I LOVE your glasses! Those are so cute were you able to pick those out at basic? One thing I was worried about was how I’m not going to be able to wear my contacts anymore, and having to wear BCGs. 🤣😅 but I did hear they give people a few more options for eyewear now
Thank you! So you can't wear contacts and you don't get to choose your frames, but as soon as I graduated from basic, you're able to wear your own glasses or contacts even while at tech school. It's only temporary so don't worry about it lol. I got my frames at America's Best and just brought them with me
@@kittyinc thank you so much! Also did they already have your prescription on deck? Or are they going to do an eye exam for a new prescription at bmt or meps?
@@yungnessis6988 So, you can bring your own prescription in with you from home. If you do that, they will just do some measurements to make sure they give you a pair of glasses to fit your face. If you don't bring in a prescription, then they will do an eye exam for you before giving you glasses. No problem, hope this helps!
@@kittyinc thank you so much I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me! I leave for basic April 26th and I’m 4R0X1. Im super excited and seeing your videos are really motivating. Keep going girl I’m routing for you!!😎☺️☺️
@@yungnessis6988 Thank you for supporting my channel! I'm sure you'll do great in basic. Once you get use to the schedule, the days will start to fly by and it will be like second nature to you. 4R I believe is also here at Ft. Sam. You get more freedom here at tech school so it'll be a nice change after being use to the bmt schedule. But thank you again for taking the time to watch my videos! So glad I can help keep you motivated. I'll be rooting for you too
So far it has been good. I think the key for my relationship has been to keep each other updated on what's going on with our schedule, when we can and can't talk, and making sure we make time at the end of the day for a facetime chat. It's understandable to be worried about how it will impact your relationship, but as long as you both are able to communicate openly and be understanding with a new schedule, I'm sure your relationship will still thrive. Make sure that when you're done with tech school, you two make plans on taking days off so you can visit each other (^_^)
How was the process like moving to tech school? I've heard that the first few weeks you're only restricted to stay on base. I am wondering If you are able/ have time to go back to your hometown and grab stuff I would need for tech school like civilian clothes/ laptop etc and possibly bring back my own car.
So unfortunately, you are sent straight from BMT to your tech school location. Each base differs with their set of rules so it all depends on where you're going to be stationed at for tech school. For instance, my tech school did not allow me to leave base until I completed my requirements to phase up. My suggestion would be to have anything you really want/need shipped to you from home. As for the car, it all depends on your MTL's and if they allow it or not. But, you're more than likely going to have to get someone to drive it down to your base. I was lucky enough to be at tech school during EXODUS so if I wanted to drive back in my car, that would have been allowed. Definitely check with your supervisors first before bringing your car to your tech school. Hope this helps!
Hey! Was your family/boyfriend able to bring your tech school suitcase to graduation or does it absolutely have to be shipped out? Thank you!! Love your videos
Heya! So we aren’t able to grab anything from family on graduation day unfortunately. I was lucky enough to be going just 30mins away from Lackland to Fort Sam and it just so happened that one of the MTLs there decided to give us a pass to let family on base for the weekend. Then my boyfriend was able to come on base with the pass and give me my suitcases. He stood in Texas one day after my BMT graduation. If it wasn’t for this, I would’ve had him ship it. If I were you, I’d try to confirm with my MTLs at my tech school if there’s a way you can grab your stuff from them before asking them to ship it to you (if your family/friends decide to stay past your graduation day and your tech school is close by). Hope I explained this well enough for you!
@@kittyinc Thank you so much!! This helped a lot, my tech school is actually right where you’re at !! So we’ll see what my family decides, if not they’ll ship it out ! Thank you and best of luck with everything
Also remember ... no electronics will be allowed back in the dorm at BMT after graduation, so unless you clear it with your MTI to store it somewhere ... don't bring it ... have it shipped to you
@@BritgirlTXU can have ur phone back after bmt ! And you do have ur phone during bmt week four and six to tell about when graduation is and during that time we can tell them To ship our things !!
Are you allowed to bring stuff with you to after or before basic to the dorm ? Or do is it after AI ? You can bring personal items? I am confused on when you can do that transition - I am going active and I am trying to figure out when I can bring my personal items like iPad, camera, etc
Heya! So I packed these suitcases before I left for basic and since my tech school was only 30 mins down the road, so I asked my boyfriend to bring them for me since he was coming to my BMT graduation. If you have a tech school that’s further away, it’ll be a bit more tricky but you can always have someone ship it to you.
@@jaslyn5501 Going in at a later age for me has been fine physically. Having life experience outside the military helps with professionalism in my opinion (not saying young folks aren’t professional, just saying I have more job experience). There are some days I wish I would’ve came in sooner because I would have been halfway through my career by now but I have no regrets. I knoooowww I need to do an update, just been lazy about it honestly. So much going on I would like to share with you all! Thank you for supporting!! 🫶🏼
That is so awesome to hear! I’m so glad things are going well and that you have no regrets! And yes, having already worked in a professional setting for years will definitely have its advantages. I think I’m mostly anxious about having to live in barracks due to no dependents after having my own apartment for years 🙃 Thank you for reaching out and I can’t wait for an update! 💙
Yessss! That’s so exciting, to be done with BMT and onto tech school. Congrats!! Everything is going great. I’ve been at my base for 2 weeks now. I’ve got some editing to do but I’ll have new content soon. I hope you’re enjoying Ft Sam so far ☺️
@@kittyinc That’s good girl. Right now, it’s kinda boring because I have to phase up to enjoy it better. In regards to the pt appraisal, is it still the air force standards or is it lower since its an appraisal. Where are you stationed also?
@@kebreannalasha I feel that. But you can phase up in as little as 3 weeks. Just make sure you pass your room inspections, attend those airmanship classes, and don't forget to get your teacher and MTL to sign your lil card they give you because you can't phase up without it. When I was at Ft Sam, I always did my uniform inspections at the beginning of the month to get it over with too. The PT standards are still the same that the AF has. You can look them up. But, they offer other exercises such as hand release push ups and reverse cross leg sit ups instead of the normal exercises you did at BMT. I would play around and see what works best for you. I'm stationed in Missouri currently :')
My tech school was about 30mins from BMT so I packed my suitcases before leaving for BMT and I asked my boyfriend if he can bring them to my new base where my tech school was located.
How did you get the job of 4nox1, that’s what I want to do because I already have a few certifications but my recruiter it’s kinda shutting it down saying that I won’t be able to get a medical job and that if I do I will be waiting over a year
Hello! So after I took the Asvab, I met up with my recruiter who had a list of jobs I qualified for. Each job is rated a color which shows if it has many openings (so it’s easier to get assigned to that job) or if it has not so many (more difficult to get assigned). Each recruiter also gets a list of jobs that they are currently hiring for. It just so happened that my recruiter had an opening for 4N0 and it was my number one job. If it’s something you really wanna do, I would wait until it’s available. There are also other medical jobs you can choose from.
@@kittyinc so once you got your job list how long did it take to get your job/did you have to wait in the dep. also if you could do more videos on how it is being a 4n
@@michaelhalko3530 After making my list of which jobs I wanted, I probably waited for about a month before getting the call for which job I received. I was in DEP for a total of about 4 months. I was lucky to not be in for so long, but I do know some people who were in DEP for over a year before receiving the job they wanted. I can definitely do a video to go more in depth about my job. Thank you for your interest!
They told my Airman the same thing. She went in Open General with the hope of getting a medical job. Nope. They said there were no medical jobs. She ended up getting an ADMIN job. Somehow Admin and General are together ... UGH. Anyway, she was just happy she didn't get Services. People were getting Medical jobs but not her. Also she wanted to go to UK and they said no openings in UK and one of her dorm mates at BMT got UK. Oh well. She graduated pre-Covid and finished tech school Jan 2020 and of course Covid started around March 2020 when they started housing them at Lackland. ... so ... I guess it was for the best. UK was locked down for a long time.
My wife will be going here once completing BMT for the Aerospace Med Service training. Where are the most likely places we’d be stationed at once tech school is done?
There’s no simple answer to this question as you will be placed wherever the military needs your services. Just remember that while in tech school, you have the opportunity to trade orders to possibly end up somewhere you would prefer if someone is willing to do so.
Hey. My Tech School is at Fort Sam. So would it be a good idea to have my family bring my suitcase down with extra clothes, laptop, etc. and I just get it from them Friday when I arrive to Tech School?
Where did you get those white electronic chords hope you know which ones I'm talking about the ones that are in that drawer that you were mentioning about? Where did you buy them from?
@@seitz2229 okay yes, those are USB ports for my laptop. So it’s a set of 4 but it only takes up one USB port on your laptop. All 4 of them are connected to one port so you can plug in multiple things. For example, how I mentioned I use it to plug in my mouse and my cac at the same time. I’m pretty sure I bought them from target but I don’t necessarily remember. But I buy a lot of things from target so I would say that’s where they’re from.
@@seitz2229 I don’t order off of Amazon very often. I like to see what I’m buying in person. But, I did make a huge order of things off of Amazon for my car that’s waiting for me when I get home! I’m hoping to film a video for you all about it 😊
BMT wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. After you get use to the schedule, everything else becomes pretty easy. Don’t be nervous, you can definitely get through it!
