hill, week 7 Lets finish this shit already! 1st day is very long - when you get to Lackland you will be tired but time for shock and awe - first night 4-6 hours rest only and up 0 dark thirty hours and up and at them. We have a saying in the Air Force - Hurry up and wait! 2 reasons they rush you when you get to Base is a lot of processing to do and get you squared away by the TI's and the Shock factor to let you know your there and time to get with it! Mep's - Rest Rest Rest! Your going to need it!

Hearing reveille now is a cruel and unusual punishment. 10 years later and I instantly think of TIs waking people up.

Haha that first morning we had like 5 MTI's wake us up running around yelling at us to GET UP, banging on the lockers, HURRAY UP WE DONT HAVE ALL FREAKING DAY, WAKE THE PISS UP...man we were all like man what the heck, it was crazy from the night before it was so boring and quiet, but I guess they just get a kick out of freaking out the trainees that first morning by surprising us lolI don't remember much more of zero week but all I know was it was crazy

Thanks for all the helpful information!

One day when you gain some rank all these new, amazing experiences you’re talking about will be so remedial.

they do feed you at bmt lololol that made me laugh. 😂

Leaving August 27!!😊🇺🇸 thx 4 all your vids, very helpful!!

Thanks for your volunteer service to America. 🇺🇸

How the heck do you guys remember 0 night? I don’t remember hardly anything that happened that night. I left March 27th of 2018. Listen the concept of bmt is really not hard. Listen ladies! Keep to yourself.

Ayeeee fam hit the nail on the head 😂😂

Thank you for your service man, you inspire me

I remember that gleam in my eye also back Sept 4 2007, man did it burn out fast. Hope who ever sees this stays positive!!

We had older Trainees talk to us, too. Whole Flights, a week or so ahead of us, would go marching by in formation, chanting very sympathetically: "Rainbow, Rainbow, don't be sad. The second week is twice as bad. SOUND OFF. One two. SOUND OFF. Three four. Bring it on down now. One two three four one two, THREE FOUR!!" And very uplifting, spirit-raising messages too. Like: "Rainbow, Rainbow, don't be blue. My T I is ugly too. SOUND OFF. One two..." And, looking out for our best interests, they'd caution us about the worst that was yet to come to them, so far: The VD inoculation. A square needle in the left nut. {The WHAT!?!} LOL

Can’t wait for more videos

I started basic April 3, 2019. Im a Warthog, FLT B425(band flight), from the 321 TRS, and I was blessed enough to have our speaker broken, so we never woke up to revelle.

Call your dog🤣🤣

Like your videos! Keep it up!

When you made this vlog how long were you in the Air Force ? Where did you film it ad what is your AFSC ? I'm an Air Force Veteran . I arrived at Lackland for basic training as we called it back in the day on 18 August 1971 . The whole time I was in the old wooden WWII style barracks w/o any air-conditioning . We just had fans in the barracks . It was pretty hot let me tell ya Airman .

Boiii the opening was the funniest shit 🤣🤣

Just got called for BMT, leaving April 30th.

2 years later and I ship out tomorrow! nervous but HYPE

this video was super informative and helpful for mental preparation for basic. i have a question about graduation, though. Do you graduate after BEAST week or before like the old airman's week? And when you graduate are you done for good now or still have to go back to that final week?

Everyone I’ve ever heard explaining the food voucher has never been able to finish the entire thing 😂

Shipping out in 1 week lets get it

When we got off the bus they made us do facing movements and we had to keep taking a knee and it was annoying. I was in shorts and really fucked up my knee🤣

My meps wasn't super busy but the staff was lazy and took years

I ship out May 28th I can’t wait!

Super helpful. Thank you!!

I was flight 035, second to none! We must have graduated around the same time, I graduated Dec. 7.

Airmen be looking on point 👌👌👌

Thank you bro 🙏🏾

Shipping out in a little less than a week. March 5th.

Not much has changed since 79. I was a156th got as 3703 in what y'all know as the old dorms. Mine was torn down last year. It would be 323rd now. When I came in no one was with me. I got left on the quad for hours no food or water. Someone forgot to tell my squadron I was there. Lol alarm.

Trip Lee... thanks for the info!

Dope video shipping next month !

I plan on talking to a recruiter as soon as baseball season is over

"You're kinda gonna have a bad time" me: **Immediately thinks of Sans saying "Do you wanna have a bad time?"**

i was flt 073 graduating class of jan. 4th 💪🏼

Wow, nice content man!

I can’t wait till I can join!! 3 1/2 years ughhh

This guy is still liking comments after a year...what a legend....xD

Shipping out next month!

Don't do what we did! We came in for the MEPS hotel bedcheck (9pm). We snuck out at 10pm and went to a local bar for a few last drinks. We crawled back in at 3am drunk as skunks. Making the 4:30am mandatory breakfast was a bitch. The rest of that flight and first day experience was PAINFUL!

The Polynesian sauce!!!! YASSSS!!!!

I ship out January 7th. Not looking forward to going back to MEPs again. I went to the MEPs at Fort Jackson in Columbia SC and those were the most dysfunctional and rude people I've ever encountered. The ladies at the desk were disrespectful and rude for no reason, same with the ladies in medical.

Shipping out next month! 🤞🏽

I'm watching this at tech school AT SHEPPARD. Crazy

When i was there we didn’t get 7 hrs of sleep but we did get a little extra. I got to my dorm at about 0600 and my MTI woke us up around 1045/1100 and I was in Disney land also.....maybe because I was in band flight but I know I had a little for then an hour of sleep.

Do they still have the Lackland Laser flashlights? I went thru in 1985.

very informative thank you

Good video bruh.

They did give us 7 hrs of sleep tho lmao i think it depends on your MTI. I was in Disney as well!

Do people in the air force have to repel from the tower ? If so what happens if you to afraid of heights and can't do that "activitie" is that required?

Sheppard AFB! I was just over there

Great video! I’m hoping to go into the Air Force within the next 8 months after High School graduation. I’m a little excited but if course real nervous

Flight!! Squadren!!

Everything is so much more different than how it was for the other people that I have watched... lol

how was your airport experience? i'm on the east coast in SC, a whole timezone from Texas. i've never flown before, i've never been in an airport. it's the part i'm most nervous for, lmao.

PSA to everyone shipping, raise yo hand for stairwell crew. Your welcome.
