- Hi guys! I’m back and I’m now at my new dorm at Minot Air Force Base, ND. Wanted to take you guys on the day I got here and how I rearranged my dorm to my liking. Just trying to make my new home feel like home.
If anyone has any ideas on what more I could do with my dorm leave some suggestions down in the comments!
You could get that nose ring out and act like a friggin soldier. Kids today..........
@@noherekruger3738 jajaj I’m not a soldier bud 🤡🫡
First what is that in your nose? That is not government issue! Pictures for the wall would be nice along with hard wood flooring.
Now i understand why we say the AF is pampered😅 she got twice the room, a place that doesn't look like a prison block, and a personal bathroom🥲
Right! You'd be surprised how many people still complain.
Nothing pampered about -60 wind-chill lol. Bully
@@MrBigHoss who hurt you?
@@alexgroenewold3580 you think I called you a bully? Theodore Roosevelt used that word to describe something he liked, he is also like an unofficial mascot for Minot AFB. It's one of those you have to witness it to understand it lol
Thanks for this video. I spent two years at Minot in the late 70’s as a missile technician and will never forget it. Good luck on your time in the Air Force and thank you for your service. Stay warm!
I’m glad the next generation of Airman are getting to enjoy the new dorms at Minot AFB!
I was stationed there in 2004 and the dorms were old and we had to share bathrooms!
I was in the dorm right across the street from security forces and right next chow hall! The only thing I miss about Minot is the people I met! I don’t miss the below zero temps or plugging my car in during the winter months 😂
Just filled out my app and waiting to be contacted. I’m excited for the journey, and benefits!
Also when you were building that shoe rack I peep Rex Orange County^^ A1 song 🥲
More plants! 🪴 ✨ Maybe positive or uplifting quotes around the room 😊
I’ve gotten two more plants and propagated my pothos three times 🤎 not much plants up here in the north unfortunately.
makes me so excited to get boot camp done with and deploy , thank you for the video
Hope you’re enjoying your journey!
Hey wingman thanks for the video!! I got Minot as my first duty station and was a bit sad I didn’t get to go overseas, but after seeing this video I’m more excited about going! I’ll be there in May :))
Don’t let it get you down! I know how it feels especially getting other peoples inputs but it’s what you make of it. That’s good you’ll be here when the weather gets warmer tho! A lot of events will be happening so you can experience:)
This was a nice video ❤️
i peep the grimes i see ya🔥💯 and a dorm with your own bathroom cant beat that
Wow. Much nicer than we had in 1983. When I was there, I clearly remember the night they told is that females would now be able to choose MOS 81150 and not just law enforcement. 👍🏻
I was in AF 1966 to 70. Security police. Yes im that old. Our barraks had 3 guys to a room. No bath or toilet or air cond. Sure has changed.
Welcome to Minot lol it aint that bad once you get used to the cold. Def make the best of it as much as you can and really get yourself out there. Been here a year and honestly, coming from a big city i thought I'd hate it but we vibin
Naw that base sucked 🤣
It was freezing cold from October til May!
The people I met there was the only highlight when I was stationed there! Being a minority at Minot AFB was a challenge! Do you know how hard it was for myself and others to get a decent haircut!
Wow I left minot the day you posted this. Good luck, try to stay warm. Heard it’s especially cold this winter.
Are all the rooms without roommates and do you know if security forces gets roommates
Changed a lot since the early 90s when I was there.
obsessed with this!!!!! this would definitely be me, having plants in my dorm haha
So worth it!! and very much needed!
Girl you’re in ND 😳 you gotta lmk how you like it!!
And yesss we want vlogmas 🙌
I would say you could get some wallpaper or a colorful rug to add some color to your dorm 💘☺️
I was thinking of a rug!! I finally got my mail box so definitely gonna order some stuff ❤️
It's a new chapter, have fun, make the best of it. I can give you some tips on the assignment game if you want
I leave for Minot on Thursday, thanks for this
Nice! I hope you enjoy it here! Stay positive! Good thing you came after the terrible weather!!
I ship out the 24th for boot camp! So excited !!
Good luck and have fun! Don’t take anything personal. It’ll be hard but you’ll understand. Take it one day at a time!
Good luck!
Hey! I love your videos about your experience! Can you please do a video about bmt? I’m thinking about joining but I’m hesitant about BMT😊😂
Don't be afraid of boot camp, it is pretty easy nowadays, compared to the way it was when I joined in 85.
i leave for boot camp on the 28th for security forces!! 😁 so excited
Good luck !! 🍀
How are you doing so far?
Omg i used to live there!
We used to say "Why Not Minot" enjoy your time.
We still use that phrase
Hi, Please say about the ASVAB exam process please?
Having a roommate is required for tech school(correct?), but when you begin your career, do you move out and locate a new base without a roommate? Like how does it work?
I went through tech school without a roommate basically the whole way but I just got lucky! But yes usually you have a roommate and then at your first base I’ve noticed you have your own dorm but you share a kitchen with people or you live in a quad and share the kitchen with only 4 people.
I have a question so if i lived somewhere before moving into the dorm and i have things to go into the room will my parents be able to ship it to me? I also have a lizard so would i have to leave that with my parents until im out of school?
Well it depends on what base because from what I’ve know no reptiles here on Minot AFB. But with your stuff your parents could definitely send you stuff
I’m in tech school and Just got assigned to minot I’ll probably be there some time in April or may I think
You’ll be here when it starts to get warmer!
No locks for your room? Anyone can just barge in?
“Oh it’s 69, nice” 🤣🤣
I’m headed to Minot in 2 months from Germany! What is there to do for fun?
Going out to the bars with your friends! There’s this good wing/bar place me and my buddies have gone twice now and it’s nice. Asides from that there isn’t much with the cold (I’m not use to it yet)
Hey wingman ! Any advice I’m SECFO too and got Minot I’m dreading it !! I hate the cold ! Lol any tips and tricks ?
👀👀👀
Can you please make more videos about the air force
Been trying to work on it! Just been busy unfortunately
How do you like it so far? I’ll be there in January
It reallly cold. It’s a must to make friends or even just a friend. Thankfully I know a decent amount of people from tech school here :).
Thanks for sharing how long did u stay there?
I was in the dorms for 7 months :)
Am I going to get a room like this once I am stationed at Minot afb?
These are the new dorms ! It’ll honestly just depend! I didn’t get to pick
How’s the internet & weather in minot? I’m going there in June when i finish tech school at Sheppard
It’s cold it’s -19 right now and feels like -34 but it honestly doesn’t feel bad but feels nice kinda. Internet is good I recommend getting SRT it’s a company and the first three months are free! But cellphone service is terrible.
@@mariselakapps thank you so much! Yeah i have terrible service here at Sheppard doesn’t seem like it’ll change while I’m at an airforce base & sheesh I’m from Florida I’m not ready for that North Dakota winter 😭
@@juanpelegrino1245 yea I’m from Florida too. It’s an adjustment but you’ll be wearing shorts in 20 degree weather in no time. It’s crazy. But hey at-least you’ll come whenever it’s summer.
@@mariselakapps true true I’ll have time to get the appropriate clothing & shit i have more faith since you’re saying that maybe do a base tour or like a local area tour for the next video when you get the chance?
@@juanpelegrino1245 I’ve been in the process but I was told to talk with public affairs before I do a base tour. But I do want to make a off base one I’m going out more since I’ve made friends on flight. They’re in the works for now probably be up before you get here. What’s your afsc?
Shorty got minot 😂😂😂😂
Katy:”yuck boys!”
how did you have ur septum in the military
Remove it in uniform or yk… u could flip it up
i got it when i was in tech school and i just have it flipped in uniform.
How's Minot so far? I've heard mixed opinions about the base
Personally so far I like it. It’s really cold but if you know how to layer it’s not a problem (for now) I’ve been here 4 days so I can’t really say much either lol. Just in processing which isn’t bad.
@@mariselakapps What did u have on ur dream sheet?
I had very few bases which was a mistake and they were all stateside. If I could go back I honestly would’ve done anything over seas and 0 stateside.
@@mariselakapps I'm in tech school right now for VM but I'm going to get stationed in minot in a month and a half-ish, maybe we will cross paths but for my dream sheet I put all overseas and no stateside and they gave me minot, but watching videos like this get me excited! I know there's not a lot to do but I def plan on quite a few road trips to nearby states and hopefully Canada lmao
@@mariselakapps how many choices do you get? I was under the assumption that you get 8 conus and 8 oconus. Please advise!
It’s been 5 months what’s the update of what’s happening
I’m currently uploading a video of a park here but I’m trying !! Been busy 😭
what’s your job in the Air Force ?
Security Forces
How is minot so far I should be there in 3 weeks
You will be here in good timing of the weather! But I honestly I liked the time I came because I got to experience the winter so I know what to expect! But I like it it’s starting to warm up, snow is melting, and that just means more going out!
what is your mos
I just got my assignment to minot today how is it??
I’m enjoying it ! That’s me personally though. It’s cold but you get over it after a couple of months. People here are great. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Don’t let other people put their input on this base who haven’t been here.
@@mariselakapps okay sounds good! I will try to make the best of it even though I’m not a fan of the cold really but glad to hear you like it!
@@award7802 I hate the cold. I’m from Florida so I’m still adjusting to this. But hey it could be worse
@@mariselakapps yeahhh true, you could be in Alaska or something 😭 but what part of Florida are you from i lived in Florida for some time in my life!
Do you get to use your own car?
My main question is when do you actually get to use your personal items as far as tech and travel and even visiting family? I’m thinking about joining but I want to do my research first
Yes! I got my car shipped here to ND and didn’t have a car in tech school. You could visit family if they’re near by in tech school but you can’t take leave in tech school. But once you’re officially at your first duty station you can use leave as much as you’d like (as much leave dates you have) and use your car.
Hey! Thank you for your service in the air force and for making these awesome videos! I have a request for your next video. Is there any way you demonstrate the stationary movements like attention, parade rest (front and rear views) and the facing movement. I think it will give your subscribers a first taste on what the air force is like by seeing its basic movements done and I think it would be really cool! If you do this, can you record your whole body (for each angle of the position as well) since different things happen simultaneously throughout the whole body. Thank you for hearing me out and I hope you can do this!
Did you need permission to upload this? Thinking about making one myself
What is you job?
Security Forces
Is this living on base or tech school?
This is at Minot afb ! :) I have a video of me leaving tech school and it’s a glimpse of the male dorms (jail house) at the time they had the males and females living together.
freakin hua
ur allowed to have nose piercings ??
Yes! Just when you’re in uniform it doesn’t show.
did u have your piercing during bmt? if so did flipping it work out smoothly or did u get a retainer for that time?@@mariselakapps
Lol I have a friend named Marisela but anyways I came to the comment section because I noticed a little penis guy beside you houseplant. I’m crying. Okay that’s all 😭😭
Who did you piss off at Lackland to get sent to why not Minot. Everyone who has ever served in the Air Force knows to stay away from Minot.
People who never been here say that, only the best come north 🤘🏽
@@mariselakapps lol, sorry I was CCT and stationed at McChord, and then plenty of sandy places with no water and definitely no fun in the sun.
Only a man
