When I was there back in the early 90s we stayed in open bays with bunks, but after the first few weeks we could get passes to go off base but had to be back by 11, but if someone had family close to the base the DS could let you stay off base if you said you were staying with them, So nicer rooms now but more strict on the passes.
Loved the video! Excited to see new ones coming out!! Loved the music btw it was super dope. Hope you’re having a safe and wonderful time home and have a safe flight back to base!
31J AIT at Ft. Gordon GA. 1981. A 25 week course. No different than being in a regular unit. Weekends of in civvies every weekend. and after 17:00 on week nights. If you were married you lived off post. No DS.
I use quite a bit of southern slang so I wonder how much my battle buddies are gonna mess with me about it. 😁 June 4th is so close and I'm not nervous; just confident and excited! Thanks for the videos!
I remember back in AIT, wed sit around and do each others hair... Or we would come to and wonder wtf happened at the E club the night before and why we only had $4 left after pulling $200 out of the atm the day before... The Ft Sam lean is legit! Wtf: can't drink in AIT? Hahahaha... Holy crykies we were trashed half our freetime! But never on sunday! Monday pt is legit!
I'm thinking of enlisting, I do have a husband and a baby. I'm joining for reasons that would help my family, but I feel like I would be too into my emotions about leaving them, but I am also doing it for them. Does this make me a bad mother or wife? Were there other woman like this in basic or ait?
Kimberly Mojica girl my baby is 15 months and I have a husband. I’ll be shipping in May 28th. It’s gonna be hard but you just gotta do what you need to do. At the end they will be so proud of you. Good luck
Girl, no! It makes you a wonderful wife and mother. You’re making a huge sacrifice for your family. I also have a husband, I joined for us. I’m not going to lie, the separation part SUCKS but you’re doing it to better your life. You’ll eventually be home with them and they’ll be grateful for what you did. Don’t get down on yourself. There were SO many mothers and wives with me at basic. If it’s something you want to do, go for it!
Your so pretty!! Your videos are super helpful when it comes to knowing a little bit more about what to expect, I just had a question when are you allowed to wear makeup? Hope you have a good time back at home 💓
So sweet!!! Thank you so much💗 I’ll go in depth about makeup in my next Q+A video..sometime this week!! But you can’t wear it at basic and depending on your company at AIT will depend if/when/how much you can wear!
i was 65b chemical operations specialist when i was in the army back in the 90s. i did boot camp n ait at ft.mcclellan, alabama. i decontaminated chemical weapons. even though i had the suit on properly, the chem. weapons still converted me into a type3 diabetic. i got out the army 2 years later due to physicaln mental medical reasons. the veterans affairs are trying to get me healthy again, despite the physical nmental illnesses the army has caused me. fer most of my active duty time, i spent it at ft.hood, texas. i wish i had different mos, i might have had a career out of it. anyways, you have a beautiful winning smile. what state is ft.lee located in?
Hey are you allowed to bring a small makeup bag to basic ( keep it in your civilian bag ) & then you can wear it on graduation day ? I am getting mixed answers some day no they were told the same thing and had to throw it out when they got to basic and some say it wasn’t a problem .
icrylical _ i literally graduated at fort lee in february of 2019. we weren’t allowed to wear civilian clothes on pass or even wear them at AIT at all.
Lexi Fickes best compliment ever, really? How many times have u been told u look just like your mom? I think that’s actually the best compliment ever! 🤣
not very smart going off post in your uniform. kinda of a safety issue. not everyone likes the military and your just advertising yourself as a target. just like your not suppose to fly in a civilian airplane in your uniform. silly privates
@@LexiFickes thats when you hide some civilian clothes and change. But yes active duty we cant travel in uniform unless it was dress uniform. It's just for safety.
Y’all look so dope in yalls uniform. I leave in 8 days I’m so excited!!

I went to AIT at Fort Eustis, VA in 2005, we still had DS tho. Man this is so chill now.
We had drill sergeants as well!

Army Buu It all depends on your drill sergeants. Every company/battalion was different! I’ll include more on this in my next Q & A vid!

Calvin Martin i was at fort lee but in quartermaster and we weren’t allowed to wear civilian clothes out on pass.
That's a lie, when I went last year we were allowed to on black and gold pass.
Unless they changed the rules
icrylical _ thank you so much!
Calvin Martin they might have changed the rules.
I havent been to Ait since last year of March through May.
icrylical _ i literally graduated at fort lee in february of 2019. we weren’t allowed to wear civilian clothes on pass or even wear them at AIT at all.
At fort lee if you have a car can you drive it or do you still have to call a cab 🚕?
Pretty much in AIT, most bases let you take your car.
Thank you for your service. Very nice video

steve c LOL. the only thing we were allowed to go off post in was our OCPs, silly. Also, when traveling for basic/AIT we had to travel in uniform.
