Oooh girl this hair change, length and all! Glad you’re doing well! Happy holidays! Edit: You’re right the environment and morale make the biggest difference. I’ll be honest. There was a reason the Hill position didn’t work out (I don’t recommend the people!). I think the wording you were looking for is strength training! Life and health is always a rollercoaster. Thank you for bringing awareness to the fact that ups and downs are normal.
Thank you for sharing all this with us!! Mental health is so important especially in the military and I’m glad you got help and I hope you’re doing better a year later 🙏🏼 you always share the real stuff and I appreciate you and your perspective
Not in the Air Force myself but I feel like I’m part of the family as a wife. As someone who’s had and recovered from an eating disorder, I wish you the best in your recovery. It’s so important that you went to get seen despite your fears and I’m glad to hear that you can get the help without it interfering with your career. Just remember you’re a beautiful human being inside and out and you have positively impacted so many people 💗
Hi there !!! Been following and watching your videos since 2018. I joined the AF back in 2019 and it’s going to be 2 years since I joined already time do fly and I’m super happy and excited for you to be a staff this is such an awesome accomplishment. Can’t wait to see what you do next 😊
Elora, I am so impressed with your videos. You tell folks so much valuable information. Although I'm a Vietnam era vet. I wish we had had access to such information when I was in. My youngest daughter will be heading to BMT in January, (She is so excited). You have made the transition so much easier for her. and pitting in in a Woman's perspective is excellent. You tell the truth in your videos and don't sugar coat it, and make them realize in so many ways that, although its the military, you run across the same kind of people as in a civilian job, and many of the same obstacles. And as any job, there are good days and bad days. Your explanations of BMT are excellent. No one knows what to expect in BMT You deserve many Ku-do's. If you would let me I would be honored to sent your Commander a letter, stating the way you are honoring the AF and explain the AF way of life in such a great manner. Gary Blanks Tsgt USAF, Retired
Thanks for the update! I have fond memories of my NCO Leadership training (at least that's what it was called back in 1990) that I did while stationed at Gwanju Air Base, South Korea. Thanks for sharing about your mental health. It SO important to talk about this openly to reduce the stigma. It's a huge step in just becoming aware of these issues. Using exercising as a coping tool is a super-healthy way of managing stress. I have had similar eating disorder issues and used exercise to cope with it, but not perfectly of course. Thanks for your honesty. PS Please tell us about your pets (I think I saw a cat...and a dog?). Thanks for your response.
Over the past few days I’ve been watching your channel non stop the bmt one the story times and all and I was just wondering earlier today where you were lol. I just want you to know that you’re a big reason why I’ve enlisted.
A mental health issue won’t get you kicked out unless it makes you undeployable for an extended period. I actually sought out mental health while deployed and stayed deployed while getting therapy and now that I’m home I’m still in therapy over a year after I started.
Keep up the good work! 6 days a week is not bad if you pace yourself. Just don't go hard every day. I workout 6, sometimes 7 days a week. Bad food once in a while is not going to make or break you. Just do more good than bad and you'll get the hang of it :) you got it!
thank you for opening up about your relationship with food and your body! i struggled before the military but it seems that the culture has made it worse. i have also been working out more consistency and it makes me feel way better than cookies lol
Welcome back! Just for the record I grew up going to Kirtland in Albuquerque, New Mexico and its an awesome place and base 😂 I think you’d actually love all the sunshine and outdoor activities 🤗 congrats on staff sergeant!
Welcome back girl and congrats on graduating ALS and making distinguished graduate! Have you visited the nutritionist on base? I was paying a girl for a couple of months to get my macros and it kind of seemed like I plateaued and she didn't seem to care to navigate me towards my goals. I recently saw the nutritionist on base and she gave some really good advice! I think this might help you with having a better relationship with food! I know I struggle with tendencies of binge eating sometimes when I don't have a plan. That's the biggest game changer is when you have a plan you're less likely to fail. And the workout thing! 6 times a week is a little excessive for sure and sets you up to burn out quicker, especially if you aren't looking to compete in something. Maybe use two days of your week for a self care day? I hope all is well and can't wait to see more videos in the future and see your progress both physically and mentally!
Girl, I totally understand that you’re more concerned about the people involved in a new shop vs the base you actually end up at because I’m stationed in Colorado and yeah it’s beautiful but my leadership is not it, to say the very (very) least. Anyway, congrats on Staff & I hope you get to experience a new assignment soon!
When I was in the Air Force all you had do was go and change your dream sheet every day. They eventually get tired of updating the system and before your know it you have orders some where else.
Any help pleaseeeeee I keep on getting shins splints I have been trying to get in shape for a year now but the shin splints keep coming back!! I’m down 40lbs and I have 30 left to go pleaseee any tips
potassium it helped me so much in bananas and I tried new running shoes. also a lack of water can cause them try to hydrate as much as you can. roll your shins out after each run I use my water bottle
Hey friend, something you might try is like a private counseling service like better health or something like that, just to help you out finding balance and help with the emotions and such friend. I hope you are doing better
You would’ve been a perfect fit for the F35 job because of what you do. Keep applying for all special duty assignment and I’m sure you will get something. Maybe try Postal duty overseas???
13:20 Don't be afraid to get diagnosed, it's better that it is known than discovered later as a surprise to anybody I'd say. Everybody has a way of dealing with stress whether that is alcohol, smoking, or ice cream. Frankly eating is the best one out of those demons because you can always increase your energy output but cigarettes have no anti-effector if that makes any sense. Edited to add: Mine is smoking, and frankly cigarettes never stopped looking delicious. 😄
I struggled with an earring disorder for 8 years been in recovery for 5 ! Over exercising is just as dangerous ! If u need anyone to talk message me !!
Hey queen! I’ve done a ton of research and had my first meeting with my recruiter yesterday. There’s a lot to think about and I feel pretty torn about how to feel. Could I privately message you details and you give me personal advice please? Or a facetime/ call if that is easier for you. Miss seeing more content!
I really hope you get to leave the base!!! Did you ever do a BOP? Congrats on SSGT!!!!! Yay. I'm so glad you are in way better spirits and feeling better 🤗🤗
Mental heath is a serious assessment in the military and has to be accounted for over the readiness of an individual. I believe an eating disorder in most cases is a behavioral modification. Elora Jean is well on her way to correcting to what was making her feel down about her self.

There’s too many damn Mormons around Hill AFB. I’m allowed to say that because I am one.

Congratulations SSgt!!
Great video! I was a SSgt my last two years in Air Force. I think SrA is the best rank to be in the AF.
Over the past few days I’ve been watching your channel non stop the bmt one the story times and all and I was just wondering earlier today where you were lol. I just want you to know that you’re a big reason why I’ve enlisted.

I’m stationed at grand forks!! Holy cow you just said that and I’m so excited to know my fav Air Force TH-cam is here!!!

Hi when you join AF, do you have AA degree or HS, that way you get promotion to Staff Sergeant.

You look like Nicky Parsons from Jason Bourne- and it’s working 👌🏾 congratulations again even though you’ve probably grown out of this channel 😕😂
You are brilliant, so fun to watch.

If you were to be stationed overseas what would happen to your dog? Would you be able to bring them with?
I really hope you get to leave the base!!! Did you ever do a BOP? Congrats on SSGT!!!!! Yay. I'm so glad you are in way better spirits and feeling better 🤗🤗
Also we are mission essential! But we have moved to half days. Just for info 🙂
Anyone going to Air Force BMT tomorrow morning lol
Good luck! you’ll do great
Becareful with overexercising. A type of disorder is COE- compulsive over exercising. 👍 I have some experience.
Girl, apply for the Honor Guard, we need people! You'll be stationed in DC
It’s sad that in the military they hold mental health over your head, so instead of getting help so many let it fester!
