*UPDATED packing video AFTER BMT! Thank you guys so much for watching!! Feel free to DM me on IG with any questions @brittanylynnlewis
*BMT Packing Lists now on my Amazon page, as requested by y’all!
www.amazon.com/shop/brittanywillis
Question did it matter about your underwear being granny panties? I only wear seamless thongs its the only thing I feel comfortable in unfortunately. Hopefully the type of underwear I pack doesn't matter?? Also I noticed you didn't pack pjs... a few videos I watched people didn't pack their pjs.
@@malibuluv209 Type of underwear didn't matter when I was there! Everyone had different kinds/colors. I packed a pair of joggers to sleep in! We got our uniforms the next day. I know it's different now with ROM!
@@Brittanylynnlewis did anything you took to bootcamp get sent back? Like what were you able to keep from everything you took?
I was able to keep everything!
@@Brittanylynnlewis awesome!! Thank you!(:
Good Luck! i graduated back in August then graduated Tech School in the beginning of November! So I am here at my first duty station! Couple of tips..
1. Spandex are for PT, it's your choice to wear them or not. Still bring them because they will be apart of your wall locker checks but I've honestly only worn them once throughout BMT and they were the short volleyball ones.
2. Zero night, you will get issued a backpack full of everything you need. Notebook, pens, sharpies, high lighters, etc.The next morning that whole day you will be in-processing. You will be issued all your uniforms, shirts, socks, running shoes, etc. I suggest wearing the running shoes that they provide so you don't ruin your own. You should be going to the BX that same day or at least the day after. That is when you can get anything and everything you need for your own personal needs.
3. In the mornings, let's say after PT, you only have 10-15 minutes to get ready (depending on your MTI). BUT that means showering, changing, and doing your hair. (don't forget with 45+ other females as well, LOL)
4. Makeup: Yes, you can put on makeup for your flight photos and your blues photos. however, you cannot wear it for the coin ceremony or for parade. BUT the rest of that weekend you get to spend with your family you ARE allowed to wear makeup as you please. (There is makeup at the BX as well ;) )
MY ADVICE TO YOU: DO NOT GIVE UP!! You joined the military, Air Force, for a reason. Don't let whatever happens at basic stop you from that. Just find something that really motivates you! I've had 4 girls in my flight not make it for weird reasons... Also, Get close with your brother flight if you can, they're funny as hell. BEAST week was super fun, Gas chamber was my FAVORITE! I honestly would do it again. (Not even being sarcastic Lol)
If you have ANY questions at all, please feel free to message me!! I wish you the best of luck. When do you leave for Basic?
THANKS THIS HELPS ! I'll be leaving in March
Just as a question.. what do we sleep in? Clothing wise
The first night, you will sleep in civilian clothes because that next day you will go to clothing issue. Every day after that until you graduate, you will sleep in your PT gear because you have PT every morning anyways. (Except Sundays)
do our sports bras have to be black or white? i was looking at a variety pack that has black, white, gray, dark blue and dark green...also thanks for the great advice!
Girls in my flight had THONGS!! smh... No they do not have to just be black and white. I wouldn't bring hot pink though. Dark blue, black, white, gray, nude, etc. are great colors. and for the underwear, Stick with the full-coverage though. You don't want to get in trouble.
Now that you're done with BMT, can you go back through this packing list and talk about what you're glad you brought, what you didn't need, and what you wish you brought?
Hi Brittany! It’s officially 1 week since you left to meps to start your Air Force journey, I know you won’t see this until February but I want to wish you the best of luck! My boyfriend graduated from AF BMT on November 11 and is at tech school right now which is also in Texas, watching your video reminds me of that Sunday night that I was helping him pack his bag, it reminds me of how nervous and emotional that night was. I know your first few weeks will be hard but I promise you it gets better! And for anyone watching and reading this comment, your family will get a few phone calls. I got a phone call when he landed in San Antonio, one about 24 hours later, one on week 4, week 6, and week 7. As long as the whole flight is on good behavior. And make sure you urge your family and friends to write to you as much as possible, at least one letter a day. I want to wish everyone good luck!!! I’m not in the Air Force but my boyfriend is and I know how hard yet rewarding this is! 💗
I’m also 26 & thinking about going the enlisted route. So glad I found your channel! Good luck with everything!
GET IT GIRL! You got this! I can’t wait for your awesome “update”/“I survived” video when you come back!
I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning. really excited for you, good luck! ☺️ can’t wait to start my process.
Wow. I’m so excited for you. The ending got me though. I’ve watched all of your videos, and to know the next one will be after you’re a graduated airman makes so extremely proud of how far you’ve already come. I hope you have a good experience, and I can’t wait to watch the next video. God bless!! 💛
I just graduated BMT, and am currently in tech school! First of all, good luck! You’ll do amazing! For the shoes, wear the shoes they issue you for all of bmt and for beast!!! Your shoes will get messed up throughout bmt so wear the ones they give you, so comes the airmans run you will have nice shoes to wear! All the toiletries they issue you, use as display and actually use the ones you brought so you don’t have to worry about cleaning them or moving them from your security drawer. I would highly suggest marking all your clothes, like everything. It would be the first initial of your last name and the last four of your social. Mark everything you’re already bringing so you’ll never loose your clothes and so you won’t get it confused with anyone’s!
Thank you!! About to mark everything now!
Yup, really recommended marking EVERYTHING. People will take anything that is unmarked.
If you keep the ones they issue you display in your security drawer, where do you store the ones you’re using at? Won’t they check your stuff and everything has to be in order, so where would i put the things I actually use and be able to access them easily if the display ones are in the drawer
BrigitteBlasem at least in the old dorms, you’ll get one drawer, the front part will be the “mandatory items” which will be the ones you display. And the back side of the drawer will be your personal items. They typically don’t care what it looks like as long as everything is neat.
Zena Ross thanks I’m leaving at the beginning of April I bought some stuff I just need to get a few more items and I was just tryna be sure.. are you allowed to bring full size shampoo conditioner and body wash? How will it fit in your drawer if you do? Can you lay it down?
best wishes! be ready to hear "IT GETS BETTER' almost everyday your entire 0-4th weeks in training before BEAST. also, don't let all the stress within your flight get to you. keep a tough mentality and you'll do great :)
I wish you the best lovely!!! 💕 stay motivated, stay strong!! 💪🏽❤️
*girl love your videos!! and your skin and eye brows are flawless honestly! thanks for uploading this, really helpful* :)
I’m so excited to see you come back!
Im super excited to see your videos after you get back from bmt. Best of luck!
Hey!!! I’ve honestly loved your journey!! And wish you the best of luck in bmt I know you’ll be great! Just a quick tip bring LOTS of chapstick, you lose it someone else might take it you never know and it’s Texas so you’re going to need the extra protection !! I’m currently enlisting going through the process with my recruiter have yet to take the asvab & your videos are literally a godsend
Just a heads up, in case anyone else finds themselves needing brown bobby pins and can't find them- there's a pack of at least 100 at the dollar store! They have black ones too! So you could get 200 bobby pins for $2- it should last you with some extras for BMT. Also, with the updated policy, your hair bands and pins can be black no matter your hair color, though it is *preferred* to be close to your hair color. Good luck everyone!!
I graduated about a month ago and personally spandex are a must to avoid chafing while in your uniform
Kaluless congrats on graduating! I ship out June 4th and I’m sooo nervous.
For the graduation ceremony were you wearing pants or did they issue females skirts? I’ve heard skirts and I’ve also heard pants? So I was just wondering
I’d say its more of a must for guys though.
Good luck! I’m shipping out April 9th! Super excited !
Good luck and thanks for the videos, I saw your MEPS video just before I went and it helped me prepare. I should be going to OTS next year, I still don't have a class date. I'm excited for you
Brittany, good luck in your Air Force career, l did 25 years and retired, l saw a lot of places in the world that l would have never seen had l not made it a career, good luck and thank you for your service.
Thank you so so much for this video. It’s helped a lot
Thanks for the vids. I ship January 9. You’re gonna do great!
Good luck. I can’t wait to hear to about your experience
I got the same watch already! Compression shorts are comfy to work out in! My sister went to BMT last year and she didn't use them. I leave a week after you!
Have fun in military
I found my brown bobby pins at ulta. :) Thanks for the video and best of luck!
Wow thank u so much for this video helped me out so much I’m a mother of two beautiful little girls I’m pretty nervous but so ready I know this is a small sacrifice for a greater cause your packing list helped me out so much.
Can you do a bun hair tutorial?
God bless you, you just made packing as a lady so much easier to figure out.
I’ve always wanted to join the Air Force . I can remember in kindergarten drawing fighter jets because I wanted to be a fighter pilot. I had a son right after graduation and to join you have to give up rights to your child or be married. I wasn’t willing to give up rights and I was no longer with my child’s mother. I wish there was another way. This was ten years ago maybe things have changed. Brittany I just wanted yo let you know you have one of the most beautiful smiles I’ve ever seen .. there’s just something about your eyes and your smile😊 I hope everything is still going well for you here in 2020!
Finally uploaded....sorry for slow connection. Few more DAYS!!! Yay
I went thru basic in 1984, so my info is outdated LOL, 1984-2007, 23 years was a long haul, wish you luck/ but i remember all the stuff we brought with us they took and issued us what we needed.
DAMN good luck!!! Maybe I'll see you at bmt!! I'm supposed to be going to meps soon maybe this upcoming week too! :)
I went through and the compression shorts are more comfortable to wear with the pt shorts if you’re uncomfortable with someone potentially seeing you’re underwear when you do sit-ups or something like that. Not required but it’s more of a personal preference
Sallys beauty store usually has all the hair colors like bobby pins.
Ur packing video is so good
I packed my bag of basic training from ur video
Thnaks a lot
I ship out June 4th! Thank you for this video, we packed almost the same things!
Bryanna Wilson SAME. Maybe we would be in the same flight or whatever it is called. That would be cool even though we are strangers.
so how did it go?
Wow! Your ship date came so fast. Congratulations once again! Best of luck
My best wishes for you from Puerto Rico !
They have brown Bobbie pins at Sally’s beauty supplies and on amazon
Best of luck at BMT and welcome to the Air Force! Just one point on the duffle-- I bought a plain black one that I now use as my gym bag. Bags with large logos aren't in regs.
Holly Sanchez-Perry so you can’t have any type of logos on the duffel bag you bring to BMT with your personal stuff like clothes bathroom stuff etc? I thought they got locked away anyways?
Right I was planning on bringing a Nike duffel they won’t accept that ?
The journal's a nice touch.
Good luck! Hope you do well!
Your 8 weeks are almost up! Please do a video on BMT. I just took the practice ASVAB and feel really confident! I hope to go in as a Loadmaster. Thanks for the videos! Followed you on Insta! Also subscribed!
I’m leaving the same day as you, I’m from Delaware. I hope this process is a smooth as possible. My friend is in tech school in Wichita, TX right now.
Good luck!!!!
good luck you got this i go in early feb.
Good luck ❤️
Dont take compression shorts wont need them also one more thing in your locker to be evaluated on when you have wall locker inspections.
"When hair is in a bun, the bun must be a
single bun; no wider than the width of the head and all loose ends must be tucked in and
secured."
@Chico No she doesn't as she said 3 and a half inches which is impossible for ladies with long thick hair! Alex is giving helpful information!
The spandex aren’t required but you can bring them and wear them I just graduated in January and I wore them almost every day
Hi =) 1:02 cool watch! I've got this black/brass Gshock, which is about as close to a "military watch" as I'll get, haha. You have my respect, ma'am. Sometimes I wish I could join but 😔 I already know I wouldn't make it. And I'm sure they wouldn't take somebody with "extreme" Anxiety. 😞 It is what it is... ay but good luck with everything. ✌ I know you'll do great! 😊
Can you do an update of what you actually needed
It doesn’t really matter. They take all your personal property and give it back at the end of basic training. They will issue everything you need to get through basic
@@panicprone11 They don't issue it, you go to the shop to get it lol
A lot of people in the comment section are asking what they should bring. It's been a few years, but I remember being given a list by my recruiter. Ask for a list BEFORE and bring ONLY what is on that list -- nothing less and nothing more. That will remove the confusion. You can always pick up a few extra things at the BX later. I did Basic Training in 1985! It was difficult but I got through it. I thought the physical part would be the most challenging... but it turned out to be the psychological part! Learn to stay calm and listen to instructions carefully!
Good luck! I leave January 2nd!
Hey nice vid! I Ship January 29th! Let's gooooo
and YES, wet wipes are life!!!
Good luck at BMT!
I’ll be doing Intel but for the Navy and I leave for my basic in January. Good luck on your journey!!!
Navy is the best! HOOYAH! The RTC back in August
GOOD LUCK !!!!! I’ll see you at Goodfellow :)
good luck!! i ship out december 18th which is next week (came so soon) i’ll see you there :)
spritzle26 good luck 👍🏽
Malik Robinson thank you!
spritzle26 me too!
Tori M i’ll see you there!
Bmt was an experience, I graduated oct 19th of this year. I'm in tech school now, cant wait to go home for exodus on dec 22!..good luck!
Woah shes gorgeous
You literally go to the store the first day you go there, and at the store, they have ALL of this stuff you just listed...tax free and they give you the list of all the stuff you need.
Alex Recupero is you watch her updated video. She said her group didn’t go to the store until the second week.
Im a guy who grad bmt august 2017, but black compression shorts were allowed without any large logos or color. not sure how military issues female underwear but issued male underwear was so bad pretty much everyone had 3-4 compression shorts to replace wearin underwear. especially since you are going during winter, those compression shorts are a godsend
I recommend the wet wipes for day to day use but you cannot have them at beast because to many people try to get away without showering. I recommend looking up the backpack initiative and if it's on the list in that bag then don't bring it unless you're picky about brands, bring the compression shorts because the PT shorts you're issued suck without them. You do laundry at beast still as well. I was in the first flight to graduate from the new 8.5 week program so I know the new weeks fairly well, let me know if you have any questions!
Tiffany Schuermann Hi! What did they add that's new that made it a week longer?
Leslie R Hi! They didn’t add anything new, they just moved around stuff and took out airmen’s week, Airmen’s week is incorporated into your daily routine now, so you graduate 8th week and go straight to tech school.
Don't they give you compression short or u can't buy them there? What do i need to bring what do they give me? Help?
Ice Scream Hi there! You can buy compression shorts there, and as for what is issued to you there’s an app called “Air Force delayed entry program” and it has a list of every item in the backpack they give to you. I personally recommend bringing at least 2-3 pairs of pants and shirts, a hairbrush, a spare toothbrush, running shoes (they issue some but they might get ruined at beast), hairties that match your hair and bobby pins, hair gel, extra stamps and envelopes, a lint roller, bring makeup if you wear it because it’s allowed for pictures and graduation, 6 sports bras (you need 6 for beast) at least 6 underwear as well, a couple pairs of socks to wear until first issue as well. Don’t stress about it to much though, and the app also has a good list of items to bring, but you will have more stuff to bring with to tech school after graduation so save a little space in your civilian luggage, good luck! 😁
@@GeekSqueak2323 they won't give me a lint rolller? Or I can't buy on at the bx?
It’s probably to late but you can try a beauty supply store for brown pins.
What about an unpacking video, how did your stuff hold up 😂 ❤️
Good luck. Just do as you are told, and you will graduate. Aim high from a retired SMSgt.
Thank you SMSgt for telling the simple truth. I joined in 1993 and they took everything right when I got there.
thank youuuu:)
I have been thinking of just getting an exfoliating soap/body wash bcuz several grls told me they had to toss their loofah, hand towel and/or scrub glove due to it getting gross inthe bag... idk what kind of soap to bring?!
@Brittany Willis did the grey sharpie work well on your black cloths? Did you mark on the inside or outside of your clothes ??
cant wait to here from you when you get back ! good luck :)
If you have any questions about BMT I went through the new 8.5 week system so I can answer most questions :)
Kaluless dm me on Instagram please! im_ariannaa
can you just dm me like an overview of what you experienced?? i ship out january 29! my instagram is @ash.kiner
Kaluless can I have micro blades or tinted eyebrows during bmt ?
Leaving February 19th! Thank you for this video!❤️
hannah murray I’m leaving that date too!
Girllll!! You should join the group chat!! Follow “Air Force BMT shippers” on Facebook and you can find the link to our ship date group chat on there!
hannah murray I’ll go now thanks girl!
Kelsey Nevels yeah!!! Find me and message me if you wanna talk or have questions or anything!
hannah murray thank you! Waiting to get accepted to join in the group :)
Just got out basic last month and about to leave tech school. It's weird to say but i miss it
0:01 Its been confirmed air force does have the baddest women.
Can you make a video on how you do your bun
Can’t wait going to the air national guard
For those whose been to BMT, do you recommend a duffle bad or backpack?
Oh and compression shorts are required cause when you do pt they doing wanna have to look at your nether regions and stuff like that. I'm a guy so they were really uncomfortable so yeah lol 😂 if you have any questions let me know. I'm so excited for you
Shoooot aren’t the PT shorts lined lol
They are but they are like swimming trunks though
Brittany Willis they are but the lining shrinks and a lot of girls cut it out
what happens if you aren't allowed to have original documents for certain things? Will, they not accept it if it is just a homemade copy?
Hi Thanks for posting this video. I have seen tons of packing videos for bmt and only a couple from female trainees. All of them are fairly similar, but no one ever updates on what items you ended using after all. I see you doubled up on some items and over-packed some just to be safe. Can you do a video update for us on what you actually ended up using from all the items you took? Were you forced toss any of them away? Were you allowed to keep and use your bun 'donut'? Were you allowed access to your makeup for pictures or graduation ceremony? What about your spandex shorts, did you end up using all three or just one? In short, what was the outcome for all the things you packed?
Sorry for bombarding you with all these questions, but female input for bmt prep is scarce. Please advise, thanks!
I’ve been asked these questions so much lately! I’ll definitely do an updated video on it! Thank you for watching and thanks for the questions!!
I'm joining the Navy but I figure they're kinda similar in terms of what you can have or bring and I wondering if anyone knows if you can have or get chap stick? It's literally a necessity for me I have a skin condition and I always need some on 😂
You're way ahead of the curve for someone your age (21 ish?). If you decide to stay in, I think you'll go far.
I’m 28! But thank you :)
@@Brittanylynnlewis Lol Sorry! Good luck to you!
I like your video
Good luck! If you have any questions feel free to ask I graduated BMT in June of this year.
Bree Sophie how was your bmt experience
Is folding padded sports bras gonna be a problem.
Hey do you think for the summer schedule in BMT I should bring more sports bras and underwear since we take two showers a day?
If you get intel you will have Tech school at Goodfellow AFB TX, where I retired from.
Good video
From these items what didn't you use or weren't allowed to use?
Did you bring any facial moisturizers set/sunscreen?
Okay question!!! My eyebrows are like bad and I have to do them a lot. Are tweezers and like eyebrow scissors allowed? Just so I can do a quick like do of them for pictures?
jilliane l yeah tweezers r ok
Hey I’m doing intel and I wanted to know if you could tell me some of the bases that have intel so I can start thinking of my dream sheet too? Can’t find info
Other than the Cetaphil wipes what did you use to wash your face in BMT
I went through two years ago, bmt is awesome! Goodluck 💗💪🏽 Compression shorts are not required btw, but I wore them under my PT shorts instead of underwear.
(Currently in the process of enlisting) do you know which websites to use to find bases where your job in the air force may be stationed?
Random question :) I leave August 4, just curious if they give you any type of wash cloths??? Wasn’t sure if I needed to bring some, thanks!
We didn’t, but we did get issued a loofa
Question Brittany ... they issue a loofah not a washcloth. Where do you store it to dry? Only the towel, laundry bag and backpack can go on the bedrail?
You can keep it in an open plastic bag in your security drawer but a lot of girls threw them away and got washcloths
could you show a link for the type of watch to get
I'm still waiting on my high school diploma equivalent so I can go to meps😭😭
