"Think about how you can fix it instead of how can you complain."
PREACH
The female emergency part really helped me. I was nervous about that part lol
guuuuurrrrrllllll you calmed my shooken nervous about joining now my head is in the game bish i love you
I'm so happy I could help :)
It's been a year now did you even go.......
Mary Slavin people do
@Mary Slavin why are you so pressed. It was a simple question that wasnt even intrusive AT ALL
I'm drama free...and I WILL stay that way. I ignore and stay away from people who start stuff and also I'm a quiet person so.
I hate that shit lol
@@kiyoko335 Yeah, I don't like that high school stuff either. I stay away from toxic people who don't mean me any good. I had to learn that the hard way in even worse situations. I've had other women ask me for money, food, etc, and then get mad and call me stingy because I won't share nothing with them. And those be the main ones who don't have anything to give when it is time for them to contribute for a change. I guess they do that to either take kindness for weakness or see if they can get over on you.
See, that's why I keep to myself and only talk to people who I feel comfortable and closest too. And that might be just one or two people. There are just some people we need to avoid altogether to reserve our peace of mind.
The sexual assault one just made me 100% ready to go into the military. That was the one thing that's kept me terrified to go in, but I feel SO much better now, so thank you!!
If Amanda Bynes and Ariana Granda has a child😍
Besides that... all of your videos are helpful. I want to get into the Air Force so bad
KimVogue Or jojo and ariana
That's funny I was thinking that is totally Christina A + Ariana= pretty girl.
Amanda Bynes + Kaley Cuoco
why do you want to get in so bad?
She looks like neither one of those people.
“speaking of poop” 😂😂 gosh I loved that
I am retired now but, man do I wish there were videos like this when I joined. In the first couple weeks, I thought I had made the wrong decision but, I caught on pretty quickly and became a stronger version of myself that I had no idea existed and made a career of it! I made lifelong friendships and can still call my friends from BMT for anything and they’ll be there no matter what. Your video was awesome, thank you for bringing clarity to girls thinking about joining, you rock!
I love her. She said “guys get excited to... never mind. “ Lol!
When I first decided to join the Air Force, even before I decided to talk to a recruiter, I watched all your videos. I sworn in at MEPs in July of 2018. Fast forward Janurary 2019, I am rewatching all your videos again and my ship date is in 19 days. I'm shipping out Feb 19, 2019.
I'm so happy!!!
Hows it going ??
Shipping out? Sorry if that’s such a stupid question but I’m only a sophomore and I’m quite interested in joining in my near future so I’m not “in tune” with the terminology 😭
ItsJvmie It means Leaving for BMT
Congratulations. How is it?
Hi! I'm a senior in high school and I plan on joining the Air Force after college. This video was helpful thank you.
E M go OTS. Use that degree. 🙌🏻
@@s.ez.a.7651 hey thanks. That's what everyone has been telling me.
E M do ROTC it’s super easy
@@OneWhoSnacks really? Have you done it? And that's my plan as of now.
MentallyDrainedX yes but you can enter into the air force as an officer if you do rotc in college which gives you a lot better pay and will definitely put you on track it’s not the only way to enter as an officer but if might be one of the easier ways at least from what I read honestly that’s my plan just like E M’s plan
This is kind of a silly question but did anyone ever like cry while being yelled at or anything? When i get put under a lot of pressure and stress i cry because of how frustrated i am and I’m so scared that’s going to happen to me lol
That's a great question haha, and yes! I was actually one of those people. It definitely happens, but the good news is it probably happens so often that it isn't a huge deal lol.
There’s always one person in every flight that cries
I cried while getting yelled at a couple times. But I think it was more out of exhaustion than anything.
🙏🏻 i wouldnt be the only one 😅
Dude that’s so fucking annoying. I’ve just been in high school this whole time mad crying cause by teacher is a bitch
You make a good point about waiting until after basic training is over when it comes to flirting with the opposite sex. We had a couple people get caught doing that. They would write a letter for the person they were interested in, mail that letter to someone back home and have them mail that letter back to the guy/girl it was intended for. It works until the DS's start wondering why Thomas from Iowa is getting letters from Florida, lol. So yea, just don't do it.
I was just reminiscing and looking at videos about AF BMT. I miss it some days! I retired in January 2017 after 22 years of service. Man, I wish there was stuff like this to watch before I went. You did a great job on your video and explained a lot of fears women will have during basic. I wish you all the successes in the world as you continue your AF career. Reach for the stars... you are truly your own obstacle in your career path!
CJ Martin Thank you for your service (and the encouragement)!
Your video is amazing! This is stuff I cannot speak of ...well...because I am a male. .. I will definitely share! Great perspective!!
Ah, I love your pic, officer blue looks good on you
Michael Hammers we women shall salute this man
I literally groaned at the fact that I cannot beat my face. 😩😩
I definitely felt the same haha, I used BMT as an excuse to let my skin breathe
Save the beat look for tech school trust me
What does beat your face mean
GuppyG to put on a full face of makeup
I’m wondering about the eyebrow waxing 😭🤷🏽♀️
Thank god for women like you, I'm enlisting and these were some of my biggest concerns and you just took so much of my anxiety away! My boyfriend just went off for basic and I can't ask him these questions so I feel so much better! Thank you so much!
i'm in the same boat
I just finished my 6 year enlistment in the AF. I was a female 249 gunner so it was crazy. My unit was 94th Security Forces squadron. 3 deployments and a lot of physical training. BMT was a breeze for me though lol. I'm a disabled veteran so I couldn't stay in.
Why u disabled
Thank you for your service!❤️
Keisha B I too am a medically retired SF member & found basic easy...sad thing is newer generation AF have it easier than when I joined in '02 ntm most seem to think that join the military is supposed to be easy when thats craziness...idk maybe it's just me. thanks for your service.
A service well done
wow, amazing...
Wow I was the total opposite!! I had my period the ENTIRE time during BMT 😭 Just cause I was under so much stress. My period didn’t go away until the end of my first week at Tech School.
DAMN
You are very articulate and have a good pace when you speak. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you that means a lot!
She reminds me of jo Wilson from greys anatomy.
I see a little bit of Lexi too
Cristal agreed lol
Nah fr tho
100%
I’m 25 but I’ve been considering enlistment since high school. Your videos have me very interested in the Air Force.
Julianakun will you join? I’m 25 and will be starting the process soon! I’m really nervous 😬 lol
MentallyDrainedX -you only need your High School degree or G.E.D :)
I've actually just signed up and I'm scared but also excited at the same time
I'm 25 as well, debating between AF and Navy. Any tips! Did you end up joining the Air Force? Trying to do more research but honestly I don't know what to look for or where to start.
Julianakun I’m actually 29 and leave for BMT in 13 days. No college credits or anything. Signing 6 yr. coming in as an E3 20 weeks after tech.
great video, my daughter is going into the Air Force and I think this video will help her alot. I was in the army 35 years ago and things have definitely changed! great job!
How has it changed? just curious.
Thank you so much for your perspective and bravery in being candid and open with us, Elora!!
I’m meeting with a recruiter tomorrow and your video has definitely helped ease my nerves a little!! Thank you 😊
Morgan Ceradsky It’s been a year! How did everything go?
I know im late on this but as someone who is considering joining the AF, i found this super helpful! Like its not always stated so just bluntly for questions for potential newbies so i appreciate you doing this girl! I think your awesome.
I swear my phone is listening to me. Just got done complaining to my friends about how gitty I am getting. I leave in 19 days 😳 March 3rd, 2020 🤙
You're not gonna read this for a few weeks, but I am sending you positive vibes❤️ If you read this after you graduate I wanna say I'm proud of you and you're so inspiring for me🥺🇺🇲
@@addisonwolsiffer9952 give us a update once your back plz
@@ellamaeturknett4863 yess
i hope it’s going well!!
@@addisonwolsiffer9952 I just graduated 2 weeks early because of the corona virus! It was quite boring but otherwise fine! Thank you! 💓
I “love” how you brought everything up and kept saying well I didn’t have a problem with that!
I’m so glad I watched this 👏🏽 very helpful to me I was so scared and nervous at first and I thought I was going to be depressed because I have a daughter but I just have to keep in my head that she is who I’m doing it for ! Thanks I love it ❤️❤️
I'm going to take a moment to appreciate you. wow thank you. as soon as i was done with my career test I was like yes photojournalism is for me and I'm so thankful for all of your videos and adivce!!!!!!!
Yay! Thank you so much :)
this is great! I love how open and honest you were, and not afraid to speak about personal issues!
I've been really thinking long and hard about this and thank u so much u pushed me to do better and yes my future goal 🤗❤
I'm not a FEMALE, but thank you for sharing all of this information. I especially liked what you said about your experience in a leadership role.
I have been toying with the idea of joining the AF too. Thank you for sharing this, and thank you for your service!
I am soooo glad you mentioned the weight loss AND gain cause not many people realize not every want to lose weight like me for instance, I wanna be able to gain weight so I'm so happy you mentioned that they have a program for that!!
I just swore in about a month ago and I just got a job! I’m glad I found your channel.
OMG I was looking for a video like this, oh and btw her eye makeup is GOALS
I had been thinking about joining the military since high school. However, I didn’t join right away because I wanted to make my mom proud by earning my associates degree. Now I have my degree and have just been working. I have a boyfriend who is in the Army and he supports my decision to join the Air Force. Your videos are giving me some more confidence in joining and I appreciate it.
Same here.. I'm 30 married for 11yrs and never went to college. I have been thinking a lot about joing the AF.
Bri B are you still thinking in joining ?
I'm 35 and thinking of joining now..its been in my mind for a while too. I'm married and 3 kids. I'm going to go crazy without them ..ugh the stress
I am considering joining the air force after high school, your videos have been extremely helpful and answered so many of the questions i had!!
Thank you for always sharing your experiences and giving me insight on what I will be doing in the future! Whenever I question something I always come to your channel to get educated on it lol. Stay beautiful. 💜
This educated me a little. 🤣 My daughter just went to bootcamp. I hope she watched these videos.
Btw, can u do a video of how your daily /weekly schedule was like, the types of exercises they did in PT, and how to physically prepare yourself for BMT!!! Because idk what type of exercises they do, and I really wanna be prepared for it!!!
Me hey I know this was two months ago but the Air Force actually has a ‘14 week exercise schedule’ that they made specifically for people to get prepared! It’s not required but I’ve heard it’s helped tons
@@DontBAfraid01 is this schedual on the website for the AF? Cause I'm currently working on my PT so I can be ready for BMT after I graduate college.
DontBAfraid01 where can I find this?
Wow I’m thinking of joining the Air Force and I already started training with a buddy. This video helped me out SO much and you answered great questions that I was wondering! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! You made me feel so much more confident about going into bmt
Thank you so much! Tbh this give me motivation.
Love it ❤️ nice to hear your perspective
I’m a sophomore in Highschool and I’m currently in JROTC, my dad is my main inspiration to join. I went to CLC camp for a week and it’s nothing like your experience but it made me nervous for Basic Training because of how hard I found it. Your videos are calming my nerves and I’m grateful because my dad doesn’t remember anything from BT lol.
Ahh thanks for mentioning wlw! I was worried there wouldn't be much info about that
I was in Navy Boot Camp and the tummy troubles could be solved with fruit opposed to laxatives. Everyday of Boot Camp I'd eat an apple, orange or watermelon with my meals. In addition to taking care of constipation eating the fruit caused me to lose weight. I went from 125 lbs at the beginning of basic to 98 lbs at the end of basic. It was a good thing that Great Lakes Navy Training Camp was training child Sea Cadets because I needed a child sized uniform following such extreme weight loss.
I ship two weeks from today, this was really helpful!!
Love to hear that!
Man this really helped, I leave in a few months, I was hearing some craziness.
Thanks so much for this video girl!! This helps my worries out a lot, I’m going in the USAF in one more month! I’m super excited😁
I'm so happy to help, and I wish you the best!
This was a great video! Thank you! I should be shipping out in a few months.
The things I'm worried about the blood being taken at meps. The rope obstacle. The runnings and drama.
Ps.. I couldn't help but notice your door looks like a shark. Haha.
kayla blackwell it does look like a shark lol 😂🦈
I noticed that too 😂
Kayla blackwell where r u from ?
seems like you did everything perfectly! Good for you!!!
Thank you very much for this video!! I am going to enlist in the next year and I’ve been stressing about what will happen with me being a female. This video put my mind to ease. Thank you!!!
Great video I’ve been thinking about joining the Air Force and thanks for the video. It’s really put me up there and now I want to join 10times more .
I love your makeup😍 and I leave for BMT in a week for Security Forces and I’ve watched a tonnn of BMT vids and this was by far the most informative one I’ve watched! Im so glad my ‘personal’ questions have been answered haha so Thank you soooo much for this video!❤️
hannah nelson thanks! And omg girl good luck, security forces is another world from what I’ve heard. Be ready to get pepper-sprayed and tasered! I got a lot of respect for security forces. I’m glad you had some questions answered, I’m happy to be of assistance 😊
hannah nelson Same I leave on the 17th
Sarah Richard oooh girl message me on insta real quick! @itsmehannahnelson
How was basic?
@@EloraJean fuckkkk I’m just starting my research now and I was thinking about security forces but I already got tazed for my old corrections job and I could not do that shit again….I already have PTSD from that
This chick looks like a grown up Maddie Ziegler
Trueeee
Thank you so much for the honest information definitely lets me get a better idea about BMT!
I seriously considering going into an AFROTC program (I’m in high school) but I was having some questions that would make me not go lol. But these kinds of videos have clear up a lot of stuff for me and put things into perspective!
I was in the army, we only had 1 female our cycle to get her period and the rest of us didnt
Very helpful - thanks for sharing!
Thank you for making this video, my daughter and myself needed to hear this.
This is a very well done and useful video. Your video is a nice break from some of the videos we're seeing. I hope tech school went well for you.
I’m thinking about joining the airforce and I’m so nervous and just like ahhh
I’m not going into the military but this was interesting to watch
You answered so many of my questions. Thank you. 🙏🏾
just enter high school and already want to join the air force Love your videos!
I swear it's a HUGE glowup when people come out of the Military😍😍
I leave for BMT on May 21, can you make an updated packing list? I don’t want to bring too much or not enough. Love your videos! ✨✨
Yeah sure! I packed way too much when I went because I didn't know they provided you with basically everything. I'll get that up soon so you're prepared! :) Thanks for the support!
Elora, do they make you hold your bag over your head when you arrive like the Army if they do the shark attack?
Very helpful and informative vid!! This was also uploaded on my birthday and I’m actually considering joining the Air Force
This video is a year old. I’m not enlisting in the Air Force but the navy but your videos are really settling my nerves. I leave mid July. Thank you so much!!
I wish you the best of experiences, my grandfather was in the navy and so was one of my cousins so I'm very familiar with the branch, I am thinking about going into either the marines or the air Force
I'm going into the Air Force in about a month. Thank you so much for this video!
Cheyenne Wilson of course!! I’m so glad I could help 😊
when do you leave?
Brookieveee I was told in July or August
Congrats!!!
This makes me feel so much better
This was so helpful and interesting! Thanks for sharing and being so open.
Could you please do a video on things that you should and shouldn't talk to your recruiter about? Such as past health issues, details of your contract, and things like that. Thank you❤️
I always gotta use the bathroom when I nervous so I doubt I will have a problem lol
Don’t know you, but I like you. Thank you, this was an excellent video. If we have further questions, where may we ask (besides here)?
For right now, my Instagram is the next best place to ask questions. I really should look into a business email lol.
BTW I’m new to your Chanel and I love you already 😭♥️ so positive and inspirational
I suggest buying a Diva Cup if you don't want to use tampons or pads. Personally, I like going to the gym and not having to stress about my tampon falling out I don't wear pads because it hurts my inner thigh area... especially if my flow is heavy, somehow my period goes away while working out tho. #womenshealth
GYM BEAST GAL cant use tht in basic
Wait for real where is this from???
You won't have to worry about your period in basic. You'll probably get it once and that's it. The stress will make it stop temporarily. Mine did and I thought I had an issue (my mom told me I got a letter from my gyno when I was there saying my last pap had been irregular so that reinforced it)
Brooke Melt0n why not?? That makes NO sense... the cup stays in longer than a tampon and is safer option.
I am going to bring my cup. But just in case, I bought organic cotton products and ship off on July 9.
I like your eyes they are really gorgeous.
I never would have imagined back in 2000 when I joined the AF I would be seeing a video like this.
I plan to go to the Air Force soon and this honestly really helps ❤️☺️
Went in 27 Nov 07. I was too stressed to have a period. And constipation didn’t hit until warrior week. 🤣
I'm retired Air Force and my daughter is considering enlistment. I loved my USAF career and have nothing but good things to say about it, but your videos will offer her the perspective that I could never give as a male - plus, I'm pretty sure things have changed a bit since I went through BMT. I'll definitely be sharing your channel with her! Great video(s)!! Thank you and keep up the great work!
I appreciate that :)
I'm so glad I found this!
I think you're the one who posted advices and experiences of BMT on quora....if so, I loved how friendly you were giving advice and being truthful about it:)
Even in civil air patrol, cadets are never allowed to be alone with the senior members, and i don’t think we’re allowed to be alone with another cadet either
Currently trying to loose weight for the AF and was wondering if there is any tips you had. Btw love this video really calmed me down
find a pdf on basic training requirements
Thinking about joining and these videos are helping me so much.
I’m actually about to join the Navy but your are very informative for all! Thanks 😊
I am young and my brother is in the airforce now I’m searching the airforce to understand and because I miss him
Hi can you tell me something about Air Force Dentistry? More specifically about the scholarship they provide and about how life is after graduation, where we might get deployed and things like that?
I'll try to find a friend who's in dentistry because I have no clue about that career field!
The exact question I have
This is going to be me, next year, at 30 yo. Thank you for making this!
Thank you for posting! Very informative; appreciated your perspective!
Is it really difficult waking up & getting dressed in time? Also, if you’re not keeping up in all of the physical training do you get in trouble or penalized? & one lore thing, how many outfits/changes of clothes should you bring?
Btw, you are very pretty & I love your vibe!
Hi!
I have recently made my decision to join the military and I’m really looking at the AF. It is so true that it’s a lot better to hear things from a females point of view and I feel much comfortable asking you about similar things that we (as women) may encounter. So I seem to notice not ,any women or none at all are asking about razors, tweezers or any facial hair removers, exfoliating gloves, and nail clippers/cuticle clippers. Is that something that is provided to us or is it something we are allowed to bring in? I enjoy a very thorough hygiene regimen and that’s honestly my biggest concern if I do qualify to join the AF.
Thank you so much for the advice! Subscribing immediately!
You will not be provided any hygiene items, except for maybe nail clippers? But I forget. You are allowed to bring your own products. Just note you have a pretty small drawer to store all of your toiletries and what not, so pack accordingly. Girls in my flight brought wax strips for their face, razors, tweezers, nail clippers, etc. All allowed.
Elora Jean That is so good to hear! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. You addressed all my concerns 😍👍🏻✨
Hi Elora, I just found your videos. They are very informative. I wish I had good information like this when I went through BMT way way back in 1978. There was a measles outbreak when i went through. No vaccine yet. I was in the hospital for a couple days but didn't get set back. Kaye
Watching this with my daughter who is intrested in going to the Military...shes not sure of which branch yet
Coast Guard!!
