If you have any other questions leave it in the comments and i will get back to you as soon as I can. And I AM taking requests for videos. Leave it in the comments! :D - เกม
My dad was in the Air Force in 1981-1989. He still folds all of his clothes according to code. It’s actually hilarious. He fights my mom on how she folds his clothes to the point where she just gives him a basket full of all of his stuff to let him do it himself. He also made me fold all of my t-shirts the way you folded the Sand Tee. He didn’t do a full check but he did adjust them if something was “off.” I still do it because it saves space.
Different strokes for different folks. 1981-2007 here and never folded anything after Basic. My OG 507s and subsequent uniforms got heavy starch at the cleaners and that was it. We did measure everything we folded in Basic of course.
My parents had the same argument. 😂
Thank you ! I enlisted right after the Korean War.
I served 3 tours in Vietnam.
Retired after 32 years.

Thanks for your service, Chief!
You two made my evening. I was in AF from 75 through 79. Got a demerit for a hair in my comb. Will always be grateful that I served. Thank you both for your service. Enjoy it and travel as much as possible. When you get older, you'll be glad you did.
Lmao "unfortunately because you're in BMT and your life sucks." After everything. I love it 😂😂😂 you guys are awesome. I ship out Dec 6 so thank you!!!
Good luck!
good luck to you! xoxo
LalalaMaddie i was watching this video and looked at the comment and saw that we both ship out on the same date
omg, I leave December 6th too!
Oh shit! Me too!
I enlisted into the Air Force on 7 Jul 1972. Yes, that was quite a few years ago. To this day, I still fold my underwear and socks the same way as in BMT. Thanks for showing how to fold/roll T-shirts. Will definitely come in handy to save space. We did not have any T-shirt type items back in the day. I absolutely love your uniforms compared to what we had. Thanks again, and thanks for your service.
Just a heads up. The sand t initial fold was incorrect. Your laundry mark has to be down so when properly displayed it needs to show down and to the right in the drawer.
You two missed the main point.... Tell everyone "WHY" the Air Force has you do things like this? Do you even know why? The truth is, the Air Force really doesn't care how you fold your clothes after Basic Training. This is basically 'Brainwashing" The Air Force wants to TRAIN you to..... "PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL"... YOU MUST BE A MACHINE... YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL..
Reason? You might become a maintenance tech on an ICBM... oops, you "FORGOT" something... oops, you blowup half of Montana. oops... PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL ! Clip those loose threads ! Line EVERYTHING UP STRAIGHT !! "DO AS YOU ARE TOLD AND INSTRUCTED" You might be working on an aircraft one day, that pilot is putting HIS LIFE in your hands... PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL !!!
The MOST IMPORTANT thing you can take to Basic Training and Tech School.. is.... "PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL"
That is all... as you were.
Yes sir
Eh, who needs montana anyway
I remember that lesson well, it served me in my AF career and beyond. It’s THE most important lesson you will learn there.
I'm going to join the AirForce once I'm 18 which will be in a few years. My grandma is an AirForce veterans and that's partly why I'm joining. I just want to thank you guys for your service.
i hope they didn't bully you for this when you went operational. this helped me before i went to bmt a few years ago.
In basic we had everything folded. We wore one item while the other was in the laundry. We went through those 2 items the whole time during basic so we did not have to fold everyday.
A Lil secret bout clothes in basic is to fold n space all clothing then don't touch it again. Live out of ur laundry bag, wear 1 of each n keep 1 of each in laundry bag n wear n wash the 2 till u graduate.Ull nvr be able to get all the edges flush again if u wash all ur stuff.
Shon Seibert so only wear 1?
@@kaam.. Or a few. It has been a while, but I recall our TI had a "minimum" in our drawer for inspection... and conveniently, it would give us enough for a laundry day. Besides undies, maybe wear some things twice and you always had a "display" item that never got touched.
Now, at home you may go "ew, they'd reek" but... everyone has the BMT smell, it doesn't matter :p
Depends on the TI. Some TI's like to sneak items like pennies (or hair pins) into folded clothes. If they find it during next inspection, you get a demerit.
My Son is leaving July26 2020 for BMT as a E3, just got out of H.S. I was trying to tell Him how to fold everything. You guys made it easy for Me. Thanks God Bless and Good luck. Ret.E-7 ARMY.
When I was in basic training (1990) we split up in the evenings and people broke into groups, some people did beds, other clothes, I personally (with two other guys) shined everyone's boots. I never folded clothes and rarely even did my bed (but sometimes you have to if you're on the spot) - I shined boots, all the boots all the time. I really good at it, and could do it quickly as was the case with the other people who did their respective jobs. Even arranging it in the locker was a job that only a few people did, and they did it for everyone. If you're going to BMT bring it up the the dorm chief and maybe you can do it that way also. We exempted the latrine queen and his guys because they had a shit job and were awesome at it and everyone paid extra attention to their shit. Basically, it was an assembly line of evening tasks and it was very effective. Good luck, it does suck, but it's only 8 weeks. The rest of the time in the Air Force is basically hardly different from having a civilian job.
Towels: Were you screwed because you thought it was a 'two finger' rule all BMT? Haha, thank you both this helped me immensely!!!! Bless you both.
18:30 “Brush your face, shave your teeth” 😂
You guys are amazing!! Thanks for the important information!!
Practicing already lol. Thanx for this!!
Wow this is great for traveling when you need to pack!
Not even a shout out to me for teaching you how to do the machine? Man that's messed up chops.
wuddup man how you been? and honeslty it was navaro who showed me who intern probably learned from you. my bad :)
Low slow kill everything below.
WHAT! They have gone soft apparently. What happened to the hours spent with tweezers to get the edges of your shirt perfectly even and in a 6 inch square? None of this would have passed when I went through. It would have all ended up in a pile on the floor and you would have latrine and KP duty for a week. I will say I loved the time that I served. Goof for you guys for trying to help others out. I am a proud retiree. Keep up the good work Airmen.
all the tweezing and plucking of every pice of clothing!
airman662001 What have I gotten myself into?
I remember the 6 inch square t-shirt folding and plucking the edges with tweezers. I went in 1990. We had an airmen that specialized in everything from polishing boots, to folding clothes, and making beds. We helped each other out tremendously. I miss those days because we really bonded.
1990 BMT here too! Went in September so the TIs were teasing us saying we're going to go in desert storm without tech school training. Also 1998 OTS.... basic training ribbon w/OLC lol
Yesss thank you! I want to be prepared as much as I can.
Thank you so much for making this. btw yall are funny.
Thank you guys!! Im 25 now and feel like joining sometime between Summer & Winter 2019 as of now 6'2" 265.6ibs need to be 220ibs ,but hopefully allowed in at 240ibs.
Crazy how I remember watching these videos before I joined the Air Force to prep for BMT. I’ve now been in for just over 5 years. Went to BMT April 24th, 2018.
Im in dep, any advice?
@@mouseinthehouse4095 yeah I can answer any questions you got
"Rush down the hall like a fat kid after a cookie"
Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips! I leave for BMT Monday and this will help me out a lot!
You're welcome good luck! If you have any questions reply and answer to the best of my abilities
When I went through in Dec 92-Jan 93. Some things have changed. One thing my TI told us once you get your display folded correctly do not touch that's all I look at in depth. Just make sure the daily ware make isn't sloppy or I will inspect everything and toss what is wrong onto your bed and floor. Also we had no pt suit we did pt in our bdu's however we did have cheep track shoes though. We did have one guy if you couldn't fold worth the crap he would do it for a favor to be named later.. Like during base lib he would have you buy him some supplies. If you didn't better watch out cuz while on dorm gaurd and everyone is out on pt he would mess with your stuff just to get you busted. (I kinda liked my TI cuz we where his last flight before heading off to OTS so the last few weeks he got a little soft)
3711, pride instills moral, the 11th prepares the finest. We didn't even have pt uniforms in basic, we pt'd in our BDUs. We finally had pt kits in tech school.
i was in 3711 back in 84, we just ran in t shirts uniform pants and tennis shoes. Not really sure if the shoes actually qualified as tennis shoes.
"Your life sucks at BMT. What do you want?" 😂😂😂
Thank You for video, I leave for BMT May 31st. Good Info
Apryl Hunter how was it?
Great video! Very helpful
This is super helpful!
Your guy’s channel is amazing. I want to go into the US Air Force but I’m not old enough yet. I’m in Civil Air Patrol and these u inform tips are very helpful.
I'm in the same boat as you
I love Matty
Great video guys
to you lads, 7 years after my time, but the squadron of the mustang is indeed one of the best at BMT
Anytime anyplace mustangs
Is it weird I fold my socks like that already? my dad was in the army and I grew up doing that!
Hi
"floats your vesle."
Water! Water floats my Vesle!
Leaving in a few days. January 14th 2020. These videos are super helpful
how was it ???
juli p it was great. Seemed hard at first but you slowly get the hang of it. I actually had a lot of fun. I made it through and now I’m an Airman. I loved it.
Tristan Hales my ship date is august 11 and i’m super excited ! :)
Tristan Hales im glad that so many people enjoy it
juli p congratulations and good luck! Things will be a little different when you get here but you’ll do fine! I’ll still be at Lackland in August. I’m security forces so my tech school is right next to the basic training squadrons.
Leave July 17, 2018, Thanks for the tips
the begenning of the video had me cracking up 😂
lexieeleann_11 1 good. That’s the point
I fold my socks like that since I was kid until now the good thing about folding your socks like that you won't lose the other pair
I'm trying to learn how to do this before I go to basic next week. It's more convenient to know how beforehand.
The way the shirts and socks are folded are so efficient. It saves on so much space. I'll probably use it to refold all my clothes at home to pack away for after tech school.
Thanks, awesome resource .
Where exactly do you mark T, laundry mark?
Y’all are dorks, thanks for the helpful info lol
Shay Slayer you’re welcome lol
so helpful thank you!
Skipped right over folding the bag. That was my job. It’s the hardest to get flushed- used tweezers. I was the bag lady. I did every bodies bags but that’s all I did. Gradually I ended up doing everyone’s a couple times. I slept on them to get them perfect. TI knew which ones were my fold and told the sloppy girls to trade or be nice to me to get the proper bag fold. When I heard that- it was a HUGE compliment.
Our flight lost honor flight because brother flight was so terrible. MAJORLY unfair, but that’s the way it was. The females were told to go in the male side and we were buddied up. The females outdid brother flight in everything. But we lost honor flight because of their f ups.
Rishi Beauty well done haha sorry you guys didn’t win
I would like to see a 2nd Uniform display assistance video for Air Force.
Put the sand tee in the tray to fold it. Makes it tight and uniform
Back in BMT when someone messed up bad, we would take an unfolded sock and put a rolled up sock inside and beat the shit out of them at night when our MTI left. The punishment always seemed to be effective.
For laundry marks on all military issue attire is it possible to do red or white on the track pants/ yoga boxers?
Great video
Hey airman , thanks !!! 😎
You cannot say that seriously to someone in the Navy. Thanks seaman
+A Ragin Cajun k.....
Good, Well made video, Show the clip of you rolling the sand tee next time though, it helps a lot more than you would think. Thank you for the video and thank you for your service, airmen. Keep the videos coming guys!!! And P.S. your socks were terrible :D
We were not at all trying to our fullest extent. We're out of BMT we kinda don't have to care lol
+Alastor haha I feel you brother.
And im about to shipout, going up to the Meps building tomorrow morning
Did you make it?
my recruiter told me that in basic he used tweezers or something like that to roll up his sand tee
Leaving for BMT in February, going for Security Forces. Thanks for the info, broski
What's your ship date?
@@TheNyzzler Feb 12th
@@gorgeousfreeman2240 nice, I'm shipping a week after you.
@@TheNyzzler Well look at that!
Gonna need an update when ya get out
I was in basic in 1980 and i dont remember ever getting that much time to get your stuff folded and in your foot locker. At least without the TI yelling anyways.
Nice flush
In Civil Air Patrol, along with the Air Force. All CAP cadets are to not wear top button in ABU’s, same as in the Air Force
What about your blue uniform? When I went thru BMT in 1982, we wore our blue uniforms every day and folded our clothes differently
👍✌thanks for sharing.
When I went through in 1978, I had my wall locker display, I lived out of my laundry bag
I love it
nice video sir
Sep to Oct 1997 in the 321 TRS and we were in the old barracks and all windows were painted over.
thank you.
With the sweat pants, does it matter if the pull string hangs down? What do you do about that ??
this is probably the funniest thing I'm about to ask ... based on personal hygiene ...how does dealing with your underwear after showers and washing go? I'm sure its a wonder if you're in the laundry crew and you're washing someone elses underwear. Anyone? Martin? lol
1000th like
nice video
With the jacket Do you button and if so what button the top one? When you’re putting it in your locker.
“Your life sucks a BMT, what do you want?” 😂😂😂
Kinda cool that you have time to do fun shit like this while also being in the military
They aren't prisoners
yes they are you squid fuck
+Dez you're an idiot
he is clearly a prisoner of war and cannot do as he wishes
+Dez k
The one thing that I got hit on was little papers from dry cleaners. And don step on the chrome!
What do you do with your civilian cloths once you get to BMT? Do you fold them up with the rest of your stuff, or just keep them in your suitcase, or something else?
They're kept in the bags you brought with you to basic and placed in a secure location(closet that might be in your dorm that your MTI has the key to) and you'll get them back when you're done.
You get a fucking dorm at air force bmt?
+John Smith they're in tech school in this video showing how to fold your stuff.
+SalvadorVlogs but you just said that at bmt the civi clothes get put in their dorm closet
+John Smith yea it's a closet in the day room that gets locked at night and the closet itself is always locked
so i just realized ive been folding my socks like this my whole life and no one told me lol
You be snacking on them pringles
Someone in my flight tested positive for COVID so I’m quarantined at the airforce hotel here at lackland. My ocd is peaking and I forgot how to fold my duffel bag. You didn’t show how but you have it laying there :(
When I went through we rolled nothing. All T shirts were folded 6 inches wide and the collar had to be perfectly centered. I really wish they would demonstrate how to polish black combat boots. Especially when the boots are stained with white marks from perspiration.
Yes, we actually folded our clothes. And it better have been perfect. They seem to have gone easy with this Navy rolling garbage.
wow you guys sure do travel light hahah.
Just to note in the older squadrons,322 at least anyway, the PT display is different, it gets hung on the end of the bed not on the locker.
Since most older squadrons are getting closed eventfully that information will be irrelevant to about 75% of the people who watch this
+Alastor Still worth noting anyway for the other 25%.
+Michael Carr in the future it won't matter regardless and neither of us were old dorms so we wouldn't know
+Alastor I know you wouldn't know that's kind of why I mentioned it, and who knows how long till all the old squadrons are actually shut down anyway, but for at least the near future it's still at least semi-relevant.
i do wonder how you guys do it when you guys have to travel do the same thing lol hahah.
My father has a ID card and orders for my father signed, yes signed in my fathers presence from WWII, When it was the USAAF
nice, i ship out November 15th
Guns N Mexicans how was basic? I'm trying to get as much info as possible!
It was easy asf tbh i graduated jan 6th then left like jan 13th or 14th cus of airmens week. Right now im at keesler afb for tech school, gonna be personnel. It's super easy and im skinny/short lol you got nothing to worry about it just gotta be motivated
Guns N Mexicans alright thanks, good to know! The only part I'm worried about is PT, how prepared were you before you shipped out? Like push-ups, sit-ups, etc? Thanks again for the info!
Does this apply after the backpack initiative
So you should cut the top button off of your uniform? and not even button the top one up when hanging it ??
Smile while you can 😂
When do they teach you how to do all of this and how long is the lesson?
Love the intro..lol 😂
is it ok if my compression shorts are all black but have gray/white letters around the garter belt/waist line part of it?
Jack Lack no
Bruh I’ve been in the AF for a while now. I’ve been trying to figure out how to fold the duffel bag again.
Also we used our shampoo as soap so we didn't have to clean the bar of soap. There was no such thing as body wash back in the 80's.
Is there any way to get the bmt asg ahead of time
Do they also teach you this when you get there too?
Alexis Clemmons Yes, they don’t expect you to know any of this
You kids are soon lucky today.... Our uniforms were STARCHED.. HEAVY STARCH. You got 4 uniforms, you wore it one day, then tossed it into the dirty clothes bag... to go the the cleaners, to be washed and STARCHED AGAIN... You wore that uniform EVERYDAY.. even in PT Physical Training. ALSO you wore heavy 100% leather combat boots to run in. YES RUN. Fully STARCHED uniform and black combat boots, in that Texas heat and humidity.
😂 this is how my whole house folds their clothes
Allyssa Dalton they roll their shirts? Damn
Martin Productions 😂 that’s what happened when your grandpa was in the Air Force
But was it all essential?
Interesting how the coats switched which hook direction at the end
