Do this BEFORE Air Force basic training OR you will STRUGGLE

- In this video I will discuss the most important tip for air force basic training. I was recently hanging around some MTI's at Lackland AFB, and they said if they could have it their way, they'd wish all their trainees came physically prepared before air force basic training. Apparently, trainees are don't do the most important thing prior to air force basic training, and that's working out. This tip is a Pro tip I am trying to stress to you. Please please please, take this seriously and start doing some kind of PT prior to basic training. It will make yours and your MTI's experience so much better. So understand how important it is to work out, and if you download the Aim High app, you can see a bunch of workouts that will prepare you for Air Force Basic Training. Good luck you all.

Man I been running 2 miles twice a day and at least 100 pushups and 100 pull ups a day. Appreciate all you’ve posted man. Definitely want to attain the Warhawk award as kind of a self motivating goal. I ship out April 27th
You’re definitely on track if you’re beasting like that. Keep it up and thanks for the support. 💪🏽💪🏽
I ship out April 27th too 🔥

@@christianaburch5597 *sister. I read Christian my b. I’m ik the gym 🤣
@@ChristopherJRoberson lmaooo 😭😭🤣
So I'm 210 lbs and 5' 6. Also, I'm trying to lose 40 lbs before Dec because then I'll have to take the asvab again. Runs are killing me, but in 2 months I've went from 35-40 minutes for 2 miles to 30-35 minutes. Still a lot to go, and senior year is kicking my butt, but your videos motivate me a lot! Thanks for the content!
update:
I'm 200 lbs now, and I've retaken my asvab. My 2 mile time has gotten down to 23 minutes so things are getting better! More work to go but things are looking up!
Keep grinding. Find your why, and use that everyday to continue forward on your journey. Keep us posted on your goals, that way we can congratulate you once you make it. 💪🏽💪🏽🙌🏽
Hey how are you doing now?
I was the same height and weight as you just go to the gym for about 3 months non stop I lost about 49 pounds I’m 158 rn
Same I’m same height and had to loose 30ish pounds and retook my asvab I ship out soon
Same I’m same height and had to loose 30ish pounds and retook my asvab I ship out soon
All you overweight folks, you guys are probably in the best spot so hang in there! Once you make the weight qualification, you'll also be in fit shape even if you still could stand to lose another couple more pounds! But for you, you're already on a roll with the fitness, the workouts and the eating healthy. Just keep it up! All the folks that already qualify for weight, but aren't that active, they'll have the toughest time at BMT because they don't have the good healthy habits like you do.
At least that's what I've told myself as I've worked at shedding the 20lbs I needed to get through MEPS, and still keeping it up before I ship out October 12.
You’re so right. You guys could potentially have an easier time in basic because you prepared better. Couldn’t have said it better. 💪🏽💪🏽. Keep working hard, it’ll pay off later.
Dude, LOVED the app plug. Thank you!
My recruiter taught us about the Aim High app during a student flight drill. It helps a lot!
I love training. It gives me a strong sense of accomplishment.
gonna start running and working out air force 2024 here i come!!
same
@@selfulsimma wait till next prez but goodluck!!
@@Cpt.Grey-hell yea can’t wait
@@Cpt.Grey-Jesus is ALWAYS in control! Trust Him!
you’re a lifesaver,, thank you sm for recommending the app. downloading rn!!!
No problem at all. 🤙🏽
Awesome video, thanks!
Love that football got me prepared
I’m a sophomore in college and I have no idea what I would do with my degree. I’ve been thinking about becoming an Air Force officer after I graduate and your videos are a good way to prepare before hand 👍🏿
Keep grinding man. If you’re really interested, I’d recommend around junior year reach out to the Air Force recruiter to get you started. Or go talk to your ROTC coordinator now and see if they can help.
Extremely helpful as always. Downloading the app now
Thanks for watching. Hopefully it helps you. 💪🏽
litterally needed this video, on that path to lose another 20 lbs for the AF.. l o v e your content!!
Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad I could help you. Good luck on the path to losing weight. You got this. 💪🏽🙌🏽
Where you at? ❤️
Updates?
It's always been a dream of mine to be in the Air Force, but I was never in military shape. This video is definitely motivation 😅
Thanks for your advice as usual
Thanks for the support. 💪🏽💪🏽
So helpful. Thank you.
Definitely a great video! I've not received a shipping date to BMT yet so I'll take advantage and do this while I get that date. Ty so much
No problem at all. 🙌🏽
Had a meeting with my recruiter for the first time ever biggest hurdle is getting the weight off so thanks for the advice !!
Ayeeee. Congrats on taking that step. You are right though, the biggest step is getting the weight off. The second biggest step is keeping it off. You got this. 💪🏽💪🏽Good luck, and if you have any questions, lemme know.
This is so helpful, thank you! Now I just need the motivation. 😅
Glad I could help. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
these videos are really helpful! i’ve got a long way to go before i can become an airman (i’m 5’4 200 lbs), so i’ve got to drop at least 50 before I can head to MEPS. but i’m aiming to be in peak physical conditions before i head out
I’m glad I could help. Keep grinding and don’t give up on yourself. You got this. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hows it going
Thank you so much for this!😁
No problem at all. 🤙🏽
Working on it. Thanks for the video as usual.
Glad to hear it. I really hope everyone takes this serious. The TI’s are saying this is a major issue with most people coming to basic training. Good job on doing your part. 💪🏽💪🏽
@@Jodywithawhy much appreciated got about 2 yrs before I can REALLY pursue so no excuse not to be in shape. Thanks again!
Currently I’m a junior in high school and I want to become a pilot. I’m planning on trying to get into the Wings over Washington flight training school because it’a a good boost for you in the air force if you want to be a pilot. But I want to start training for BMT NOW because I’ve gotten lazy and I’m out of shape. So I need time to get in shape and then get fit after that. This video was extremely helpful and I think the aim high app looks super straightforward and easy for me to follow and get the workouts done! Super excited to start!!
Get in touch with Jake Zweig former navy seal he will tell you everything you need to do in order to achieve your dream
I started my citizenship process before I decided to join and now I'm stuck until September to finalize that and start my air force journey. You and Kyle gott are my every day motivation to not forget what I'm working towards to. I love your channel so much
It’s all good. It’ll be worth the wait, because the citizenship opens you up to more job qualifications. Good luck on everything and thanks for the support. 💪🏽
i started my citzenship process before bmt. decided to join bmt anyway because i dont want to wait lol, plus I get citzenship rightaway after bmt from what I heard
in retrospect I could have waited to get more jobs like Jody said, I scored 96 on the asvab and had almost all jobs available. without citzenship theres only like 20 available. I plan to crosstrain for after 3 years of service (as a 2t331 vehicle maintenance) into drone technician or radar electronics tech.
Bro I’m going through that right now, I also started my citizenship process before my Air Force journey 💀
@@marcusvinicius-yo4iibro I'm about to start too in a couple months. anyway I could contact you to give me an idea on the process?
Thank u so much for ur content
No prob. 🤙🏽
Your advice has always been helpful I have a test on 17 March for asvab and i gotta loose 25lbs thank you Jody
Thanks for the support. And good luck with that weight loss. You got this. 💪🏽💪🏽

Thank you
Man straight up said inmates
im here for jody with a why big ups thanks alot for video
Always showing love. Thanks for all the support bro. 💪🏽💪🏽
As someone who just graduated bmt I can vouch for this 100%. Roll gator roll
Congrats on graduating bro. 💪🏽
JodywithaWhy Thank you bro!
2024 let’s go!! I’m ready. Downloaded app, downloaded the ASVAB app too. I started working-out, strength workouts, boxing, started running 3 days a week for 4 miles each time. I need to improve my sit ups & memorizing the Airforce Airman’s creed.
What else is required to memorize? 💪🏾💯.
Thank god I’ve had a personal trainer before I even decided to join 😂
I’m just here to like.
I'm gonna be a freshman this year, and overtime I've known that I wanted to be in a military branch and recently I've decided I wanna be in the Air Force and I wanna start getting fit and ready early so I'll fly by basic training
I really appreciate these. I was discouraged cause I’m 5’5 170 and i need to be 165 I work out so much and changed how I eat and it sucks cause I just feel stuck. I even have a trainer. But I got a passing asvab score.
Same I was 175 now I'm 167 but these last two pounds don't want to go and I'm ready to leave 😭
@@namjoonie9922 I feel you they are so stubborn. It’s frustrating but you got this don’t give up I finally went to meps last week for my physical. You will get there try doing the treadmill on incline and cutting all juice and soda and desserts.
@@Its.ash_lee I have been for a week now but I think ill add more 👍
If all you need to do is lose a few pounds, cut out liquids for a day and sweat out some water before your weigh-in. You'd be surprised at how much weight you can lose temporarily.
Im 31 and over 300lbs and I'm trying to lose weight so I can join the airforce.
you got this, jog a lot, focus on a diet and keep a strong will and you will get it.
Ayee you got it. I’ve seen people lose the weight before. Just gotta find your reason why. It’s gotta be a big why, because there will be days when you wanna give up. But if you have a strong why, you’ll always remember it as you go. That’ll keep you motivated. Good luck 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Same I’m 32, and dropped from 280 down to 250. Only 60 pounds to go. We got this!
I’m 19. Started my weight loss at 335 and I’m down to 195 and have around 5 more pounds to go. Calorie deficit is all you need my man ! You gotta want it.
Congratulations Alex. That’s amazing. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
Hi Jody, I am taking the DLAB next week and hopefully I get the 110! Do you have any info on ground linguists, their bonus, or where Arabic linguists are most likely to be stationed? There is not much info out there since it’s such a specialized field in the AF. Thanks!
I don’t wanna speak on bonuses because I’m not sure what they are right now. It’s not that much though, I can tell you that. As far as locations you can go, this link can help with that. Remember you’ll be a 3 level starting out, so you can only go to the locations where 3’a go. www.thebalancecareers.com/air-force-assignment-locations-3344114
Great video and content. Can you tell me why the E4 rank is one that most airmen have in the usaf? There are alot of E4s in the usaf.
E-4 mafia. Lol. It’s the rank before Non commissioned officer, and you gotta earn that rank through test and performance reports. You’re given E-1 through E-4, and then every one after that you gotta earn. So some airmen get stuck at that rank.
0:37
You’re wrong for that meme😂
😂😂😂. I needed an example. 🤷🏽♂️ lol
Currently 31 years old preparing to join the Air Force. Need to lose a bit of weight and then I'll be continuing with the recruiting process.
fastest mile 5:38 60 push ups in 1 go 15 pull ups i am 16 years old working towards being a PJ or navy seal but still kind of iffy on what i want to do. One thing is i don’t know how to swim 😤I am not scared of the water at all i just never really have the time or opportunity’s to really learn.
Learn how to swim bro. You got a lot of time between now and then, to become a strong swimmer. They have courses at the YMCA that can help and also if you get accepted in the special warfare program for the air force, they’ll develop you before you go off to training.
I also downloaded the AF DEP app which has a PT calculator too
i start basic in 15 days babyyyyy!
that dude's belly flop at 0:36 fucked me up
I’ve lost 45 pounds and have 18 more pounds to go. I’m excited about it. still losing weight. Hopefully I do well on ASVAB test. I’m very nervous about taking test 🤦🏾♀️
Thanks you don't know how long I've been trying to find accurate charts from a actual airforce website or app about requirements for the 1.5mile run.
It’s crazy but even these are a little outdated. Here are the current basic training standards for PT. ua-cam.com/video/nLI_qK1uTf4/v-deo.htmlsi=k-N7Qx3yOlkc2Mvq
@Jodywithawhy thanks appreciate the info man. But what site did you find that list on ??
I’m thinking about joining for the Space Force. I have been directionless so far in life and the Space Systems Operations role seems interesting. However; I am 29 years old and I weigh about 115 pounds soaking wet. I’ve never really worked out, more of the skateboard around type of guy. Did you have short super skinny guys in BMT?
Yea. I went to basic 6 ft tall and 139 Lbs. So you can make it man. A lot of its mental, so just stay focused while you’re there, and you’ll be fine.
I am 28 5'8 150lbs. I am small. How was it for you my guy? Is it really all mental?
What's up bro i'm 27 , 5'5 125 lbs . How was it?
How does the body fat testing go because currently I am 6’1 and 250 and trying to get down to 235 at least and I can pass all the fitness test (but do need to work on them which I’ve been doing) but is that all I need to be able to do basic training or do I need to pass other stuff to be accepted in basic training?
I’m almost off to basic and i still struggle with my mile is there anyway to improve it quicker?
I’m really shooting for honor graduate and I’m training hard for the PT aspect. My problem is the sit-ups which I thought would be the easiest but knocking out 70 sit ups in 60 seconds just doesn’t make sense to me. How does someone do more than 1 sit-up per second. I keep getting around 55-60 max. They aren’t hard and I’m doing them as fast as I can but I can’t hit that 70 mark right now. I’ll keep trying and training so we’ll see I guess 😂
All you have to do is touch your knees with your elbows. Once you figure out the rhythm of it, you can crank them out pretty fast. Also if you don’t have a bar or someone to hold your feet, it can be difficult to go fast. But if your doing 55-60 already, you’re in good shape man. You got this. 💪🏽💪🏽
Im in jrotc high school junior in im thinking bout joining the airforce
im a freshman girl in high school… 5’3 and 127lbs… im fit, but not fit enough for air force. i want to prepare very early. im scared im gonna be too weak😅
You have plenty of time. I’d recommend doing some sports while in high school to get fit and stay fit. The cross country team would be a good place to start if you want to challenge yourself. 🤙🏽
I wanna work on distance; fastest mile is 6:41 and first recorded 1.5 mile is 11:48(I think one 1.5 mile was sub 11?)
I’m a pretty built guy, but I love working out and have been since part of 2019, but got more serious in 2020. I’m hoping to be in the top 10% at least at BMT
Those are good times man. Just keep on it. Maybe try sprint drills too. Those really help increase your run time. They suck but they really help.
I’m aiming to get the Warhawk coin, any tips?
May you please make a video on making ranking when joining?
This video talks about rank when you initially come into the Air Force. It starts at about the :30 second mark.

@@Jodywithawhy thank you for this!
No problem. Thanks for watching and the support. 💪🏽
I mean....how do they even get to PT....without passing the physical?
How do people get to BMT without being able to do a single push up? I thought meps had a PFT?
Join civil Air patrol. For those interested in joining the military. If you get the Mitchell award in severe patrol. You get E3 when you join any branch of the military. Civil Air patrol also gives out scholarships. And we do a lot of cool stuff like search and rescue. let me know if anyone is interested.
I would like some info on this. I do already qualify for E3 since I have a AA-T degree
How do they get thru MEPS and not be able to do one pushup? Everything is so scrutinized...but they miss the minimum strength issue???
2:58 it’s too bad that it doesn’t actually tell you how to stretch! It would be nice if they showed diagrams or animations of the different stretches you should be doing like it does for the other exercises. Instead, you only get that one still image of a single stretch.
I’ve been deciding between Air Force and navy but idk what to do. Any advice?
I would honestly recommend do your research and figure out which one you vibe with most. Look at living conditions, culture and preparation for after military life. That’s my biggest advice. But remember, all the branches are a good choice, just gotta figure out which one you feel like is more in line with your goals.
Having a healthy mind and a healthy and fit body will make your life 100x more enjoyable. Get on that shit
Is it possible for anyone to pass the basic training boot camp?
On the Aim High App, it says men need to run 1.5 miles in 13:36. When I read articles about BMT, it says 11:57. Which one is it?
The PT standards have recently changed. This video covers the changes. ua-cam.com/video/nLI_qK1uTf4/v-deo.html
Using acronyms is a no-no for those that are not AF or civilians. Please explain for those that do not know who or what is a TI.
I train Jiu-jitsu 3 times a week. I be aight 😅
The MTIs and other trainees won't be trying to murder me. Lmfao
Tactical Aircraft maintenance on the older fighters. Leaving Mid may. Should be interesting
Any advice for studying man ?? Hoping to hear back from you
Crew chief. Ok. I was an electrician on the AC-130U Gunship when I first joined. You’ll have a fun time, maintenance is a fun career. Bunch of fun people.
Study arithmetic and math knowledge. That’s the easiest way to boost your scores quickly. Just remembering the formulas you were taught in school sometimes is the hardest part. Once you remember them, you can boost your score pretty quickly.
I got a 98 on the asvab and I have to agree. I studied all sections and when it came down to it, it really comes down to the arithmetic and math knowledge. Practice word problems too. Those get pretty confusing if you aren't familiar. And lastly, my test had allot of mechanical tool identification for some reason. Just make sure you get familiar with what tools do what. The study guides online are all good. Most importantly, don't stress. It's multiple choice. Some basic elimination will help you and you'll be fine.
@@Jodywithawhy figured I'd get your opinion if you can. I know going elisted first is not ideal. But I ultimately want to become a pilot. Current cut off is 33. How feasible do you see 80 credits and acceptance into ots by the end of this elistment being a crew chief? I'm 29 so clocks against me
I scored 84 on my asvab, I'm asking any air force vets or active duty personal which job would best fit wanting to eventually work for space x or NASA and or going to space yourself. Ik that astronauts need to be pilots but you need to be an officer to do so, so as an enlisted job what aligns well with that agenda. I also don't want to be taking lives I don't mind serving but I don't want to be responsible for killing people.
One of my friends actually skill bridge meaning left the military straight Into the workforce for a job in NASA. His job was avionics for heavy aircraft. I would go for a job that could translate to spaceship or something to work towards a degree. You can do maintenance and learn more about sheet metal and general maintenance of aircraft which is what most astronaut do alongside their experiments. Or you can get an electronic job and work at NASA as a tester or someone who does electronics. It depends on what you want to be at NASA or SpaceX. Try looking at jobs and see how they translate to the space agencies. There are a lot of good opportunities in the Air Force, just see what you want and go from there.
W video. Going to enlist to pursue a career in medicine 🇺🇸🫀
do they treat you like an adult in air force BMT?
I have multiple questions. After high school I went to college, and I am currently in college, but I really do not know what path to take. I just signed for engineering. I didn't really like it and I still don't like it. So, I was thinking what to do instead of college. I liked military, so I thought of joining Air Force for 4 years. I have not yet done anything or applied for anything because I want to physically get myself ready because based on the research I have done. It will be hell going to BMT not being able to run for 5 mins doing pushes and more. So, I am currently training myself. I will do my best for the next whole month and really get a nice physique. Be able to do the tasks in BMT not having challenging time in it. I of course getting myself mentally ready as well and so my questions for (Air Force tech school) Do I choose the classes, or They choose it for me. Will we do jobs in there. Will we live in the dorms that belong to the school or Live in a separated place we live in. How do expenses work. Will we be paid. Are all the meals in the school free or do you have to pay. Now about BMT. Do I have to bring clothes or will the BMT give specific clothes to wear. What about boxers do I have to get a-lot of it. What kind of bag should I bring. What devices can I bring is it only phone and charger or more (I am not planning to bring more than a phone and charger but I just want to know). Finishing BMT will they tell us what group we in and what bus are we going to take. Where are the bags must be when we wait for the bus. I love all your videos but none of the videos I have watched so far give me this information. So please tell me everything I want to know before going to BMT and getting start with Air Force. Thank you very much!
I’m 26 I’ve lost 65 pounds only have about 5 pounds left but I can only do 30 push-ups and only 35 sit ups, any pointers?
Congrats. That’s awesome. You can do 100 push ups a day, doing 10 sets of 10 reps throughout the day. Also, you can do the same for sit ups or exchange them for flutter kicks. That should help your get in shape quickly.
I lost my weight, just finished MEPS , and will be getting my job soon!!
Ayeeeee. That’s so awesome to hear. These are best stories to see. I love when y’all follow up and let me know you made it through. Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your journey. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy thanks man it’s been an interesting journey but I’m sure it will be well worth it
If I can do 1,000 push ups nd 500 pull ups a day I’m a worried abt no boot camp😂 plus I’m only 18. It’s just da food part im worried abt cuz I eat good but I have no body fat really wid a 8 pack

Can i shoot you a message on instagram on questions? i’ve looked but i can’t find it
I don’t have an insta. You can hit me up here though. Jodywithawhy21@gmail.com
I’ve heard that they barely have any run days, so if someone arrives with a 17 minute run time, is it realistic that they’ll be able to pass their final pt test?
You are right. Covid has been messing up their PT schedule while at basic. So they are missing PT days and if you come too far away from the standard, it’ll be very hard to reach that while in basic. So do everything you can to prepare before you leave, that way if you miss PT days while in basic, you’re still good to go.
@@Jodywithawhy If I run 1.5 miles in 20 min, I'm not ready for the basic?
I'm scary, I'll be ship in 1 month
Had to use Usain Bolt? Still the fastest man alive 😌😌
I love Usain. Just wanted to show that even best people aren’t immune to injuries.
@@Jodywithawhy I get you 💙💙
I’m not even trying to be funny or anything, but PT and final physical test kinda sounds like a joke.. mile and a half in 18:30 for men 😭 25 pushups and 35 sit-ups in under a minute. The standards have become so awfully low because they’re struggling for help. Nothing against people that can’t do those numbers and pass it but it’s absolutely attainable for the average person that works out 2-3 times per week.
Jody need some advices
What’s up
@@Jodywithawhy i really wanna join but I’m in situation where I’ll need a moral waiver how do I plead my case with a recruiter to prove I won’t waste their time and I will not tarnish their name or that of USAF
It really depends on the level of waiver. If it’s an easy waiver, you can come prepared with all of your police and court records regarding the offenses. Also write a letter explaining why it happened, why it won’t happen again and why you deserve a chance. That’ll make you look serious.
If the charges are too much, sometimes regardless of how much the recruiter wants to help, sometimes they just cannot.
@@Jodywithawhy thank you for your time brother I really appreciate it
L people who never worked out before.
Wow 0 dislikes
I have great followers man. They’re careful with my feelings. Lol.
Stop wacking off
No you don’t need to workout before basic …. It’s a cakewalk …. Literally .
Lol damn You think so? I ship out in 2 weeks
The best way that I prep for basic training, I started playing half court, then full court basketball (AND1). After 3x games of full-court, I did push-ups, sit ups and pull ups afterwards... 🏀 ⛹🏼 That really helped me out! :D
