No I don’t regret not joining at the age of 18 I was not ready at all I wasn’t in the place, time or day let alone right mindset also, I plan on making a UA-cam channel about joining at an older age and my experience.
Thank you so much for the video of what it’s like to be in the Air Force! So I’m also thinking about joining the Air Force, for the ASVAB test, do you have any good advices to study for the ASVAB test and get good scores?
You’re welcome, and I have a video on the asvab I believe it was the first video I posted on my channel! Check it out that’s the advice I would of given the day I taken it right now all I can think of is study hard and for an hour or 2 a day for a month and you should defiantly score decent!
Did you bring your laptop with you to BMT and store it until tech school, or did a family member bring/mail it to you? I'm joining the reserves and will be attending college while serving and I need to register for my classes while at tech school and originally my parents were going to bring my laptop when I graduate, but due to covid they may not be able to be there, so I'm curious how you were able to get some of your stuff after BMT!
@@AirmanNick Okay, thank you! I'm planning to pack a bag of things for my family to mail once I get to tech school so it's reassuring to know I can do that.
Good question, there is a marines barracks here I have a couple friends that are actually staying in it right now. It’s a similar dorm setup from what I have seen.
Hey sir. Do you recall what day of the week you got to call home and at roughly what time? Just a ballpark answer would be nice.. I have not heard from my wife since she got there a week ago aside from the 72 hour scripted call
Dan Stevens it was about 7pm I believe and first time beside the scripted call was after a week there but that was only because I was the first going through during the pandemic out break, if they still have that going on it should be once a week but if it’s not it’s gonna only be like 3 times the entire time she’s at bmt.
hey! i’ve been watching air force BMT videos since my boyfriend just shipped on 11/9. i was looking through the comments and someone said that during bmt your significant other they won’t cheat, but during tech school it’s a “fuck fest”. i’m not entirely sure why i’m venting to you, a stranger, but i just need some closure. we have been together for over a year, do you personally think he would? because i’m trying not to think that.
I don’t know your boyfriend but I would say that’s not entirely true. Most tech schools are pretty strict can’t have the opposite sex in your room bc ur still in training. So I guess it all comes down to the type of guy he is, I would say you have nothing to worry about.
@@AirmanNick i appreciate that so much. i’ve always trusted him but seeing things like that gives me anxiety. with you having a personal experience, it really reassures me. thank you so much! and i hope you continue to do amazing things
@@laurenc1741 Its hard to be seperated during training, reality is thats when you have to completely trust them to do the right thing. Its terrifying , take comfort that your not alone. We all go through those fears. You'll come out stronger on the other side no matter the result, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger.
I personally didn’t use boingo Bc I heard it was kind of slow but my roomate called up whatever the closest internet provider there was and got us a router
Understandibly reasonable if you can't respond quickly but in general how long did it take for you to leave Goodfellow? My understanding for 1n2 signals, its 84 academic days, which id imagine is 4 months rounded. Ive heard otherwise like people staying a year. Tldr How long did you stay there at Goodfellow.
If I graduate on time, I would of been here for 5.5 months . That’s with no wash backs it’s normal for people To fail a block and have to stay longer but if you keep passing you shouldn’t be here to long.
Question, If you are Homosexual it would seem you can bypass that one rule, if you and another homosexual wanted to ya know.. so the whole opposite sex thing is odd to me if they are trying to crack down on Fraternization. I am prior army and went to AIT back in the 80's and we had far more freedom than you all seem too. But thanks for your tour, my youngest is going Air Force and is about to head out, so I was looking up videos like yours to show him... knowledge is power. So Thank you!
that one I do not know 100% my flight was the first to start and end during the pandemic changes so we only had 26 guys in our flight so we all showered together
Every generation has it better. We were two man rooms, with lockers, and the bathroom down the hall servicing 14 people. No carpet - we waxed tile floors every week. And we kept our mouths shut because we had it good compared to the Army.
He said “pretty small” lmao def an Air Force answer from an Army perspective lol
What’s small is the cots you sleep on LOL
stay mad dude.
whatever, army loser.
It’s very similar to a college dorm, even with the cleaning check. Although I presume Air Force is stricter on the cleaning checklist
Yes they are but only if your room is a complete disaster lol
That's a 5star hotel compared to Army barracks
How bad is army barracks?
@@Latuza Depends on the unit. I'm in an air defense unit and the barracks have mold and occasionally power outage problems.
Good thing he didn't show you the AF mess hall with the linen tableclothes, candles, and waiters.
Army barracks in Fort Stewart have mold all over them
@@Latuza tons of people packed like sardine!!!
Keep up the great videos man, I’m 29 years young leaving Thursday for MEPS to join the Air Force.
Quintin Lee awesome bro, best of luck!
do you regret not joining when you were 18?
Hey Quintin, hopefully you get to see this message after BMT. But I’d like to hear your experience since I plan on joining in the next several months.
No I don’t regret not joining at the age of 18 I was not ready at all I wasn’t in the place, time or day let alone right mindset also, I plan on making a UA-cam channel about joining at an older age and my experience.
You’re so lucky. I’m still trying to qualify 😟. I look up to you guys. Keep up the great work.
Dang dude! The dorms at lackland, Randolph and Holloman definitely don’t look like this! This is huge!
They are just smaller there from what i have heard?
I leave for Airforce BMT on January 5th 😁
Hey I leave the 18th you’ll probably be a flight or two ahead of me
@@tristengorden6136 see you there champ!
Uh oh.... its the 6th👀 wonder how its going
@@winds1010 😂😂 it would be hilarious if they came back to the comment section after graduation with a run down of how it went
I literally just did the same thing 😂. I sure hope they do.
Way better than the Keesler dumps in 1977. The doors were louvered so you couldn’t escape the noise. Cockroaches everywhere.
hehe will be there as long as your tech school is for anyone worried its not all 5 months
Hey there thank you so much for all the videos
Stephanie Farlough you’re welcome I’m glad you enjoy!
Thank you so much for the video of what it’s like to be in the Air Force! So I’m also thinking about joining the Air Force, for the ASVAB test, do you have any good advices to study for the ASVAB test and get good scores?

I had all of my stuff sent to me through the mail. Only stuff I brought and had at first was some clothes that I took with me to BMT.
@@AirmanNick Okay, thank you! I'm planning to pack a bag of things for my family to mail once I get to tech school so it's reassuring to know I can do that.
I’m a Marine and I’ll be going there for my MOS school so will I stay with the airmen or is there a marine barracks there?
Good question, there is a marines barracks here I have a couple friends that are actually staying in it right now. It’s a similar dorm setup from what I have seen.
Marines? Bivvy on the back lawn I guess.
You weren’t joking that looks just like Kessler AFB
For some reason I'm mad nervous about how to work those washers lmao
Haha better start practicing
@@AirmanNick Video Tutorial: How to do laundry at tech school
😂😂
....How old are you?
What job do you have for a 5 month tech school?
I’m gonna be on Sheppard but do you know if it is possible to bring a desktop? Or are laptops only permitted
lightauz you can probably bring one if you really want too.
You can have a pimped out pc with a 50 inch tv if you want at Sheppard
Tactical Hillbilly thank you

@@AirmanNick you're the best dude!
Did you bring your laptop while in bmt or have someone ship it to you during tech school?
justin huynh shipped during tech school!
@@AirmanNick Thank you so much!
Great vid 🔥 I have a question tho do you lose qualifications for jobs if you don’t have a license?
Jose Yantin Jr maybe only if that job requires driving a vehicle lol, besides that I would say no.
Is it possible to travel for a weekend during tech school??
You can bring an extra TV and gaming consoles right?
Jayden Todd yes you can
In the army I had 74 roommates ...
What are the size of the beds? Twin? Twin XL? Also - are you allowed to have a mattress topper?
Once in tech school do you get a re issue? Can you have your ocp's fitted? Sewn?
You do not get issued another uniform but you can go to the dry cleaners and get them fitted that’s what I did.
I thought in air force u get private bedroom and maybe private bathroom?
What job are getting trained for ? I am joining next year AF
After you leave basic training, how long are you in Tech School?
It is different for everybody, it is all based on your specific job training. For me 5.5 months.
hey! i’ve been watching air force BMT videos since my boyfriend just shipped on 11/9. i was looking through the comments and someone said that during bmt your significant other they won’t cheat, but during tech school it’s a “fuck fest”.

I’m only here for 3 months
Do you know anything about the deps program?
Stephanie Farlough yes I went through it, so I know a little
Airman Nick how long did you have to wait and why dot they make you wait
Hey Nick, what option are they for Internet service? It looked like a router by the refrigerator? Is boingo any good? Thanks!
I personally didn’t use boingo Bc I heard it was kind of slow but my roomate called up whatever the closest internet provider there was and got us a router
@@AirmanNick Do you k now if it was a self install or did they have to come out and set it up?
I hope my roommate don’t snore😫

@@Farrow2332 transportation to where?
@@AirmanNick on weekends. Going out to get something to eat stuff like that
@@Farrow2332 usually would go with a friend that had a car but did take the bus a couple times into town.
You still have a room mate during COVID-19?
Yes I was
Has anyone else here gone through geospatial intel tech school and have any advice ?

that one I do not know 100% my flight was the first to start and end during the pandemic changes so we only had 26 guys in our flight so we all showered together

Can you have nicotine and vape products in Tech School?
Yes
Would I be able to send my ps5 over through mail ?
Do you have to have a roommate ?
