    Congratulations on graduating!!!! I truly appreciate this information! My daughter left for AFB on the 25th of March and called me today briefly from someone else's phone. She said that she didn't have much time to talk but told me that they changed the airmens' run from Thursday 23rd of May to Tuesday 21st and then I asked her how she was doing and she started crying. 😢 She said, mom I have to go now. I told her to stay encouraged and that she will get through it. I'm so worried because I can't do anything! 😩 I'm hoping she is just overwhelmed with adjusting and her emotional state will level out soon. It's so hard because I can't talk with her everyday to see how she is doing. I'm praying for her daily.

      @@sandyromero5325 Yeah i chickedn out a few times myself, but now i'm in so much college debt that its probably my best option. 21 isn't too bad, i almost joined at 21. I think once youre 23-25+ you start feeling much older because officers are going to be younger than me now.

    I was in BMT from August to October of 2012. I was also in the 323rd, but the old dorms. We had to march everywhere and go around all the construction so we ended up being the farthest squadron from basically everything. And it was so hot. Never had felt sweat drip down my back until then. Lol 😂 Congratulations!

    Q: Do you think you could expand more on how you felt being older in BMT?
    You said it was really hard for you (I’m assuming not physically) so if you could give instances/situations when you were reminded of the age gap. Thanks again!! Can’t wait to watch more from you. :)

    I got called up to the "snake pit" in the chow hall in BMT. I had hemmed my pants too short. The TI demanded a 341 form. I had my tray in my hands (both hands) at the time so I set the tray down on THEIR table to reach for the 341 in my pocket. Big mistake. I got chewed out for that too. Not a good day...

    and I feel strongly the reason you never regretted your decision was because you waited so long for it, didn't dive headlong, researched your options before going in, and you really want it. A couple years senior of the young 17 and 19 year olds help too, you gain more calm and confidence as you age I've found as well. But also some girls still think I'm 18 like them so oops 😂
