If anyone thinks they look sad, they arent. This is the look of first weekers. Haircut is nothing. The travel there, first night experience, and culture shock has you feeling like nothing else ever could. Joining was the best thing i ever did! 321st Jan 1997! Makes you a man. You will go home after basic and tech school and your loser friends will still be living at home and smoking weed.
I went in 2004 and the old guy closest to the door cut my hair a few weeks into BMT. I remember him being a kind old guy. I had cuts where my ears attach to my head from the damn eyeglass straps pulling down on them and he noticed it and took the time to put some bacitracin on it. The haircuts are a 5 min chance to sit and do nothing - it’s wonderful!
We didn't dare laugh at the time, but it was funny for everybody to have their head shaved. You're all in the same boat and it's much cooler and easier to take care of. It's part of the process of breaking down individualism and reforming into a team.
I remember that first cut like yesterday. They had someone there taking photos & I’m trying my best to look normal & hope she didn’t come to me. Naturally she got all in my face & I couldn’t help but smile like a goober. I wish I could find that book.
My recruiter told me to not shave my head before basic training because they're still going to try to take some hair off. Apparently it's some sort of requirement for the barbers.
more like a damn scam.....I was already nearly shaved when I arrived for Army Basic and still had to go under the damn electric shaver. But damn, good times back in 97
I love seeing people with long hair have it all clipped off, looks far better There are several people I would like to cut the hair off from, but I know I cant
because if you cut your hair really short when you get there they'll still make you get a haircut even if it looks like that they'll say "Oh this is the most easy haircut."
@OneRyLove you're right, but the thing is you're going to get a haircut either way, even if you're already completely buzzed and balled. You're getting clippers ton the head.
My dad was telling me about a guy who did that and a guy who shaved his head before they got there and not only did the TI's get in their ass about it but they still made them sit down and get their hair cut...
No. They will cut your hair even if your bald. The reason is they charge you money for the cut. They take it straight from your paycheck so regardless how your hair is, your getting a haircut.
Not really to piss people off. I just don't think its smart to use your real name when you like to troll. It was a random choice. I would change my profile name but google/youtube limited name change to once every six months.
@jayseo I asked my parents. They wouldnt let me. they said it was too expensive :/. as long as they remove it properly i could care less!! and when do they do it? do I have to schedule an appointment with them later or is it in zero week?
trayvon king tell me about it. I was in Fort Sill for my basic training back in 97 & in 98,I along with the other guys starting growing their waves back & we were wearing bald fades. The drill sergants had a damn problem talking having waves in our hair was destruction of government property WTF?!!
Some of those people cut my hair. They cut it three times at basic. Week 0. Week 3 and week 7. Do not cut your hair before. They will make you cut it anyways
+¡mpact Designs Do you honestly think that anyone there gives the slightest fuck of how you want your hair cut? Did you not notice how every single person got it cut? Every male will have their head shaved. You are a flight. You are a team. None of you are different. Male or female, you are all equal. There is no ladies first, everyone is equal. But no, a female will not have her head shaved.
Then you don't want to be in the military. They don't make exceptions in Basic Training lol. Once your out of basic you can grow it out a little on top but still has to have a tapered appearance and not touch your ears or collar.
if you go to basic with your hair already cut, they will give you shit like saying stuff like oh you already think youre in the military huh?! and they will still "shave" your head
Why wouldnt guys just make it easier on themselves and cut their hair before they go....some of them have all this long bushy hair. but idk maybe its just me.

Can't wait, been looking forward to this for about 8 months, finally leave November 9th!
Don't tell one of the guys in my flight the haircut was nothing lol. They made his head bleed good! Good times.
DA CA no your not stupid liberal
+Leslie Cortes Heh....You're*
Now who's feeling the heat?
+DA CA "Weapons are mean" yes, because that weapon has feelings. Think before you speak.

The barber's name is Lester West. He had been cutting hair there since the late 60's. Sadly he has passed away.
@@russellbogrett605sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine how many thousands of airmen’s hair those guys cut over the years.

these kids look awesome and much better with no hair
The Mexican kid looks really good with his head shaved bald his bald head looks really smooth
I totally agree the Mexican kid looks really good with a shaved head

I think I'd go to the air base just to get the haircut. It looks cool :D
I looks handsome!
Part of the breaking you down to build you up process
The old man with the glasses was there back in 93!!! WOW
The easiest part of bmt. The only minute and a half you get to sit.
I'm White as fuck(blond and blue eyes). I always wondered how would I look if I was a skinhead. I'll find out in a month!
Good luck! :)
No. They will cut your hair even if your bald. The reason is they charge you money for the cut. They take it straight from your paycheck so regardless how your hair is, your getting a haircut.
Ferguson Police I realized you what you were doing and chuckled nice name by the way :)
JesterGary what do you mean you realized what i was doing?
trying to rile people up with your name

Im going to look fucking handsome on january 7th
I'll see you there bro
I would have asked for a line up just to fuck with em lol.
They would have you on your face so fucking quick.
Why all of them are so serious? That's fun.
What's the purpose of them making them bald ?
Hair cant touch your uniform and ears.
@@UnforgottenVictims thanks!
lonelysunshine Then why do girls not shave
@@UnforgottenVictims not to mention it keeps the enemy from hair pulling in case of H 2 H.
Funniest things one of the barbers could do is leave your hair alone like at 0:22.
The guy at 1.32's hair is already short!
Doesnt matter they still cut it.
Most of them look way better with no hair
Mexican looks better bald his bald head looks really smooth
I'm going to look so ugly after January 14 lol
SnowHD why
@jayseo I asked my parents. They wouldnt let me. they said it was too expensive :/. as long as they remove it properly i could care less!! and when do they do it? do I have to schedule an appointment with them later or is it in zero week?
ohhh the good old days
heck no
Bitch no
Lord or whatever out of worldly source thats responsible for the universe....please protect my lining
amen
YES I REMEMBER 30 years ago!!!!! Being a new RAINBOW and getting that first haircut!!!!!!!! :O :O :O
MP SLICK I was there during the Great Snowstorm of 1985.
This is where the Air Farce earn their first medal.

I just replied a few minutes ago
Ik man I hope it's comes out equal to..fuck😂😂I don't want my shit leaning
Xx_The Man_xX
They will more than likely let you wear your hair the way you had it at 1st
I want Melissa to get me in her chair. She knows how to handle the clippers!
This is not depressing , this is funny to sum of us but to others it's like " fuck " why I sign up !
I did that before I went to basic training and they "cut my hair" anyways...
I was probably your barber. We are told that all recruits take a turn in the chair no matter what.
Thats why I shave my head bald everyday
they will still cut your hair regardless. and it hurts. they are not gentle at all.
omg what about the brothers with nappy hair... that gotta hurt
Does anyone know how many haircuts we get during bmt? Shipping out Jan. 23rd 🤟🏽
bro it took me a year to get my waves.
trayvon king
tell me about it. I was in Fort Sill for my basic training back in 97 & in 98,I along with the other guys starting growing their waves back & we were wearing bald fades. The drill sergants had a damn problem talking having waves in our hair was destruction of government property WTF?!!
Craig Smith II Because in the contract you are a literally government property as it is stated
très bien on devrait faire ça à tout le monde en France !
clotilde Éleve En France, n’est-ce pas le cas des nouveaux arrivants dans l’armée?
eletrik razor ,arm ,cartucho ,alarm
January 14 and I'll be there!!!
For me, THIS was the absolute worst part of basic training.
How was it??
they all look so sad and serious :(
Some of those people cut my hair. They cut it three times at basic. Week 0. Week 3 and week 7. Do not cut your hair before. They will make you cut it anyways
i will defentily be having my mothers work just make me bald the day before i leave haha
will they shave around a mole or just cut it off??
What if you don't want a buzz cut?
+¡mpact Designs Do you honestly think that anyone there gives the slightest fuck of how you want your hair cut? Did you not notice how every single person got it cut?

+Security Forces sure equals. cough cough females dont have to get shaven
Then you don't want to be in the military. They don't make exceptions in Basic Training lol. Once your out of basic you can grow it out a little on top but still has to have a tapered appearance and not touch your ears or collar.
What happened to the bowl cuts?
end of basic is when I got a high and tight (Army)
Oh, I miss those days of being called Baldylocks, or testicle head! To be 19 again.
Dude you can scalp yourself and the old barbers will still say they need to shave you :)
My brother flight was that last flight at the end there! 321 Predators!
they'll shave you anyways, even if ur bald
do women have to get a haircut too?
Nunya Dambidnis no. They just have to have it pulled up in a bun.
id hate to be bald
This part is going to suck for me, i have eczema on my head and it's red at all times, Shit..
It looks like hell in there, judging by their faces.
I can't believe that you have to pay for your haircut. They supposed to be FREE!
4:24 that guy look like one of the movie of major payne.
2:07 Dave Chappelle?????????????
I heard they will cut it shorter but I don't care my hair has been kept at a 1 for four years.
Is the haircut necessary ?? If so why ??
order, structure, and in combat and training its hard to get mud out of your hair. so just eliminate the hair .
man shit i have dreads. dammit!!
Will this mess up your hair line? Because bald is just idk 😂
fuuuuck i dont wanna be bald i just grew my hair out and my gf not fucking with this peanut on top of my neck
Lmaooo, bro tell me how it went. Im bout to ship out in a month. Just let me know if ya hairline grew back normal
+KidCrombie shit idek yet i ship sept 19 lol i just swore in the other day. When i typed that i was thinking about the military
i feel sorry for these men

Can you buy those vacuum clippers somewhere?
Amazon
if you go to basic with your hair already cut, they will give you shit like saying stuff like oh you already think youre in the military huh?! and they will still "shave" your head
You mean already bald?
Why wouldnt guys just make it easier on themselves and cut their hair before they go....some of them have all this long bushy hair. but idk maybe its just me.
Ryanne Brown indeed
3:25 holy fuck that guy is blue!!!
You've never heard of "blue black?"
