- Welcome to my suggestion for what to bring to BMT in the Air Force! I've included a link below with what the Air Force suggests you bring, based off of what they provide. I HIGHLY suggest taking a look and going off of that, considering their information is probably more recent than mine. Thanks for watching!

I started watching your videos before I met with my recruiter for the first time. Now I’m officially enlisted and I ship out on Oct 30! Thank you for all your help and preparation for us that are heading into BMT 💕
Omg that is so amazing! Good luck girl :)
Me three! lol
Ayyyy October 30th squad!!! 🤙🏾
I’m shipping out October 30th as well!!
Good luck to you all!!! 😊✊🏾
Girl, you’ve helped encourage me so freaking much ! I’m a single mother and am 5 months pregnant w my first child and want to join once she is 6 months. Single parents can join Air Force now and I want to take full advantage of the opportunity and will not give up ❤️🙏🏽
AMIEYA. TV hey any chance you have any resources on this? As far as I’ve seen you still can’t but I’d love to learn more!
Hannah Eades follow me on IG @iamamieya or add me on snap @nykorrrrina and I’ll answer any questions you have 😁
@@AMIEYATV u joined?
No idea why I'm watching BMT videos a few months after graduating LOL but I just wanted to comment that everyone should take the advice in this vid!!!! I watched this before I left and It helped me so much (especially the underwear/bra quantities). You got me thru, girl!
Ahhh that's so freaking awesome to hear feedback like that!
about underwear, can they be any color? I have appropriate cut they just came in a pack with a few nude-and-gray stripe patterned pairs, will they allow them?
If shaving cream isn’t allowed, use conditioner. It really helps and prevents razor burn.
She reminds me of Amanda Bynes. A little
Laic Balderas like Amanda Bynes and Ashley Tisdale combined
Laic Balderas like Amanda Bynes and Ashley Tisdale combined
She kinda reminds me of Olivia Holt
YES!! God! I couldn't figure it out but yessss she does!
Omg girl you are hilarious!!! I leave for BMT in a couple days and you’re helping ya girl out so much here 🙌🏽
I know I'm probably late, but I wanted to say thanks for the information I'm currently getting ready to go into the air force and I just wanted to say thank you for the information and all the advice that you have given me and everyone else.
Can you do a uniform regulated hair tutorial?
I filmed one today! It'll be coming soon :)
I can’t wait to see your channel grow even more!!
Girl me and you both!!
This is really helpful. I served the Philippine Air Force for 4 years then I migrated here in US two yrs ago and had been planning on joining the USAF and these tips and advices you share is REALLLLLLY Helpful. Im still contemplating whether if I should or shouldnt join since i have a little boy now and my husband just got out of a 6 year service. Please continue to make videos like these. They're really helpful!
I love your videos! They're very helpful. I ship out 9/11, and seeing your videos have helped a lot
I leave in July! Thanks for the helpful information, I love your videos.
Went through AF basic training in 1976. You girls and guys have the benefit of modern communication to share what to expect in the experience. Back then, you just jumped in and learned to sink or swim. But, joining the AF will be the best decision you ever make. Take on the challenge with a gusto. AIM HIGH!!!
Giiiiirrrrrrrllllll, you just earned yourself a new subscriber
Lol her "butthole" hahah great video
I ship out March 12th. Your channel has prepared me so much. Thank you!
Good luck!
Your videos are always so informative ❤️
I ship September 4th... it’s the 2nd. Wish me luck! Loved the vid! Thanks!
AHHHH you're in BMT right now I hope you had a good time and succeeded and are excited for what the future holds!!
Make a video of your experience!! I’d love to hear it
Thank you so so much! I really appreciate all your videos and advice :)
You are really beautiful I like your videos alot and think you are a great person I appreciate how detailed you are, and you really cover alot of the questions people would ask I like your personality alot I can tell your really being yourself. You are an awesome human being from the videos I've seen from you. You are great don't mind what other negative comments people have to say about you because you are so preciously good at what your doing and people that have anything opposite of what to say about you are jealous. Keep up the videos and great work!
Thanks for the information. I’ve been watching your videos about the Air Force. And I’m still debating if I should join or not 😭 Can you do a video about the physical fitness and what you remember from push ups, running, how much you ran, sit ups, & whatever physical fitness you guys did ?
Hey! It's a really big decision so I don't blame you :) I was hoping to do a video where I do my PT test and let you guys come with me so you can see how it is! I haven't worked out in a WHILE so it will be a struggle hahaha
Omg 😌 I’m leaving in 5 days 🥰 so excited 🤫
18:14, watched it a few times and i'm still dying lol thank you for all of the helpful tips!
You're awesome thanks so much for help! Wish the best for you.
I ship out next week Monday and man procrastination at its finest
How has it been?
I am not interested in enlisting in anything but i love your personality and videos. They are interesting. 😊
Great video! Super helpful!
I’m glad they let you bring your own soap! I thought they didn’t allow that and it made me so nervous because I have specific soap or I break out really bad.
I love your videos they’re so helpful!!! I leave for bmt on June 19!!!
Thank you SO MUCH I love to hear I'm helping. I wish you the best of luck! Make sure when you go to MEPS you know if you wanna sign a 4-year or 6-year contract, I went in wanting a 4-year and was tricked into a 6-year. So just know exactly what you want! I always recommend 4 because you can always add more years, you can't take them away (without extreme circumstances). BUT GOOD LUCK!
kelsey ross me too!
I live in Texas so I already live through a stressful heat wave
I ship out on May 22nd, time feels like it’s flying!
I ship in 2 days! Thank you for the tips
Kellie Hannum omg 2 days!! Good luck ❤️❤️
I ship June 19th 😩😩 I can’t wait
I love how real you are 😂
My brother is an airman and I know that he said that you can’t have the floss picks. The drill Sargent or whoever it was told them it was considered as a weapon so they made them throw it out.
That’s when I’ll be going is about July next year to AFBMT
Chopped off my hair to a short Bob and dyed it back to natural color. Planning on getting a Brazilian Blowout before I go so it stays sleek and in place without spending time or using product. Only thing is I would have to use a sulfate free shampoo so travel size is probably not an option for me but will try to get a smaller bottle...
10:40 “tied like THOSSS” LOL!
Thank you that's alot of good information.
So I am almost 13. At the beginning of 6th grade I wanted to join. I think I would love it. My brother Bobby is in the Army and my other brother Arian wants to be in the Army also. My dad was in the Navy. SO thanks for the content!!
Very informative thanks for the tips....Can you do an Asvab video, and give tips on how to study for it? Thanks Elora.❤️ Also I have the underneath of my hair dyed blonde would I have to dye it back to my regular color for basic training? I pretty sure I do but what do you think. 💕
I wouldn't be much of an expert on the subject considering I didn't study! And from the way you describe it, I would say yes. Your hair has to be one color, not including "natural" highlights and what not.
Elora Jean thank you I appreciate it. ☺️
Do Khan academy to help 👍, I really didn't study and got a 70 but aiming for higher
thank you so much for this video!! did you ever get to pluck your eyebrows & can you keep tweezers on you?
Do they give you money from your paycheck to buy things like the watch or do I have to bring my own card also regarding feminine products, are we allowed to bring some or do they provide those for us?
Hey Elora! This video was super helpful! I’m also wondering though, how many travel sized shampoo/conditioner/etc do you recommend bringing? Also, how many ounces is that Clinique face lotion? Thanks!
I ship out in January! I have a while before I ship out but I've literally watched all of your videos! Thank you so much for all of this information...I definitely feel more prepared!
I'm so happy to have been able to help! Good luck!!!
Elora Jean thank you!😊
i have curly hair, so are sunday’s a day i could take the time to take care of my hair?
Can you do a day in beast week video? I’d like to see how hard it is.
Can you bring stud earrings for your graduation and when doing your make up for your graduation also for your pictures how much time do they give you
You can not wear earrings at all during BMT, to include for photos or graduation. I remember getting about 30 minutes to do makeup for photos, but you can not wear makeup for graduation
So did you just bring multiple travel size bottles? If so where do you put the extras?
I wasnt issued a back pack, with the items she is talking about. I was provided a list by my recruiter. She is so full of it
Keep up the videos!!! They are great. So about the things they give you,if you already bought some of the items. Do you have to take what they give you? This way we don’t get charge for something we won’t use. Also do you think a baby g-shock is flashy?? It’s black water resistant an really old. Plus it tells military time.
You receive every single item they give you, whether you brought it or not. I don't know if it's a uniformity thing or what, but I would save your money and just take what they give you. I found myself using 90% of the stuff even after BMT so it wasn't horrible. If it's solid black you'll be fine! One of the people in my flight had a G-shock watch that worked for her.
Shipping out in 9 days (AHHHH!). Thank you so much for making these videos! Was curious about the chapstick.. can you bring any flavor as long as it is colorless, or do you have to bring plain chapstick?
You can bring any chapstick your heart desires :) No matter the color haha. I wouldn't bring anything that looks like lipstick, but I don't think there's anything saying it can't be tinted. The color of the tube can be whatever color, too. (I didn't know which you were referring to)
Elora Jean Awesome! Thank you again :)
I think you should be out now... how was it? I know that’s a vague question, lol. I’m 15 and heavily considering the Air Force for when I can join and just want all the info I can get. Thank you:)
@@linsay3574 Sorry for the late reply. It really wasn't that bad. Just make sure that you are physically fit before you join. It will make bootcamp much easier.
Do we have to wear only sports bras? Or can we wear regular bras for training.
Thanks just for regulation black or white play it safe like.💞💞💞💞💞
So I have extremely long hair. It reaches my butt. I have no intention of cutting it. I use a LOT of shampoo and conditioner. Like small travel sized bottles would last me 3-4 washes, if that. Would there be opportunities to refill the travel sized ones??
I have a quick question, what about earrings? Are they allowed? If so can they be regular one or the clear ones?
If I have dark brown hair, of like auburn brown will black hair ties and Bobby pins work? Or do I need to find a more exact match?
Pretty good video, maybe try to include an introduction or sometime to give the video more catching power. Also, how do you rember all of these things from basic training?
I appreciate the feedback! I can remember a lot of things just because it was such a huge part of my life, but I did have a notebook that I used to keep track of what we did weekly
would i be able to wear running shorts to BMT? like running shorts, a t-shirt, and running shoes?
Hi I just watched A video from someone who did basic about five months ago and she said that they were allowed to wear joggers and leggings for the first three days, did they change it?
Leaving for bmt next week!! I have a question: so for underwear and bras and socks, if we bring our own, is it okay if they have logos on them?
For underwear and bras, it doesn't matter. They can be whatever you want. For socks, they end up giving you uniform ones, but for the first few days when you're wearing your own clothes, bring socks with small logos. The Nike check, Under Armour logo, etc are okay.
Thanks for small suggestion.💞💞💞💞💞
I go next week 👌💪
You got it girl
Me too! April 24th ✈️
Jaeda Gilmore see you there!! ❤❤
Good morning Elora. Would I be able to use any proactiv item while in BMT.
How often are you able to go to the store to buy things? I know you go there when you first arrive, but what if you forget something during the first time, are you allowed to go back?
I'm not certain...maybe once a week? But I do remember our MTI allowing us to go back if we forgot something important. In that case he would send you back with a buddy, with a little slip to carry on you in case you get stopped by anyone else lol.
Definitely a cutie😃👍nice upload stay blessed 😁
❤
for the mouthwash I'm pretty sure you can get it alcohol free but would that be allowed?
What do you wear for pajamas? Or do you bring your own?
i ship Jan 2nd! im so nervousss
Natalie Alzate me as well!
Natalie Alzate how was it?
yeah how was it lol
I love your videos! I’m planning on enlisting and I’m super nervous. My question is what can you wear to graduation?
Thanks! And that's great, to graduation you can wear your uniform lol. You don't wear civilian clothes at all in your time during BMT other than the first few days of arriving (when you don't have uniforms yet) and the last day when you fly to tech school. You wear OCPs to the coin ceremony and blues to the actual graduation parade. It was ABUs when I went through but I believe the new people going through are getting OCPs.
I ship in September!!! This video was really helpful! Just wondering would be able to bring my retainer?
You can bring it! I brought mine.
this is so dumb but i leave next week & i really wanna know like exactly what type of pants i should bring..... are trackpants okay ??? like sweatpants orrrrr
Can you bring a face wash that contains alcohol? Without my face wash I get bad breakouts!
This might be a stupid question but I’m gonna ask- can you wear an Apple Watch? It obviously won’t be connected to my phone but
This probably sounds so stupid but would i be able to keep my nipple piercings ?
Hi Elora Jean! It's my 1st time to watch your AF videos and I'm enjoying them!! I'm just wondering. Are cellphones or mobile phones allowed to bring on BMT? If no, when can you have your phone?
Hey! I'm glad you're into the videos, cellphones are definitely allowed but they will be taken from you and stored in a locked box. You will be able to use your phone periodically to call your family, but you won't have it in your possession.
Do they allow menstrual cups? I don't really use tampons and pads but I dont see the cups on the list.
are you allowed to bring a cell phone or do you have to leave them behind/ do they take them from you?
Can you bring like bio freeze or anything like that for sore muscles?
Are you able to have sports bras with logos written across the front?
Yes! Bras and panties can be whatever color, print, pattern, etc.
With buying things from the store, did you bring cash or your debit card, or both?
I brought a debit card to BMT, but they end up giving you this prepaid debit card with like $200 as an advance from your future paycheck.
Okay so I was hoping you'd cover earrings when you were talking about jewellery. I can take a guess that more than one hole isn't allowed but did you wear earrings at BMT? I have 4 ear holes each and a industrial bar.....
Jewelry is not allowed during BMT! And in the actual operational field, you can only wear one pair of earrings in the lowest piercing of the lobe. You have to take everything else out in uniform.
I ship February 19th, and your videos are beyond helpful! I did however, have a question about makeup. I know we probably won’t have time to do full face, but what kind of makeup do you recommend bringing?!
I ship February 19 too!!
You're invited to my new group 'February 18-20 Shippers' on GroupMe. Click here to join: groupme.com/join_group/45551332/tQJ8Fi
Jennifer Jolicoeur I ship out February 19th as well!
ALSO can you wear sweat pants/joggers or are those too close to yoga pants?
Are we allowed to have tweezers?
Can you wear braids? Like if I join and I want to have my hair in box braids? Do they make you cut your hair ?
Braids are allowed, you can find the specifics if you look up AFI 36-2903 (make sure it's the most recent one from 2018). There's rules regarding size of braids and spacing between them all
Elora Jean thank you!
If we have non-aerosol hairspray that contains alcohol, is that okay to bring?
Nalani Indigo I want to say that’s okay? It’s probably the best idea to double check with what the Air Force suggests on their packing list, which I think I linked in the description
I'm curious if AF reserves and AF active duty go to the same bmt?
Everyone in the Air Force, whether it be active duty, guard or reserves goes to the same BMT!
Can you bring hair dryer and straighter and heat spray with you????
what face wash do you suggest? & we HAVE to run while wearing glasses? I wear glasses but when I run I never wear them and do fine haha
I'm not sure...whatever works for your skin type, really. I use Dove bar soap for sensitive skin but I know it's kindof inconvenient to have a bar. And I guess you don't HAVE to wear them, but you're gonna be wearing eye glasses straps so they won't go anywhere.
Elora Jean I use these face wipes but don’t know if theyre allowed there! Because I seen where it can’t have alcohol in it. & Okay thank you!
My eyebrows grow so quickly and I’d rather not have to rock a unibrow all through basics. Any advice?
I came across your videos and I really like them! They’ve been super helpful. I ship out November 6 😬😬😬 and wanted to know how long they give you to shower? Lol
You get like...15 ish minutes? Sometimes it was less, sometimes it was more. If you weren't really being watched, or if it was a Sunday and no MTI was around, it was way more lax.
Gloria Hernandez I ship the 6th as well ! Good luck 🧡
Ambiyan ღ thank you, good luck to you too love!
Gloria Hernandez thanks boo💕
Would joggers work for comfortable pants ? Or sweats like joggers?
Hey! I was just wondering for girls do they give you time before pictures or graduation to like pluck your eyebrows and make yourself look at least semi-presentable lol! I do not want my pics to have my bushy eyebrows in them
Hey :) So most of the time yes, I mean you can pluck your eyebrows throughout BMT honestly because they won't take your tweezers away and sometimes you have extra time, but MTIs usually also give a bit of time for minimal makeup. That's not a guarantee though, some didn't give time.
how do you get to keep those medium to larger sized products like lotion or moisturizer if you cannot bring it onto the plane?? doesnt everything have to be like 6-8fl oz or less?
I ended up purchasing larger objects once I was at BMT, when we went to the store for the first time a few days into training. I brought mostly carry-on sized things though in case I couldn't check my bad (which I ended up not being able to do).
Would you pick air force or the army?
Can you bring the small razor to clean up your eyebrows? Cos my eyebrows don’t work with me if I don’t thread them! 😩
You are allowed to bring razors or small grooming tools if you desire :)
Also do we bring any civilian outfits for after graduation?
You can bring some in your bag but I recommend putting an outfit aside and asking your family to bring it to you
Is it okay to go into bmt with my toenails painted?
what pants do you recommend when going in the summer??
