- When I shipped out to BMT it was litterally the longest day! From 4am to 4am. A lot of hurry up and wait! Hopefully this video should give you a vivid description of the shipping process

So if you have a child and want to join then what
Diva lifestyle first of all you will get paid more, you will have to have your child live with someone while you are at basic and techschool. After training you will get a house on base for you and your family!
This is not true!!! The question is are you married? If the answer is yes then you’ll be able enlist & have your husband AND child go. If you are not married, then you will have to LEGALLY give up custody of your child to join.
Also you will not get paid more! I assume sir Dean is an E-1/E-2. You will receive BAH & BAS ( food & housing ) your base pay will stay the same.
Julian Sutton thank you for the clarification 😁
www.airforce.com/frequently-asked-questions/personal/can-i-give-up-custody-of-my-dependents-to-enlist-in-the-air-force
It clearly states that it is illegal to relinquish custody of your child just to enter the AF.
You will need to arrange care, but they will be cover medically, you will get paid, housing (BAH), and BAS.
Look up BAH calculator on Google and use your ZIP code to determine how much it is.
Please talk to a recruiter as they will be able to better assist in coordinating the Power of Attorneys and other legal paperwork required.
TIP: deposit the “food voucher” (really a check) into your bank account through your app. And just buy what you want to eat with you’re card and pocket the difference.
VodoTheGuru your banking app? Sorry I don’t understand
Briana Lynn whatever mobile banking app you use to check your balance or transfer money normally has like a mobile check deposit option that you can just take a picture of it and it will be put into your account.
Bruh I’m so mad no one told me about this, I’m in basic training right now but I’m quarantined cause people in my flight started testing positive for COVID but I go back to my flight today, I still got the check though, can I still deposit it?
thecreatorj how long was it from signing up to being shipped out?
@@lawrencedablah1837 it will depend on multiple factors but it can be anywhere from 2-8 months
Quick advice to anyone about to ship. Do not give up. The first 2-3 weeks are shit but, you will make it through. It’s a great experience and you will make friends.
This day in 1971 was my first day in Air Force boot camp.
If this is a real post than thank you for your service
Air Force doesn't have "boot camp", it's called Basic Training, were you really there?
WootTootZoot it was the 70s
WootTootZoot boot camp is a general term for basic training, stfu
Can you put your eye brows at ease lol jk good video bro
Jerzeys chosen one 😂😂😂
I’m dead
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCUCCKKKKKKK
Nigga said put yo eyebrows at parade rest lmaooooo
I need a 341 per brow, lmao
Shipping out in 1week March 25th! Wish me luck😊✊🏾
BrokeGirlTutorials good luck!! You got it !
BrokeGirlTutorials good luck. Doing this will be a decision you won’t regret. I just graduated from bmt about 2 1/2 weeks ago and now I’m in tech school. Time flies. You’ll definitely be challenged but once you get the hang of how things work, you’ll be good. Hopefully they’ll put you in the best squadron in bmt which is the 320th!
Good luck!!! I ship June 11
Good luck
How is it so far
For anyone watching this video thats about to go to BMT, try not to stress too much. It's not that hard, by the end I was sad to say goodbye to my flight and MTIs.
Security Forces academy is way harder, it's a good kind of challenging
I’m just worried about being bored 😂😂
Leaving for BMT on August 6 with my MOS as MP 🤙🏽
I'm going for security forces!
hi bleh aye I’m going into it to my ship date is Jan 28th
@@Benji-pu9rm I ship January 14th!
I know a young lady going thru BEAST week right know. She is going to kill it! Scored a 94 on her physical training test. GO TAYLOR!!
My son shipped out today. I am nervous for him 😐He was both nervous and excited.
Yeny Rivera he’ll do great!❗️
SirDean The Great you are such an awesome young man!! Thanks for your service 💙
I wish I could do it again! What an experience!
Good job explaining it! I went through quite a few years ago and it doesn't sound like it has changed at all. It certainly was an adventure.
My biggest Air Force mistake was getting out. So please, if you are still in, _stay in._ If you get out, you will regret it. The Air Force takes very good care of its people. Don't give that up.
Take care and thanks for the video! It brought back some memories.
U cant go back
I’m at the Defense language Institute in the Air Force to learn Chinese. More than likely I’m re-enlisting because the bonus for linguists re-enlisting is something crazy like $150,000.
i’m a senior in high school who graduates in literally 3 months and i’m HEAVILY considering the air force. i NEEDED this video. i get to talk to my recruiter soon.
You should already be in DEP so you can leave for basic after graduation. Go to your recruiter ASAP or you will have to wait another 3-4 months before shipping out for basic.
Any one distracted by how flawless those eyebrows are??
They’re like \ /
Well they let gays in the service now...
Jeff Daugherty and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being gay or part of the LGBTQ community. I would MUCH rather serve with someone who’s openly part of the community than someone who’s openly homophobic.💕
@@Suzieleaa phobic means fear. I dont fear them
Jeff Daugherty “having a strong fear or aversion”. You have an aversion of gay people. So yes, you’re homophobic.
I love how detailed this was 👏🏾👏🏾 you’re awesome!
I enlist sometime this year, just waiting for my medical documents to come! I graduate in 2020, I’m excited
Austin Pigg expect to tag on a few months to that estimate! I spent a year and a half on medical documents. Ridiculous!! Good luck dude
I get out of the Army in 2020! I’m pretty excited too 😊
Then corona hit the virus caused my board to be cancelled so I have to wait
This video is crazy informational, really well structured and not a second off beat. It really helped me to consider my options, and as if that wasn’t enough, the jet at 19:29 pulling a sick rip making that sweet sweet howl made me solidify all the reasons I want to be a pilot.
I’m leaving tomorrow! These videos are a bunch of help. Thanks so much man
Jaime_FANG congratulations man, glad I could help!
Update 2 years later?
My friend and I are gonna be in the air force when we're older. I'm so excited!
Thank you so much for sharing! You did a great job of explaining and I loved listening to you. I'm so nervous for BMT!
This is the most elaborate first night at bmt video I’ve seen. Thank you! I had no Idea about some things you mentioned like the voucher or the room you wait in.
love the jets in the background
I shipped out from Japan so my MEPS experience was totally different from everybody else's lol
Thank you for your service to our country
You're such a brilliant and sweet young man with such big heart. Obviously you've been mentored into being such classic caliber. All the best in your endeavors...this is definitely informative
I’m at the airport right now leaving for Air Force BMT. Thanks for the info. I feel a little more comfortable prepared!
Advice: Retake ASVAB if need be to get the Job you really want! Pick list up to 10 but needs of the Air Force comes first!
Get in shape don't wait for Basic (Big DUH)
Week 0 is shock week, week 1 get your shit together, week two tighten up, week 3 you got this, week 4 Oh shit combat training, week 5 Lets have some fun!, week 6 down hill, week 7 Lets finish this shit already!
1st day is very long - when you get to Lackland you will be tired but time for shock and awe - first night 4-6 hours rest only and up 0 dark thirty hours and up and at them.
We have a saying in the Air Force - Hurry up and wait!
2 reasons they rush you when you get to Base is a lot of processing to do and get you squared away by the TI's and the Shock factor to let you know your there and time to get with it!
Mep's - Rest Rest Rest! Your going to need it!
You should start your own channel! Judging from all your comments you seem to have a lot of information you want to share! 👍
One day when you gain some rank all these new, amazing experiences you’re talking about will be so remedial.
Shelton Poteat they’re new to people who have never been in😂
The only thing I have been stressing about is not knowing step by step what I'm going to be doing. Thank you so much for being so detailed. This is exactly what I wanted.
Awesome video! I ship out the end of July. Definitely helps to prepare by watching the video.
Lydia yo I ship out July 30
My first day at Lackland was on my 18th birthday. This was back in 1983. I did luck out though. We arrived at 1 am, got to bed around 2:30 and our TI let us sleep ‘til 10. No lie. That was the last break we got, lol. MSgt Prado and Tech Sgt Bassinger. I’ll never forget them, and I don’t miss them a bit! Worst thing about basic for me was the bats. I hate bats, lol.
Thank you for your service, son. Best of luck!
I enjoyed watching this! Made me laugh and nice to hear they’re still doing some of the tactics like being nice on that bus! Make the most out of your time, travel and good luck!
Hearing reveille now is a cruel and unusual punishment. 10 years later and I instantly think of TIs waking people up.
How the heck do you guys remember 0 night? I don’t remember hardly anything that happened that night. I left March 27th of 2018. Listen the concept of bmt is really not hard. Listen ladies! Keep to yourself.
Hannah Galvin can you please elaborate?
I remember from day 0 because I was excited. It's the weeks up to 4th week I don't remember.... lol
they do feed you at bmt lololol that made me laugh. 😂
I remember that gleam in my eye also back Sept 4 2007, man did it burn out fast. Hope who ever sees this stays positive!!
Just got called for BMT, leaving April 30th.
Congratulations and best of luck. I'm shipping out March 5th. Looking forward to serving with you.
Way to go! Good luck and have fun!
Switch to the army
I'll see you all as well
@@dalastmag1929 lol why? Every branch needs people. No?
My meps wasn't super busy but the staff was lazy and took years
Jared where you from?
Kyle ShoeBoi funniest shit! Lol 😂
Get used to "government work"
Bruh now you got me worried for a whole new reason, this guy saying itll be packed, youre saying theyre slow asf.
Idk what to expect my appointment lol
*you seem like a great person, thanks for the upload, really informative!! that $25 meal voucher. Chick Fil A im dead* 😂😂 I wonder if the service people were worried you were eating your last meal and were gonna go do something reckless or somethin??
Veni Vidi Amavi 😂😂
THANK YOU so much for this! Awesome and thorough video 🙏🏾
I was in Disneyland too (Wolfpack) and we had to do that drop your bags and pick it stuff
I ship out May 28th I can’t wait!
Sophiaann Flint me too! Same date! Good luck
ITS ME, MIKAH D omg me too. Are you ready for this?
Sophiaann Flint where are you going from?
aniya smith absolutely, Imma remember ur name! We got this!
Good luck today everyone
I started basic April 3, 2019. Im a Warthog, FLT B425(band flight), from the 321 TRS, and I was blessed enough to have our speaker broken, so we never woke up to revelle.
This so accurate literally everything I remember!! Nicely done
Bro I loved listening to this video, you took me back to the day I entered BMT
Shipping out in a little less than a week. March 5th.
I will do all things through Christ how was it?
When you made this vlog how long were you in the Air Force ? Where did you film it ad what is your AFSC ? I'm an Air Force Veteran . I arrived at Lackland for basic training as we called it back in the day on 18 August 1971 . The whole time I was in the old wooden WWII style barracks w/o any air-conditioning . We just had fans in the barracks . It was pretty hot let me tell ya Airman .
@@thomasryan2679 WOW ! Ice on the windows . Did you go in to law enforcement after you got out?
Jan 12 th ‘83 BMT 3273 FLT 035…..Lackland 1st night,got there at midnight,to bed by 1am..then REVEILLE at 5am😮….brings back memories!!!
Yeah i pulled night bagging detail in med hold. Super fun to watch new trainees come in XD
This was a great video I like how you got straight to the point! Your so handsome and kinda remind me of the actor Roshon Feagan 🤗
I thought you were about to say latrine instead of bathroom lol
Kiah43 I definitely was going to😅
SirDean The Great Lol knew it!
Kiah43 follow me on Instagram! @sirdean._.thegreat
Girl latrine is bathroom in Haitian Creole 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jazz Black Valcin Really? Lol That’s what they tell us to call it during training
Everyone I’ve ever heard explaining the food voucher has never been able to finish the entire thing 😂
We had older Trainees talk to us, too. Whole Flights, a week or so ahead of us, would go marching by in formation, chanting very sympathetically: "Rainbow, Rainbow, don't be sad. The second week is twice as bad. SOUND OFF. One two. SOUND OFF. Three four. Bring it on down now. One two three four one two, THREE FOUR!!"
And very uplifting, spirit-raising messages too. Like: "Rainbow, Rainbow, don't be blue. My T I is ugly too. SOUND OFF. One two..."
And, looking out for our best interests, they'd caution us about the worst that was yet to come to them, so far: The VD inoculation. A square needle in the left nut. {The WHAT!?!} LOL
Don't do what we did! We came in for the MEPS hotel bedcheck (9pm). We snuck out at 10pm and went to a local bar for a few last drinks. We crawled back in at 3am drunk as skunks. Making the 4:30am mandatory breakfast was a bitch. The rest of that flight and first day experience was PAINFUL!
Dude your such a savage lmao 😂😂
Just came across your channel! Subscribed. Even though I’m planning on becoming an officer these videos are a ton of fun to watch!!
ShootToMiss thanks bro, stay tuned I’m planning on becoming an officer!
SirDean The Great awesome bro. I’ll be with you every step of the way 🤙🏻
Thanks for this, makes me feel a bit better my brother just had his first day at Lackland.
Call your dog🤣🤣
When we got off the bus they made us do facing movements and we had to keep taking a knee and it was annoying. I was in shorts and really fucked up my knee🤣
Shipping out in 1 week lets get it
My Son just got to Lackland at 4 pm today! Signed up for 6 year’s. Rank E3. MOS is Security Force’s. Thanks for the information 👍🇺🇸 God Bless You.
"You're kinda gonna have a bad time"
me: **Immediately thinks of Sans saying "Do you wanna have a bad time?"**
how was your airport experience? i'm on the east coast in SC, a whole timezone from Texas. i've never flown before, i've never been in an airport. it's the part i'm most nervous for, lmao.
Same, did you go to Fort Jackson? Lol, the civilian desk workers were the absolute worst.
I left from Virginia (Richmond men’s). It was my first time flying but it was so great. You’ll be totally fine.
I'm proud of you!
I ship Tuesday April 2nd. Wish me luck bro.
Good luck bro.
Goodluck, I enlist as soon as my medical document come in!
Austin Pigg how long is the process
Briyanna Ezell it’s been 2 months and apparently they lost my request for them! So now I have to send another request form in person! Ridiculous
How was the asvab?
Watching this as I wait for my ship date confirmation from my recruiter
I know it's still a long road ahead but, looking back, I'm closer than I've ever been
I plan on talking to a recruiter as soon as baseball season is over
I ship out January 7th. Not looking forward to going back to MEPs again. I went to the MEPs at Fort Jackson in Columbia SC and those were the most dysfunctional and rude people I've ever encountered. The ladies at the desk were disrespectful and rude for no reason, same with the ladies in medical.
I ship out November 12th, so excited but scared
itsksAnna I leave November 19 good luck
It’s November 8th 🥺
Exact same date too!
Leaving August 27!!😊🇺🇸 thx 4 all your vids, very helpful!!
How did it go?
@@idontcare-sf1vb Hey !! It was a breeze by. I’d do it again if I have to. Aha 🤣
Not much has changed since 79. I was a156th got as 3703 in what y'all know as the old dorms. Mine was torn down last year. It would be 323rd now. When I came in no one was with me. I got left on the quad for hours no food or water. Someone forgot to tell my squadron I was there. Lol alarm.
That looks like dorm 362....
maintenance?
MrWilliams yessir
MrWilliams what’s your aircraft?
Jay W. RC135s
this video was super informative and helpful for mental preparation for basic. i have a question about graduation, though. Do you graduate after BEAST week or before like the old airman's week? And when you graduate are you done for good now or still have to go back to that final week?
cam after beast and once you graduate you leave 2-3 days after
Great video 🙏🏼 airforce has been a dream for a while now
Haha that first morning we had like 5 MTI's wake us up running around yelling at us to GET UP, banging on the lockers, HURRAY UP WE DONT HAVE ALL FREAKING DAY, WAKE THE PISS UP...man we were all like man what the heck, it was crazy from the night before it was so boring and quiet, but I guess they just get a kick out of freaking out the trainees that first morning by surprising us lolI don't remember much more of zero week but all I know was it was crazy
I was flight 035, second to none! We must have graduated around the same time, I graduated Dec. 7.
Jeremy M when did you leave for basic Oct.8?
if i were to make that my alarm now.. my brain would get use to it and eventually ill sleep throught it. like my brain is like “ nope! not this! ears we’re turning off. good luck waking up ashleigh :)”
What the heck.. you gotta get a whole other physical when you ship out.? Eye and hearing test to.. that sucks. And what is your family supposed to do this entire time if they want to attend the swear in?
Carlos Santini unfortunately your family has to wait until you’re ready to swear in.
@@SirDeanTheGreat damn. That's sucky. Thanks man. I've checked out a few of your vids and I hit that subscribe!! Keep'em coming.. you're the new age Wild Bule Yonder!! 🤣
Anybody know who this 👍 Someone is who keeps liking my comments. Kinda creepy
They get to wait.
It was a good thing for me that my mom was there cause they had an issue finding my birth county so I had to get my mom to show the meps people the area I was born (fort benning in GA in 85 they think the county line was changed).
Thanks for your volunteer service to America. 🇺🇸
I don't mind the revelloe. I hear it . Time to start the day. 5 and a half years in the army. I should have stayed in. I would have been retired by now .
@Chairman of the Board wow throwing a fit over one misspelled word. I got better things to do and worry about instead of words like you
@Chairman of the Board why are you so mad over one word? Why are you so sensitive? Like I said I just misspelled one word and you got so angry over nothing really.
@Chairman of the Board I've never been a good speller. I despise assholes who think that just because someone misspelled a dam word they've never been in the military.and I despise assholes who think like you do.
Anyone shipping on the 2nd of April?
April 2nd Me!
Me as well April 2nd
Me!
✋🏼✋🏼
haha me!
Great video! I’m hoping to go into the Air Force within the next 8 months after High School graduation. I’m a little excited but if course real nervous
Tomcat Gaming that’s exactly what I did! Good luck with your journey. I have a few more video that talk about packing list, PT, etc. check them out !
SirDean The Great will do! For me, even though it’s probably changed since then, I feel it helps me with the fact my dad went to the Air Force so I can have at least some idea of what to expect
No need to be nervous, Be fit before you go. Be serious and think of it like this. It is BASIC not Advanced. Meet the minimum but strive for the top.
key things to know-
1. Memorize reporting statement
2.when it comes to shower kit - two of everything - one for inspection the other to use!
3. Never ever take your security drawer key from your neck ever! Never leave that drawer
unattended - this will get you washed back!
4.Remember to have fun doing all of this - only comes once so remember it - goes really fast.
Bruh the only way you can fail any military basic training is if your literally a fucking moron or you simply quit. Other than that it’s near impossible to fail.
BMT has changed so much since 2.5 years ago my gosh 😂
How ? Go into detail
i ship out may 26th as a dental assistant for the air force. nervous but ready
Congrats !! I want to go into the airforce as an orthodontist 😘 how is it going ??
Did it go well?
Question, Do you have to become a dental assistant before you ship out or ? I’m sorry I don’t know much about how it works
@@Uniqueenaee it’s going good i’m in japan
@@krabbypatty6704 i think you can go in open general but i went in as a dental assistant
If you're going into the guards then you DO NOT swear in at MEPS.
Boiii the opening was the funniest shit 🤣🤣
Tell me why when you said you can have your last meal I was like well I’m getting chick fil a FORSURE and then you said you got chick fil a. Great minds think alike 😂. I swear in this month for meps and hope to leave in August. Thank you for this !!! 😊
😂 good luck
Updates???
Can’t wait for more videos
You could probably just take one step back so you don't have to hunch over
😅I know huh
My son just left for bmt he got 2 $25 checks and 2 $12 checks to use at the airport
Thanks for all the helpful information!
Shipping November 26 🇺🇸
How was it?
PSA to everyone shipping, raise yo hand for stairwell crew. Your welcome.
2 years later and I ship out tomorrow! nervous but HYPE
Thank you for your service man, you inspire me
Everything is so much more different than how it was for the other people that I have watched... lol
Ayeeee fam hit the nail on the head 😂😂
I’m too fat to get into the military. I’ve been trying to lose weight forever but I have no idea what I’m doing. Maybe someday I’ll get in good enough shape to join the Air Force
I had to drop about 50lbs to make weight. If you're dedicated, you can do it man. Cut carbs, quit drinking, join a gym and grind my dude.
Bruhhh this shit is so spot on😂 first night is TRASH! MEPS- TRASH. MTI’s constantly yelling...trash!!!!😂 aye but the box nasties are good af tbh. Just don’t eat the mayo in them lol
They did give us 7 hrs of sleep tho lmao i think it depends on your MTI. I was in Disney as well!
How was your experience
This guy is still liking comments after a year...what a legend....xD
I'm watching this at tech school AT SHEPPARD. Crazy
The Polynesian sauce!!!! YASSSS!!!!
