You’re right about guys having insecurities about the women being in their flights and Air Force in general. I was a guy in an integrated flight and some of us talked down about the women in our flight especially compared to the flights that were all male. We had women who outperformed the men in PT and in drill. The two women were better element leaders than the guys IMO..So ladies go be great!
@KD-jq5gq if you're on a birth control i wouldn't take the herbs. It will most likely cause an issue. You may want to get direction from a herbal physician.
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. · Psalm 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. · Jesus is Lord Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life repent and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. --- Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Jesus is coming back soon repent every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord. -- --
Just a suggestion but look into the flex disc, it’s a menstrual disc and last all day, once you get the hang of it you can empty it hands free while just literally going pee. It’s the cleanest method I’ve used. Im just looking in to enlisting so I don’t know if it would be the best option.
Did u bring yours? Was it easy to use? I use one, but it takes me a while to insert and take out. Idk how hard it will be to do in front of people omg.
I would go in with box braids if I could do it all over again! That’s one thing I should’ve done. Because you won’t have much time to do your natural hair :))
I would recommend depo shot but it’s up to your preference I think depo is best because you won’t have to remember taking any pills or anything while in training :)) but talk to your local doctor or physician assistant about the best options for you!
At first no in order to get meds for cramps you would need to get prescribed medications so like IBUPROFEN from the hospital on base and then that’s the only way you would be able to take them. So you would need to reach out to your MTI and asked them if you could take time out of training to do that.
That’s not how birth control works though. When I got on I was on my cycle for almost a whole year straight non stop so be careful with getting birth control. Everyone’s body reacts differently.
@@Kiaraaleema i loved that it worked out in your favor. it took awhile for my body to get use to it but when it did i haven’t had any heavy cycle or anything in the last 3 months hopefully it doesn’t bite me in the butt when i go to bmt. 😭
Guys do have insecurities but some older more senior people will try to help you. Most mentors of women will NOT be a woman. It will be a man. Accept any help you get from anyone but remember, all help comes with a price. Some guys (secure guys) will not hit on you. They want to be proud of you and your accomplishments. Be loyal. Do not betray your mentor. And later when you are senior, mentor people who need help. Loyalty is paramount.
For me the yelling wasn’t too bad I’m use to that type of stuff I grew up in a household with a bunch of yelling so it didn’t affect me. But it got annoying at times for sure. And honestly my personal opinion the gas chamber wasn’t that bad at all like you just have to make sure you are the 1st or 2nd person to go in. You’ll barely exhale the gas. :)) but thank you glad you enjoyed.
how long do you have to be inside the gas chamber? and like stupid question lol but whenever you have to use the bathroom do they give you a certain time or how does that work? i mean of course you wont be half an hour in there but yk what i mean lmao
and idk if im wrong but i saw another guy on a video saying that the job thing after bmt is like random, kinda like you give them a list of which ones youd like and then either they assign you one or you go to a completely different one?? i hope not tbh but idk, sorry for asking many questions lmao

Everyone who takes birth control doesn't stop having periods. It depends on persons body.
True but I’m just stating what works for me!! Personal opinions of my own.
Thank you so much for your realistic video. Making us understand how it is. You are a strong woman. God bless you 💜
You are so welcome!! And thank you very much :)))
Thank you for this video because I’m a germ phobic as well, and me having my period was the only thing I was worrying about
Birth control never stopped my periods I got off it and never went back to it I take herbs now and my periods are shorter and lighter
Oh okay!! Well birth control works for me to get rid of periods so just stating my own personal experience and opinions:)) just do what works for you.
What herbs do you take? I used to have periods that last for 3-4 days, after having my 3rd child & using an IUD, my period last a whole week
What herbs?
@KD-jq5gq if you're on a birth control i wouldn't take the herbs. It will most likely cause an issue. You may want to get direction from a herbal physician.
I appreciate these video's hope all is goin well for you!!
Thank you so much and I’m more than happy to help and likewise!!

Thank you for the information! I leave for BMT on 20 February.
Best of luck! You can do itttt 💕
Me too!
Can we wear cornrows? I have locs and it’s easier to have a nice slick bun with cornrows
Can you wear knotless braids during basic training?
Yes you can lol just have to always wear them in a bun to the back while in uniform.
I am not fond of synthetic hormones so no birth control
Okay do what works best for you!
Just a suggestion but look into the flex disc, it’s a menstrual disc and last all day, once you get the hang of it you can empty it hands free while just literally going pee. It’s the cleanest method I’ve used. Im just looking in to enlisting so I don’t know if it would be the best option.
Question. What’s the quickest you can ship out to bmt?
The quickest is within the same week!! But it all depends. You can get the best answer to this question from your local Airforce recruiter.
So I wear a Diva cup am I allowed to bring that?
I’m pretty sure you can! That’s like a pad right? But I would ask your local recruiter to be sure.
Did u bring yours? Was it easy to use? I use one, but it takes me a while to insert and take out. Idk how hard it will be to do in front of people omg.
what about my hair? Should I just go free & be natural
I would go in with box braids if I could do it all over again! That’s one thing I should’ve done. Because you won’t have much time to do your natural hair :))
@@Kiaraaleemaoh didn’t know braids were allowed. Thanks
@@Kiaraaleemahow long do you suggest the box braids be so it’ll be able to make the bun in the back?
Do we have to pack travel size for skin care ?
Yes if you are traveling on a aircraft! But no if you are driving there.
How are we able to bring skincare in our luggage if the carryon bags on flight doesn’t allow more than an ounce of liquid 😞 ?Any advice
omg can we not just bring a lot of travel sized stuff 💔
@@lani5089we can yes
Hi what birth control would you recommend to stop period during BMT?
I would recommend depo shot but it’s up to your preference I think depo is best because you won’t have to remember taking any pills or anything while in training :)) but talk to your local doctor or physician assistant about the best options for you!
Definitely an IUD. They last for 3-10 years, depending on which one you get. Personally, I had a good experience using Mirena IUD.
Do they allow to bring our own boots? Or you have to use the issued ones?
I really appreciate this video. Were you able to communicate with your family and friends back home? Did you get phone calls or anything?
Yes you will get the chance to write letters and send them out every week. And you will also get a few 5-10 min phone calls.
@@Kiaraaleema thanks!
Is there meds you get to take for cramps or headaces?
At first no in order to get meds for cramps you would need to get prescribed medications so like IBUPROFEN from the hospital on base and then that’s the only way you would be able to take them. So you would need to reach out to your MTI and asked them if you could take time out of training to do that.
Do you need to score a specific score on the ASVAB to get into the Air Force?
No the asvab score is based on what job you can get!! 💕
That’s not how birth control works though. When I got on I was on my cycle for almost a whole year straight non stop so be careful with getting birth control. Everyone’s body reacts differently.
True do what’s best for you then! Birth control is what’s worked best for me!!! :)
@@Kiaraaleema i loved that it worked out in your favor. it took awhile for my body to get use to it but when it did i haven’t had any heavy cycle or anything in the last 3 months hopefully it doesn’t bite me in the butt when i go to bmt. 😭
i just started birth control this september & i’ve been bleeding for the last 3 months. i hope it doesn’t last another 9 lol
how long do we have to take showers?
It depends on your Sergeant and how well your flight works with each other. Our flight was allotted 15 mins to shower!
are you allowed to wear light makeup on graduation?
Yes!
Hi, I hope this isn’t too weird of a question I know you have 2 minutes to shower but is there a certain way to wash in BMT?
You have more than 2 mins to shower you get 15-20 mins to shower lol
OH THIS IS GOOD TO HEAR!
Was there anyone from your flight that got recycled?
Yes!! There was people that got recycled and people that got recycled into our flight as well!!
round 6:40 you went from Kiara to Keke "wtf" lol
😂😂😂😂
Can you still go to church on Sunday?
Yes you can :)
Hey can you do multiple job in the air force
You will have your primary job called your Air Force Specialty Code. You can have an “additional duty” like a credit card purchase person….etc.
Hi and no you cannot have multiple jobs!! Whatever job you signed on your contract that is your job :))

Yes you do for the first couple of weeks but you will get the opportunity to buy some at the bx(store on base)!!
@@Kiaraaleemacan I bring diapers cause I don’t wear pads
@@tykariamariah2359did you figure this out
@@shyblaze42 no but imma still use them when I go
How was the yelling, lol? As well as the gas chamber? Also, great video! Thank you!
