Something I learned in Basic Training that I will take to OTS is Insoles for boots. You're going to be marching a lot, get a decent pair of insoles so your feet won't hurt as much when your standing/marching for long periods of time.

Yes I didnt have insoles and my feet hurt so bad!!!!

Are there hotels nearby for family members to stay in when they come to attend graduation or is there on-base lodging they can use? Thanks for an awesome video! I'm heading to COT in less than a month so this is very helpful! :)

I’m upset with You tube because I didn’t get my notification when this video went live...? I’m definitely subscribed and notifications are on. Anyways! This video is very helpful. Information is hard to find, especially for COT. What hair gel would you recommend that will hold up in the heat, and with taking off/putting on a hat all day? Also, I love your makeup! Would this look/colors be something I could wear with uniform?
@VeronicaLuke6 жыл бұрын
Use eco gel! But i had a hard time keeping my hair down due to sweat and hat on/off all day. For makeup, yes but dont make it as bold as me... there will be people quick to tell you your out of regs other wise lol

I love this! I'm an experienced MSN,BSN and this is exactly what I'm doing! (BUT I wanted to be a pilot....), do you think I'm best off sticking with nursing?
@GumpDiva19136 жыл бұрын
Your hair is soooo pretty! I am thinking of getting the small twist for COT, will they fit under the hat? Do you have to be able to fit them in a bun?

Hi! I came across your channel while looking up packing lists for COT! Could you receive mail during COT? If so, can your family send you things in large packages? (i.e. care packages or larger boxes that can hold a backpack)? Does this make you stand out and get yelled out for receiving these larger packages in the mail? Thanks!

@12:40 good to know about the socks/shoes, but how far do they have you running each day? Can you give an example of day to day, say like 5am 15-minute run, 1pm 20-minute run, etc.?

Hello, I’m currently a senior in college at Ashford University and I’m going getting a degree in Early Childhood Education so basically becoming a teacher. I have a 3.2 gpa right now. I haven’t decided if I’m joining the Navy or the Air Force as an like officer. I’m just wondering if you think the Air Force will take a teacher as an officer/ if I have a good chance? My mom and her Air Force friends said I shouldn’t have a problem but I’m a little nervous.

I want to be a doctor but dont know how to go about it. I want to be an officer so i can make more money while working and saving and still taking classes while im in the military. It would be ideal to sign for 4 years and work on classes as much as i can while im in . I want to save while I am in to buy real estate. I would still become a doctor in the long run but I would live on base the entire time to save. Yes, no if ands or buts. any advice? Should i get my associates first? before I join? I am getting my degree in biology (includes chem)

What all do they ‘take away’ from you when get there? I know I can’t be the only one who absolutely has to wash, tone, and moisturize the face twice a day because of oily skin lol...do they let you keep skin care and face products? I went through enlisted bmt quite a few years ago and they took this kind of stuff from us. Thanks and your video was really helpful!
@VeronicaLuke6 жыл бұрын
Hey, great question! They don't take anything away per say but you turn in your suitcases of civilian clothes after a few days. I have the same skincare routine and I kept all my products :). If you went through enlisted BMT then this will be a little easier physically!

Are you able to bring more than one bag? Or just one? I want to plan and dont know if toiletries would be too large. Also, backpack, printer, etc. does it all have to be packed into one?
@VeronicaLuke5 жыл бұрын
I would bring either one large bag or two! They dont care how much you bring. I packed most of my things in one bag but i ran out of toiletries quickly, so bring full size :)

Bring an Xbox and once ur in library or freedom then ur able to ask ur instructors to request permission to execute "xbox time" and if you live local u can request a chit to be able to sleep at the comfort of your home instead with a bunch of weirdos. Then you can come in early in the morning 15 min prior to 15 min before the day begins. lol
