    If you're stressed about boot camp or your PT test I highly suggest checking out Lindsey Beers at www.commit2fitpersonaltraining.com/ for help!

    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.

      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.

    • @lexytaylor6262
      @lexytaylor6262 7 років тому +1

      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

  • @stephenroberts2526

    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!

      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)

    • @lexytaylor6262

      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.

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 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?

    • @mirandagollnick
      @mirandagollnick  8 років тому +17

      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)

    • @ToTBlacksmith
      @ToTBlacksmith 8 років тому +4

      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.
