      Diva lifestyle first of all you will get paid more, you will have to have your child live with someone while you are at basic and techschool. After training you will get a house on base for you and your family!

      This is not true!!! The question is are you married? If the answer is yes then you’ll be able enlist & have your husband AND child go. If you are not married, then you will have to LEGALLY give up custody of your child to join.

    • @juliansutton1908
      @juliansutton1908 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Also you will not get paid more! I assume sir Dean is an E-1/E-2. You will receive BAH & BAS ( food & housing ) your base pay will stay the same.

      www.airforce.com/frequently-asked-questions/personal/can-i-give-up-custody-of-my-dependents-to-enlist-in-the-air-force
      It clearly states that it is illegal to relinquish custody of your child just to enter the AF.
      You will need to arrange care, but they will be cover medically, you will get paid, housing (BAH), and BAS.
      Look up BAH calculator on Google and use your ZIP code to determine how much it is.
      Please talk to a recruiter as they will be able to better assist in coordinating the Power of Attorneys and other legal paperwork required.

    TIP: deposit the “food voucher” (really a check) into your bank account through your app. And just buy what you want to eat with you’re card and pocket the difference.

You’ll definitely be challenged but once you get the hang of how things work, you’ll be good. Hopefully they’ll put you in the best squadron in bmt which is the 320th!

    Good job explaining it! I went through quite a few years ago and it doesn't sound like it has changed at all. It certainly was an adventure.
    My biggest Air Force mistake was getting out. So please, if you are still in, _stay in._ If you get out, you will regret it. The Air Force takes very good care of its people. Don't give that up.
    Take care and thanks for the video! It brought back some memories.

    Advice: Retake ASVAB if need be to get the Job you really want! Pick list up to 10 but needs of the Air Force comes first!
    Get in shape don't wait for Basic (Big DUH)
    Week 0 is shock week, week 1 get your shit together, week two tighten up, week 3 you got this, week 4 Oh shit combat training, week 5 Lets have some fun!, week 6 down hill, week 7 Lets finish this shit already!
    1st day is very long - when you get to Lackland you will be tired but time for shock and awe - first night 4-6 hours rest only and up 0 dark thirty hours and up and at them.
    We have a saying in the Air Force - Hurry up and wait!
    2 reasons they rush you when you get to Base is a lot of processing to do and get you squared away by the TI's and the Shock factor to let you know your there and time to get with it!
    Mep's - Rest Rest Rest! Your going to need it!

That was the last break we got, lol. MSgt Prado and Tech Sgt Bassinger. I’ll never forget them, and I don’t miss them a bit! Worst thing about basic for me was the bats. I hate bats, lol.

    We had older Trainees talk to us, too. Whole Flights, a week or so ahead of us, would go marching by in formation, chanting very sympathetically: "Rainbow, Rainbow, don't be sad. The second week is twice as bad. SOUND OFF. One two. SOUND OFF. Three four. Bring it on down now. One two three four one two, THREE FOUR!!"
    And very uplifting, spirit-raising messages too. Like: "Rainbow, Rainbow, don't be blue. My T I is ugly too. SOUND OFF. One two..."
    And, looking out for our best interests, they'd caution us about the worst that was yet to come to them, so far: The VD inoculation. A square needle in the left nut. {The WHAT!?!} LOL

    Not much has changed since 79. I was a156th got as 3703 in what y'all know as the old dorms. Mine was torn down last year. It would be 323rd now. When I came in no one was with me. I got left on the quad for hours no food or water. Someone forgot to tell my squadron I was there. Lol alarm.

      No need to be nervous, Be fit before you go. Be serious and think of it like this. It is BASIC not Advanced. Meet the minimum but strive for the top.
      key things to know-
      1. Memorize reporting statement
      2.when it comes to shower kit - two of everything - one for inspection the other to use!
      3. Never ever take your security drawer key from your neck ever! Never leave that drawer
      unattended - this will get you washed back!
      4.Remember to have fun doing all of this - only comes once so remember it - goes really fast.
