I'm set on joining USAF. I kid you not, I do have a laughing problem. It's chilidsh I know, but I laugh when I'm not supposed to (When I get hurt, anger, etc) I try to think about something sad to help me not laugh. Hopefully BMT will set me straight lol.
@@RahassonaT Wow lucky! Lmao. See, the yelling part I have to try SO HARD not to smile or laugh. That's my issue when people yell I resort to laughing. But thank you! I watched the video the whole way throughout and it was very informative, I appreciate this!
This is just so interesting to me, im 17 and i’m in the Civil Air Patrol, it’s the auxiliary to the Air Force, and we have something called “Encampment” It’s VERY similar to bmt, but it’s only 1 week long. the yelling and everyday exercise was so new and scary for me at first but it honestly helped me in so many ways and surprisingly i want to continue. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and giving the tips❤️❤️
Watching your video because I’m aiming for airforce I struggle with the test part I’m not that smart and studying does not help em 😢 but proud of you beautiful ❤ thank you for the video !!!
Luv these videos! My daughter went thru Tech School over 6 months ago. Air Force sent her off to the UK for her 1st base tho!😏 Get It! Enjoy the ride while your in!👊🏾🎉
Hiii Thankyou so much this helps a lot and I wanted to know can we bring hair gel in its regular jar or bottle or do we need to put it in a travel bottle?
Do not do the braids long bc your bun can’t be too big (like people shouldn’t be able to see it looking at you, when having you) nor too short where when your hair grows and it’s pass the length they give you.
how’s life since 2 years with your flight? What you doing now like job wise, school wise, or future plans? i feel so lost on how ppl are after the experience like are you still active too?
I am a reservist , I go once a month ! Life is pretty normal for me. I graduated college with my Bachelors in May. I’m currently an STNA and I still talk to a lot of people from my flight
@@RahassonaT I’m contemplating on going into Reserves. I’ve been thinking about it for months now. I think I’m going to take that leap. Just nervous about being accepted in because I’m a little hefty lol. Thank you for sharing ❤.
@@octavia1amazing Thanks for checking in ☺. I honestly have not put any action towards making it happen. I'm still thinking about it though. I am Currently working on getting my weight down and being healthier. It's a big commitment and want to make sure I am making the best decision for me 💘
@@RahassonaT okay another thing, i head Sundays is the only day for like shaving and doing hair and stuff. Is the time limit longer on those days ? Some people told me they didn’t even bother shaving 🤣😭
i wanted to come into the AF with locs. can i bring combs, clips, and gel? and is disneyland an actual dormitory or is it a joke that ppl in the air force say?😂 and last question, can i wear my nose ring at graduation or i can’t wear body piercings no more?
You can bring all of those. Disneyland are the newer nicer dorms. All body jewelry must be removed including nose rings & unfortunately you cannot put them back in until after graduation!!
Hey, thank you for the video. It helped solve some of my questions. I do have one, and if you may, please take a moment to answer. Im going to graduate with BS in Psychology, and im considering joining. I don't know if joing usaf can help me with my career/education goal of becoming a clinical and counseling psychologist.Thank you!
Did anyone wear retainers for their piercings? I know it’s not allowed, but I keep hearing how some people were able to hide it and others say not to wear it at all. Thank you for the video, it is helpful!!😊
A lot of people did hide it, it’s possible to hide it. Or you could take it out before the day starts and put it in before bed. It’s easy to hide a belly ring than it is anything else.
How about nipple and nose piercings? And how did they hide it, if you happen to know. Sorry so much questions, I really appreciate your quick responses!
It’s ok! I’ll be making another video about it. But for nipple it will be easy because you’ll have on a bra etc it just depends on the girls in your flight because there are some people who tell… Why? Idk. But nose will be hard due to the fact that MTI will be in your face and you have open ranks and they look at you from head to toe
@@RahassonaT I lent from the requirement that I have to have only 3 dependent . Please what do you say about that . Or I can still sail through even with this number of dependents . Thank you
Yes but I wouldn’t recommend a sew in because of the sweat when you workout & for the braces I’m not sure I’ve seen people get them after only because you won’t be able to go to your monthly appointments
I got mine when I returned from beast which is a week before graduation then you get it on graduation day but have to turn it back in that night before you leave
@@RahassonaT catholic church service where they eat bread and sip what's supposed to be wine after trying not to fall asleep while the priest is talking. I'm sure Air Force has that if Army does.
@@RahassonaT so would you wake up before everyone else? I’m sorry I’m in the beginning of all my research but I gotta make sure I got my shower time 😭😭
@@Jay-fv1wb no ma’am , in the morning you get up when you hear that loud music over in intercom. You don’t shower until after PT. It was easier at night only bc I was already in the building and we weren’t really getting rushed by our dorm chief. After PT everything is so fast bc you have a lot to do
Since I can’t blow dry my hair , do you think Like they’ll allow me to bring braiding hair on the plane and I save it until somebody could possibly braid my hair?
@@RahassonaT you not wrong about that 😂 like sometimes I would go but it just depended on the day I was having also when I went to basic they didn’t have this one church it was called the gospel and I really wanted to go but my friends told me there was a better church still Christian and I didn’t believe them till one day I went and it was realllyy good 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m glad I went their.
You stuffy for however long but it is a deadline that needs to be met. Your unit will let you know when. Yes you can study at home or while at work as long as your not busy. You just have to take the test in a testing room
Asking you or anyone who reads this, what strong hold hair gel do yall recommend? Particularly a gel that doesn’t leave white cast or gets crusty..thank you🫶
Means a lot to get this video explained clearly by a fellow sister . I am considering , thank you.
You made me feel so much better about going because at first I was so scared. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and advice.

This was such good information, I am considering going and this helped a lot.
This was so informational. Thank you beautiful! 🫶🏾
Love how you explained this!
I wanna join I just don’t wanna get deployed😂 🤣🤣🤣 I’m so conflicted especially with what’s going on in the world
You have to do a little time before getting deployed but it could be chance you would depending on your AFSC
I did get braids when I went in, but don’t do it too small bc you’re pulling your hair tight. However, it did help me.
Nice
Yes! Love the current updates
Can you make a list of things you bought for BMT? I am going next June or August for BMT.
Yes give me a minute ❤️
Things you brought?! The Airforce lets you bring crap?!
The Marine Corps barely lets you have a Bible
@@noahreed4404 oh wow
It’s not crap it’s things you NEED!
Hiii Thankyou so much this helps a lot and I wanted to know can we bring hair gel in its regular jar or bottle or do we need to put it in a travel bottle?
Thanks for the great content I will be going to BMT soon it was very informative ❤✊🏾
No problem❤️
will you make a video on the transition to tech school and what to pack for tech school 🙏
Hey how long you recommend getting the knotless braids as far as length? Do you suggest them being in a bun when you first get there ?
Hey, I wouldn’t get them that long due to you having to wear a bun everyday. You wouldn’t want them heavy. I would say mid back
Do not do the braids long bc your bun can’t be too big (like people shouldn’t be able to see it looking at you, when having you) nor too short where when your hair grows and it’s pass the length they give you.
I didn’t know we could have braids

Thank you !🩷 yes you can! It’s only the males who have to cut their hair
@@RahassonaT thank you for answering 🫶🏾
So you have time to take down your braids on Sundays? I was worried about going in with braids and not being able to take them out.
Yes!
Is there like dividers in the shower ? Or everybody just see everybody goodies ?
Nope, everybody see everybody 😭 after a while you won’t even be worried about it bc of time limits
@@RahassonaT okay another thing, i head Sundays is the only day for like shaving and doing hair and stuff. Is the time limit longer on those days ? Some people told me they didn’t even bother shaving 🤣😭
@@erickamonea The time limit is longer ! For my flight I was able to shave & get my hair done. It all depends on how your MTI or dorm chief is

do you get 10 minutes each to shower or just 10 minutes for all 40 girls?
Yes ma’am. And you have a certain time line to beat. Depending on your MTI but for my flight it was 10minutes 40 girls
but the showering is only for your body and you have a separate amount of time to wash your face and brush your teeth?@@RahassonaT
hi ◡̈ quick question. when do they give you your last phone call home? is it a week prior to graduation?
