Just got out of BMT a month ago, this is based on my experience 4/20 - 6/10. And my experience was pretty much this: No need for that many shirts. Dont bring too many pairs of underwear, while you can wear your own underwear, they are not an authorized item and cannot be anywhere besides the back half of your security drawer and for us at least, the back half was nearly full towards the end of BMT, just deal with how uncomfortable the tighty whities are, or buy some of the authorized tighty whities at your first BX run. Dont bring a sweater, cant wear it anyways. Don't bring makeup, you can only wear a tiny amount of concealer as far as I heard during graduation. Dont bring a clipboard, you get your own. BRING INSOLES!!! Boots hurt and most injuries happened after being given boots. No need to bring nail clippers unless you want your own, you're issued some. For people who wear glasses and are not vaccinated or choose to wear masks, get some fog block, it's super humid in the morning in Texas! Essentially: Pack lightly, dont make it hard on yourself!
@@alyssadeleon9487 You definitely can! However, you have to store them in the back half of your security drawer, which gets very filled. They aren't authorized underwear in the clothing drawer so they have to go in the security drawer.
@@sarahy4813 Bring enough for 3-4 days! I was a special exception because I wasn't there the first day (flew in from overseas) so they disregarded me 😅 I was in civvies for almost 2 weeks. As far as tennis shoes, please please please bring your own tennis shoes. Make sure they're only gray, white, or black, all 1 color. The BMT tennis shoes are insufferable. Bring any specialty hygiene products you feel you might need (You will be provided with most hygiene products you need, deoderant, sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, nail trimmers, floss, not sure if females get anything different) and maybe a single sweater/jacket depending on the season
You're definitely over-packing (excluding female stuff). Most of that stuff you can get at basic. All you really need is enough clothes to last you 2 days. Any other things you need you will either get issued or you can buy at the BX. I understand having that feeling of "what if I need it" cuz I packed a lot when I went in and I honestly regret it. One thing you have to keep in mind is that you're going to start a new routine. One that will have you skipping something you normally do at the comfort of your own home that you can't do at basic cuz you're being rushed. Or something you thought you'd never do. And you'll learn to get used to it. Cuz that's the military way. You'll understand once you're done with basic. Good Luck!
I know I am probably over packing haha. I have friends graduate recently and I'm going off of their suggestions 😅 I'll make an update after on my experience and then things I didn't need 😅😅 Thank you for the insight!
I just graduated from BMT and trust me when I say that’s all you really need is a lent roller, some soap and enough bras and underwear to last you the entire time your there. Your only going to be in civilian clothes for 2days, your going to be wearing pt gear all day everyday until you get your ocps. I definitely overpacked my bag for bmt and I regret it, I had to carry 4bags to tech school 😥.
You do realize the Air Force has given you the perfect job of Public Affairs, correct? You are so comfortable on camera and great at explaining things very throughly. I honestly can see you doing news briefings from the Pentagon.
This is a great list Makenna! I would suggest getting a small mirror with magnets on the back to stick to your wall locker. It makes doing your hair in the morning faster, because you won't have to fight for a sink. I would also suggest tape instead of a lint roller, you can use it to remove lint from your clothes, and prevent your BMTSG from ripping.
I don't understand why people would say "Don't being a clipboard". Out of everything, it was easily the BEST item I that I brought. Maybe because you can buy one at the BX, but because of Covid we didn't have the opportunity to go to the BX until our 4th week. So I was the only person to have it. That probably has changed since last year, but still, better to just bring it. This is a fantastic packing guide. Honestly, everything is spot on. Only thing I did different is I chose to bring no cash and not deal with having to write down the serial numbers of each bill. You can use card for purchasing anything, so that was just one less thing to worry about. But it's probably safer to just bring a bit of extra cash for sure. Will absolutely recommend this guide! Well done!
@@carlosortega3634 I was at Disneyland and I didn’t get issued one. But that could have changed within the past 6 months. I could see that being a thing for sure.
I would highly recommend packing light! I just graduated..I regret over packing. The first stop is the BX which has everything you could need. Also clipboards are provided already!! I ended up throwing mine away.
@@jacobsmith3249bring. You can bring your own black/white undies, and black/white sports bra (no brand print and no other kinds or print. All has to be solid color) and bring feminine products, only enough for when you’ll need it
Good luck in BMT and tech school. You can do it. From a AF/ANG vet. Went in in 1972, you'll get newer barracks. We were in the old WW2 wooden barracks; also in tech school at Sheppard. Medical use to be there; currently at Brooks-- for medical training.
Best thing I could say to add to your bag is a microfiber cloth for dusting. Your whole flight will thank you. It's a game changer for the latrine folks.
A lots changed in BMT in just 7 years lol I took one small backpack and even that felt like a lot. Still good content I’m sure it’s helpful to some folks. Good luck to all you heading to BMT. Enjoy it!
This makes me so happy watching this, I remember when I was in high school watching your videos and now I’m graduated and I think I’m ready to join. Idk it’s kinda nostalgic
I had to pack clothes for a week. My recruiter wouldn’t let me go without 2 week supply of hygiene and a week of clothes. I guess they do a 2 week quarantine now. I’m sitting at the hotel right now and leave in 5 hours
I’m not sure about the clipboards knowing it was provided to me during bmt, has to be returned towards the end of your training. wipes weren’t allowed in security drawers for me. But everything is based on where you’ll be located Alcatraz or Disneyland. Don’t pack heavy because you’ll have to carry everything you have on technical school. I got a carry on bag with important documents, hygiene products and some pair of underwear even though you will be issued some. Future tip: future trainees don’t forget your reporting statements, you’ll get chewed out for that.
never watched a bmt packing list which i regret. i brought 2 full bags full of civilian clothes which you will not need. had to carry like 4 full bags by myself at the end of bmt .
I've been anticipating this video, thank you so much!!! I'm going to BMT on August 3rd, I'll be Airborne Missions Systems. Good luck and thank you again, this is really helpful!! 😁
just saw you're leaving July 6th. good luck!! I'm leaving on Sep 21st! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make an update video when you can about your packing list I'm seeing so many comments saying it's overpacking and I just wanna be ready :)
I'm a dude, but my recruiter (Staff Sergeant Roy Rogers...really) advised me to carry nothing but minimal toiletries, a couple of sets of underwear, and just the clothing and shoes I was wearing...nothing I didn't mind throwing away. He was right.
If any recruit brings a lot of extra items than theres a lock in closet where the recruits be living in but the MTI only lets recruits go in every 2-3 weeks, and clipboard is best item I bought at bx at lackland and theres plenty of Casio watches over there to buy that are waterproof.
Really, you can't overpack. They have a locked closet for your civilian luggage. It's true that, especially after your first issue, you won't use most of it, but if you're willing to carry it, which can be a huge pain, it is nice to have when you graduate and go to tech school.
@@GinaHagaNielsen I have the issued items on my checklist! I've been given the list by a few people. That way people can decide if they still have something of their own they want to take or not. I am not taking much of the issued items, just a little shampoo and conditioner,a silicone loofah, and running shoes, other than that, I am sticking with the issued items!

Also thank you for your future service lol and the information you are helping us ladies with because I will be going as well and needed some tips lol
Believe it or not but as a woman you don't need all of this. Make it easier for yourself and your rla by packing light. I overpacked and the trek to my dorm was killer also the load on my back from BMT to tech school was bad too!
Can I bring sleeping shorts that is above my knee cap and must my shirt be black or white, can I have a navy, gray, military color. Cause I already bought them do you think I could still make use of them after even if am not allowed to use them in bmt? Please some one help me out
How did you do inBMT I'm from Albertville Alabama. Go learn everything you can and come back to Huntsville and you can be the commander of Space command..
hiiii love your videos!! very informative and clear but I have a question, did they let you take the tiger balm??? because I am planning to take one but I am afraid they will take it away :( it also help me when I feel pain, please let me know! thank you :)

Do you have a current packing list or packing video that’s not private? I would love to know how your packing would be different now that you’ve been through BMT
Target!!! I totally meant to say that in the video!! www.target.com/p/women-s-high-support-zip-front-bra-all-in-motion/-/A-77641037?preselect=77347051#lnk=sametab
Hey very cool deal glad I subbed. Was wondering what you could take. Was watching one of Kyle’s older vids and he said they wouldn’t allow underwear. Guess things have changed though which is a relief. My favorite underwear are one of the few things I can’t live without!
Awesome! I'm shipping on the 28th. The only thing I have different is that I chose to bring a back pack. Let's see if I regret it later. 😂 Thanks for the video.
My plan is to use military benefits for braces and corrective contacts. I won’t bring those, but I will bring floss and my glasses for the first 30 days
I work with TSA and that bag is over 45 linear inches. You need to edit the video. That bag will be checked and you will not be authorized to take that in the cabin. What is linear inches length + width + height. If you exceed 45 linear inches it’s a checked bag. I know you are trying to provide accurate information. I figured I would help out. Good video by the way!
Yeah she can get it tagged and leave at the jet bridge before she enters the plane. I always do that to avoid the hassle of checking in a bag and finding space in the overhead
@@nicolem6109 This is if they have room in the cabin of the Aircraft. If they do not they will throw it in the belly of the Aircraft and treat as a checked luggage.
ah, dang! I meant to mention that in the video. I'm a DD 😳 I got these at target!! (It was pretty pricy to get to many, but these gave my the support that I need) www.target.com/p/women-s-high-support-zip-front-bra-all-in-motion/-/A-77641037?preselect=77347051#lnk=sametab
I got those last minute bc someone told me to take them! and as usual I say better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them! haha If they take anything, that is totally fine! but I'll take it just in case!
PLEASE pack light. We were only in civilian clothes for three days before being issued our pt gear that we wear all day everyday lol. Females I would bring extra bras and underwear they seem to get lost or taken. Toiletries are issued to us as well as a clipboard and you only need a lint roller when your tested on open rank week 5. During zero week the mini mall comes to our squadron so you’ll get the chance to buy the things you didn’t bring. We washed our clothes everyday so you don’t have to worry about not having clean clothes. Keep in mind that when you graduate and go to tech school you’ll have to carry a backpack, duffel bag with your ocps, blues, shoes, coat ect, and your civilian bag. Depending on where your dorm is located you might have a little ways to walk with all of that. I was in Disneyland so it wasn’t too bad. Good luck to everyone heading out to bmt!
Makenna, ask Kyle when did the Airforce change its rank structure, served in the Marines 1969- 74 1 tour of duty in South Vietnam, my brother in law was an E4 in the Airforce in the day that was a Sergeant, I came home as his body escort.
Air Force is back to having only one BMT location, at Lackland AFB. Covid is a problem again nationwide, the DoD issued a memorandum that all federal personnel must wear a mask indoors and when in formation. So yes, masks again. Regardless of vaccination status. Tragic.
Can’t say for certain but you might not be allowed to, that’s what my MTIs said but carry them in case you’re allowed to. Flight rules can be different.
Is that really allowed at Bmt? I thought no medical sort of things. I would love to take some too but I’d hate to have it taken from me. I leave in a little under 2 weeks! 💃
target!!! I'm sorry ladies I TOTALLY meant to mention that in the video!!! www.target.com/p/women-s-high-support-zip-front-bra-all-in-motion/-/A-77641037?preselect=77347051#lnk=sametab
Wouldn’t you use your PT gear as pajamas so in the morning you spend less time changing? Also I suggest bringing earplugs if you can’t sleep with loud snorers
She's actually referring more to before BMT and early on at Tech School. During BMT, we wore PT gear as pajamas but it still didn't matter sometimes because we'd go straight into uniform... come back, shower, then do PT. After BMT, a lot of us just used our PT gear at Tech school until we went shopping or had stuff sent to us.
Most of those commenting you’re “overpacking” are male, but this is extremely insightful for females (as far as the specific items go.) 😊
Thanks girl! I'm going off of what the other ladies that just graduated had suggested! Better to have it than to not! 🤷♀️
yesss! and i would much rather have it than not have it so overpack it is :)
I mean, she did overpack a little. You need room since you bring a lot of stuff home once you graduate

Do you have a current packing list or packing video that’s not private? I would love to know how your packing would be different now that you’ve been through BMT
Same here. I can't open the updated video. I am shipping out in a week and I would really need an updated video on what to pack or not
Wow I loved your video great in details and it is visual to see what are in your bag 💼 yesss girl 👏👏👏 so where did your get your sport bar from
Target!!! I totally meant to say that in the video!! www.target.com/p/women-s-high-support-zip-front-bra-all-in-motion/-/A-77641037?preselect=77347051#lnk=sametab
@@AirmanVision thank you 🙏🏽
Taking my asvab today !
best of luck!!
OOG kc AirForce 1974. Believe me. Back in my day the drill sergeants could hit you now they cannot do it. But good luck should be pretty easy now.
Hey very cool deal glad I subbed. Was wondering what you could take. Was watching one of Kyle’s older vids and he said they wouldn’t allow underwear. Guess things have changed though which is a relief. My favorite underwear are one of the few things I can’t live without!
It's still not a guarantee that you'll be allowed to wear them, it may depend on the MTI and if they let you, but take them just in case!
So, since you’ve been out of BMT for a bit now, when do you think you’ll make the updated list?
Im gone in 9 days i was talking to sgt davidson im suprised sgt wheaton isnt back
Ssgt Wheat moved! Best of luck to you!!
Awesome! I'm shipping on the 28th. The only thing I have different is that I chose to bring a back pack. Let's see if I regret it later. 😂 Thanks for the video.
@Lex + Chad yes sir! 💪🏾
What's your name bud?
@Lex + Chad hahahaha so you're the girl then.
So I got into munitions systems, which, if I'm being honest I hate. What about you?
My plan is to use military benefits for braces and corrective contacts. I won’t bring those, but I will bring floss and my glasses for the first 30 days
Can you bring your own laundry detergent if you want to? Either a small/travel size or a regular size detergent
Hey, thanks for the video first off and second where did you get those zip-up sportsbra?
I work with TSA and that bag is over 45 linear inches. You need to edit the video. That bag will be checked and you will not be authorized to take that in the cabin. What is linear inches length + width + height. If you exceed 45 linear inches it’s a checked bag. I know you are trying to provide accurate information. I figured I would help out. Good video by the way!
Yeah she can get it tagged and leave at the jet bridge before she enters the plane. I always do that to avoid the hassle of checking in a bag and finding space in the overhead
I appreciate the info! The dimensions for my bag are 20”x 12” x 12”
@@nicolem6109 This is if they have room in the cabin of the Aircraft. If they do not they will throw it in the belly of the Aircraft and treat as a checked luggage.
@@marktully391 Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I travel a lot and only take a carry on bag now.
Wait how do you pack your makeup w your quart size bag? I only could pack body wash, 2n1 and hair gel
A fellow nctzen in tha force🤭🙈
We have the same ship date and the exact same adidas bag for our packing list 😂
hahaha nice!!! Goodluck at BMT!!
What bag is it? I feel like the bags I've bought are too big or too small. 😅
Are a pair of scissors allowed? I mean arent scissors prohibited at the airport?
Which sports bras did you purchase and how are they? Been on the hunt for some that would support my c cup chest :)
She got Target’s All in motion bras
ah, dang! I meant to mention that in the video. I'm a DD 😳 I got these at target!! (It was pretty pricy to get to many, but these gave my the support that I need) www.target.com/p/women-s-high-support-zip-front-bra-all-in-motion/-/A-77641037?preselect=77347051#lnk=sametab
Nike! I’m a D/DD and the tight Nike bras are really comfortable, breathable, & have support!
Did they let you keep all your travel size toiletries? Leaving in 25 days
Hi, I tried to view your updated but video but it says that its private and unavailable :/
Loved the video! My only concern was the scissors. I 90% sure those aren't allowed at BMT so they might take those from you, but I might be wrong.
I got those last minute bc someone told me to take them! and as usual I say better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them! haha
If they take anything, that is totally fine! but I'll take it just in case!
PLEASE pack light. We were only in civilian clothes for three days before being issued our pt gear that we wear all day everyday lol. Females I would bring extra bras and underwear they seem to get lost or taken. Toiletries are issued to us as well as a clipboard and you only need a lint roller when your tested on open rank week 5. During zero week the mini mall comes to our squadron so you’ll get the chance to buy the things you didn’t bring. We washed our clothes everyday so you don’t have to worry about not having clean clothes. Keep in mind that when you graduate and go to tech school you’ll have to carry a backpack, duffel bag with your ocps, blues, shoes, coat ect, and your civilian bag. Depending on where your dorm is located you might have a little ways to walk with all of that. I was in Disneyland so it wasn’t too bad. Good luck to everyone heading out to bmt!
Thanks for your insight!!
Makenna, ask Kyle when did the Airforce change its rank structure, served in the Marines 1969- 74 1 tour of duty in South Vietnam, my brother in law was an E4 in the Airforce in the day that was a Sergeant, I came home as his body escort.
It’s changed as recently as the early 90’s I believe. E4 is a Senior Airmen, E5 is a Staff Sergeant(First NCO rank). Im AD Air Force.
You're probably talking about a "Buck Sergeant". It's 3 stripes same as a senior airman. They got rid of that title tho.
you really gettin me nervous lol
no reason to be nervous! haha
Which training location are you headed too? and also is it still issued to wear masks upon arrival?
Air Force is back to having only one BMT location, at Lackland AFB. Covid is a problem again nationwide, the DoD issued a memorandum that all federal personnel must wear a mask indoors and when in formation.
So yes, masks again. Regardless of vaccination status. Tragic.
I know you can’t bring contacts to wear everyday but can you wear them for your pictures?
Can’t say for certain but you might not be allowed to, that’s what my MTIs said but carry them in case you’re allowed to. Flight rules can be different.
I am only taking them to have at tech school, not to wear at BMT
@@AirmanVision oh okay! I got excited about wearing them for the pictures lol
You’re not supposed to, because dust and such might get into your eyes. I don’t recommend wearing it during.
I can't wait to leave on the 7th
Dang, I need to start using that Tiger Balm after my runs
YESSSSS
Is that really allowed at Bmt? I thought no medical sort of things. I would love to take some too but I’d hate to have it taken from me. I leave in a little under 2 weeks! 💃
@@kates3691 Hi did you end up having it taken away from you if you brought it? I leave in a month!!
"a little bit of makeup"
**12 products**
Thank you so much for these videos can you a follow up after you returned plzz ❤
Can you bring face moisturizer and like a cleansing balm to wash off the sunscreen?
Yes.
Why Is the updated video privated??
Thanks for the info. I going to BMT soon. 😅
Best of luck!
@@AirmanVision thanks!
Quick question, is it allowed to bring wet wipes or is it purchasable at BMT?
You can bring them and they are available at the BX
@@Mwdhandler2023 thanks man, appreciate it!
Packing list? Dang they put me on a plane and said good luck.

@@LLL-zx6dw thanks
Where is the new packing video?
Do you think we can bring white shirts to bmt?
yes!! there isn't a specific color, I just chose black
What size duffle bag is that one?
They say not to get branding and logos on the sports bras you get,but is it really a big deal? Like the straps saying under armor and stuff?
They don’t care what color underwear or bra you wear. Just make sure it’s not like, lacey thongs or anything.
@@Keisha_Kay32 thx!!
when is she going ? im going to bmt on the 28th it almost seems like we'll be going at the same time
July 6th!
thank you
I was on my way to meps and Biden signs a bill for holiday tmmr rescheduled to Monday....
Are you allowed to use unscented moisturizer such as cethapil for airforce bmt?
Do they teach you to do push ups or is better to be prepared
ALWAYS better to be prepared
What kind of zip up bras, and where did you get them? good idea for basic.
Yes what she said 👆🏽
Amazon has packs of 3 that are inexpensive and good quality! I started a list on Amazon
I wanna know too!
She has the Target brand called All In Motion…I recognized the logo 😂
target!!! I'm sorry ladies I TOTALLY meant to mention that in the video!!! www.target.com/p/women-s-high-support-zip-front-bra-all-in-motion/-/A-77641037?preselect=77347051#lnk=sametab
Are all of these travel size? When we travel does everything need to be travel size? Thanks
because you have to fly and you can only have travel size liquids to carry on a plane
@@AirmanVision that’s what ai thought. Guess if I run out of toiletries I’ll just be good at the bx
Just graduated and got to tech school
awesome!! congrats!!
@@AirmanVision Pensacola is nutz
Wouldn’t you use your PT gear as pajamas so in the morning you spend less time changing?
Also I suggest bringing earplugs if you can’t sleep with loud snorers
She's actually referring more to before BMT and early on at Tech School. During BMT, we wore PT gear as pajamas but it still didn't matter sometimes because we'd go straight into uniform... come back, shower, then do PT. After BMT, a lot of us just used our PT gear at Tech school until we went shopping or had stuff sent to us.
