I can look back at basic and realize it wasn’t so bad and after 4th week it really flew. I always told people “I wouldn’t say it gets easier, you just get better at knowing what to do.”

    Like watching your videos sister they are awesome and I love hearing about how life is for you in the US Air Force, it’s not 100% different from Army life but it’s interesting for sure. Glad you graduated BMT now go kick ass at Tech School. I have no doubt you’ll do amazing there to. By the way I can see your not only a strong determined person but also intelligent so I hope you use that talent and be a TI one day. I think you’d do amazing at that.

    I went to basic training in 2012 and we did 8 1/2 weeks, but you're stories seem a lot more relaxed and easier then when I went. We did PT at 4:45 right after we woke up, got screamed at and PT'd all day long for stupid stuff. After PT we did our shower and shaved. They drilled us all the time, especially at the beginning of Basic. We had only had a call after the 2st 2 week and then we got 10 minutes on the phone once a week. We were in the old dorms too which we're old..., the new dorms were being built. Nice to hear the differences over time.

    I ship out April 2nd and I’m really nervous with the rifle part, I’m so glad you mentioned it here. I can do 25 push-ups, a pull up, 25 sit-ups (i need to work more on this one) and 16-17 min 1.5 mile run which i also need to work on more. I really hate having short legs bcs I’m only 4’11 so running faster is really much more work for me. I’ve been in DEP for 2 years and I’ve finally gotten my shipping date so I’m trying to get the best out of it and work hard. Do you get much time to improve more? So it is 8.5 weeks till graduation then there will be no more airman’s week after?

      Auribel B many recruiters have told me that running is more about consistency than speed. It’s great if you can run 1 and half miles in 10 minutes but it’s important to be able to remain at a constant pace for 30 minutes. Running is a mental challenge as much as physical, remember to control your breathing (try breathing with your stomach 3-2 ratio) and to remind yourself when you’re getting tired that the pain is temporary and will be worth it in the long run

      MirAguirre Yes. Similar to the Army’s uniform. They’ll begin issuing them during October of this year at basic training.
