Taking Showers at Air Force BMT

- There are NO barriers or curtains in the showers
Tips:
-Use 2 in 1 shower gel instead of bar soap and shampoo. 2x as fast and easier to apply and maintain in your inspection drawer.
-If the shower is full, go to the sink, wet your body and apply some soap. Then you can hop in and out quicker.
-Keep and eye on your towel, or hang it up weirdly so no one takes it accidentally.
-Don't be a shower hog
-Do dust downs BEFORE showering, because the dust sticks to the floor when it's wet
-Don't run, you'll probably fall and get knocked out
-Shave and wash the cream off in the shower
Are there dividers at least
i'm gonna say the biggest concern for MOST people isn't the showers but showering with a bunch of naked people of the same sex. but with only 15 minutes to shower if that and the flustered nature and how fast your mind is racing you're not gonna be worried about penis envy or wondering if other girls will make fun of your labia everybody is trying to get in and out just like you. no fucks on their end.
im trynna see sum pee pee tho
Hi, my names is Alissa. I am 16 in AFJROTC going into my 3rd year of that. I just wanted to say that I liked your channel so much I made a RUclips account so I could subscribe to your channel! So thanks for giving all the tips and information that you do.
I have dry skin, so I try to avoid using soap and shampoo - if I can. Can I shower with only water?
M C your gross
M C have you tried showering with Dove soap for sensitive skin? Bc just using water isn’t getting it 😭
When I went through BMT there was a huge fear about showering in front of a bunch of other dudes. Don't sweat it. You're trying to rush so fast to not get yelled at that you honestly don't really have time to let the fact that you're around a bunch of other naked men bother you. Honestly, after a few times of doing it, it becomes something that's pretty natural. Has nothing to do with sexuality or anything, it's just "oh, we're showering... that's that then". People make it seem like its a huge deal, but we usually ended up running around completely naked most of the time and not giving much of a shit. If anything, keep your face to the wall, keep your eyes closed (be under the water 99.9% of the time) and then get the hell out. Showering can take 30 seconds if you squirt a decent amount of body wash on yourself prior to jumping in.
I usually just squirted a decent amount of body wash on my head at my locker and then walked into the shower. Lather up super fast, and get out. You might not be squeaky clean, but you're going to get dirty and sweaty not long afterwards, so something akin to a good "once over" is plenty. If you're someone who genuinely stinks, take an extra second or two to focus on your pits and/or crotch. Other than that, the run off will get most everything else well enough.
but my pp is small im afraid they'll laugh at me
are there many gays in the military
Hey love your videos. Am going this year but i dont know whats a good job for me. Can you tell me what its better for women. Am 19
dberrios98 Thanks! And I say this a lot to my girl subscribers, but don't underestimate yourself. You'd be surprised how many women work in typically manly jobs. And no, they aren't super "butchy" either. They're just your average girl. Personally, I see the majority of women in medical career fields or security forces. Idk what it is about Security Forces that is so alluring to so many women, but that's where I see the bulk of them. There are almost no women in maintenance, but I think that is the result of women underestimating their potential to turn a wrench better than a man can. Don't worry about any job though. Everyone is treated equally and gets the same training, so it doesn't matter if you have any previous experience or not! Let me know if you have any more questions for me.
+dberrios98 Back when I went in they told us there was no such thing as a man or woman in the AF....we were just Airman in training....and then Airman afterward..no matter rank, gender, age, and what not...
When u get station out of the country do u get paid more ? If so how much ? And is it even really enough to make a difference?
123abdcharles When you're stationed overseas, you get paid COLA, or "Cost of Living Adjustment" pay. Basically they will give you more money based on the country and community you're in. Typically, it isn't THAT much extra money, but over the course of your deployment, you can definitely save it up.
Thanks man ! Your videos really helped ! I leave August 10 ! And i just want to go over seas
Awesome, good luck! :p
So you mentioned about you wondering if the water would be hot or cold but you never gave a solid answer, and i've been wondering this, will the water be cold or warm as soon as you turn it on? Or does it start off cold and gradually turn warm? Thanks!
+4rth The showers are hot/warm. You can adjust it to be as hot as you want in the time you have. We cut the showers on ahead of time so they warm up before we go in there
+WildBlueYonder awesome thanks for taking the time to answer!
This probably sounds like a silly question but after you graduate tech school, how much time before you go to your first duty base? Is it like that weekend like bmt? Or a few days after you graduate?
crazyguy5385 You usually leave as soon as you graduate, sometimes the same day, sometimes the day after. Others will be held at tech school for weeks on end. This is typically because they are still going through a security check (their base requires a security clearance), or they're going through some other paperwork or process. This extra time not spent in class will be used for cleaning, manning the security desk, doing details, etc.
Hey I don’t think you mentioned if they are hot or cold showers. How are they?
Why would u need to shower everyday during beast week I would do it maybe once and thats it
CAN U WAKE UP EARLY TO SHOWER OR ITS ALL AT A CERTAIN TIME
From an army perspective 30 minutes is a lifetime lol. Why did I watch this.
Weird question do people shave there Pubic hair or is there no time for that
***** Yes lol. Especially before graduation weekend
Lmaooooooo 😂😂
+WildBlueYonder dying !!!! I'm getting a wax before boot camp ........ But it grows back in 10 mins😂😂😂
Do you shower before bed or in the morning? If you shower in the morning can you wash your face to take off the sweat before bed?
+poppunkpizza You do both actually, once after PT and then once at night. And yup! You'll have time to wash your face
+WildBlueYonder thank heavens! Lol
lol :p
Question i have acne but its manageable, ik you said showers are short but will you have time to wash your face with a acne cleanser and use lotion or no?
lmao
LOL
Presto Magix 😂
BullyVibes pussy
@@Kryoza shut up boy you listen to russ 💀💀
are there walls seperating showerheads or are you just standing right next to a naked person? also, do you put on and take off your clothes in private or in front of everybody?
+Julie Huynh You're just standing next to a naked person. And you can take off your clothes in the bathroom stall if you want, but... you won't really ever have time to do that. And for the first day you'll de-robe all together in the bays
Could you possibly do a video on deployment into BMT? Like what happens when your date comes and the stuff that follows it. Thanks in advance.
Dylan Swanier Sure. You don't do much before going to BMT. Once you get your ship date, you'll have scheduled meetings with your recruiter before you ship out. If I remember correctly, there is one at 3 months out, 1 month out and 1 week out. Your recruiter will just make sure you're still healthy and good to go, go over some paperwork, and ensure you're preparing for Basic
What is beast week? And do you have to go through that to join the air force??
Edwin Reyes BEAST Week, or Basic Expeditionary Airman Skills Training Week, is a week long course at Air Force Basic Training that incorporates an Airman's knowledge on survival skills, self-aid buddy care, weapons qualification and skills training, and teamwork into one simulated deployed environment. I have a video on my channel that goes into more detail about BEAST, if you'd like to get more info! But basically, it's a simulated deployed environment that you have to pass in order to become a United States Airman
alright cool thanks.
Question, I leave August 4th, what do i need to memorize before i go? I know basic things such as chain of command, rank, marching. But what was essential before you graduated?
Spencer Wren Aweseome, I actually have a video that lists out everything (and more) that you should memorize before shipping out to BMT! Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/-eG2W7iJ0Io/видео.html
How's it going?
Are you familiar with aircraft armament ? What do you think about it? Is it a cool job? I have an offer to take that job and ship on nov 10... Sounds cool just want a opinion :) thanks!!
lc90716 They install bombs and munitions on aircraft. It seems like a cool job to me. Lot's of responsibility, but still exciting.
They only gave us 14 minutes for all 44 Trainees. We only had 6 shower heads
I noticed that you have an xbox, how long was it before you were able to have an Xbox? And do you have time to play it? Really need to know
Jesse Williams I bought it in tech school. You're able to buy any electronics the weekend of your BMT Graduation onwards :)
Thanks, you're a real big help. I watch your vids all day. Not to be too personal but, could you tell me how many hours do you work a week?
Wait when your in dorms you can go take a piss in the middle of the night? Oh thank god
They call the newer dorms he mentioned "Disneyland" at BMT.
Jester And the older ones are called "Alcatraz."
Jester
Do you remember what the address is for Disney land. My son is there now on day 3. Thank you
Awesome and helpful video. I just received a ship date at the end of September. What do you suggest I do as far as getting ready physically for BMT?
Andrew Kittler Run a lot, stop drinking soda. Yup. lol
How's it going?
Goood
do we have to shower right after PT or we shower at night before bed? do you wait outside and try not to look at others showering while you wait for your turn?
If possible, can you make a video talking about GI bill and the air force paying for your existence student loans? thanks
+David Dat Trinh Hey David, you eat after PT and then take showers and then you take a second shower at night before bed. While you're waiting for your turn, you can be in the drying area or wait in the bays. And you can set up money to be taken out of your paycheck to pay off your student loan debt, but I don't think you can use your GI bill to pay for it
so when we wake up for PT, do we have to make out beds and shave before heading out?
You have to shave, but you don't have to make your bed until later (if you find time to make it, you start making it though.)
@WildBlueYonder Could you cheat and just bring a 2 in 1 shampoo + bodywash for showers and use that while just having the seperate bottles out for display?
Jace I was in BMT in 1981 3708squadron.We didnt have body wash in those days ( but i SWEAR it was a former military person who invented it).What guys used to do was shower with shampoo and leave their bar soap untouched in the soap case, because wet soap residue would put you in jeopardy for demerits.So use shampoo for 6 weeks until you get to tech school.
Yes
Hell yeah they got more shower heads in Disney Land. They also have the washing machines and dryers IN THE DORM. Lucky bastards.
How long do the days usually last? From what time to what time?
Where/How do you find "private" time?
Do every one be in the shower together? Or its a private shower
+Mary Garcia Yes most of the time
Hey thanks for your videos ! Quick question, do you get to contact your family Before you graduate so you can give them all the info about graduation weekend ? Like how do they know where to go, when to go, etc. ?
alex flores Hi Alex, yes you'll receive at least one phone call before graduation. You can also send information through letters, and finally your family should receive some sort of pamphlet or brochure in the mail with things to do.
What are the curfew hours during graduation weekend when you can go out with your family for both Friday and Saturday ?
Is there a look but don't touch policy?
wtf
Is the any curtains on showers ?
+Eyby monzon nope
What do you have to get on your asvab for security forces?
you won't have a problem getting security forces if you want it
General score of 33. Which is pretty impossible to fail.
It's like a 44 or something. I've been in SF for 6 months not. It's not that bad.
Do you still recommend it Larry? I got open mechanical but I'm thinking about singing up for quick ship and maybe go in as security forces.
army basic has curtains! and +15min showers!
Can I bring shower wipes?
So I've heard in the summer you shower after PT, but in the winter you shower at night. Is this true? I'm leaving November 24th. Also thank you for your videos, they're very helpful!
When you say tech school is that your major, Computer Science. Right now im looking into the Computer science and computer engineering majors and trying to decipher what the difference is in what you’ll learn and the jobs you can get. Also the bathrooms are really holding me back the thought of everyone looking and comparing
don't be nervous!! you'll be moving so fast it won't even cross your mind. just move with scene of urgency no matter what!
What's the background music?
Boyz He made it himself
If you have a "small problem" simply hold it up wards and clean underneath and hold your shit at all times sooner or later you won't worry realizing everyone is as worried or as freezing as you and aren't worry what your packing with! Goodluck I start soon :)
I have meps soon good helath record got a 66 on my asvab. I want to do sere or whatever any body recommend a good channel
Can I email you questions instead of posting?
+Doug Lang Yup you can send me a message on RUclips by going to my homepage, clicking on the "about" tab, and sending a message, or you can email me at codenamesimmons@gmail.com
Do a video about tattoo policy! :) im joining the airforce this year, i would like to know more about their policy on tats! Thank you!
Christian Dungca Nothing above the collar bone, no sleeves, and nothing on hands/feet. You're welcome to get a tattoo after you're in, but getting one while in the DEP/before you enlist can be cause for termination.
Source: I was just at MEPS.
Thank you for all your videos WBY! They are definitely preparing me for when I go to BMT (which I hope is soon)
are showers private?
+Rachael Baynes Nope, everyone takes showers in a large room together with no barriers
+WildBlueYonder I'm assuming you just get used to it after the first day? Plus how fast I imagine it is I guess you are just doing your thing to hurry up?
Pretty much. You don't have a choice but to get used to it lol
+Rachael Baynes Females are used to having private showers so many of us freaked out when we had to stand in open shower rooms with each other but after a couple of days we were just too tired or busy to care.
wait so all these showers are in the same room without walls? lol
darkdancerman yes
I love your videos! They're very helpful! I'm hoping to join the Air Force after my 3rd semester of college! :) I'll only have 16 college credits but it's better than nothing.
Do you plan to go OTS?
YettiInTheMist Yes :)
When do u know where u go for deployment??
Cool last name
+Cole Gannon
You have to get to your first base before you can deploy anywhere. You need to graduate from tech school before you can go to your first base. You need to graduate from BMT before you can go to tech school. You've got a ways to go lol.
ya im not too fond of the showering with other people - im very self conscious heh... that's the only thing i dread at BMT.. =\
+Elbanjomon that small huh
Ryan Relatores that actually made me laugh XD i didn't think about that but no its because i used to eat a lot of food, lost a lot of weight and resulted in some interesting stretch marks. used some type of lotion for it specifically treating it, and it looks better but still noticeably there.
haha I'm just messin around with you. I'm sure you'll be fine, other people will probably have more to think/ worry about besides staring at you in the shower.
+Elbanjomon Aww darling lol trust me, no one is going to be looking at your stretch marks :) hell they may not even look at you...or themselves
+Elbanjomon Aww darling lol trust me, no one is going to be looking at your stretch marks :) hell they may not even look at you...or themselves
Only 15 shower heads! Lol!!! Haha try 8 with only 4 that work! Lol from the 320TRS! 15-20 showers is some Disneyland luxuries!
Jerrell Manuel So true....... And more seemed to break every night. More discrepancy tags in the dorm than working utilities.
Jerrell Manuel Yeah we had 8 in the old dorms, but I know they're starting to tear those down, so 15 is a more accurate number for the new recruits!
Oh tooooo tru
These videos are super helpful
Did you just say soldiers?
ok, boomer.
Y don't jus shower at night when everyone is sleeping
+Khan Khan Because you can't
would you pack a towel for bmt? will towels be supplied on a nightly bases or are you required to use the same towel for multiple showers?
+joncko Towels will be issued to you on the first night, you don't need to bring them :)
When youre at your first duty base or tech school can you get your game console or laptop shipped to you?
lc90716 yes
do you change clothes in the shower? or do you change at your wall locker? like putting on a New pair of underwear
+MrWhitipino You change clothes near your bed in the bays
+WildBlueYonder so you can even change underwear at your locker/bed? just wondering, because I don't want to be the weird guy with his Wang hanging out lol
Oh yeah, you change everything at your bed. The large room where all the beds are located is called a "bay". So everyone is just out in the open with their, as you say, "wang" hangin out
+WildBlueYonder lol thanks for answering this question. kinda strange, I know, just didn't want to be the weird guy. and haha yeah, I said Wang since its less vulgar lol
So are the showers cold? Or hot?
Can you go to the bathroom whenever you need to?
+Daniel Madera Yes
@@WildBlueYonder what's the way to ask your mti to use the latrine?
Chance Gutierrez sir, trainee (name) reports as ordered may I utilize the latrine
Do you really need BLACK flip flops or any color?
+KillerOmen black
Airforce is lucky for their 15 shower heads. In the navy you have 80 to 84 people to cycle through 10 shower heads.
haha i was a Marine at MCRD we had about the same amount but we got nowhere near 15 minutes more like 15 seconds, we had to get in a single file line and walk quickly through the showers it wasn't even a shower you barely got wet and no soap
+Tom Jones Wow
do you have a email address so that I can email you a personal question?
Bruh
Is it all co-ed or is it separate?
So hot or cold showers?
Lmao.. Good question. I fucking hope it's cold. I suffer from random boner syndrome.. If ever that is a thing.
Im just really wondering about transgender people? Any answers?
Trapzy 118 what about transgender? It’s male or female with the procedure. They’re not going to put you in a female flight if you have male genitalia
I have some cavities, will they DQ me at meps?
I'm concerned about catching the big gey. Discuss
It’s basically like college but stricter
Never had beast week or a training rifle when I went to Bmt.
Of course I went before most of you were even born.
+WildBlueYonder I know you probably don't know but is it the same way for females? What if they are on their period do they just bleed everywhere? If so that's gross!
+Courtney Chambers Uhhhhhhhhhh lol I guess
+WildBlueYonder OMG that's embarrassing I wouldn't be worried about showering with other females but I would be worried to see or have blood near me. Nobody wants to see a bloody tampon in the showers...ewwwww!!!!
+Courtney Chambers Nobody will give a shit.
i'd assume we can't slip on basketball shorts to shower... -_-
Trust! NO one is looking at you. Ladies you will not like the community showers that some facilities have, but deal with it! You just want to get clean! You are going into the MILITARY! Act like it! Once you get to your duty station you will have all the time you need for GLAM! Air Force girls are the cutest! #BeenThereDoneThat. Very informative as usual! Good job.
Co ed showers?
tigerhappy you wish
i see they finally let gay guys join the Air Force.
