I was 17 when I joined the AF in 1965. I had no whiskers yet and had never shaved.
My second day in boot, my TI grabbed some "peach fuzz" just under my ear and yanked it out. I didn't even know I had "peach fuzz", but I learned that shaving it was much less painful than having it pulled out by my 6'5", 240lb. TI.
Smoking was common back then and I smoked. When asked if we were permitted to smoke during our "hurry up and wait" periods, our TI said that we could light up whenever we saw him do it. The SOB didn't smoke, so neither did we.
Haha, that is to funny.
lmao i agree, had a good laugh too
I learned quickly that it was better to stand around the smoke bucket at ease than standing at parade rest with the non-smokers!
😂
Thank you for your service good sor
Do not volunteer for anything!
(MTI holding up a set of keys) "Who can drive?"
A few knuckleheads raise their hand...
"Open up that closet and drive the push mop around the dorm!"
That is too funny
Bro yes 😂
I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!!! IM TOTALLY DOING THIS TO MY SONS!!!
I joined 4 years ago and the biggest advice I can give is to the straight out of highschool guys, you need to keep in mind its only 2 months, you can do anything for 2 months. DONT look at everything as a punishment, enjoy the PT because its only making you better. Look at it this way, youre getting paid to stuff your face 3 times a day and workout multiple times a day. REALIZE your MTI's were in your shoes before too and they aren't there to fail you, its all an act they are trained to do to make you listen and make you better, they want you to graduate. Realize nothing is personal, and that air force BMT is actually very very easy. The PT isn't hard, anything they ask you to do isnt hard. You eat three times a day and get 5-8 1/2 hours of sleep every night. If you cant do it then you just suck lol
man dont even
this is the exact way i thought every time i got a job i hated like stuff that involved cleaning toilets
tbh i just called the person who was supposed to pay me a sucker cause 8$ to clean a bathroom
basically doing houshold chores but i actually get paid lmao
im going to enlist soon hopefull and im going to start my journey into getting into shape
@@valkyrie4407getting in shape, at least starting a basic workout routine would make the transistion to air force bmt easier as your body is used to a routine of fitness;
that's how i am doing it, a slow walk, a stretching regimen, a mile run, strengthing workout (could be on legs through squats, abs through crunches, or upper body through planks; i switch it up per day so as to ensure muscle confusion).
@@micosstar yeah as of rn i gott re awaken my muscles
my family is known for its freakish strength
when i was 14 my max bench was 255 and my squat was 400
i remember my coach yelling at the other dudes to spot me 2 in front 2 on the side 2 behind me and the coach
he even made me wear the dumb belt
no feeling like the adrenaline of about to black out and be the strongest there is in a gym
also used to do about 100 situps and push ups and a 1 mile run within 10 mins when i was in foot ball
JROTC ramped that up even higher
Don't accidentally call your female MTI Sir, that's reallllyyyy bad haha
I did that, week 3... She was pissed....
What if it’s a they/them 😂 ik this vid is pre woke era but I’m just curious
Just after I entered the delayed enlistment program in March 84, all I heard from my father was this-"YOU BETTER EXERCISE!!" So I did all manner of exercises which included sit-ups, push-ups, running several miles a day, lifting weights & everything else. So by the time I entered basic training in late Sept 84 I was in remarkable shape. I had no problems with doing PT in basic cause I had worked out 6 months previously. I would tell someone who's serious about joining the military to start getting in shape now even before you visit a recruiter.
amen 👌
Wonderful example!
Currently getting ready to go see a recruiter for Air Force in January started 6,4 323 in September it’s November 18th I am now 247lbs need to lose 32lbs more in a month and a half wish me luck
How did you start as a beginner?
@@blankcheck31209 How you making out now?
Don't write letters on EC duty, which I had every other night on the worst shift 12-2. Dorm chief told on me and got me recycled. Luckily they brought me back 5 days in. Now my dorm chief and I are at the same station doing the same job and we laugh about it all the time. But seriously, what a dick move.
Pay attention to everything TI says....memorize everything they teach you...like making dust cover bed...Do not Volunteer, stay blended in.
That’s pretty hard for POC
my recruiter is an ass, he never told me anything or even gave me a packing list. if i needed to find something out i had to come back to your videos
Regarding pockets, NEVER put your hands in your pockets unless placing or retrieving objects from them. My brother has made it very clear that you will get yelled at if you put your hands in your pockets.
I wasn't speaking from first hand experience. This was something my brothers taught me from their time in the Marines. I would love to enlist, but I am working on eliminating medical factors which would keep me from doing so.
Thank you, Mark. I hope that I will be able to enlist and would do anything required and asked of me to do so.
good video! couple things that should also help in BMT.
1. When you roll your socks put one end in the wall locker door. it allows you to get them really hard.
2. even if you the fresh out of highschool guy like me with no hair on your face still shave. Shave against the grain because the peach fuss wont get cut if you dont. I know by experience.
3. Laundry sucks if youre in old dorms, it is nice in the new dorms. choose laundry crew wisely
4. try to be dayroom crew!
5. break in both pairs of boots! This is one of the most important. in your first week you will wear boots half and shoes half of the day. every day switch which boots you wear so they both break in. guys try to keep a pair nice and perfect but they never broke them in. then when they got wet or muddy they got blisters from having to march several miles in brand new boots.
6. be scared to go to sick call. dont be scared to go to the dispensery
7. dont be naive!
As an EC make sure you check the ID of an individual before letting them through the door. They will intimidate you, but take your time. This is huge security issues with the TI's.
this is pretty accurate, i graduated bmt like a month ago
Really helpful, I leave for BMT in 3 months. Nervous but ready.
Good luck. !
+Arianna Peralta Its only as hard as you make it,,, Former USAF and also Military BRAT
how did it go
Good luck😂
I know this video was 8 years ago but are you still in the airfore
I found this very interesting. I was in BMT in 1984, at that time a "sir sandwich" was mandatory, even to airmen outside of BMT.
Also, EC was called "Dorm Guard".
Telling them to salute anyone "with shiny things on their collar" was hilarious. We were told to look for shoulder boards, which got me caught on a Chief Master Sgt. I don't know if they still wear them.
DO's and Dont's
DO: Respect EVERY branch of the military because they all work together in protecting out country.
DON'T: Talk crap about any branches of the military because it's just childish and disrespectful. Specially if you are serving too because you are representing your branch.
Anyone leaving for BMT on July 15??
Abegail Guzman how'd you do
You mean grunts and jarheads and seamen?
Or were you just referring to the chairforce?
Oh trust me...
We're gonna talk crap about you
-The Marines.
Branches of the military talk smack about each other all the time.
This is hands down T H E most informative bmt video on the internet. It was actually short in time, considering all the broad areas you covered. You clearly carry yourself well and set the tone for others interested while remaining in a very professional manner. I appreciate you mentioning the small details like when an mti told you to stop doing "that." I will mention to other recruits DO NOT to tell your mti "sorry." The only critique I have is that you say "uhh" a lot. You are very well spoken and I reiterate that you are a solid public speaker however; that's something I always notice, filler words. I appreciate when older educated minds would remind me not to ummm. Otherwise, you're video is perfect!!! I highly recommend to others recruits watching.
I do have one question/request: Could you briefly cover the volunteer topic? I"m big into volunteering; in general, I know it can make a significant dent in a career. What are some ways I can make some connections via volunteering in the AF, to strengthen myself not only in my field but my overall AF resume? If you are too busy I understand!! haha I know you juggle quite a lifestyle.
Thanks Kyle!
I agree, Kyle you're awesome dude! My son is joining the USAF in the coming months. We've learned so much from you man, thanks alot!
This gave me an idea of what both my sons went through. Thank you. Appreciated the respectful language used on your clip. Good job and God bless you!
U.S. Navy veteran here, Airman Lamb VFA-15 NAS Oceana, just watching your vids for entertainment, it's actually quite interesting the differences between the branches. It seems RTC (Recruit Training Command) was a completely different world from your MTI, but that's the nature of it right, well brother, keep up the good fight.
Screwed up the acronym, Air Force Basic is BMT
SellAqua red
Thanks for all of the videos, Kyle. I ship out tomorrow, and watching all of your videos over the past few months have really helped. Looking forward to this new chapter in my life.
Super, super helpful! I appreciate your directness, simplicity and and detail! Will be watching again and taking notes and can't wait to ship out!
Great video, you answered a lot of questions I had about BMT. I didn't think it was lengthy/boring.
Bro thank you for the quick dos and don’ts and I like that u r just trying to help don’t try to entertain just try to help like u r doing brother thank you
Going to BMT this summer. Haven't been too nervous but all uncertainty is being answered, love your videos, thank you.
Thanks Kyle this videos really filled me in on some need to know things. great job at clarifying and explaining everything I'm sure this video will help others out as much as it did for me.
Thank you for this! I Just auditioned for one of the Air Force bands and am super excited! This video was very helpful.
Kyle great video man, this is a huge help as I'm preparing to head to boot camp in Texas! I'm trying to mentally and physically prepare myself as much as I can and your videos are going to be a huge help! Keep'em coming and great job! (Sn: your doing these vids to help people learn and prepare so don't worry about if anyone thinks their "dry", they'll either utilize the info or they won't" thumbs up!
Gracias sir. I'm going into basic soon, and i had no idea there were so many donts. I'm sure i would have been blown away. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for all the videos! It's nice having something so easy to access with a lot of answers to things most people I know can not answer.
Very Helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for having such a straightforward answers for everything I'm only 16 but I'm strongly considering joining the Air Force my grandfather did and I think that it would be a really good opportunity for me. Being a girl and joining the Air Force is kind of scary and things could go wrong but I'm strongly considering anyways. I haven't told anybody that I am considering joining the Air Force because mainly they would probably try to talk me out of it and not have Faith in me and I'm very small person but other people's opinions doesn't really matter to me. As long as I have faith in myself I guess that's all that matters.
It's great that you're thinking about the Air Force instead of other branches.
Thank you.
im 16 ( 17 in a month) and I'm also thinking of joining the Air Force because my dad was in operation dessert storm. and as well as i want to become a mechanic, and test scores of military branches to join have brought me to this. but i don't know if i should go in for mechanics or if a different branch would be better for me, but like you my friends are doubting me, they just laugh and say i wont make it as well that i haven't done well in school. and also need to lose 35-45 pounds to make weight, so i guess were in the same boat xD Good luck :)
Kortney Ames That's awesome that you're wanting to go into Air Force. I'm 17 and enlisting in Air Force at this moment(I just got cleared to start the processing). Personally if you want to go into Air Force, even if they try to convince you not to. It's all your choice, nobody can make that decision but yourself. You never know, they may encourage you for wanting to serve this country. I'm a girl as well, but don't let that stop you. Wish the best luck with you.
Thank you. Callie Cregger
You Are Perfect! Keep going, these videos have truly been helpful to people like me that have been researching the air force and contemplating the options and reasons we may have for wanting to join. I hope that I can document my experience through this process and provide people with another perspective.
Thanks for your service
Thank you for that! I leave on the 25th I'm pretty excited. I appreciate you taking the time to inform fellow airman! FLY FIGHT WIN!
1] Do you get to pick your DORM job at BASIC TRAINING or a you assigned a job?
2] What is the best and worst DORM job to get in basic training?
3] Do you get to pick the top or bottom bunk?
Is there a top and bottom in Air Force?
remember kids, when you're outside and a plane flies over you, you have to salute it. the pilot is an officer. ALSO, if you walk by two officers you salute with your right AND left. The same applies for bigger planes like c5''s and c17's. Horde all your protein bars and play plenty of tic tac toe and hangman to help ec go by super fast.
I died laughing!
Great advice thank you so much!! Helped me through BMT
Also, in the defac, always double salute the cake.😀
Thank you for all this information, Kyle. I'm grateful for people in the military that take the time to let the people who really want to join know what they need to know. Thank you for your service. Can't wait to join this year!
I ship in 4 days basically going through all your video's making sure there's nothing I missed thank you for all the content you've created I do appreciate it.
I just got back from BMT this Monday, everything you said it's so true and will help those going in. N one more thing....GATOR ROLL!
Gator roll? Like wrestling?
@@mathiasr806 there's a squadron who's mascot is a gator. Gator roll is a move alligators do
Thanks for this video! Leaving tomorrow, hope I can remember all of this.
They never answer
👀
Keep the videos coming. New recruits need to hear this. I'm making a list for the young'en who is trying to get in. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service, as well as making videos like this. My son is leaving this summer for basic training te tips you give will definitely be handy.
What your recruiter didn't tell you is that there is an instant promotion system used during BMT. There is a car that drives around base that has a single star on the door, if you can hit the star on the car you get an instant promotion to the next higher rank!
AzianDragonz you just got so many people in trouble
When that one recruit says “Sir trainee Gott reports as ordered” because they never practiced with their last name
I leave to basic Sep 3, this video has definitely helped. I took in as much as I could. My recruiter has given me no information. So thank you man.
I love the dry and straight to the point. Thanks for making this!!
Wow, people jumping out naked from a wall locker? Times have changed. Our flight would have never even thought of it. We had people get recycled for sneaking candy into the dorm and for touching an officer. Jun 1995 is when I came in and proudly retired now!
I know! I'm also retired Air Force (23 years). I've watched some recent vids where some trainees were allowed to openly question their TIs in informal gripe (bitch) sessions; even being critical of them. Wow! I went to BMTS in 1985 and we never had ANY of that. If you questioned a TI, you were either recycled a few weeks or booted from the Air Force. I guess times have changed a bit.
people would disappear in the night if they did that. 85-93
Oh sweet, just wondering (:
I was a Bull dog in high school so I was hoping I wouldn't get that squadron. Haha.
64 days left on the countdown .. I'm so tired of waitingggg. I just want to start my journey.
A week before I am going to MEPS to physical and i love your videos, very informative exactly what i need to know
I'm leaving in three months and this video helped me out a lot with what the recruiter didn't tell me. Thanks for the insight on this though, it's much appreciated man!
The trick is to be lazy. I was one of the hard workers of my flight, but after it was all said and done, I really didn't get anything out of working harder than I needed to. Unless there is a clear and present need to shift into high-gear, just get away with cruising through. Volunteer for Dayroom Crew (if you get to choose details). When your MTI stops coming in before reveille, start setting your watch to go off early in the morning, and start making your bed and shaving before everyone crowds the bathroom. Take your time when using the latrine; enjoy the couple of minutes you have to just sit and not get yelled at. Learn all the little tricks and tips before you go in, and write them down.
Like I said, I worked hard. And I can tell you, there's no reason for it. To get recycled, you have to be doing something wrong. As long as you appear to be doing what you're told, you'll get by. Even if you aren't putting forth max effort.
What are common fears people have to deal with in the airforce, and how do religious people adjust in this branch or may struggle with?
The airforce is very supportive of any religion. In bmt they even have an atheist service, i loved it.
@David Bush answered it for ya
What?? Your voice is not annoying at all. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for all of your AF videos. I would have never even thought to ask the majority of topics you cover. You're so helpful!
Thanks so much for this video, very informative! Can't wait till BMT
I went through in 1983. The reporting statement hasn't changed. Do you still carry 341s in your pocket?
Yes
So like...if you are asked something and you can reply with yes sir or no sir but then they ask something else that needs to be answered with more than yes sir/no sir you say your reporting statement then? IT just seems weird to say yes sir or no sir then say your reporting statement afterwards to answer another question.
It depends on your MTI. If it's a "yes" or "no" question usually you would be allowed to answer "yes sir or ma'am " but some MTI's will still yell at you just because.
i know this was 4 years ago but thanx for everything. I sent through basic last year and u are exactly right on everything
anytime .glad I could help. I really enjoyed my time. Did drum n bugle at basic. then off to Boston for school then back to Germany. where I signed up at. military brat then become USAF Airman
It's not that bad. They treat you well in Air Force BMT compared to the Army and Marines, which are good at making people dumb and insensitive.
BUT, the Air Force sadly lacks in teaching personal accountability and initiative.
Quick question. You had said about you have to shave every single day? What if we have mild breakouts and ingrown hairs when we shave ? Would you be able to get a shaving waiver?
***** Thank you my man and god bless you
+James Graves Or you go and get a waiver.
+James Graves Hi James. just so that you know, a shaving waiver doesn't eliminate you needing to shave. You're just given an extra day to shave than everyone else. MTI's WILL come up to you at random and ask if you have one if they see that you have facial hair, so be prepared for that, and make sure your waiver is on you at all times.
+Kyle Gott what squadron were you in in CAP
+James graves what's a shaving waiver
Leaving tomorrow for BMT for the Air Force! I have to say I've watched a few of your videos and they definitely eased my mind.
Great video! I just had my 15 day brief and my recruiter suggested your videos they were really helpful
Why don't you salute you MTIs? They are a higher rank than you, shouldn't you salute them?
Toxic Bastard Gaming,
No don't salute them, THEY ARE NOT OFFICERS!
Don't bring pocket knives to basic, don't bring rubbers (condoms) to basic, Don't bring transistor radios to basic, Do not bring tobacco to Basic, Do Not bring drugs to basic, Do not bring porn to Basic, Do not bring alcohol to basic!!!!
Thanks for making these videos! My brother is joining to become an Aerial Gunner and these videos help out a lot with preparing him for what it will be like.
Thanks brother. Glad I stumbled upon your channel, keep up the good work.
Do they still pull your form 341's?LOL!
Ric Gillis yes! I got one pulled for laughing while at attention
I’m also glad I don’t grow facial hair fast.
Oh and I really Love your videos. Knowing all this stuff really helps feel better about leaving for basic. So thanks.
hey man. i dig your videos. i'm shipping out to BMT in a few months. looking forward to it. your videos are helping TREMENDOUSLY!! keep them coming
Im 20 years old and I want to join the air Force soon. But I currently wiegh 265lbs and it's mostly muscle because I don't look like I wiegh that much at all. Is there anyway that I can get into the air Force being as big as I am.
I have the same problem, im roughly 179 or so and my max weight by their standard's is 175, but its not fat at all... i know its muscle because i workout and train in fighting. And its hard to lose those few pounds because its healthy weight.
Colby Williams
There are exemptions and exceptions to policy. Mainly if you bust the abdominal circumference standards you can have a BMI test done.
good thing im in rotc in high school they teach us all this stuff
It honest to god does next to nothing when you get there besides Chain of command and general orders.
Thanks for answering my previous questions!
One of the better post-BMT advice videos on youtube.
Your videos are by far the best prep for MFT on youtube.
shipping out december 8th, anyone close to that?
I ship out that same day!
see you then!
+Alastor +Maria Rodriguez
I ship out then too!!! I guess I'll see you guys then, whats your last name Alastor, just out of curiosity, mine is Long.
+Alastor Me! Too! see you then!
I ship out Dec 2nd :)
do not volunteer for anything
why not? How bad can it be
Tom Camaj because chow runner gets ANNIHILATED especially if you don't know what you're doing
Tom Camaj because if you mess up, ALL focus is on you. I had prior drill experience prior to basic in 90, so when they asked, I volunteered. I then became the guide..... Smh
that was the first thing my dad told me, when I joined up. follow the "navy rule"
N ever
A gain
V olunteer
Y ourself
Actually the first advice my dad gave me was "not to join the Army". So I did join the Navy. 😅
Hey Kyle, I want to thank yo for this video, I'm going through my last year of high school at the moment, and I was planning on going through the military, and I chose Air Force because I have been told it was a REALLY good option, so I'm looking forward to it. Your videos look like they will help me so much in knowledge, and I thank you for this.
Graduated September 4th; BMT had its moments, but I'm glad it's over.
is 28 too old to join the AF? is it a little embarrassed to show up in BMT at age 28?
I'm 27, about to give it a shot myself
can f Age 28 is not too old to join the AF Reserve. As long as you are physically fit, you can join and successfully complete basic training. You are set!
can f the other guys in your training flight will prob call you grandpa.
I turned 25 in basic, had no problem at all.
No
I'm a 31 year old guy living in my parents' basement. Never served, never wanted to, but found this video interesting.
I feel bad for you. I'd rather serve at least for three years in the Navy Reserve.
You can still join at 31 I think
+cincycap You can join at 39, just changed it this year
hehe
cincycap still in the basement dude?
Thank you for this video it's in detail and hopefully will help me at BMT. I plan to keep watching your videos!
36 years ago on 26 September (1984) I went to basic training... retired SMSgt in march 2005... I miss the military an camaraderie. I punched out when I did because leadership sucked from the top down. Zero integrity!
I salute you for serving your country. Make a difference during your enlistment set the example and lead with integrity!
I ship out January 12th for BMT, anyone else?
Good luck.. Try to run a bit before you go!
I do tooo
+Calvin Small how much is a bit?
+Caitlin Smith Me too!!
+Drew Grimm my ship date got pushed back a week so I leave the 18th now, but follow me on Instagram!! @Caittlinsmith
Be outstanding, but don't stand out. Having facial hair makes you a target. When you show up, don't wear shirts with logos. Don't wear grilles or jewelry. Don't think you are a Marine or Special forces. Bring good running shoes, but not expensive or fancy ones. Run everyday in hot and cold weather. Etc.
Don't bring weapons to BMT. No knives or guns-people are stupid enough to do that. Don't be a leader for the first several weeks-you don't know what you are doing and the people you lead won't know any better-so you have to take all the crap that the stupid people are doing.
Forensource Take BMT seriously, but don't take it too seriously. The TI is going tell that you are shit or great depending on the day of the week-and how the other ncos are doing Basic is a mind game that you are meant to get through. The military doesn't want you to fail, you do that by your own actions.
Forensource Learn how to speak Air Force, not Army/Marines. The AF has doors and floors-not hatches and decks. You eat at the Dining Hall, not the Mess Hall. (Don't call it chow hall to someone who works there-dogs eat chow.)
Forensource Think about when you are going to Basic Training. San Antonio is crazy hot during the summer-trainees die from heat stroke every summer. It is cold in the mid winter. So think about the season...
***** Everybody calls it the chow hall, just don't call it that to the NCO working there-they get upset... Nobody calls it the "mess hall.'
Thank you for being so informative. I shall not disappoint.
Great video much needed info! Took every word to heart and will be taking this with me to Air Force BMT!
Crazy how I was enlisting 5 years ago.. Never completed it and I have been trying to finish the job but with Trump as president I ain't going to
Iron Man it doesn’t matter who is president, I’m not a fan of trump and I’m enlisting now. You serve your country because you love it.
Iron Man
President Trump is great.
trump 2020
Excellent job on this video, Kyle. Thanks for the insight!
Great video. Really will help when I go to basic in a year and a half.
Thank you very much. i have put in research and found some cool things. thank you and keep up the cool videos.
i think what you are doing is great and you are helping a lot. really not dry!
thanks for all your help I'm leavin for bmt in 26 days and I appreciate all the help
Don’t apologize. Great video. Thank you for the insight.
I've learned wayyy more from Kyle than any recruiter would ever dare tell you. You always gotta make sure you are using the recruiter to get what you want, not the other way around.
Joining the Air Force soon really appreciate the videos you’re putting out just wanted to say thank you for the help!
very helpful man, i leave in 2 months for basic. highly appreciate the knowledge
Dude, this is, by far, the most informational video I have watched about BMT. I am leaving in a few months to San Antonio. I guess I was looking for a female's perspective, but all of those videos are useless IMO. Yours was not dry; it was perfect! To the point, not a lot of hmming and hawing. Just right for me! It is much appreciated! Thanks!
I've really been enjoying your videos. Thank you very much.
Very well spoken, thanks very much for the details and letting us know that you wish you had known some of the stuff you had mentioned. Awesome!
Just posted some of your videos on our Pre TRS mom support group on Facebook. They've been helpful. Thanks!
Good video. I went through BMT back in 2004. I tried to stay under the radar and wound up as a chow runner. Having to deal with the snake pit three times a day was not fun, but looking back, it's good for a laugh or two. And band flight.... when you first arrive at BMT, when one of the MTIs asks who all plays a musical instrument, don't raise your hand unless you play the snare drum or a brass instrument like the trumpet. If you do, you'll wind up on a bass drum.
I leave in 22 days! You are amazing! Thank you so much!
