I have been out of the Air Force for more than 20 years. I tell everyone that you should go over seas I was stationed at Misawa AB in Japan. It was freaking awesome!
A few words of advice: One, don’t buy a brand new car you will not need one I have seen so many suckers buy one and then complain about not having money. Two, if you get injured or hurt go to the hospital to be seen and get transcripts and keep them in a folder. This is very very very very important because when you leave the service you can list injuries and to get your disability rating. Now you may think I am just milking the system I am not. I had a cyst the size of a lemon that was removed from my wrist and the VA doctors further injured my wrist trying to remove it.
Other than that have fun, be sure to salute all officers. Don’t get too drunk because doing PT the next day will suck!
I was in Misawa a couple years ago, I'm sure it's changes a lot. Miss it already
Your story and the fact you were 26 gives me some added confidence about enlisting because I'm 25 going on 26. lol
Omg same, I'm 26 and thinking about enlisting and this makes me feel so much better that i won't be the only one!
I think the Air Force will take you until you are 39! Army is 35, but you gotta ship before your 35th Birthday. Marines I think is 29. Don’t have any regrets. I have plenty!!!
@@bfry38 Marines is 28. But you were close.
Must have changed it. Everything always changes lol
I’m 24 about to be 25 and I thought I was to old lol and I already have my college degree and career but I still want to join anyways but the reserves
I miss the Air Force. It was just like having a regular civilian desk job. Quality of life was great.
Stone Cold what was ur career?
That's why they call it the chair force...
@@TheTread123 not really. was in the army too and spent plenty of time on a chair, as well as anyone else with an ADMIN JOB, LOL. Every branch has CHAIRFORCE jobs.
I’m gonna enlist as a special mission aviator so I guess I won’t have to sit at a desk all day lol
I’ve decided to join the Air Force and I’m so nervous, scared, yet super excited! I barely sleep now anyway so, sleep deprivation wouldn’t be an issue for me! 😂😂
Diamond White same!!
Don't be nervous. They can't kill you and the Air Force is the best quality of life branch in the Military.
Yeah don’t be nervous at all with the AF, train for marine bootcamp but still do the AF
cisa93 Do you have to worry about heights? Also, I know preparing for the yelling is mental.
I did everything you aren't spose to do when staying at the hotel for meps. Used the gym, swam in the pool, hit the hot tub, and ate 2 meals plus breakfast the next day. And qualified no problem 😂
wait really? I go to MEPS this week!!!!!!! Somebody told me to do all that
LODE same lol and I drank at the bar hooyah navy
I hit the gym too lol I didn’t know that was a rule. The pool and the hot tub can make you fail the ear check apparently
U was on vacation 😭
Wow I didn't realize ppl had difficulties with certain recruiters. I'm thankful mine has made everything easy and straightforward for me. Never even considered looking at different offices because of how smooth the process has been.
i’m on my 4th recruiter haha
@@lexieclutter890 haha really why?
Javier Lopez my first one would never answer my calls & i ended up moving (my husband is in the military & we got a duty station), then my 2nd one after i took my asvab wouldn’t answer my calls & when i’d show up to the office he wouldn’t be there. so then i talked to some other people & found out he was fired so i got set up with a new recruiter but as soon as i did she went on a month long cruise so they set me up with a new recruiter. but i love the recruiter i have now. he’s really good at his job & now i have a job & a ship date & ive only been working with him for about 2/3 months. so i would just say i was unlucky at first haha
Hey, Brittany these videos have been a tremendous help. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this video! It had been so hard trying to find a female video on the Air Force and their enlistment process! Your information was beyond helpful!
Thank you for making this video. I’m 24 and meeting with a recruiter next week. Most of the videos I’ve seen are from really immature people and they’re all over the place & doing too much. Thanks for being straight forward.
I got out of the AF 30 years ago I still remember everything. I keep in touch with a few guys still. I was at Kadena AB with the 961 AWACS best great memories! Enlist and always remember attention to detail have fun and aim high!
This was a great video I’m 27 and about to join. It’s always refreshing knowing I’m not the only one that took a different route, and able to come back to it.
Going to MEPS this week! Great and insightful video. Wish I swear in successfully!
I liked your story about the hearing test. I went through it too. I remember that sensation of hearing the tone but not knowing if it was real or if I was hallucinating! I went through MEPS in 1984.
Planing on joing the Airforce. Thanks for the video.
Going Monday to talk to my local recruiter!! (With my documents) and hopefully going to Meps the same week since it’s spring break!
Im sorry im so so so late but i found this channel and it really helps. Im currently 13 and i want to join the air force and i was first scared and now im excited. Im training and getting ready for tge harsh training. I am willing to join at the age 17-18 and i really want to thank you very much so for the encouragement these videos give. I cant wait to accomplish my goal in the air force, i know there is a possability i could die but im willing to die knowing i tried and attempted to surve and protect the US. Thank you again!
I just heard back from my recruiter that I have my ASVAB + MEPS next week. Super nervous and excited. I really hope I qualify and do what I’ve been wanting to do for a while now.
I ship out on December 17th right before Christmas for the Air Force. It's good to see someone else in their mid 20s jumping into the fold (26 here). I hope our paths cross sometime!
Thats gotta be the best AF hoodie I've seen! but congrats and good luck!
haha thank you!!
Brittany Willis where did you get it ? i need it lol
That hoodie is amazing. #superjealous
Hey guys look im in the air force!!! -Is what i get from that jacket
@@dbgvideos6133 so people are proud of being in the military leave them be
You’ll do well in the Air Force! I turned 27 in basic training, and knew pretty much about the Air Force. My father joined the Air Force before he met my mother, and retired after I left the house. After that, I did my 20+ years myself. I know you’ll do great, as long as you remember that it’s all a mind game. They’ll give you 120% of what you should be able to do in the specified time...and see how you’ll handle it. Don’t fret! Best of luck!
MSgt Kevin M Costelloe, MSgt, USAF, Retired
Congratulations Britney!.. I’m so proud of you.. I watch all your videos I just saw you yesterday. I am a father of a USAF family.. I am retired and all 4 of my children are in the Air Force
Great video! I am literally doing the same! Always had a desire to join the Air Force after high school and now that I am 27 l’m finally going through the entry process! Maybe we will be in basic and the same time.
Thank you so much for your service ma'am
this reminds me of the day i went for all this, pretty much the same story..for some reason i was just nervous so when they took my blood pressure it was really high so the lady told me close my eyes take deep breaths and think of something relaxing and it made me pass it. crazy how this is exactly how i remember when i went but i went for marines, another thing i was told is depending what you eat or drink that morning it can affect your blood pressure results but i did not listen so may of been partly that but not 100% sure
Wow nice to know I’m not the only 20-something that’s enlisting. I just turned 23 and was scared but you made me feel better 😭
I go to meps tomorrow!! you have super nice cheekbones btw
Sounds similar to when I enlisted. I already had my college degree and went through BMT at 27. I was the second oldest person in my FLT.
I'm a former TI and I'm retired now. Sorry you had problems with the recruiters. My nephew will be going to BMT soon. Keep your positive attitude and you'll be fine. Good luck and God bless.
My MEPS and DEP program was so fun! Wish I can re live the whole time before I shipped off to NAVY! It was so fun! Only thing is I had to go to meps about 3-4 times! But I was in Ohio, so we stayed at nice hotel in Cleveland! Fun family came and stayed in same hotel with me but bought there own room! Made a mini vacation out of it! But it was fun! And my recruiter was the BEST.
The USAF was the best thing that ever happened to me!
I freaking love my recruiter, he’s only 30 minutes away but I also have only seen him twice and will see him the third when I go to meps in a week
I’ll be heading to MEPS next week! I’m glad I got to watch a video that actually up to date.
I made a part 2 with more info if u want to watch that too! Good luck!!
Brittany Willis Just did 😂 thanks for putting these videos out though! They’re extremely helpful
I have an amazing recruiter now and I know how it is to have ones that are not motivated or serious about getting you in the air force or any other military branch
I'm the same as you with a no medical history hopefully I can go to meps and get my ship date quickly!!!!
I'm glad you put this video out it has helped with my decision to enlist in the air force.
I thank you for your videos I am a mom of an senior that wants to go into the airforce !! Your videos have me a pice if mind this thank you so much 😊
I know I’m late but I test for meps next week on Wednesday and I’m nervous but excited!!! I heard the actual Asvab is better and a little easier than the practice test but I hope I pass and I’m studying everyday
I just swore in two days ago with the army, my recruiter worked with me very well, my enlistment took 4 days absolutely quick, I’m Excited for the future! Hope you are as excited as me!
Can you share your experience?
I’d been watching you and i had no idea! I live in KC!!
The same thing happened to me. He held his hand out and my dumbass was like um my hand?! So I held my hand out and he was like "um Rona" (bc of coronavirus) and I was like ohh my folder. I felt so awk
😂😂😂😂me af
Lmao at the handshake, I'm most likely to do something as embarrassing too and it'll live with me forever.😣😣😥🤣🤣💖
I go into meps tomorrow. A bit nervous not gonna lie. Thanks for some info, it helps
Good luck!!
Im 28- talking to my recruiter Monday!
Same here 28 talking to the recruiter for meps
Can't wait to hear from you in TEN YEARS . I Retied from the AIr Force and Female. Years I wouldn't trade for anything. Best of luck. Life is wonderful with an Air Force Pension.
So did you get a Commission? Better yet.
been watching your videos of ur whole journey with the air force and it helped me get prepared. I will be shipping out next month to Lackland and i will be an Air Traffic Controller. Wish me luck y’all 🤞🏽😅
A Duzzy i’m ATC since 2011 fam. let me know if you have questions
Damone1987 I have some questions for you man 😂 I got a 85 on my asvab and I’m just wondering how was the training and how is it to switch back to civilian life? Like to be a civilian atc
Omg I’m so grateful for this video! I’ll be 26 in April and joining once I reach my weight goal. I’ve been wanting to join since I was 18 also. New subscriber here 🤗
When do you plan to join?
Jessica Frazier still have to lose weight unfortunately so I’m not sure
Her cheekbones are 🔥 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I leave for basic training January 20th, 2019
My meps was cool we was able to leave the hotel and the people at meps was really cool
I’ve sworn into the Airforce and I’m going to sign my contract today. I got a 92 on the asvab and I took the dlab and got a 124. I’m gonna be a cryptologic linguist. I ship out for basic July 16th.
Congrats!!!
That’s the exact job that I want. How was the DLAB
That does sound like an interesting field
The Minuteman how long did you study for that?
This is what I want!! Can you give ASVAB tips?
Same as me. I'm 26. I want to join the AF. AND I go to MEPS Friday. I'm kinda nervous but I'm not medically unhealthy.
I was at KC MEPS too. The dinner at the hotel was great. I was late in the morning. lol. It was odd number for guys and I didn't have any roommate that night. So the lady that was in charge of us came into my room, pound the wall and said "You are late! Get up! NOW! I freaked out so bad I don't remember if I brush teeth or not. Thank God I had time to eat breakfast.
Congratulations.I am in Bulgarian air force from 15 years.
I had the exact situation with the hearing test 😂
Just saw this video, i’m going to MEPS next week! I’m going in as an E3 because of the amount of credits I have from college
How much credits?
And here I am, having had started the process 7 months ago lmao, still haven't sworn in yet
I get to hopefully join DEP this March and then if I qualify 🤞🏻I go bmt Aug 2020
Trinity Sage did you qualify??
I can relate to you, I'm 28 and I thinking about joining AF. Been thinking about it for years.
@Beijing King thanks for the support, I tried contacting several recruiters but all of them told me I'm not elegible until the pandemic rules go down.
@Beijing King this is a text I received from a recruiter "With this pandemic going on, we're working with the most qualified applicants because we can't process many people as is." Another recruiter told me that you would have to have a 70+ on your ASVAB and no criminal records of any kind, because they're not doing any waivers.
You’re back 🤭💃🏾
Hey girl hey!!!
I’ve watched your vids a few times now and they definitely were inspiring. I feel the same way as far as feeling the need to do this for myself. I went and bought the book so time to study 🙌🏼😁
I ship out March! AF!
After long time u come back
Yep! It’s been awhile!
You gave me so much hope when you said you wanted to join at 18 but joined at 26 instead. I’ll be 27 this year and I feel now is a good time as ever to join.
I'm joining this year. I just turned 27. Wish I'd joined earlier, but it is what it is.
*me too I’m 22 and want to join soon wish me luck* 🙏
Bruh can u do voiceovers or something because I can’t stop looking at your beautiful facial features
I agree!!
I agree... I was looking at her face and not surprised why everyone was nice to her😄
In 1969 it took me only one day. With a war going on it was easy to get in. No regrets. Best 4 years .
Thank you!
Hey, I was trying to reach an af recruiter for like 5 months but couldn't. So iwent to the navy office to inquire and they signed me up for active duty, then I panicked lol and may have called usaf head office and finally got an AF recruiter. I'm so excited to be leaving soon. Tnks for the video❤
Also I like ur hoodie. It's really cool
my enlistment process took almost 5 months, and i swear in finally on
tuesday. that’s if everything goes swell during meps. super happy and excited.
Awe .. you uploaded this on my 18th Birthday ♥️ I want to go to the Air Force but I don’t really know what I want to do .
Do some research online or talk with a recruiter :)
I just finished MEPs for the Navy! Leaving December 11th. Hopefully I get to meet some of the cute Air Force girls when I get in.
Haha congrats!
💀💀💀💀💀
youll be soooory
You literally join a month after I left.. hope everything is going well.
Congratulations
I do that hearing test for physicals normally at my doctors so I think I’ll be okay for that one 😂
they were nice to you cause your a sweetie.
Just found your video!!! I’ve been looking for stories explaining the process so thank you!! I’m wanting to enlist, Air Force has always been the dream for me, literally from cadet Corp in elementary to AFJROTC in high school. My only concern is my GED but that’s only motivating me more to do great on the asvab. Thanks for talking about your process
Thanks for watching! Best of luck to you!!
Other good people for Air Force are EloraJean and PopularLoner
I love your hoodie!! Where did you get it?
Hey, I love your videos ! So motivational. I’m in the process now of joining the airforce as well. ! What type of camera do you use?
Sony a5100
Thank you ! Hope I can ran into you one day ! I’ll definitely! Scream your name ! “Willissssssss” Lol
New subbie!! I’m actually super excited to see someone my age enlisting. (I’m 25) I also have a bachelors degree and took the enlisted route! Congrats!!!
Hey! That’s awesome, where are you at in your process?
Brittany Willis pretty much the beginning. I wasn’t as lucky as you so I had to get some extra paperwork from my doctor in regards to an injury from college sports 😩
Good luck and hopefully it all goes smoothly!!
what made you decide to enlist instead of coming in as an officer?
I uploaded a video about this if you wanna watch!@@user-nu3el2mo2w
Currently been enlisted for two years, after coming in with my Bachelors at 25. Joined to travel and get money for my Masters. I'm a 4a..Health Admin.. You will be fine!.. I'm 27 now..blessed to get stationed in South Korea and now Guam. Will turn in an officers packet, but want to complete my Masters first.
AAron are you active duty?
Angel Devine Sadly, dis nigga died in jail.
I guess is not bad to watch other branches videos. USMC 4life
My AF recruiter has been the opposite with me. My very first visit I was pressured into taking the ASVAB in one week. I told them I hadn't even began studying yet (my own fault) and they reassured me that if I didn't like my score that I could retake it. I passed, but as I was expecting, I was not happy with my score. I knew I could do better if I just had more time. My recruiter said, "Well, I can give you one week to retake it." I should also state that he tried scaring me into keeping my score. I'm not happy at all about being rushed, and it's all because of his deadlines. I've considered seeing a different recruiter, we'll see what happens.
I’d talk to another recruiter if your current one isn’t helpful!
Hi Brittany, I have watched all your videos about joining the Air Force, and you are very informative. I am about to meet with my recruiter this coming week, and have a couple of questions for you. I am quite scared about the ASVAB, but I have been studying a lot int he past several weeks. Is the test timed or not? Also how many practice I am allowed to take before the actual test?
I'm literally just like you and I go to MEPS tomorrow! Thank you this!!
Good luck!!
What is your rank now? And what’s your job? I just joined air force and my job avionics!
I think if the military would use her in the advertisement, then there's gonna be so many people to sign up for air force 😻
Looking wonderful, ma'am
Omg I want to join the Air Force but I am currently a little bit overweight ... I am super motivated to enter the Air Force ... so, I will do my workout so I can get ready before doing the whole process until I reach the boot camp. I also have a bachelor's degree ... I want to serve my country and I want to have a good future that allows me to continue gaining knowledge and new experiences, in addition to visiting several countries of the world .. I am also in the high 20s (27, actually) ... I hope everything works for good .. greetings from PUERTO RICO ..
Do you mine me asking which office your recruiter is/was out of? Mine is incredibly unhelpful and I read don't think he has my best interests at heart. We're in similar locations and I'm willing to travel to talk to a good recruiter.
Feb 5th shipout!!
My enlistment process has taken almost 6 months now and I haven't sworn in yet nor am I close to swearing in
She’s 🔥
SO since you have your 4 year college degree, do you think you will go to OTS? It would be good to be an enlisted for a few years etc. then go to OTS. A lot of advantages of being an Officer.
I was LMFAO at the hearing test part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brittany: 8:25 "I thought the food was ok, it was good".
Gordan Ramsey: Am I a joke to you?
I had a leg surgery when I was young, I believe 7. Of course it doesn't bother me and since I was young it healed quick. Will that come up or can I bs it?
Your cheekbones 🥺🥰🥰🥰
Anyone know where to get that jacket? Freakin dope.
Hello, hope all is well and thank you for your channel and feedback, I have a couple of questions about BMT and tech school do you still get vaccinations and how is DFAC these days because of this COVID ? Wondering if they want you heathy and heard of giving you the shots and pills with the live virus might get sick or sicker if you have COVID without knowing.
Thanks
I’m taking my asvab tomorrow at Meps and my physical test on friday. I’m nervous for Meps.😬
Did you pass? Was it hard?
Going to MEPS this Monday!
Good luck!
Brittany Willis I qualified! I'm shipping February 14th for the Navy!
Congrats!!!@@MRMITYSUPRBEANBOY
