I’ll just say this, BMT and tech school are the least challenging experience you’ll ever go through in the military. I graduated BMT on July 2023 (321TRS) and recently graduated from tech school on November 28th. Whenever you look back, you realize how easy it was going through it all. BMT definitely had its fun moments that I wish I could experience again but as soon as I got to tech school, it just felt so weird that I just wished I was still in BMT again lol. But tech school end up being more fun and better eventually. The point is, enjoy it while you can because sooner or later it’s gonna be over before you even know it. Operational will soon hit you with unprecedented challenges. Don’t be afraid to volunteer for anything. It’s a training environment where you are allowed to make mistakes. It’s better to make those mistakes now while training and going to school than doing it out in the field when lives are at stake.

This video is definitely 100% accurate. Especially the part where a trainee said that you should volunteer for a role because if not, they will put you in a role that you may not like! I know first hand because I was forced to be a dorm guidon bearer. I'm also glad that you mentioned the professionalism because a lot of people acted like they didn't care or tried to pass by BMT without doing anything. Best believe they will recycle you. One person was recycled in my flight during week 5 and he went back 2 weeks because he acted like he didn't care anymore. I also wanted to thank you for your great videos! I graduated BMT last week and your videos were extremely helpful.

0:47 when we told our MTIs about that they let us get like 5 minute phone calls every once in awhile apart from the 3 mandatory calls for stuff like banking. They did have coffee at our dfac. And the blankets can be either cotton or wool. It depends on your MTI and what they like, wool looks nicer on beds but creates more lint and dust. Also bring a form of payment like a credit or debit card, you might need to buy more hygiene products, pay for dry cleaning and stuff like that. Our MTIs let us go across the street to the mini mall every week or two to buy more hygiene products.

I just graduated last Friday. Airforce BMT isn't that bad. It's surprisingly easy. For anyone that's watching this video and doesn't know whether or not they want to go into the Airforce, or if you're currently in the DEP program. Stick with it, it's 100% worth it. There are times where it's going to suck and you're not gonna want to be there, or you're going to start telling yourself that you can't keep going through it. My advice to you, embrace the suck, embrace any embarrassment, embrace the hardship. You'll come out a better, stronger, more disciplined, calmer, and confident person than you were before. Every challenge there is mental, it's all in your head. Push yourself harder than you ever have before and you'll be okay. My final word of advice, do what you're told when you're told to do it and take responsibility for your actions. Things will go a lot smoother for you and your roommates if you do

They don’t want anyone who can’t take yelling, someone criticizing them or someone who thinks it’s too hard.

Hello, I’ve been a big fan of the channel and wanted to join since march now, but meps keeping asking for more medical tests and doctors appointments before I can go back. Anyway, I saw on the Air Force website that you can start at a higher rank if you join with some college credits. If I were to spend some years at a community college would that help or guarantee starting at e-3 when I go or is there a limit on how much time can pass between meps appointments? Would I qualify to have that student loan debt paid off if get in? Not having medical insurance has made it very difficult to get what they want so far, I paid cash for the first thing but that’s not really an option anymore. Thank you for your help and your service.

If you have over 45 semester hours of college, you can come in as an E-3, regardless of when you went to MEPS. If the college loan repayment is still around you’d be able to use that too. What I’d recommend is ask your recruiter can they schedule a consult for you since you don’t have health insurance. If approved, MEPS will be able to schedule those additional medical tests and appointments for you. I hope the helps.

Hey Jody I was letting you know that I passed my test and physical now I’m just waiting to swear in and pick my job !🎉 I have a question how long does it take to swear in cause I took my test a week ago and haven’t heard from my recruiter yet on when I swear in ?
@AirForceKrissy 6 ай бұрын
You didn’t swear in after passing everything? You should’ve sworn in the same day or after if they were really booked with people the day you went.

Commenting in case this is helpful. I swore in the day I passed my physical, but also was scheduled another swear in after I retook my asvab and now I’m swearing in again the day I ship out. You should call your recruiter if they aren’t responding to text messages, just so you know what to expect with your process.

Wait a minute. You got it all wrong. I enlisted during the height of the Vietnam draft. There were hundreds of draftees sitting on the floor while enlistees went to the front of the line. Why was this guy with the big hat yelling at me at Lackland? I'm a good guy!

Hello, does having astigmatism disqualify you from the Air Force? Is a medical waiver needed? Thank you!!
@Jodywithawhy 2 ай бұрын
It depends on the severity of the astigmatism. The only way to know if you’d be qualified is to try. I hope that helps and good luck.

@@Jodywithawhy hello, I just went to MEPS and unfortunately passed everything but the vision part. I do have astigmatism, while my left eye was a -7.5 my right eye was -8.25 is it possible to join the Air Force with a refraction error over -8? I will be going to see an ophthalmologist on Monday but my recruiter said I would have to go on my own.
@Jodywithawhy Ай бұрын
It’s possible but you would need to submit optometry records for a surgeon general waiver. As soon as you complete the appointment on Monday, ask for your records and then get them to your recruiter asap.

What is the average age of the recruits? Are the majority young, right out of high school?
@Jodywithawhy 6 ай бұрын
I would say the majority are young 18-25. As far as when they join, during the summer months it’s mostly all recent high school graduates, and during the winter months, it typically an older crowd.

As someone who joined just shy of over a year ago, the professionalism was the hardest part for me. I grew up homeschooled in a Baptist church, going into a dorm full of people of all different walks of life tested me heavily. But I think I have grown immensely as a person because of the difficult time I went through.
