I was looking for you on Instagram but unable to. You stated you had information there too. Can you provide a link? I want to make sure I get as much information as possible before I decide.

    I have my first deployment in the next two months and as you can see by my picture I’m natural and have been writing down a ton of different hair regimes for my deployment. As well as figuring out what I’m doing with my house.

    • @AirForceNurseAngel
      @AirForceNurseAngel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good luck on your deployment. Definitely do a protective style and bring your staples with you. As far as your house goes…if you’re not PCSing immediately after deployment just have a trusted friend check in on it every so often, pick up your mail etc. :)

    Have there been places to get your hair done where you've deployed? It's weird how much I stress about the hair situation before every military move 😅
    I haven't gone natural or done braids since I was a kid.

    Since you’re active duty.. do you live in “dorms” or do you live on your own?

    • @AirForceNurseAngel
      @AirForceNurseAngel  ปีที่แล้ว

      First term airmen (enlisted) live in the dorms if they are single. Officers do not live in the dorms and can get lodging on or off base depending on where you are stationed and your marital status/dependents.

      Your bah will be used for the condo so your losing out on money but they will pay for a storage unit for one vehicle

    • @AirForceNurseAngel
      @AirForceNurseAngel  ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly. You will keep getting your basic housing allowance but if you were to move out and put your things in storage you can pocket what ever the difference is for your monthly storage fee.

    @jaimeriley1281 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you have recommendations on what type of boxes to ship goods ahead? Tough box? Normal UPS shipping boxes? Sorry. I know it’s a silly question but trying to get packed up and ship what I can so I’m only carrying what I HAVE to have for traveling.

    • @AirForceNurseAngel
      @AirForceNurseAngel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Never a silly question!
      I usually will ship one of each of these. A gorilla box and duffel. It’ll be expensive but worth it in my opinion.
      Hope this helps.
