Kyle you convinced me to join the Air Force and I watched your bmt guides/stories. I'm at tech school now and I just found out I'm getting stationed at Okinawa Aswell! Thanks a lot bro
That looks like where my dorm building was in 1965/SAC Tankers. It was right across from the Airman's club on the main road. We had two beds, 2 little closets, and the latrine was down the hall..You young man have it made..nice..
i've been in the air force for 15 years now. kadena was my first base. i arrived back in april of 99. we still lived in the old ww2 dorms...h style, public bathroom. they were crap but i still loved it. i was there when they built the dorms you're in and DAMN did they cheat you guys on room space. luckily i got moved into 700...a definite upgrade. bottom line though, i look back on my memories of oki and i am truly envious of your position. small room or not, HAVE FUN.
Fucking luxurious compared to even an officer's living condition on an aircraft carrier.

Thank you for being a window into Air Force active duty life. I myself am planning on enlisting in the Air Force soon. I appreciate the videos, Kyle, and keep up the good work!
You have got a sweet layout compared to what I had when I was stationed there in 1975-77. It was a great time for me, just had to stay away from the barracks rats. Thanks for the tour and the memories.
Your enlisted living like that? Wow! Things have changed since I was there in 87-91 enjoy it have a blast make sure you get out and explore the island and also get down to Naha and take a boat over to Zamami or Tokashiki islands you'll love it!
We was there the same time you were and I'm dying to know did they remodel the dorms or what. I was supply and hubby was rescue. I lived in the Habu dorm. Remember the Habu? We got married in Naha.
Haha yes I remember the Habu. They did re do all the dorms. I worked over at AWACS AGE and I use to take my bobtail and go watch the engine tests for the SR it was awesome. Great memories.
Are you an Eaglekeeper? When I heard they tore down our dorm, I was upset as hell until I started seeing videos of the new digs. Our dorm used to be a hospital, so we had upstairs and downstairs TV rooms, projection TV, pinball, vending machines, and we were right next to the Mexican restaurant. That was 1985. I was in the 67th. Cocks rule!
When I was there guys that lived in the dorm were two to a room. At least the SP's dorms. I would rather have a smaller space and just have it to my self. My room at Clear AFS was smaller than that. No sink area and a baby fridge. Just a small room and the showers were down the hall...
yeah when my father was active duty at Travis AFB,Ca we had to live on base for 6 month's til my father was able to get a house outside the base which he's now retired,have you ever been station at Travis.
I know it’s 2019 now but I figured the military would provide WiFi. I was there in 2003-2006 as a military brat and remember dial up times, they just then started rolling out cable internet..(which you can hookup WiFi etc).
Hey kyle, Do you think it's better to do active duty for 4 years, or reserves. Which is the better option in your opinion for college. Or just go to school and take it all out in loans.
across from the banyan tree? i remember when they built those dorms, the people who had to move in them were PISSED! i was there in 99-01 (single) and then again from 04-08 (married). back in the day we lived in the old H style dorms circa WW2 days. single bedrooms, community bathrooms and they were nasty as fuck but it was still fun. they were across from the gym and track and behind the bowling alley. they have since been torn down. now they're just grass fields. luckily i avoided those "new" dorms that you're in and got put in 700. that was a major upgrade. shared a bathroom but that's it. we had our own sink and the bedrooms were massive. ah...i love okinawa. i even went to visit last year...you guys are under some bullshit rules, or rather, were-concerning the drinking and curfew. regardless, oki is still the absolute shit. enjoy your time there. you'll miss it when you're gone. SEND ME SOME COCO'S!!!!!!
Hey man, I'm a big fan of your channel and I'm leaving for BMT in about 2 weeks. I have a question for you, I'm a pretty tall guy (6'6) would the beds in tech school/bases be long enough for me? Would I be able to ask for a longer one? Thanks
Hay Kyle my name is Cameron. I plan on joining the AF begging of next year. I have quite a few questions regarding the whole process and all the small details. Do you have any other social media sites where messaging would be a little easier? Also, when your stationed at another base, do you not have check ups on your dorms?
i know its not relevant to this vid, but I am trying to get into the air force, but it seems like recruiters where I live are a bit hard to get a hold of. im a bit tired of staying at home and being bored. how long did it take you before being sent to bmt
When you get stationed over-seas how does shipping any of your possessions you may want work out? What's the limit on how much you can bring and how does the Air Force ship it for you or do you have to pay a private company to ship it?
Hey dude, Ill be PCSing to Kadena in June. Are all the dorms set up like this? Or does it vary building to building? And are you housed based on your group? Med group, CE, SF ect.. Any chance Sra can live off base? Take it easy
Hey Kyle, I know its been a long time since you have took the Asvab, But Do you have anything that will help for it? If so, would you do a video on it about the asvab?
I noticed all the plugs are fitted to the american plug rather than the Japanese, does the voltage convert? or does the air force pull some magic and supply their own electric?@Kyle Gott
All U.S. military installations overseas have the standard American 110 plugs. Most have dual capability. That is, U.S. and 220 (whatever there is). Unless you're stationed at the tiniest places, you'll find the bases overseas to be a small piece of America in the middle of a foreign country. You have to leave the gate to really notice you're not in Kansas anymore. Most places that I know, dorm inspections are pretty rare once you leave BMT and tech school. Maybe a couple of times a year max will they send someone from the orderly room to check to see if dorm rooms are radioactive. lol
man what wtf they made your rooms smaller, lived there two and ahalf yrs working on the F15s, what a job. internet what was that we didnt even half pagers or cell phones well maybe pager. had the sr 71 on the other side of the base took off like clock work. so im going to guess you already left but was b/c street there still and an unnamed alley ;) lol you make it to the Philippians ? from what ive seen on utube its not the same anymore clark afb is closed. talk to me son. oh and i was there back in 1985 to 88 loved it. storyies peaple just dont believe. so hows the gym/ they opened it about 9 months before i left loved it lots to do. px looks alot better to dam you guys got it made. feel any quaks while you were there? i was always drunk lol felt my first and last about 3 days before i went to castle afb. england is great to you ever get a chance to go do it. gotta go, have to get to bed have to be up in 4 hours for work. be safe bro.
Love it"Dorm Room" not a barracks anymore the new generation won't stand for that its a Dorm Room as if they were in College.. Have their own bathroom, sink etc.. nice spoiled.

You should make a video on how you manage your budget, and what you do and don't have to pay for.
Fucking luxurious compared to even an officer's living condition on an aircraft carrier.

Man, dorm life. Don't miss those days 😂

I'm Pol logistics (fuels apprentice), anything that deals with fuels we take care of. And yah for sure I gotta check out the island!

Show the parking lots so we can see what sweet cars people have
I noticed a mini Heineken keg under the sink. Haha.
Oh, my gosh. Wow. So, nice compared to 35 years ago when I was there. Count your lucky stars.
I have fire protection and I've been watching your videos even before I went to basic but they changed a lot of stuff when I went
I love that you cube, dude.
When I was there guys that lived in the dorm were two to a room. At least the SP's dorms. I would rather have a smaller space and just have it to my self. My room at Clear AFS was smaller than that. No sink area and a baby fridge. Just a small room and the showers were down the hall...
Dang I thought the dorms at Tyndall were small
Did not have that back in 1965-1967. Just bunk bed and locker. Common latrine.
yeah when my father was active duty at Travis AFB,Ca we had to live on base for 6 month's til my father was able to get a house outside the base which he's now retired,have you ever been station at Travis.
I know it’s 2019 now but I figured the military would provide WiFi. I was there in 2003-2006 as a military brat and remember dial up times, they just then started rolling out cable internet..(which you can hookup WiFi etc).
Have you ever thought about making a blog site?Because your videos are so helpful.Also how much does the internet service cost?
Hey kyle, Do you think it's better to do active duty for 4 years, or reserves. Which is the better option in your opinion for college. Or just go to school and take it all out in loans.
I knew it! Internet is a big deal to have overseas!
across from the banyan tree? i remember when they built those dorms, the people who had to move in them were PISSED! i was there in 99-01 (single) and then again from 04-08 (married). back in the day we lived in the old H style dorms circa WW2 days. single bedrooms, community bathrooms and they were nasty as fuck but it was still fun. they were across from the gym and track and behind the bowling alley. they have since been torn down. now they're just grass fields. luckily i avoided those "new" dorms that you're in and got put in 700. that was a major upgrade. shared a bathroom but that's it. we had our own sink and the bedrooms were massive.
