I hope your supervisor is aware of the great work you are doing with these videos. These videos are a great help to those joining the Air Force. Outstanding job!
I have 5 more days until I ship out and honestly hearing someone who isn't my dad or a recruiter telling me about Basic training is really comforting. I'm really bad at push ups (I can do like 3 at a time) but I'm really relived that it'll start out slow.
"if they're not weekly i apologize".... it's been 8 months miranda, come back!! i just binged watched all your videos and they've been beyond helpful. i wish you didn't stop making them! ):
I leave for basic training on February 14th, 2017. my Valentine's day present is me getting to leave😂😂 yay. but these vids actually helped calm my nerves before I left. thank you😩😍
Please keep making videos! I love them and your personality! You could honestly probably make a video about anything and and I'd be willing to watch! Thank you for your service as well, my boyfriend is in the Army and I have nothing but love and respect for those in the military :)
Do what she suggests about the knee push ups, and working your way up! I just started doing it a week ago, and I already can go the required amount of push ups. I haven't had a gym class since 5th grade, and I'm almost 21. I am really out of shape, and her tips are helping me so much! My suggestion, watch her videos, and plank. I planned for as long as I could (my hands were turning blood red) and I'd drop until I was comfortable, and do it again. Helps you hold your body weight, and strengthen yourself for push ups! My fear is running. I don't have anywhere to run where I live.
Ni hao Tokyo I just saw all of the videos you have saved, and I'm going to subscribe to you so that I can access those! You have a really good list going :) find a friend to push you. My husband is a marine, so he pushes me, but my cousin is also enlisting, so he's training the same way I am. When I get the chance here soon, I'm going to be training with him, and building myself up
I went to basic in August of 1999. I was lazy the last couple of months before shipping out. Don't do that. You will lose most of your pre-ship progress. One thing that helped me with PT was punishments, or TI Tools. My MTI would have me drop and do pushups. NOT at my pace, but he would say "UP!" and I would hold at that spot until "DOWN!" was communicated. Staying in the down position until instructed. Occaisonally, mid-rep, he would have me hold in-between up and down position. Some up/down instructions would be immediate, some would have a couple of seconds. The mid-reps would alternate. This will get you caught up quickly. I recommend doing a bit of this, starting with knee pushups, or against an elevated surface. It WORKS!
This was very helpful. Had a headache deciding on what to do. Thank you for your insight! I think the only thing that worries me is the immunization shots....so I think I should be good to go.
I just finished watching all your videos. I've nothing to do with the military and no interest in joining or anything but it's interesting to see how life for you in the military is. I hope you continue to upload videos. :)
that depends on whether you have a rube for a dorm chief or not. Some flights get lucky and some get totalitarian shit bags who go out of their way to be a fucking try hard. Once you're in the operational none of that insane shit matters. You will sit in a cubicle most of the day, eat donuts and bitch about being over paid and under worked (if you aren't flightline)
Katie Huskey I was reading somebody's advice for woman going to air force basic training, and they suggested bringing a few pairs of black spandex shorts, and sleeping in them because it's like one less step to getting ready in the morning. You just throw your clothes over them and you're done.
You're video was sooo helpful! It actually got me excited to join. Of course I have been nervous about it but I know I can do it! Thank you Miranda, I look forward to watching more of your videos!
I've been watching a lot of AF PT videos, and yours is one of my faves! Leaving in 2 weeks and I'm past the minimum, but I still try to get as much info as I can!
You are a new inspiration of my life now you had given me types more than any youtuber ive seen in my past time but,i understand you are tough you can do anything that's the way an airman is suppose to be but everyone is different they don't have the same body structure as you do and what i mean by everyone i mean females it makes me feel bad and i know it makes them feel bad when you say oh theirs nothing to worry about that's easy no it's not it's alot harder than others
Love your videos. Hope all is well. I ship in May of next year. Keep the positive attitude and I sure hope you get back to these when it makes sense for you. ☺️
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to talk to a recruiter this week. I am so nervous because I am a mother and a wife so I am nervous about leaving them. Your videos are truly awesome.
RNMreacts 1411 how was your conversation with the recruiter? I am a mother and wife also and I have the same concerns. Do you know if a 37 years old women can join the air force?
I leave in a week. And I've been running... Kinda. I'm just scared that I won't pass the first running test they administer. My Dad, who was in the Army like a hundred years ago, told me that if I don't pass it I will be sent to fat camp. I'm stressing out. And I thought maybe you had some insight. Is the fat camp thing true??
I just got out of BMT, at sheppard for tech school now. PT wasnt too bad, just hit those 1x3s as much as possible! the standards are higher here at tech school ughh.
I Thinking About Joining After High School I Graduate 2018 So I've Been Researching A Lot && Your Video Helps A Lot Thank You Very Much For Your Videos
Taking my asvab in a week. Feeling confident, I know I'm going to do well. Wanted to join the Air Force ever since I was kid. Edit I think it's different for guys. Not sure .
Your videos are so helpful! I ship out July 17, 2017 and my recruiter only brings in male RAPers. I don't get to hear a females perspective! Thanks for your help!
You're just getting started in high school. Join a sport! it would be fun learn team work (if you already don't know how). But if you don't want to join a sports team, simply start working out. Your young so if you start now you will crush the pt. Goodluck!
I really appreciate your videos. I wholeheartedly do. Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of becoming an American Airmen. Now that I'm 6 months away from High school graduation my dream is becoming more and more real with every week that passes by. I've been watching your videos for a couple of days now and I wanted to let you know that the fear I once had towards enlisting has turned into concrete courage! With that said I hope you can help me out with my question.. As of today I weigh 81kg which is 178.5 lbs. I have always struggled with my weight and I feel as if its impossible to lose it all in order to meet the weight I need to be because of my inconsistency. I'm 5'3" and my weigh has to be 155lbs. Do you have any suggestion that can help me lose 23lbs the right way to be ready for BMT?
Big big question!!! What happens to your family during tech school? I have a husband and my 2 children... will I be able to go home to them after school or will I be in a dorm while I am there?
Thank God for you girl!! 🙏🏾 I was thinking I'd have to do the minimum amount of push ups as soon as I got there and I'm not even at 5 yet. I was freaking out (still kinda am). Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😊
Honestly I'd finish college! If you want to once you graduate you can go the officer route. But if you're already in college and have no problems paying for it, I would finish your education! It's difficult to be active duty and go to school (it can be done! It's just a lot of work)
Yeah definitely finish school beforehand. I take online classes now and it's relatively easy, you just have to make sure you're checking in with your classes and turning assignments in on time. I'd say get your degree first and then if you want to start from the bottom as an enlisted member to get that perspective then finish school, enlist, and then earn your commission. If you decide you want to hit the ground running as an officer, that works too. All depends on what you want for your career.
I'm currently in the Army and I'm wondering did you know anything on prior service switching over to the Air Force? And what's the process to switch over?
If you're stressed about boot camp or your PT test I highly suggest checking out Lindsey Beers at www.commit2fitpersonaltraining.com/ for help!

Please, Please, Please make more videos! You're great, and I would love more of a women's perspective!
Ginger Jones

I Am Baby Gurl omg same!
How’d it go?
Please keep making videos! I love them and your personality! You could honestly probably make a video about anything and and I'd be willing to watch! Thank you for your service as well, my boyfriend is in the Army and I have nothing but love and respect for those in the military :)
I literally can't do a single push up. That's what scares me the most :/
Direct message me ma'am.
Samantha Lopez I'm in the same boat! I can't do a push-up
SAME! 😩😩😩 I am freaking out!
Do what she suggests about the knee push ups, and working your way up! I just started doing it a week ago, and I already can go the required amount of push ups.

hi Miranda! really enjoy the video :)
I just finished watching all your videos. I've nothing to do with the military and no interest in joining or anything but it's interesting to see how life for you in the military is. I hope you continue to upload videos. :)
I know this is odd but could you wear your PT clothes to bed so all you can you can do is get ready brush hair etc?
Yes! That is actually what everyone does.

You sound too lazy to go into the Air Force... Just stay in bed at your mom's house.
This video was such a huge help! i was terrified if i couldnt do pushups right away I would get in major trouble. thank you!
You're video was sooo helpful! It actually got me excited to join. Of course I have been nervous about it but I know I can do it! Thank you Miranda, I look forward to watching more of your videos!

I’m in AFJROTC and this is really helping me prepare because I’m over weight and trying so hard
I love your videos ! They've helped me so much so far! I leave for AF basic around the middle of June !
You are a new inspiration of my life now you had given me types more than any youtuber ive seen in my past time but,i understand you are tough you can do anything that's the way an airman is suppose to be but everyone is different they don't have the same body structure as you do and what i mean by everyone i mean females it makes me feel bad and i know it makes them feel bad when you say oh theirs nothing to worry about that's easy no it's not it's alot harder than others

Where are you? I need your inspiration. Come back.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Thank you for your service!
Love your videos. Hope all is well. I ship in May of next year. Keep the positive attitude and I sure hope you get back to these when it makes sense for you. ☺️

I think its worse after eating
I ships in two weeks, sounds easy enough. Wish me luck
Good luck! Thank you for your service.
Hey, could you make a video about how the level of education can affect our lives in the military, including levels of positions. Thanks!
This was really helpful, I love it!
Please make an update video! I really enjoy watching you! :)
I Thinking About Joining After High School I Graduate 2018 So I've Been Researching A Lot && Your Video Helps A Lot Thank You Very Much For Your Videos
what would you say about handling your period during basic training?
maia malanee I've read a lot about this and everyone says that there's so much stress and physical activity that most people don't get their periods
Seriously thank you so much for this video
I’m in the process of joining. Use to be in the army but that run is gonna eat me up😭 always does
Thank you for these videos. Could you do one to help give tips and tricks for the ASVAB?
Holy fuck, the running
Taking my asvab in a week. Feeling confident, I know I'm going to do well. Wanted to join the Air Force ever since I was kid.
Edit I think it's different for guys. Not sure .
My brothers in BMT right now he has the blue belt in running
Where have you been?!?! I really enjoying watching your videos!
Thank you for your service
Wow these are awesome tips❤️thanks babe! We’re you a runner 🏃♀️ prior to basic?
This was a great video.
Very nice video; good info. Thumbs-up!
Your videos are so helpful! I ship out July 17, 2017 and my recruiter only brings in male RAPers. I don't get to hear a females perspective! Thanks for your help!
You're so pretty...you remind me of Anna Kendrick :)
When you're training is it usually just with girls or are the guys mixed in? Random thought lol
Salute you Sergeant!
Navy know about them 10 count builders
Are pull ups mandatory for pt test?
Betsy Alvarenga no but they make you do them. Not required to pass PT though
I'm really digging your watch. What brand or type is it? :D
Can you do a video on MEPS? Please and thank you 😊
Direct message me.
can you make a video on what to pack for BMT? or did you already make one or mention that in another video??
thank you that was very helpful
How did you have enough time to do your hair, brush your teeth, wash your face, and get dressed in under 10 minutes?
I’m scared about the running 6 Laos non stop... what if I start to get tired can I slow down and walk or... what will happen if I do???
#STRESSINGOUT
I am going to 9th grade, what do you think I should do to REALLY prepare and be fine for pt btw I love you videos.
You're just getting started in high school. Join a sport! it would be fun learn team work (if you already don't know how). But if you don't want to join a sports team, simply start working out. Your young so if you start now you will crush the pt. Goodluck!
Coleman Olivas thank you!!
Thanks for the tips! I leave in april 4! :)
Could you make a video about your job & military pay?
The only thing I am worried about is my asthma, I am so willing to DO all of this but my lungs are so trash
do a video on why you should join the AF!
I really appreciate your videos. I wholeheartedly do. Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of becoming an American Airmen.

This is gonna sound dumb, but in boot camp do girls have time to shave their legs?
Hello you are so pretty!! How long do they make you do the burpees flutter kicks etc?
I am a lot less anxious lol. Thank you.
Big big question!!! What happens to your family during tech school? I have a husband and my 2 children... will I be able to go home to them after school or will I be in a dorm while I am there?
Hey, I will be enlisting in the airforce next month. I was wondering if I could ask you questions and advice?
I just swore in last week! Im sure I can answer some of your questions.
Thank God for you girl!! 🙏🏾 I was thinking I'd have to do the minimum amount of push ups as soon as I got there and I'm not even at 5 yet. I was freaking out (still kinda am). Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😊
Hey I am confused right now I am 22 attending college, would it be beneficial to finish college or join AirForce
Honestly I'd finish college! If you want to once you graduate you can go the officer route. But if you're already in college and have no problems paying for it, I would finish your education! It's difficult to be active duty and go to school (it can be done! It's just a lot of work)

@@mirandagollnick Hi miranda
What kind of watch are you wearing? (Also can you take the same one to boot camp?) thanks!!!!
I can’t do push ups lol any suggestions to start? I’m 16 and wanna do AFJROTC and then join the AF.
thank you.
What if you have college credits but are unable to acquire your transcripts because of a financial aid overpayment hold?
Brittany did you ever find out?
Same question, what happened ??
I'm currently in the Army and I'm wondering did you know anything on prior service switching over to the Air Force? And what's the process to switch over?
It’s been almost two years 😭 come back soon!!!
Also I hope you’re doing great!!!
I hope you're doing okay :(( idk if your husband left yet or not but I'm keeping you in my prayers!!! Hope to see soon how you're doing ❤
Where did you go?? We need more videos :(
