I live in Quitman, GA. Joined the Air Force in 1989 and separated in 1993. Was stationed at F.E. Warren AFB, Cheyenne, WY, then Osan AB, Republic of Korea, then Cheyenne Mountain AFB located in Colorado Springs, CO. Joined the Reserves in 1998 and separated in 2004 and was assigned to Homestead ARS in South Florida. Those were some of the best years of my life and I never regret enlisting. Basic was tough but when you get through it, the job I had was fantastic. I was a member of the Security Forces. Thank you for making this video. It brought back a lot of memories. Thank you for your service.
I served in the Marines back in the late 80s and early 90s. I remember when we finished up at the Island it was school. And at school you were your own person. After hours that is. You could leave the base, go out, do whatever. It wasn't bad at all.
Thank you for creating this content on your journey! I'm in DEP with the Air Force now so I'm at the very beginning of mine but it's good to know what awaits ahead!
Thank you girl!! & I feel you, I was the exact saaame way before shipping…just remember it’ll be worth it in the end when bmt gets hard cause girl! & that’s a lil minute..what is your job?
My recruiter just informed me that he has this job reserved for me! I’m just waiting for them to make sure all my qualifications check out and then I’ll sign the contract. I would love to know more about this job. Thank you for any help.
Make sure you want to do that job. Don’t just take the job just cause your recruiter said it’s open so what you want and love so your career in the AF will be a smooth and good one
how did you manage your hair during basic training? can you use leave in conditioner and oils? what about skin care and moisturizer and sunscreen? I have thick curly hair, i need more than 3 min to wash it. will i be able to wash and detangle my hair ? i’m scared of not being able to do my basic hygiene
I leave next week on 27th, and I don’t know what to do with all of my clothes from home. Should I pack them up and just wait till I can get to them or sell/give away them all and buy new ones when I can?
Awl man I’m a day late🥴 well you’ll see this when you graduate lol…but congratulations, good luck 🍀 & you got this!! I gave away clothes that I didn’t wear & packed whatever I had left over so they could just get shipped to me when I got to tech school.
When I was in the Army, it was of general consensus among all the branches of service that the Air force had the most beautiful ladies. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present Alisa Nicole as Exhibit A.......B...C..and D"
Can you do a natural makeup tutorial/grwm? 😍. I’m shipping out to bmt soon and I only wear makeup on occasions, BUT I’ve always had a makeup artist to do so. Don’t know what I’m going to do when I get to my first duty station and there’s no one around to do me up when I need it.
So after bootcamp/graduation do you immediately leave to your tech school or are you allotted a certain amount of time you can leave the base, go out for dinner, etc.
most people (who were vaccinated) got the option to go off base w their family and eat dinner or whatever, but we had to be back by 6. and then the majority of my flight left the next day (on friday)
When I was there we went straight to our next base the following day for tech school I believe it’s changed now to where you have a few hours with your family & have to be back by a certain time
What's your height? I suggest workout now if you want to pack on some size if you want to join the military someday, prefferably do some weights and mix in some calisthenics
You’ll be fine!!! Just find something every day to keep you motivated to keep going…& remember that bmt is nothing like the real Air Force so you’ll have something a lot better to look forward to.
It really depends on the base your tech school is at…When I was at my first part of tech school at Keesler we had roommates..no kitchen or anything just a microwave & mini fridge…so it just depends…If you know your AFSC & where your tech school is going to be you can look up how their dorms are set up. They usually have the single bedroom dorms with a shared kitchen & common areas reserved for permanent party
My recruiter told me the same thing but I definitely over packed so they were on my ass when we had to dump everything & let them look through our stuff😅. I had three bags so I would recommend the least amount of stuff as possible…so just one bag..plus you’ll be getting a backpack full of items as soon as you get there so that bag would be added to your bag amount…You’re also limited to 3 bags that they cover at the end of bmt when they ship you off to your tech school..so you’ll have the first big black backpack that they give you, the green duffel bag that you’ll eventually get and one of your civilian bags by the end of BMT.
Oh ok , my sergeant told me we only have to do 7.5 but it might change cause COVID is a lot more calmed down then it was a few months ago and thanks for the luck
I just seen an Air Force girl in the town i live in and she was a damn knockout... I think she must be the one i been getting ill toward. If i had known how much of a knockout she was or had been reminded of the good in the military, just through them showing up and replenishing my mind and faith. If i had known what kind of knockout she was... Shit idk why i was getting ill. Affiliated personally with her and i could make a shit ton of progress in life.
To sum it up, It’s basically planning & executing air missions…it’s so many different positions within the career field so it’s kind of hard to explain in detail, but you start off as an ST which is a surveillance technician. You help the WD (Weapons Director) by IDing aircraft to make sure they aren’t hostile & whatever else they need you to do. So it’s one of those jobs where you’ll be in front of a whole bunch of computer monitors
lol you mean tech school 😆yeah you're definitely not space force lol If you were you would have the insignia on lol. How did you let him trick you on that one? Well at least Luke is not your assigned base. That would be too hot to stay there for 3 years lol.

Giiiiirl leave as is if it doesn’t touch your shoulders then you can keep it in whatever short cut you have
@@AlisaNicole tysm for telling me this 🤍🤍🤍
So after bootcamp/graduation do you immediately leave to your tech school or are you allotted a certain amount of time you can leave the base, go out for dinner, etc.
Idk about now but back when i went u only had that weekend u graduated then u left the following monday
most people (who were vaccinated) got the option to go off base w their family and eat dinner or whatever, but we had to be back by 6. and then the majority of my flight left the next day (on friday)
When I was there we went straight to our next base the following day for tech school I believe it’s changed now to where you have a few hours with your family & have to be back by a certain time
After BMT and Tech School when will you be able go and visit?
8/17/21 I’m so readyyyyyy
Congratulations!! 🎉
Congrats that’s next week 😳

It's a long bus ride brother, beautiful base though. Nice and cool compared to San Antonio too

Its been 3 months. How is the Air Force?
You can't remember the day you graduated from boot camp? I completed basic Navy training in 1964 and still remember it was May 14th.
I’m 18 still in hs around 140 pounds considering the air force but am kinda scared I’ma get picked on for being small and “weak”
ima guy btw*
What's your height? I suggest workout now if you want to pack on some size if you want to join the military someday, prefferably do some weights and mix in some calisthenics
What EXACTLY IS THE JOB? Can you go Into detail please?
Do I get grow my hair back out after I cut for BT.
Not me coming across this video and realizing I know you! 😂

Its been 2 months. How is the Air Force?
im trying to cross train
If you really want it..DO IT!!
You really hate security forces huh lol
I definitely didn’t put that down in my list
@@wb2605 i wanna thank my leadership and my messed up back, lack of sleep and social life for this great career field lol
Do they allow you to get your own room after basic?
From my understanding, you get your own room during Tech School, however you still share a kitchen, living area, and bathroom with another girl.
It really depends on the base your tech school is at…When I was at my first part of tech school at Keesler we had roommates..no kitchen or anything just a microwave & mini fridge…so it just depends…If you know your AFSC & where your tech school is going to be you can look up how their dorms are set up. They usually have the single bedroom dorms with a shared kitchen & common areas reserved for permanent party
I had to share a room with 5 other guys.It was like prison.
What's your job? Are you active or reserve?
Your gorgeous!!
What are PT requirements? I wanna join but I’m nervous 😬
If you really want to you should! Don’t let your nerves stop you!!
And the PT requirements vary by age you can find them online
How many bags did you bring to bmt? My recruiter told me he brought 3. I'm just wondering if I should bring civilian stuff/extra bags.
My recruiter told me the same thing but I definitely over packed so they were on my ass when we had to dump everything & let them look through our stuff😅. I had three bags so I would recommend the least amount of stuff as possible…so just one bag..plus you’ll be getting a backpack full of items as soon as you get there so that bag would be added to your bag amount…You’re also limited to 3 bags that they cover at the end of bmt when they ship you off to your tech school..so you’ll have the first big black backpack that they give you, the green duffel bag that you’ll eventually get and one of your civilian bags by the end of BMT.

Did you have to do gas chambers/7.5 weeks cause of COVID or was it 8.5 weeks for you?
I did 7.5 weeks because of COVID & only had 3 days of BEAST so there was no gas chamber when I was there
Oh ok , my sergeant told me we only have to do 7.5 but it might change cause COVID is a lot more calmed down then it was a few months ago and thanks for the luck
i just graduated a couple weeks ago. we were told they’re going back to a full week of BEAST and bmt is back to the 8.5 weeks
@@eughhitsnobody oh I’m not sure cause I leave next week and my recruiter told me a few days ago as of now it’s only 7.5
I just seen an Air Force girl in the town i live in and she was a damn knockout...
I think she must be the one i been getting ill toward.
If i had known how much of a knockout she was or had been reminded of the good in the military, just through them showing up and replenishing my mind and faith.
If i had known what kind of knockout she was...
Shit idk why i was getting ill.
Affiliated personally with her and i could make a shit ton of progress in life.
wtf? you good fam? chicks come and go bruh dont even trip
So beautiful in uniform . Wow!
Lmao all y’all admins at that squadron got out of Keesler so quickly.
congrats beautiful
Dang is this my sign??? Same last name ❤
They did your graduation parade in BDU's and with masks on. Damn...no wonder recruitment is so low. Standards low, trickle down effect on display.
what is your job ?
It’s command & control battle management ops
Can you switch to another branch even after you signed your contract
You’re only stuck with your decision the day you ship out so the final swear in right before you go to BMT
Oh h e l l no... thank you for the video
