I forget the rule, but you’re only allowed to be “X” amount of miles from the base you’re stationed. Can’t go on a cross country adventure when you get home, unless it’s personal/vacation time. You can probably shed more like on this.
Not always true, that rule differs from base to base, at Scott I could go anywhere CONUS as long as im back at work on time. Best to check that info according to where people end up.
You can try if you want to take that risk or ask the mti to do that, but that is ballsy, it would be easier to get one person to distribute it around :/
Hey! I'm thinking of joining the Air Force, pretty sure I am but that's besides the question, and I was wondering about band flight?? I did marching band in hs and it was awesome. I heard a lot of negative things about band flight and can't find any videos on UA-cam for band flight.
I dont know much about Band but when you get to BMT they ask if anyone has played instruments before and you tell them what you played then they will pull you if you need you, thats all I know though
It can take a month. I got a lump sum of BAH when I graduated BMT, Im honestly not sure how that worked out my wife kind of just dealt with it but you will at some point be paid.
armida loya Beast is the 5th week, 6th week is testing week for evaluations and tons of drill practice and 7th week is graduation week and a few more classes
Hey man, I'm leaving may 9th for bmt, and afterwards I'm going to Kessler for tech school as well. My job is cyber transport, so I should be there about 7 months I believe. I'm also married and I wanted to ask if you knew anything about living with your wife during tech school ? I heard if it's longer than 5 or 6 months your wife comes with you.. is this true? Once you get through your first phase can you move out of the dorms with your wife? Any info is appreciated 👍
Congrats on the ship date! To be honest I am not sure about how that all works but I know it possible. If your tech school is longer than 6 months she can move there and you can live with her, but im not sure how the phasing works for that and all those details. I know there is some paperwork to do it because I know a guy who is doing it right now but you really need to talk to your recruiter about that because getting that stuff done might be a pain in the ass at bmt, actually it will for sure be a pain in the ass. Try to get all of that sorted asap!! Good luck at bmt! Hope I can help
Sk8Gnarley yeah I talked to my recruiter but he said he has no idea lol... he told me to just wait until I'm at keesler and then figure it out with my mtl.. thanks for the reply though
Just enjoy your time for now make it count because once your in it feels like such a long time before you can really do whatever you want again but its also worth it, jsut gotta get through
You don't pay for uniform items. You pay for haircuts, anything from the BX and running shoes if they make you get them. I did use the full amount on my card. Thanks for the question hope I helped!
Tanisha Gordon there isnt much male/female interaction for the most part you are with your flight and your brother or sister flight, so if you have a sibling flight of the opposite gender you probably have more of an opportunity. Beast is where you all intermingle though
Beast week is week 5? •Do you have a tech school video? My fiancé leaves next week & I'm trying to get an idea on what to expect . How was it for you being away from your girlfriend ❔Any advice ?
Tanisha Gordon yes beast is week 5, I haven't made any tech school like academic videos but I have a dorm tour video, it sucked being away from my wife it was the hardest part for me. I would either send or give him pictures to take because getting lonely was difficult. Just gives him something to think about and a sort of motivation. Advice for you would be to write him a lot, my wife did everyday for a while and I was loaded up with letters and it was great so that helped a ton too
Hey & thank you for the advice. Can I ask you something about the address ? On the paper it says use the last 4 digits after 36 but there are 5 digits .. 😐 what part am I supposed to use ? The 1st 4 & not use the 5th one .
They will tell you what to do about that when you get to bmt, just have to talk to your mti, unfortunately you will have to try and shave through it when you first get there, kind of sucks, good luck!

Same. I'm shipping the 16th.
Regarding the phone call, will you have time to call 2 people to quickly tell them your mailing address and graduation date?
You can try if you want to take that risk or ask the mti to do that, but that is ballsy, it would be easier to get one person to distribute it around :/

Rebecca Reaves they will put you in the old dorms
I know this kinda late but you don't wanna do band flight on top of all the regular BMT stuff you will have to go to band practice.
Once you shipped out, how long did it take you to receive your first bmt pay check? I've heard it could take a month...
It can take a month. I got a lump sum of BAH when I graduated BMT, Im honestly not sure how that worked out my wife kind of just dealt with it but you will at some point be paid.
yee boy. ship 30 may.
Congrats boy yee
Nicholas Lee same
I have question. Can I shaved my hair a day before the BMT? Just getting ready
Khai Do yes you can but I would not recommend doing that
If beast week is week 6, what's happens on week 7?
armida loya Beast is the 5th week, 6th week is testing week for evaluations and tons of drill practice and 7th week is graduation week and a few more classes

LordofJDM I'm in the same position. same ship date too.
Sk8Gnarley yeah I talked to my recruiter but he said he has no idea lol... he told me to just wait until I'm at keesler and then figure it out with my mtl.. thanks for the reply though
OH I was told just to wait and figure it out with an mtl at tech school... so I guess we just have to wait
Cool I was wondering what your score was in the "E" category for you to get that job.
if july could get here already that would be great... I want to leave so bad
Just enjoy your time for now make it count because once your in it feels like such a long time before you can really do whatever you want again but its also worth it, jsut gotta get through
Hey there
Did you pay for your uniform or anything large like that? Did you use the full amount on your card?
You don't pay for uniform items. You pay for haircuts, anything from the BX and running shoes if they make you get them. I did use the full amount on my card. Thanks for the question hope I helped!
Sk8Gnarley thanks so much! Very helpful
Any tips for shoes?
So I have a question what is the male/female interaction if any at BMT . & you said during that initial call they'll tell you their graduation date ?
Tanisha Gordon there isnt much male/female interaction for the most part you are with your flight and your brother or sister flight, so if you have a sibling flight of the opposite gender you probably have more of an opportunity. Beast is where you all intermingle though

I'm not sure what your talking about, for what paper?
How can we get a Shaving waiver?
They will tell you what to do about that when you get to bmt, just have to talk to your mti, unfortunately you will have to try and shave through it when you first get there, kind of sucks, good luck!
Can you order things from amazon or from wherever while in tech school ?
Yes you get a PO box essentially and you can order whatever you want
On the topic of showering, do i have to use soap EVERY SINGLE TIME i shower?
I mean.. thats completely up to you lol good question though
