I like that Aloha shirt I saw in your wall locker. I served in 1989-2004. Was stationed at Cheyenne Mountain AFB in Colorado Springs, CO. Best years of my life!
Things have changed since I was there in 1980-1984 I was with Security Forces 834th SPS its sure good to see that Hurlburt has really grown.I have a lot of great memories from my time there.I was in the dorm for about 6 months then moved off base to Mary Esther. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck in your future and Thank you for your Service and sacrifices
I lived in the same building in 1990 when it first opened. Back then we had roommates, unless you were career. Also the only furniture we had was the bunk bed, so a big improvement.
Hurlburt was my first duty station. When I got there in 2000, I lived in an old dorm next to The Reef Dining Center. Then after two years, they made a new dorm, next to the BX and Commisary. So I lived in a brand new dorm room, until I PCS'ed to Osan Air Base, South Korea in 2004.
I was stationed at Hurlburt from 1995-1999. The dorm layout is exactly the same except the furnishings have been upgraded. I also had a roommate until I made E-4, the bed was a twin and the fridge was just a mini-fridge. One day I should upload the video of have of my room for a now vs. then comparison.
Thank you for your service and sacrifices, along with this informative and helpful video Airman Nick; AIM HIGH HOUSING FORCE!!!!!!!🙏✌️💙😎 #AmeisterAmericaINC🇺🇸
Neat this will be cool to see my self inthe future. Rn i have to go into dallas tx in the morning for my asvab finally. Hopefully i hit the percentage i want to get the position i want in the air force soon
Love the videos man, I’m in dep right now waiting for a ship date and you actually inspired me to make my own channel about Air Force content, keep up the great work!
Is there a lockout feature for that bathroom so strangers don't walk in your side of your room when you aren't there? I know you said you know your roommate but what if you didn't? Thanks man keep it up
If you have any valuables get a heavy suitcase safe . The repair men have access to your room . They will give you notice their coming .My friends son was robbed while on leave. He doesn’t know anything if it’s them or the roommate. they were changing ac filters. .
@@TDK2K no we have a bunch of bases we could go too but it just so happened they sent us all to the same base so the dream sheet didn’t really mean anything.
40 years ago, we all couldn't wait to get out of the dorm and "on the economy". 75 years ago, my dad couldn't wait to get out of the dorm either. I guess some things never change. This style dorm seems so nice, I would think guys are in less of a hurry to leave than your previous generations were. Of course, I then remember the; no-knock inspections, lack of respect for shift workers, hey-you details, dorm managers prowling through your stuff when you weren't there, etc. Those are probably some of the things which have not changed. BAH (BAQ back in my day) was flat rate, and about $165 for a single A1C. You could rent pretty much nothing for that, so most of us had a roommate or second job to live off base.
As said in a previous comment I posted earlier, I leave on the 19th. If anything changes, just in terms of how bootcamp is and stuff Id love to give you some info on it for future videos to help gain more of a following maybe and stay updated. Apparently covid has everything changing a lot according to my recruiter, supposedly I wont experience the tents or anything. Not much good at making videos myself but you’re clearly pretty talented with it so if anyone is gonna spread the word I feel it should be you rather than me 😂
That sounds great keep me updated and Yes I know tents are no longer a thing in my previous videos I explain I was the first and only flight in bmt history to have to live in tents while starting out.
Are you allowed to mount things to the wall there? More specifically a TV? I ship out for bootcamp on the 19th this month want to know if its worth packing my TV that has super wide stands that wouldn’t fit on that dresser.
Would I be able to bring a gun safe with some valuables in it to my dorm when I’m stationed somewhere? And would I be able to have my own gun inside of my dorm if it’s in the safe? Also I’m guessing I can have whatever I want if I live off base
Great videos. I’d like to know what PT is like since it has changed since COVID. Can you do a video on it? Is it in the new BMTSG? See my channel for the pre-COVID PT.
I have a PT video out from how it was when I went through bmt, but it more than likely changed a little bit bc of covid. But I may possibly put out another video on the new change soon thanks for the input.
How did you bring your stuff to your base. I just signed my contract and never really had this explained. I would like to bring my pc to where ever my first base is.
Just got through MEPS yesterday and got my contract still waiting on a ship date for basic, I know you had said we don’t get the base pass after basic I was wondering do we still get leave after tech school or is it straight to the first duty station?
Yes they do when I was there it was about 75 yards from my dorm! You actually could eat 5 different meals a day! You had breakfast, lunch, supper, carry out after supper and midnight chow ( breakfast) that was for change of shifts for fighting maintenance and others from 2nd shift to third! Great food as well!
How does it work? Does the Air Force allow you to go home when you complete Tech School to get your personal belongings to bring to your dorm at your first Duty Station? Do they provide movers to bring your stuff to your dorm or is it all you?
Yes they let you go home and bring it to your duty station after tech school and if you need help I’m more than positive they could send movers to get your stuff to bring it there for you.
I like that Aloha shirt I saw in your wall locker. I served in 1989-2004. Was stationed at Cheyenne Mountain AFB in Colorado Springs, CO. Best years of my life!
Finally, thank you so much for making this video about the base dorm. I’ve been looking for one since it will be my first duty station.
No problem you’re welcome glad it helped out!
That’s crazy bro. I remember watching you months ago before I even signed up and now I’m in tech school 😂😂😂
Dang that’s insane! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I’m gonna start my personal channel soon! Got me motivated 😎
No problem thank you for watching the videos! Best of luck I’ll check it out when you do.
No way!! That’s my first duty location I’ll be there February lastest the first week of March!
Wow awesome bro see you here!
That looks awesome man! If you don’t mind me asking, what is your job in the Air Force?
based off his tech school goodfellow he is probably something intel. That would be my guess.
Or a firefighter because they go to Goodfellow as well
@@sethbutler8083 nah he’s definitely intel. He went to tech for 6 months. Fireman is 2

Can you do a video based on your daily schedule? Or what you plan on doing for fun and etc?
Yes forsure I plan on it.
Nothing like in the 60s..community shower and two room mates

Hey I live in Dallas and I’m taking the asvab soon, how’d you do?
I’m taking it tomorrow in Dallas!
@@colliermatthew76 yo! Today’s the day! Good luck man! I hope you’re well rested and eat some fruit for breakfast!
@@scottpollock6549 thanks man but it got canceled because of the weather 😔
Not too shabby. I leave March 9th!
It’s alright, and nice best of luck.
You really have some great content dude keep it up I enjoy your videos!!!
Thanks josh appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Ghosting is amazing your room definitely looks the part
Nice shoe collection, Sir! 🔥
Hahaha thanks
I really enjoyed your video. I want to see more content from you.
Love the videos man, I’m in dep right now waiting for a ship date and you actually inspired me to make my own channel about Air Force content, keep up the great work!
Awesome bro, best of luck on your Journey! Thanks for being a subscriber!
I'm sure you've been told, but it is not an AFB, just a field. When I first got there in 1992, it was technically, Eglin AFB, Auxiliary Field #9.
You motivate me to chase the Air Force dream
Hell yeah brotha!
Should definitely do a video on your job
Are you allowed to have one of those little portable stovetop ovens?
Also thanks for the awesome videos!
If you want you could probably buy one. Thanks for watching.
@@AirmanNick You the man, thanks!
you should make a video on college vs the military
You should make a video on all the stuff you get issued during bmt and after if theres any
You pretty much get your uniforms issued, PT gear and Blues.
Love your videos man!
Is there a lockout feature for that bathroom so strangers don't walk in your side of your room when you aren't there? I know you said you know your roommate but what if you didn't? Thanks man keep it up
Yes sir you can lock your side and keep the guy next door out.
If you have any valuables get a heavy suitcase safe . The repair men have access to your room . They will give you notice their coming .My friends son was robbed while on leave. He doesn’t know anything if it’s them or the roommate. they were changing ac filters. .
Congrats on finishing tech school. Was Florida on your dream sheet?
Yes it was my last pick on my list but my entire class got stationed here so it didn’t really even pertain to my list.
@@AirmanNick wow, entire class? how's that possible, your job is limited to a few bases?
@@TDK2K no we have a bunch of bases we could go too but it just so happened they sent us all to the same base so the dream sheet didn’t really mean anything.
Looks good bud!
Thanks man just moved in.
Yo im getting stationed here pretty soon ! ill be apart of the 1st spec ops comm sq.
Awesome bro hope to see you around
You mentioned getting BAS. Is the DFAC not operating?
It’s operating but we aren’t on a meal card at this base so they give us BAS instead because of our hours of work.
Just what I needed that you ❤
hay i really like you viodes i am in yera 9 and i hav been n eagch about join when i leave school but your vidoes have made me wont to join even more

Buy yourself and electric stove to plug and cook. Also go eat at the dfac, its cheap.

@@stevenzarate3085 awesome, best of luck!!
I saw some sort of Hemp product in the shower, I thought we weren’t allowed to use hemp products?
That’s body wash, you are allowed to us that lol.
@airman Nick , yoo is that a internet modem on the floor next to your TV? are you paying for your own internet btw? thanks
Yes, we have to pay for our own wifi I split it with the guy next door.
@@AirmanNick oh for sure, thank u for replying
I’m going to meps tmr wish me luck
Best of luck
Are you allowed to mount things to the wall there? More specifically a TV? I ship out for bootcamp on the 19th this month want to know if its worth packing my TV that has super wide stands that wouldn’t fit on that dresser.
They told me I was only allowed to put a certain size hole in the wall that was pretty small so I made this work.
Are you able to buy a small table top stove? They aren’t that expensive I just wonder if it’s allowed
You’re not technically supposed to in the dorms
Good
could you buy your own funture and take out the milltiry funtire.
Would I be able to bring a gun safe with some valuables in it to my dorm when I’m stationed somewhere? And would I be able to have my own gun inside of my dorm if it’s in the safe? Also I’m guessing I can have whatever I want if I live off base
Good question you could have the safe but they will not let you have a gun.
Guns checked in @ the armory on your base.
How do you get your tv from home to your base ? I’m going to want to get my big monitor from home. Did you drive or fly?
Great videos. I’d like to know what PT is like since it has changed since COVID. Can you do a video on it?
Is it in the new BMTSG?

How did you bring your stuff to your base. I just signed my contract and never really had this explained. I would like to bring my pc to where ever my first base is.
How did you manage to fit all your shoes and clothes in your luggage?
I drove to my duty station so I threw it all in my truck.
@@AirmanNick gotcha hopefully I can get as much stuff that early on
Aye man quick question, why did you have multiple cami’s in your closet and what for? Just to have multiple?
They supply you with all of those while at bmt.
It’s good to have more than one as well
Just got through MEPS yesterday and got my contract still waiting on a ship date for basic, I know you had said we don’t get the base pass after basic I was wondering do we still get leave after tech school or is it straight to the first duty station?
I took leave right after tech school graduation before heading off to my first duty station.
@@AirmanNick okay nice thank you!
So the Air Force says you don’t have to have a roommate but the army you have to have a roommate ?
When you are in Tech school you have a room mate ? And when you are at your first duty station you get your own room?
Yes I have other videos on the channel check them out! And yes have ur own personal room when u get to ur first duty station!
What’s your advice for someone that’s barley getting out of high school and planning to join ?
Bud Light Seltzer’s. Yee yee!
Are you allowed to have a toaster oven?
Is the wifi great?
Just saying u can buy a stove top like one u can put away there small
They say we are not allowed to have that type of stuff. I bought a skillet though.
Did Hurlburt not have dining facilities?
Yes they do when I was there it was about 75 yards from my dorm! You actually could eat 5 different meals a day! You had breakfast, lunch, supper, carry out after supper and midnight chow ( breakfast) that was for change of shifts for fighting maintenance and others from 2nd shift to third! Great food as well!
Are you still in Hurlburt field in the dorms??
What are the nicest dorms in the USAF?
Not this base
Atleast not my room lol
What sides bed is that
What rank are you and how many years in already?
Don’t you have to be a certain rank or married to live off base?
E4 usually for the Air Force.
Or you could get married.
How does it work? Does the Air Force allow you to go home when you complete Tech School to get your personal belongings to bring to your dorm at your first Duty Station? Do they provide movers to bring your stuff to your dorm or is it all you?
Yes they let you go home and bring it to your duty station after tech school and if you need help I’m more than positive they could send movers to get your stuff to bring it there for you.
@@AirmanNick Thanks Nick! This helps.
I thought you were married😂. Do you know how the houses are for married couples
You would receive BAH and live off base in an apartment or house whatever suits you best.
Thank you for the info man 👍
