Something I learned in Basic Training that I will take to OTS is Insoles for boots. You're going to be marching a lot, get a decent pair of insoles so your feet won't hurt as much when your standing/marching for long periods of time.
@12:40 good to know about the socks/shoes, but how far do they have you running each day? Can you give an example of day to day, say like 5am 15-minute run, 1pm 20-minute run, etc.?
Are there hotels nearby for family members to stay in when they come to attend graduation or is there on-base lodging they can use? Thanks for an awesome video! I'm heading to COT in less than a month so this is very helpful! :)
How was sundays at basic like? As a believer? I've been thinking of joining the airforce im going into my senior year of high-school but was wondering if I join do I have time to read the word and write and pray
You can also drive your POV if your local and just say that your local and fill out the paperwork. I hope this was helful in any way size or form or whatever the saying is. like killing one bird with 2 stones or smacking off to a dead horse or somethin in thos lines.
I want to be a doctor but dont know how to go about it. I want to be an officer so i can make more money while working and saving and still taking classes while im in the military. It would be ideal to sign for 4 years and work on classes as much as i can while im in . I want to save while I am in to buy real estate. I would still become a doctor in the long run but I would live on base the entire time to save. Yes, no if ands or buts. any advice? Should i get my associates first? before I join? I am getting my degree in biology (includes chem)
Hi! I came across your channel while looking up packing lists for COT! Could you receive mail during COT? If so, can your family send you things in large packages? (i.e. care packages or larger boxes that can hold a backpack)? Does this make you stand out and get yelled out for receiving these larger packages in the mail? Thanks!
Hello, I’m currently a senior in college at Ashford University and I’m going getting a degree in Early Childhood Education so basically becoming a teacher. I have a 3.2 gpa right now. I haven’t decided if I’m joining the Navy or the Air Force as an like officer. I’m just wondering if you think the Air Force will take a teacher as an officer/ if I have a good chance? My mom and her Air Force friends said I shouldn’t have a problem but I’m a little nervous.
I love this! I'm an experienced MSN,BSN and this is exactly what I'm doing! (BUT I wanted to be a pilot....), do you think I'm best off sticking with nursing?
I have a question about the rank in the ABUS? and Do I buy them before?.Also for the blues do we use pants or skirt? Thank you for the information. ps: your highlighter is on fleek.
I’m upset with You tube because I didn’t get my notification when this video went live...? I’m definitely subscribed and notifications are on. Anyways! This video is very helpful. Information is hard to find, especially for COT. What hair gel would you recommend that will hold up in the heat, and with taking off/putting on a hat all day? Also, I love your makeup! Would this look/colors be something I could wear with uniform?
Use eco gel! But i had a hard time keeping my hair down due to sweat and hat on/off all day. For makeup, yes but dont make it as bold as me... there will be people quick to tell you your out of regs other wise lol
It was good and random like heavy meat and light sides. Typical cafeteria food...I remember avoiding the fish and anything that looked like its been sitting lol
Are you able to bring more than one bag? Or just one? I want to plan and dont know if toiletries would be too large. Also, backpack, printer, etc. does it all have to be packed into one?
I would bring either one large bag or two! They dont care how much you bring. I packed most of my things in one bag but i ran out of toiletries quickly, so bring full size :)
What all do they ‘take away’ from you when get there? I know I can’t be the only one who absolutely has to wash, tone, and moisturize the face twice a day because of oily skin lol...do they let you keep skin care and face products? I went through enlisted bmt quite a few years ago and they took this kind of stuff from us. Thanks and your video was really helpful!
Hey, great question! They don't take anything away per say but you turn in your suitcases of civilian clothes after a few days. I have the same skincare routine and I kept all my products :). If you went through enlisted BMT then this will be a little easier physically!
@@VeronicaLuke Ok She has a Ipad with a keyboard that she does all her work for medical school on. what would be the advantage of a laptop over the Ipad be? i just want to know when she asks me that
Katia De La Torre Yes, I believe reading statements from the airforce website. You are allowed to use contacts or any eyewear that corrects your vision.
I brought one huge one lol! Nope, they dont really care lol but I didnt want to lug around two suitcases. But honestly, they lock them up when you get there, about day 2.
Bring an Xbox and once ur in library or freedom then ur able to ask ur instructors to request permission to execute "xbox time" and if you live local u can request a chit to be able to sleep at the comfort of your home instead with a bunch of weirdos. Then you can come in early in the morning 15 min prior to 15 min before the day begins. lol

Yes I didnt have insoles and my feet hurt so bad!!!!
Do you have a brand you recommend?
You are absolutely gorgeous love 😍 You’re doing such an awesome job, keep up great the work !!

One year from finishing my nursing program and highly considering joining the Air Force as so much of my family has and it means a lot to me

thank you lol! You cant buy ranks at the same time!. I suggest pants unless all the other girls have a skirt. lol
I meant can***********

I'm a bit confused. Does this list reign true for OTS in the beginning (TFOT), or just the 4 week COT training?
Your hair is soooo pretty! I am thinking of getting the small twist for COT, will they fit under the hat? Do you have to be able to fit them in a bun?
Can you use a regular master lock instead of combo? I hate those! 😑
Can you bring supplements?? This is a huge thing for me.
Thank you so much for being so helpful. I was wondering what kind of food do they serve at the DFAC?
It was good and random like heavy meat and light sides. Typical cafeteria food...I remember avoiding the fish and anything that looked like its been sitting lol

How much running did you do? What was the pt test like if you still have to do it?
The normal amount maybe three times a week... I hate running. The PT test is exhausting but goes by fast :) I recommend practicing before you take it
What all do they ‘take away’ from you when get there? I know I can’t be the only one who absolutely has to wash, tone, and moisturize the face twice a day because of oily skin lol...do they let you keep skin care and face products?

Thank you! You’ve been a big help!
Did they make you buy the cadet rankings there or did you come with the 2lt bars already?
cadet is only for the academy. you will need to get regular officer ranks
What does COT stand for?
I was somehow unsubscribed from the channel 🤔 I'm happy to see another OTS/COT video !
Are dreadlocks permitted in the Air Force?
they are now :)
My GF is going to COT next week and I'm helping her get ready for it. You mentioned to bring a laptop, but will a Ipad work also?
Tell her I said congrats!!! I would say bring a laptop over an ipad
@@VeronicaLuke Ok She has a Ipad with a keyboard that she does all her work for medical school on. what would be the advantage of a laptop over the Ipad be? i just want to know when she asks me that
i mean technically it does all the same things. As long as it can print shes fine! the preference is just a laptop
Shipping out on Tuesday!!!
Me too!
Sharday M see ya OTS lol
Good luck you guys!!!!!! Proud of you!!!
Veronica Luke Thank you!! Thank you for this awesome video also. It was very helpful!
Can you bring a personal kettle to make tea?
Do you know what are the rules for contact lenses?
Katia De La Torre Yes, I believe reading statements from the airforce website. You are allowed to use contacts or any eyewear that corrects your vision.
Were you able to use your phone regularly during OTS?
And is it 4 weeks? I thought 9. Thanks 💕
Can you use your cell phone 📱 during OTS?
Yes
How many suitcases did u bring? Im thinking about bringing 2 large ones through check in. Is that too much?
I brought one huge one lol! Nope, they dont really care lol but I didnt want to lug around two suitcases. But honestly, they lock them up when you get there, about day 2.
Veronica Luke thank u! i might bring 2 big ones..haha
I live a city over from Maxwell AFB (I live in Selma btw) and I never knew that’s where all of OTS is done!
Leaving in 7 days!
good luck!
Bring an Xbox and once ur in library or freedom then ur able to ask ur instructors to request permission to execute "xbox time" and if you live local u can request a chit to be able to sleep at the comfort of your home instead with a bunch of weirdos. Then you can come in early in the morning 15 min prior to 15 min before the day begins. lol
