    I’m not really scared of waking up early or the exercise, I’m just scared of being screamed at all day and making a mistake. I’m just sensitive. If there wasn’t screaming and intimidation involved, I’d be more likely to enlist...

    • @thesmileshow9651
      @thesmileshow9651 4 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      The screaming and constant stress is a must for recruiters to do their absolute best. Personally, I don't want them to get soft. I have to get tough.

      @yoursleepparalysisdemon1828 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      It’s that much stuff because you’ll likely be in a plane on radio with people being shot down and making sure you follow orders and not instinct
      War is really bad, I once was there, and boot camp seems like kindergarten compared to war
      Lots of yelling to do stuff without hesitation

      @_smexy.biches.editz_6849 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Don’t let your fears stop you. I’m most likely gonna enlist and I’m scared of the same thing you are but you can’t let your fear run you. Bc you will have an experience that you will never have again and will never forget! Life is short do something you want to do and don’t let anything stop you.

    Im leaving Tomorrow. I’m staying at the hotel tonight and then waking up at 4 am. I can only do 2 push ups, I can run 1 mile in 11 min, 20 crunches in 1 min and ZERO pull ups. I’m not nervous because I believe in myself. If anyone is interested, I can post my experience after I graduate (12/28).

    • @JesterSeregdhel
      @JesterSeregdhel 7 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Just a heads up, it's going to be a bummer being away from your spouse during BMT and it's going to suck for him too. My wife and I send letters back and forth all the time, but it's not fun being apart. Just know that it's only temporary and you'll both be fine. Good luck at basic, ma'am!

      Did she just say that they make the men and women get butt naked together? I have a military spouse in basic training right now and if that’s the case, there’s going to be an issue (between me and the administration in charge, not between me and my wife) when she graduates. That’s sexual harassment and law suit worthy. I hope i’m misunderstanding this, please someone let me know. Im already sceptic of the military and how trustworthy they are (look at our veterans and all the stories attached to the military), so this obviously doesn’t help me as a now military spouse waiting for my wife to get done.

    Thank you so much Miranda . My daughters just arrived last night at 6pm at Lackland ! She was nervous and so was I (dad). She is the 5th generation of soldier in my family and Extremely proud of her. I remember Army boot camp 20 yrs ago and feared it would be hard for her as it was for me . I was a Combat Engineer so they had to be tough on us but have been preying not so for her. Got the phone call just 3 hrs ago from her that she was there and safe but it was so short and sounded staged (pre-written ) it kinda got me worried .
    After watching your video I'm very relieved and happy knowing its not like the Hell we went through but enjoyed so many years ago .She a very strong and healthly young woman and now know she will do well !!Cannot thank you enough !!

  • @ps3man480

    I was in the army. Of what I heard, the airforce does not really go gung ho like in the army or go fanantical like in the marines. In the airforce they need people who can think.

But somehow, I managed to make an 81 on the ASVAB...Complete and utter shock to me tbh. The Mechanical part about knowing about levers and wedges and nails was the hardest part to me, I don't know jack about Cars, and somehow still made a 116 on it.

    The physical part isn't hard... you'll get over that. It's the psychological aspect, the sleep deprivation, the lack of food and the constant onslaught of information. Of course, I attended BMT about 10 years ago, soooooo I'm sure things have changed.

      They're just people..... all they want is to know you have the endurance to be used and abused by the government (which as a white doesn't work for your interests these days). They look for people with next to no dignity honestly.

    • @mirandagollnick

      Mary Hicks don't be scared! You hair just needs to be a natural color, and minus PT time (which is so early it'll still be dark out) you will be in full uniform so they most likely won't see your tattoos!

      Just do your best, listen (that's why they're yelling). And enjoy how simple life is while you're there, it will never be that way again lol. But def try your best. I didn't put myself out there but MTIs do notice leadership qualities in people and what you do in BMT CAN help you later in your career. One of the main reasons I won BTZ was because I had leadership roles in each level I'd been in since I joined.

My boyfriend is in the Army National Guard, (he hates it mainly because of all the "bs" and wishes he'd have joined the Air Force, but oh well). Thanks for this video girl, it is very insightful and makes me feel better about Basic because that was my main issue!
