@@leilanistandridge3309i'm not knocking the achievement at all as former USAF but as a 6 year enlistee you get the ability to test earlier than a 4 year having got 2 stripes out of BMT.

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years! I feel like you just started !! When I’m older I want to be like you and enlist in the AF ❤️ and you have helped me take those steps
Congrats! Army girl here, just picked up my E5 (SGT) rank! I know the feeling! Love the video, could NOT agree more to these values. The military really is what you make out of it. I love it personally. It’ll be 5 years in February for me! Keep killing it!
Congratulations to you!! How hard is it for an attractive woman in the Army? I am a retired Air Force Security Police Officer who was given stations that I wanted, traveled the world, met 2 US presidents, the Queen, and have to say, was blessed with the ability to have beautiful women around me. But I always felt bad about the way that they were treated by the general troops. Just curious if its different in the Army. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN. My dad was an 82nd Airborne Ranger in Korea.
@@m4sniper79 please don't reply to statements that aren't directed to you. Im a 4th generation US Veteran who served proudly in the 6912th esg in Berlin as if I needed to explain shit to you. Be careful of what you say about people, there's laws against that. No need to reply.
@@franklobo5876 So you don't like people making unsolicited comments to you? That is exactly what you are doing to these women when you make comments about their physical appearance.
Congrats!!! It’s so nice and to see your perspective change to being more positive. I got stationed at Tinker AFB, OK, so I definitely was pretty depressed when I first got here but I’m learning to be more positive and enjoy where I’m at in life.
Omg having a baby just to get out 😂😂 that’s so funny & then you said you don’t even want kids I love it. Followed you since the beginning now finally going to subscribe you’ve helped a lot .
I’m in Australia and have been in the process of being enlisted into the army for the last 2 years and have basically been watching you since then. I’m so glad you got staff Sargent! Congrats 🤍 I’ve been given an enlistment date of 19 October so hopefully all goes well and as soon as out out of BMT I can’t wait to see your new uploads 🖤
It's so inspiring seeing how much your tone has changed while you've been serving! I'm proud of you and totally motivated to make the Air Force part of my journey after college. I agree with everything you said in this vid. The importance of surrounding yourself with positive energy is so understated and I believe we can become better people by breaking out of those comfort zones and seeing the good in our situations. Positivity attracts positivity!
Hey Elora, thanks for sharing! I’ve been in the Air Force for just over two years and I was the same way when I first got in, just really focusing on getting my own stuff done but the teamwork aspect is really true. Congrats on making staff!
I joined the Ait Force in Feb. Changed branches. Was in the Army for 6 years, E5. I transferred over and I'm starting off as SSGT. So far, I'm loving it. Way easier than the Army. I plan on going for my 20!
Congrats! I'm trying to join the AF as soon as I graduate high school in my junior year (in '22) and your videos have helped me feel more comfortable in my decision. Thank you so much!
Congratulations SSgt!! Your videos have been such a source of inspiration for me. I always wanted to enlist but was never brave enough.. but I finally did it! I enlisted in June and leave for BMT next month, and I couldn't be more excited! Keep being awesome and making great content, it does not go unnoticed!
Congratulations! That's an awesome achievement! You have been such an inspiration to me especially when I was still deciding whether or not to join. Im now almost a year in(October 1, 2020 will be 1 year for me). I got stationed at Shaw AFB as a Civil Engineer and I'm loving it so far. My coworkers and leadership are so supportive and patient! They are the best! Also I just officially announced that my husband and I are expecting our first child! Again everyone in my shop are super cool and understanding especially with my many OB appointments I have for the little one. I am looking at going career in the Air Force. But still, I am ecstatic that you made Staff Sergeant I truly believe you deserve it. I love the topics you cover concerning the Air Force and life itself. I hope to meet you face to face someday! Keep up the good work and get it girl!
👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎊Congratulations elora jean. E5 that’s awesome. Hopefully that will come with a change of scenery to a warmer climate in the winter. I feel so bad for u when winter rolls around. I want to bring u a heated blanket and some hot chocolate 😃
So happy for you!! Watching your videos inspired me to enlist to give my daughter and I a better life. Right now I’m going through tech for a 4N! Thank you for making your videos wingman 💜🥰 proud to be serving with you!
congratulations on you new chevron! i hope you will carry this responsibility leading by example, and strive to be the best mentor you can be for your troops!
It’s terrible for young Airmen going to North Dakota. I’ve never been but I’ve heard the horror stories. Lol.....”Why not Minot?” But like you said....mindset.....you have to change it to enjoy your duty station.
Congrats on making SSgt!! That’s awesome. It looks like you’ve been working towards your own self-development and maybe have been reading up on mindfulness, which is great!! 🙌🏻 You look very happy and your positive outlook will highly benefit you in your future. 😊
I recently found your channel, i do respect your honesty and character . It's important to reframe problems ,push through them and better yourself. Congrats on your promotion.
I'm a city guy and found myself in grand forks for a semester during college...I actually liked it out there lol. Congrats to becoming SGT! I'm actually working on being eligible for the air force. At the moment, I'm 40 lbs over the weight limit for my height, but I've already lost 70 lbs. Once I hit my goal weight, I'll finally be able to move forward on my military journey.
Congratulations...great job. Btw did you know your pictures on the base shooting made the Boston Globe...and they credited you too...so congrats for that too
@@EloraJean I am sorry . I do not have a link . But I am positive it was your name and base. It was in the print edition of the daily newspaper. I am positive you were credited by name Elora Jean .perhaps contact Boston Globe research department. ....or you can probably research as a photojournalist....please let me know when you find it.
Good job!! Also thanks for the reminder. I wanna join the Air Force but also I got my first job a few months ago and this definitely helps me to remember its okay to grow from mistakes.
So happy for you! I'm coming up on my one year on the air force and I couldn't be any happier with my decision of joining! Also, I need a hair tutorial please!!!!
Congrats on the rank! I'm not in the Air Force but I hope to join sometime soon, I need to lose weight and pass the asvab. But currently am in a job that I dislike, I'd say hate but that's a strong word. So happy I came across your video! I'm definitely around negative people at work and it literally makes me dread working there! It wouldn't be that bad if people would just stay positive!!
Omg I remember watching your videos on how to march and bmt advice before I enlisted ❤ Its been two years now and I did rank up to e4 after tech school. My contract was awesome lol but came alot of responsibility soo quickly 😂
FIRST, Congrats on making Staff! SECOND, I got an LOC recently too for literally the EXACT same reason and my supervisor said the same thing how “It doesn’t reflect your character because I know you have a high work ethic and you’re really great at your job” etc! I was upset at first because I thought I was the last person who would ever get an LOC, HAHA but I didn’t let It ruin the rest of my day/week/month/ rest of my Air Force Career. Great advice in this video! Thank you❤️👍🏽
@@camryndaggs5442 It's historically the best practice to always rebuttal. I assume your supervisor suggested it. But whatever, hopefully it doesn't lay groundwork for further action. Especially since you didn't rebuttal.
Question for you Elora! I’ve been thinking of joining Air Force reserves so I can continue a civilian job in film/go to film school. As someone on active duty, do you work with reservists as well? and would Broadcast Journalim be something a reservist would get some opportunities to be creative and apart of the team despite not being active duty? LAST QUESTION!: Do you see yourself doing something similar to your photojournalist job after the Air Force? Thank you 🙏🏻 and sorry for the paragraph.
So proud of you, i know mom and dad are also. As far as grand forks goes..... we used to say, no better base than the one you going to..... and no better base then the one you left. And the pretties sight in SD... us the welcome sign in your rear view mirror. Congratulations... now we start studying for tech.... 😁
Hey I really appreciate you making this video. Really really helpful. Did you ever join the reserves? I hate my job as active duty but love the base I'm at.
Most young people today just refuse to grow up. The Air Force will help you do that. Congratulations on your promotion. Good video. And yes their is no "I" in "Team."
I hope you aren't afraid of writing bullets. Now your EPR will be under the SSgt SCOD. IE, due about nowish. Oh, and congratulations! Did you make BTZ or join with some college?
I signed for 6 years and came in with some education, so I had that going for me. I did not do BTZ. I'm pinning on sooner than others because I've been a Senior Airman for a little longer!
Spending an entire career on 12-hour shifts are definitely tolling on the mind and body, so I completely understand your desire to leave that environment!

I signed for 6 years and came in with some education, so I had that going for me. I did not do BTZ. I'm pinning on sooner than others because I've been a Senior Airman for a little longer!
will you re enlist?

been in the same amount of time as you and ive been on 12 hour shifts my whole "career". cant wait to get out. congrats on staff tho
