i bought the binder online, should be linked in my description. i put all my resource documents in there, pretty much everything you brought to your recruiter transcripts, banking info, addresses, certificates, passports, SSN Card, birth certificates etc. Bring it with you because they will ask for those documents at BMT and when you graduate, you go straight to your tech school, so theres no time to get stuff shipped

and yea, its fine theyll get dirty haha

Thank you! it still feels like a work in progress

manifesting Japan for you!

someone from your flight will be a "Laundry Monitor" they will handle laundry through the week. Their roles and responsibilities will be laid out. Laundry is done through the day or on weekends during free time

Thanks for the idea, ill add that to the list!

Thank you! work in progress but so fat happy with the layout haha

ssssstutututututuuu

anytime man!

no, when you arrive on the 2nd night, you get a phone call home, after that they lock it up, on the 3rd week of training you get another phone call home and on the 5th week before graduation, other than that your phone is turned in and locked up for the remainder of your training

​@@ClawGamingCG okay understood, but are you like using your own smartphone or you are going to use an actual telephone in the facility to call home? One more question, can also bring a vlogging/action camera? Im kinda want to creat a channel also on what is life in bmt

its your personal phone you will be using to call home. because of covid they dont use facility telephones. I didnt bring my Osmo Pocket 3, when i graduated and went to tech school i had my parents ship me my camera gear.

Good luck bro. Ship tomorrow 8/27

goodluck man, you got this

Thanks for watching, i hope it helps! awesome grad day, i graduated on the leap year but they made it march 1st on my cert

check the pinned comment for my updated video after BMT, you dont need half of the stuff - shaver or razors - compression shorts/underwear for PT - 1-2 pairs of change of clothes youll get issued everything else. they have you bring that extra stuff for after BMT so youre not stuck buying new clothes in tech school but youll be issued alot of stuff during basic

made an updated video after graduating tech school, see pinned comment

sheppard is like college, nothing like basic. after class its all your own time, weekends are your time unless you volunteered for stuff. you go to class after class its all your time. it is self paced and relaxed to do whatever you want. BMT just breaks you down to rebuild you. If you and your flight can get a rythm going those months will go by quick

Awesome, feel free to message me on instagram if you have any specific questions.

ty ty

yes you point or share with the barber if you have any skin conditions

1) for this dorm all private, your room, your bathroom 2) 2nd week of tech school i got my assignment 3) i bought a car already, car video comin 4) yes orientation classes and meeting with locals on base to teach basic japanese phrases and some conversations 5) i use the GL.inet portable router and use the Allied Telesis service they offer in the dorm 6) havent tried but im sure youll need a VPN to do so 7) yes during your inprocessing youll get schedule for orientations and guided bus tour of the base

Depending on your base and assignment your dorm could be shared or youll have a room and bathroom to yourself. i was assigned to the updated dorms and its like a really nice hotel. some dorm buildings or bases might not have updated dorms etc.

tracking, congrats!

yes you can, for us the restriction was a 32 inch TV, dont buy a new TV there are alot of people selling them in your dorm because they are either leaving or graduating, ask in the discord or the techschool for sale page.

awesome, congrats on qualifying, what afsc did you get selected for?

@@ClawGamingCG bless thank you and thank you for the video! Aircraft E&E

I’m leaving in the 20th as well

@@Mark-bl6pq aye that’s what’s up, where you leaving from

GL man, you got this

yes i was able to use my binder, it is kept in your personal drawer with a lock on it. you will have to use it to get documents

hell yea man! congrats!! welcome to the family! how was it?

@@ClawGamingCG BMT was surprisingly easy. The first week I was a bit overwhelmed was second guessing my choice of joining as they didn't treat us like humans just kept yelling nonsense at us but I completed it with no 341's pulled and no washback/recycle so overall my experience was fine. I am at sheppard right now. Tactical Aircraft Maintenance on F-16's is my AFSC enjoying life out here at Sheppard gonna start classes next week

damn, thats what i like to hear man. Glad you were able to overcome the first week fears and keep pushing. It was all just scare tactics with them yelling but once youre past that barrier its smooth sailing. You should be getting your assignments soon feel free to dm me privately to let me know where youre headed.

heck yea, good job qualifying! Good luck, you got this

Shipping on the 13th too

welcome! happy it helps!

Just keep and empty mind, just do as youre told, dont feel like you have an advantage because the expectations from when your dad was in is alot different now. So dont make yourself a target thinking you know what to do ahead of time. Just listen, take it all in, you got this. Congrats on qualifying!! GL

ooft, what tech school was that? i honestly got lucky because some of the other dorms werent as remodeled as mine

@@ClawGamingCG I'm at sheppard

nice, what squadron? and whats your AFSC?

@@ClawGamingCG 361st and I'm 2a611c

Correct at sheppard we had a discord channrl for AIT's to buy/sell or drop stuff off to donate to the airmans attic. During Tech school thats why its just wise to just save money and only buy what you really need since you maybe moving overseas or a states away.

yes, they test for everything, viruses, platellet count, any blood diseases or drugs etc.

@@ClawGamingCG okay bet. Thank you

ive been enjoying it, theres definitely alot of oppurtunities for volunteer and self improvememt/development. My whole family is Airforce so ive had a nice set of guidelines to follow through with. Have you taken the ASVAB to see what jobs you qualify for? I have my associates degree in computer info systems with alot of certs. Definitely helped me in Tech school.

@@ClawGamingCG Thats good to hear. Im Definitely considering joining. and not yet, im gonna study for the asvab soon. I already have my bachelors in information systems.

Nice, i would say enlist then build up your portfolio while enlisted then you can comission to become an officer. if you decide to be an officer right away the current wait list is 8-12 months or longer to be selected. With going the enlisted route, youll already have the fundementals of the airforce then once you comission you already have the idea of ehats expected etc

Thanks for the support, the time sure did fly, not sure where it all went but ive been enjoying every moment of it! Thank you for following my journey!

Congrats!! Proud of you! wheres your tech school going to be?

@@ClawGamingCG Sheppard

document everything and share your experience, i loved sheppard, enjoy whatever the base has to offer and hydrate lol its hot as i was leaving

Yes you can bring your electric shaver, my training squadron instructors had no issues with me using it

At Sheppard the dorms have free wifi available or you can pay for the faster speeds, i just bought my own personal router and paid for the faster internet option, was able to play games and upload content no issues.

1D7XXC Cable and Antennae Defense Systems

heck yea, youll do great things man, goodluck to ya

Thank you!!

You can get your citizenship through the airforce if you join, after you pass BMT youll be given citizenship if you pass the requirements. Just study on your asvab so you can score high to land a Cyber/Intel AFSC. I have my associates degree and i enlisted but will finish my college with the airforce to get my bachelors and comission one day!🫡

You won't be able to do any college until you complete other training for your AFSC. Your gaining duty section will let you know more details once you arrive to your duty station

​@timbridges1975 you mean my first year of joining or first 6 months..

yea i flew american airlines and they did free check luggage, i already have TSA and Global entry from my American Express Benefits. Im taking Delta to my portcall in Seattle. But my flight to Japan doesnt have those lugagge benefits cause its the Airforce Rotator AMC, if i flew commercial i wouldve had better lugagge benefits

How many compression shorts did you buy?

i bought 5

@@ClawGamingCGquestion for you hopefully you can answer because I’m getting conflicting answers. I graduate BMT sept 20th (hopefully) how many days should my family stay to watch all the events. I keep reading they can just stay the 18/19 which is a Wednesday Thursday. Any info helps.

they can arrive early and stay at a local hotel or airbnb near the base so they can arrive a few days before your graduating to get used to the area but they wont be able to get on base until the days of your graduation which is a 2-day graduation which is the wednesday and thursday. Wednesday is your airmans run and coin ceremony Thursday is your graduation parade and ceremonies after each event youll be able dismissed to stay and go off base with your family until curfew

Same day, perhaps we’ll meet lol

Its dependent on the squadron youre assigned to, for our squadron we werent allowed to wear show inserts, they would have to send you to medical to get a waiver to wear boot inserts.

whats up, whats up!!

You will be issued running shoes but itll take sometime to break them in. I brought some running shoes that were already broken in because some people got shin splints and foot issues from the issued shoes.

the shaving waiver is only for religious or if you get bad cuts or ingrown hairs from razor shaving or if you have a skin condition from your shaving. The use of an electric razor does not need a waiver, me and alot of people in my flight brought electric shavers to save time in the morning before forming up.

@@ClawGamingCG Good to know! Thanks for the heads up!

youll learn all the academics part in BMT, no real testing, just your end of course test when you graduate BMt but it is everything you are taught while in BMT

You are not issued tights. You are issued white briefs/tighty whities, you are issued PT shorts/shirts/pants. Bring your own compression shorts/underwear to wear with your PT gear

ita currently no longer in this setup, they are now set up on open racks in open air in a filtered room.
