I’m thinking about joining the Air Force. I’m currently in college but not really enjoying it and kinda feel stuck in life right now. My dad is an Air Force veteran. Your video really has put things into perspective. Thank you!
What im going to hopefully do because I’m currently in college is go with reserves and still go through college
Not going lie i been thinking on joining too

I’m so glad you went into detail about your process. It helps so much!
So glad it was helpful!
I was a Coast Guard recruiter. You were an awesome applicant. Continued success in your Air Force career.
Thank you so much!
I’m seriously happy you talked about the DLAB test because my Recruiter noticed that I’ve taken honors Japanese in grade school and I scored pretty well on the ASVAB or PICAT( which is the online link you’re talking about). I told him I’ll look into the crypto linguist but my main goal is to do medical since I have 1 year left in nursing. You’re so informative and my MEPS is next week. It took me a while because of my High metabolism is a blessing and a curse... mine was acting like a curse for me because I finally reached the weight of 125lbs so it’s been a long time coming sis but we here now! Lol I appreciate you thank you!!
I’m glad my video was helpful to you sis! And wow that’s amazing, definitely look into the linguist career field if you can, but also medical stuff and your background is great too so either way you’ll be fine! I’m excited for you!
Ok, but can we take a moment for all the gorgeousness 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you for sharing your experience.
You’re amazing I’m happy for you sis
Your videos are awesome… Thank you for sharing your experience…I’m joining the army as a 35p…I passed my DLAB… but please know that was the hardest friggn test in my entire life!… lol… I encourage if you plan on taking it to study and prepare as much as possible!
Awesome video! Very good recollection of how the process goes. I haven't heard anyone reference those books before so I'll have to recommend them to my applicants! Keep up the great content! 👍
Thank you sir!! Yes, those books helped me out so much. I would HIGHLY recommend. Thanks for tuning in!
This video was super helpful to me! Thank you!
Great video! I’m trying to enlist as well! But sidenote: the hair sis 😍😍😍😍😍 love it
Thank you so much for watching! And thanks girl 💁🏾♀️💕
Just started watching your video. You’re soo pretty. Ok…I’ma finish the video now
I’m actually considering to join the Air Force but I want to finish my AA first but damn for some reason I’m getting really interested into this
Did you go?
Thanks for your story. I'm trying to get in myself as active! :) also, love your channel name! Very unique 👌
So pretty :) Im looking to join the military Air Force and this video is really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you sis! And that’s great, I think you should definitely pursue it. Glad my videos could be helpful to you!
You’re sooo pretty 😍
When it comes to the Picat verification even if you verify your scores you might have to do the entire test again just go in there prepared.
Hey girly,
First, you’re so beautiful!!
Second, how has your experience been in the military? How long did you sign on for?
Sisss you are beautiful 😍😍
Aww, thank you so much girl! 💕
You’re a Gem 💎
I have a degree but I don’t care. I am enlisting in the Air Force this year.
I have a general discharge from the marines and was wondering if I wanted to join the Air Force how could I get a waiver for the marine's discharge?
I have been waiting a year to enlist because I’m getting my tattoo removed. I can barely see it but my recruiter is being picky. He’s never checked up on me or contacted me since I met him last year. I always would have to contact him but he barely responds. Your recruiter sounds amazing! I think I need a different recruiter
A girl in my flight had to get neck tattoos removed, you could still see them though, it wasn't completely gone but just way less noticeable, you should definitely still be okay! And yeah my recruiter was great, it sounds like you need a different one. Don't hesitate to find someone else, they can really make or break your experience!
Hello, thank you for the video, actually I want to join the air force but I don't know what should I need to study for the ASVAB test, please can you help me?
@ebonyjasmin Im 17 and a senior in highschool and I was wondering if you could give me some advice about enlisting because I want to enlist but Im lowkey scared and don't know if I should enlist right after high school or wait until after high school.
Hey! Ultimately it’s up to you and what your plan is/what’s best in your situation. I personally think it’s very smart to enlist right after high school and put yourself ahead of the game, especially if you don’t know exactly what you want to do in college. You can set yourself up, still learn a skill, get your degree for free, save money, I think it’s a very smart choice.
You are beautiful!!!!! like gurl we need a how to stay feminine in fatigues u are on point!!! ok bavk to listening loll
I want to join but I have a history with asthma and I was prescribed Zoloft as a teenager.. I’m conflicted because people are telling me to tell the recruiter/meps the truth but at the same I don’t wanna lie and get kicked out of BMT after my 2nd or 3rd week! I hear there are waivers I could sign but idk how that works
Im trying to join but my process is so longggg … i took the piCAT i scored a 72 but its still a long process i had 30 days to validate it but the 30 days passed … now im still sitting here waiting im ready to start a new adventure but its so long , im ready to go frl .. like im just praying my recruiter gets in contact with me !
Your skin is gorgeous
Your face is so nice looking. good info vid!
I'm made for languages. I'm trying to join the AF as well and I speak 5 languages and study 5 more. I really want to become a Cryptolinguist, but other Air Force UA-camrs say not to go to your recruiter only wanting one job. My question is: Does the Air Force really ever have too many linguists to the point where there are no jobs available? I don't want to seem picky or ungrateful to my recruiter, but language is my specialty and it would be a huge waste of time and talent for me to do anything else.
I’m currently trying for this job as well and my recruiter said linguists are one of the most in demand jobs, and that they “always need linguists” if that helps!
@@xlilz That's good news!
love your skin, soo cute
Do you remember what your score was on the ASVAB? I’m joining soon and I’m nervous about the ASVAB! Great video btw you’re super pretty
She said around 80-ish
Without the DLAB, how long is MEPS ? Basically I have my daughter ( single mom ) and I’m seeing how long my grandma would have to watch her . And MEPS where all of that physical exam happens is your local MEPS office ? Do they pick you up ?
MEPS was 2 days for me. And I left from my local recruiting office (they do offer rides if you need it) and my MEPS location was about an hour and a half away!
Hi! I'm currently talking to my recruiter right now to start enlisting. I really want to be a linguist but I am a single mother. From your experience and knowledge of your job do you think it is wise to choose linguist while being a single parent. I would love your feedback since you're actually in and doing that job!
Hi love! From what I see, there are a number of people here at my tech school studying to be linguists who have kids/families, so it is definitely possible! I can ask around for my specific information on that and get back to you.
Did you have any problems with your family? How did they take the news or react to you enlisting in the military
I had a good amount of support in this decision from my family. I know it't not the same for every one, but you just have to remember why you're making the decision and why it's important to you. Because at the end of the day it's your life to live, not anyone else's ya know!
I am so late but I have a quick question. I see you have a nose piercing. I went on the the website and was confused. Coming in can you have a nose piercing or does it take time for them to approve it?
Hey girl, sorry for the late reply! So I’ve had my nose pierced long before I enlisted. You can’t wear it in basic training/in uniform/while on duty, but on your own time it’s perfectly fine. Hope this helps!
I will most likely join the airforce; I want a security force job or something in law enforcement.
Lol security jobs are the worst
Not that I’m biased or anything buuuuut, the AF is definitely the best branch lol. Good luck in your pursuits!
I been thinking about joining, but it gets me nervous
How do you find reviews on recruiters ?
What were the websites or books you used to study for the ASVAB I’m trying to join?
I actually didn’t get a chance to study at all for the ASVAB so I’m not sure, but if you search on google I know some good options will come up!
But what was your score? Your videos help and i want to have have a standard to see where i should be
Omg your gorgeous
I'm not going to lie it was nice to hear your story bit not enough details lol
What did you do to prepare physically for BMT?
I started working on the things I knew they would test for in BMT, so running, push ups, and sit ups! I just started do them every day and adding on to it. But they’ll definitely get you where you need to be at BMT, so just prepare a little at least.
When can you go off base ? Like to shops and stuff ? And is there a leave where you can visit family or come back home ?
You get 30 days of paid vacation to visit family or whatever and when you not on duty you can go anywhere close to the base
In tech school there’s a phase program where you have to wait a certain number of days before getting specific freedoms back. Usually after the first 30 days you can start going off base.
As far as in the operational Air Force, yes you get 30 days of PTO a year that can roll over up to 60!
@@ballermane1755 how far off base can you go
Looking up military videos, looking to join, side note have to say your skin is flawless and you are so beautiful.
Aw thank you so much!
Girrrl u a genius. I didn't know anything without refreshing my brain when I started looking at the asvab. Shiiit has my brain hurting. And the dlap sounds hard asz fuck even triple hard if u saying it's hard. It's weird with the weight requirements. I'm 4'11 and 130 pds. I'm like right at the limit. But damn yeah I'm in no way fat. They should def change the weight requirement.
did you take the ASVAP test 2times
What did you score if you don’t mind me asking ?
Hi, I know this is an older video, but I noticed you had a nose piercing... your allowed to have them in the military, or the air force ?
You can have it but not in uniform so when she leaves to work she has to take it out. You can’t have it at all during BMT
Wasn’t there a time when you could just sign some papers, get a basic physical right there and then ship out haha? This sounds like going to college. Awesome video though, im 26 and starting this process soon
theres like only 2 recruiters in my city , one didnt wanns hear me out at all since i have a very very tiny behind ear tattoo. so well see
Omg girl please try to find a different recruiter and explore your options. A good friend of mine in my flight had a neck tattoo and was in the process of getting it removed, but it was kind of visible and she was fine. Don’t let that stop you completely!
THATS WHAT IM TRYNNA DO! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS! Can I message you?
I'm Ethiopian Royalty and tu are Dinka,South Sudanese American Society..
DMV n’da howse!
I'm Ethiopian Royalty and tu are Congolese and South Sudanese American Society..
An hour and 45 mins for a practice test?! 😩
Great story just subscribed to your channel, since you’re an E-3 I assume you have ur degree already why didn’t you come in as a Officer?
Thank you! And I get that question alllll the time. I’m planning to make a video going into detail about why I chose to enlist vs. try to commission as an officer so stay tuned for that!
EbonyJasmin okay great, looking forward to it. I followed you on IG you said you follow back (longlive_airborne) so we’ll see if that’s true. 😏
If you were talking to me , we would be making hella eye contact ! You are so beautiful ! 😭
Lol aw, thank you!
What were the two books that you studied for the DLAB?
I used “The Official DLAB Training Manual...” by Robert Cunnings and “The Complete DLAB Study Guide...” by William Patton both kindle books bought on Amazon!
Thanks for the info. Also, your skin is incredibly beautiful!
@@landost.claire401 Of course, and aw thank youuu!
Seriously! 🤓👀
what did you get on your asvab?
I believe I got around an 80ish!
I scored close to perfect on my ASVAB, and scored 7 on my DLAB 🤣
That DLAB was no joke. I didn't score high enough, unfortunately.
It really wasn’t. I’m sorry about that though, I’m sure you still did well considering the kind of crazy test it is!
@@EbonyJasmin I did, thanks!!
Nice. Informative helpful insightful funny AND pretty?! 😊👍🏼
Mmm, I'm underweight, I think. I am 5 ft 2 and weigh 115 pounds.
I’m 5’4 and weigh 108 and I was fine
@@angelove1441 do we have to be strong like an Amazon?
Who were those people that were cheering for you in the background?........
What type of math was on the Asvab?
Arithmetic reasoning (math word problems) and math knowledge. So make sure you know your math formulas. And algebra. It's a pain in the ass you can't use a calculator. So when your trying to multiply or divide anything you have to do it the old school long way. We talking elementary Jr high and highschool! All that jazz. Good luck!
Btw nobody going to say but I am u is so beautiful 😍
When do you have to take your nose ring out?
You can't have facial piercings in in uniform. but I have a clear retainer I keep in while I'm on duty so that it doesn't close up!
EbonyJasmin yes! The answer that I needed! I love my nose ring and I want to keep in when I join lol
Yesss maam you will be PERFECTLY fine! I have my actual ring in at this very moment lol. It was a 4 day weekend :)
EbonyJasmin Oh awesome!! 😁So my only question would be then is during MEPS/BMT/Tech school should I wear the clear retainer during those times? And like you said in uniform wear the clear retainer?
Yes ma’am, the clear retainer will be your best friend! During BMT though I didn’t have the clear retainer yet, we actually got really creative with that kind of stuff. A cut bristle from a hard brush works really well and can’t be seen, but you didn’t hear it from me 😅
what college did you attend ?
USAF was smart to pick you
Aw, thank you! I graduated from James Madison University in Va.
When did they give you a drug test?
Are we allowed to have some tattoos?
yes google it
You are beautiful
How did you study for the asvab? Did you study at all 😂
I actually didn't study at all, only because I thought what I was taking was just like a practice test. But I know there are a lot of study books for the ASVAB you can order/access online!
A prettier missy elliott 😁
are you single
