you have no idea how worried I got when you said penicillin!! If I stated I was mildly allergic to it, do I still get the shot?! I don't wanna die!! lol
WildBlueYonder i was just going to ask that! My son is allergic to Amoxicillin/Penicillin drugs...last time he had it when he was young which he got hives!😣 So i told him that im sure that they will do something or watch him to make sure he dont die! Crossing fingers as he leaves on Dec 12th
I’m terrible with shots and blood work... I was told at MEPS to alert BMT nurses about my situation and to say I need to lay down. I hope I can get a chance to tell them
I've been watching your videos for a little bit now, and i really appreciate the tips you give out. I go to Nashville MEPS Wednesday of next week, and I am super pumped!
+Jasmine D Uhh lol that's just one that you'll have to toughen up for. I'd remember that everyone is doing it, and it's not just you. Also to try and relax and just zone out if you can. The nurses are pretty quick and friendly about it, and the shoulder shots don't hurt at all, it just feels like a puff of air
from my experience [not in bmt but with my physician] the tetanus shot was the one that hurt. minor sting, but for some reason it had prolonged soreness at injection site.
The peanutbutter shot sounds a lot like my birth control shot. It's thick like peanutbutter and hurts for days. But I'm allergic to penicillin so I don't have to worry about it.
+WildBlueYonder what happens if you don't want to get shots at all? And I was wondering I was thinking about joining but I have a small tattoo on the back of my neck of my zodiac sign, would that disqualify me from joining? Some people have said no but some people say yes. Some people have said its okay to have one on the back of your neck just not in the front above the collarbone where they could see it. I really want to join but I'm scared they might say no because of my tattoo. What do you think ???
+Courtney Chambers you can't join if you have any tattoos on your neck, scalp, back of the neck, ears lip, tongue, etc. I'm sure you can get it removed but the AF won't pay for it
I didn't know I had a penicillin allergy when I processed through meps, I literally just found out and my ship date is around the corner. I don't have paperwork to prove it either, it happened as a baby when I was overseas. My recruiter is telling me to just tell the people at bootcamp that I can't take penicillin. Are they going to force me to take it? My mom is urging me to stay from penicillin
I am planning on enlisting in the Air Force But I am trying to find an Religious Vaccination exemption form Because vaccines are against my religion so How can I obtain a religious exemption form?
This video should have been about whats in the shots, not about the pain of the needle which im more concirned about wha they are putting in my body. I know its the typical immunities for diseases but i also heard that they test things on you to see how you react to it which im fishy about
The stuff that is actually inside of shots is a weakened form of the disease; too weak to even reproduce, but enough so that your body can develop an immunity, as well as some antivirals to help, nothing toxic.
How does getting a career work overall, after asvab I mean. I know what wanna do with my life, programming, but before I see a recruiter I wanna know how the process works first. Your videos help a lot with calming nerves and things about basic so thanks, definite subscribe, especially for a roosterteeth fan like me.
Phillip Spradley Awesome, Did you go to RTX? And here is a basic overview:1. Speak to a recruiter 2. Paperwork3. Go to MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station)4. While at MEPS, you will select 10 jobs to place on your dream sheet. These will be jobs that you have time before and during MEPS to research and select. 4. Once jobs are selected and everything at MEPS is taken care of, you will be indoctrinated into the DEP (Delayed Entry Program)5. Now you wait. You'll call your recruiter twice a month and see them in person once a month until you ship out.6. If your recruiter gets a job from the pipeline (but it isn't on your dreamsheet, or anyone else's in the DEP) then they'll offer it to you. You can then research it and take it or leave it. If you take it, then you'll receive a ship date with that job. If you leave it, then you'll continue waiting for another job.7. If a job comes down the pipeline and IS on your dream sheet, then you will be assigned to it automatically and you will receive your ship date. You cannot deny a job that is listed on your dreamsheet.8. You either receive a job, or you won't, and your year long limit in the DEP will expire, and you will have to re-enter the DEP.
WildBlueYonder No I live in Florida so I couldn't go to RTX(wanted to so I could see the status of RWBY). Hopefully not many people enlisting in the Air Force want to be a programmer then, because that's the route I wanna go. I guess I just got to wait to see a recruiter, all off for training right now.
About a month lol my recruiter doesn't play around he's really quick. I met my recruiter for the first time and that day he scheduled me to go to Meps a week later for the ASVAB and physical and then within a month he booked me a job
I have a non-immunization question, what are the rules when it comes to women wearing makeup in the military? I don't wear too much makeup anyway, just asking out of curiosity 🤔
L K Yes, everyone in the flight has to get immunizations in case you’re ever shipped overseas and so you don’t infect other trainees. It’s safety protocol.
i know im posting late but do they make you take any mandatory pills beside the one you take if youre allergic to penicillin? i have a thing with pills and i wanted to make sure
I remember this well. Our sister flight had to go first and my flight was just sitting there with our colored paper giggling at their expressions as they came back out and then it was our turn and believe me no one was smiling anymore when we had to get up xD
Is it possible to get all the shots required before you leave? Including the peanut butter shot? Im a huge baby when it comes to needles so I figured it would create less stress for me to just get all of them done before.
+Mikayla Carmichael I wouldn't. You may have to get them again, and you may not get all the ones you need. Plus you don't know which ones you need and don't. And it's free at BMT. lol
Hey wild blue love the videos and thank you so mutch for the preperation and info I have a question about braces and dental care during BMT and active duty how does that work?
Jeff Daugherty Yea that air gun was wicked but they used it so as to be able to administer multiple shots fast. Compared to today's tiny pin prick that air gun was indeed painful. I don't mind shots at all but that was no fun.
+CoCo F If you don't turn it in, it'll be okay. Your recruiter may have marked you so that you don't have to turn in your medical records, ask him/her what the case may be
Question, I hate shots but I mean….that's life but I thought of it when you were discussing the peanut butter shot….what if you're allergic to penicillin? Will this disqualify you from entering or….? Also I have watch basically every video but I'm not sure if you have a video about what disqualifies you (you probably do, I'm just forgetting about it) UPDATE: Kidding, just went down the comments and found out about the penicillin….sorry
Do they ask you there if your allergic to penicillin? Because once I got back from meps I never remember being asked if I'm allergic to any medications and if I did I for got put down that I'm allergic to penicillin. Anyways my mom told me that I am allergic to penicillin and I get a rash but I didn't realize this until after I completed meps. So long story short will I get in trouble if I tell them that I'm allergic to penicillin while I'm getting all my shots, because I don't want to get dishonorably discharged from the Air Force on my first day of basic training all because i forgot to say that I'm allergic to penicillin on my paperwork at meps. A respond will be great as this is the only thing I'm nervous about going to bmt, I leave nov 17. Thanks for your time.
bmad222 by all means speak up about this when at the clinic and let them know this. This is critical information that needs verified for if not you could have a serious reaction sometime that could be fatal. Even if it turns out that you were wrong the AF is not going to discharge you for speaking up about a serious medical concern. Make sure you either verify this with your home physician or have the make it known to the AF when you arrive at the clinic.
bmad222 Yes, before administering the medication, they will ask if anyone is allergic to penicillin or any of the other medications. At that time, you'll be able to get the alternative medication.
First of all thanks for all the cool videos you make. They are very helpful. You know how when black men shave we got those nasty razor bumps? How did you combat that in BMT and being in the Air Force? I'll be leaving for bmt in a few months.
kevin yancey Honestly, black guys don't really have to shave in the military. If you get ingrown hairs from shaving like I do, you will go down to Reid Medical Center at BMT and talk to a doctor. They'll see that you have curly hair and then they will do one of two things. 1. They'll give you what's called a "shaving waiver". This allows you to grow your facial hair up to a quarter inch in length and use an electric razor instead of using a blade. Or 2. They'll give you a cream to apply when shaving with a blade to combat ingrown hairs. Most people just got shaving waivers. Just let them know that you get bad bumps when you shave
1. You have the option of not turning in your medical records? 2.Why do they require a penicillin shot? Is it because they are afraid of people having stds? 3. How is BMT for girls different from BMT for guys? 4. Do you have to stay with your flight 24/7 or do you get to meet the people from other flights?
+Laney AB 1. Yes2. Penicillin boosts your immune system and helps you fight off the many sicknesses that can be easily spread in the close-quarters living conditions of BMT3. BMT for girls is pretty much the same. You have to do your hair faster and worry about keeping your hair in regulations, unlike men. Women also have to fold bras in their clothing drawer.. That's about it4. You're with your flight 24/7, but sometimes you mix with other flights. For example, BEAST week, PT, while doing laundry if you're on laundry crew, and during church if you go
I’m just gonna be a passed out I’ll just give it to me then we don’t have to deal with my and my anxiety me and lucky for me I have all my vaccines I probably can’t even be in the Air force because my anxiety
dede47able I don't know, I'm sorry but I can't answer that for you. You'll have to contact your recruiter and see what they have to say about it. Chances are, it won't affect you majorly as if you had a 1st degree, or time in juvy, etc.
Oh. +WildBlueYonder I hate to be rude, but, how old are you? I thought that you can only go when you graduate college. Sorry to be rude. Do you have an Instagram? I have questions and was wondering if you could answer them. Thanks.
Oh it's alright. I'm 20. And to attend the Air Force Academy, you don't need to go to college. The Air Force Academy IS a college, so when you graduate you earn your bachelors degree. And I don't have an instagram, but you can ask me questions here
+Maestro Ninja Yes, some people do get dizzy and feint. You will have two Airmen next to you to support you through the process and if you pass out they'll just hold you
I'm allergic to Penicillin so I guess I'll be taking pills, do you know if they are tablet pills or capsule-like pills? (are those pills medication or antibiotics?)
WildBlueYonder lol whoops yeah Idk why I thought they weren't antibiotics... I've had to take antibiotic pills and they just killed off everything in my gut (good and bad bacteria) I doubt I would be allowed to take probiotics if I needed to (they help to restore the good intestinal flora) but I guess I'll see what happens. The reason why I asked if they were tablets is because usually they're bitter and I find them to be a little more difficult to swallow versus capsule-like pills.
Hey WildBlue... I am 16 and planning on going into the Air Force. There is a few jobs that look awesome and few more id be okay with having. But the one Job I really want is Special Missions Aviation. I was just wondering how hard it is to obtain this job. I am fit and fairly smart. How high of a ASVAB score do you need is it? Is it a very open job?
***** Hey thanks for the information, I've heard of the program but never knew what it really was, I turn 17 in February so I'll definitely look into it.
TheIrradiatedGamer unfortunately it's not a guarantee that you'll get that one job. when you go to MEPS, you have to list six of them and whichever one comes up first, you are obligated to take it. That was actually my number one pick also but i had a "change of heart" and decided to test for EOD (I leave September 29th). Also, my recruiter said that that job doesn't come up extreemly often (maintenance jobs are always trying to get filled). it really all depends on the recruiter you get. good luck and i wish you the best of luck in getting the job you want. "fly-fight-win"
+Anythingcoolguy Wait so is Special Missions Aviation is hard to get? I know it isnt guaranteed but is it a quite open job and if I score high on my ASVAB is there a good chance of me getting it?
Hey WildBlueYonder I ship out to BMT in 4 days!! The only thing i'm honestly worried about is the PT. How much would you say someones PT scores improve by throughout basic?? My push-ups are at 30, sit-ups 40, and run time around 12 minutes. Pretty bad, right? o_o
I'm crazy afraid of shots. I'm in the DEP now, I think the only shot I have up to date is my tetanus shot so I might have to get like 5 shots. If I went to the doctor now and got a couple of them before I go, would I have to get them again at Basic? I guess what I'm saying is could I like space them out now so it's not so many in one day?
Vault101Resident Honestly I don't know. It might be too late for it to be put on your record, so you might end up getting the same shot twice. I would ask your recruiter. And honestly, they're not THAT bad. The shock and awe of 0 week, with the change of environment and everything, toughens you up and get's you in the "just do it" mindset. Of course all of your brothers/sisters next to you help you feel like you're not alone.
Well thank you anyways! It's not really making me scared of leaving for BMT or anything, and I know I have to go through with it so I'm trying to get used to the idea in advance. I just start crying and shaking in fear of it, not really even from the pain, so I don't want to do that and get embarrassed from it lol
What if we take the penicillin shot right before we go into BMT, like do they still need to give it to us or can I pass that shot and go onto the next one?? Cuz I really don’t want to take that “peanut butter shot”😂😂 I’d rather take the pills before going into BMT than having them stab a needle in my ass because I’m not allergic 😂😂😖
The funniest thing about the Penicillin shot: The day after getting the shot and doing PT and stretching and doing the knee overs and hearing you and your brother flight all moaning when you get on your right leg. I hated shots, I had to have a lot done cause I didn't keep up to date with my shots. But the Peanut butter shot was the worse. I would rather go in the Gas chamber 3 times over.
![Seungmin "그렇게, 천천히, 우리(As we are)" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kAzmhLHePqU/mqdefault.jpg)
They have a pill that's the non-allergenic alternative to the penicillin shot. You can only take it if you're allergic to penicillin
you have no idea how worried I got when you said penicillin!! If I stated I was mildly allergic to it, do I still get the shot?! I don't wanna die!! lol
Extremely allergic, this is reassuring.
WildBlueYonder They ran out of penicillin shots so they gave us pills
WildBlueYonder i was just going to ask that! My son is allergic to Amoxicillin/Penicillin drugs...last time he had it when he was young which he got hives!😣 So i told him that im sure that they will do something or watch him to make sure he dont die! Crossing fingers as he leaves on Dec 12th
Hawaii Island Dream Productions how did it go for him? Did they let him take the pill? Did he need proof?
I’m terrible with shots and blood work... I was told at MEPS to alert BMT nurses about my situation and to say I need to lay down. I hope I can get a chance to tell them
The one time my penicillin allergy comes in handy...
+Jeremiah Batista (JBwarrior) me too
me three! I was so worried when he said we needed to take the pb shot!
same lol
When do you report the hypersensitivity to cilins? Cause I really am :/
fuck all you
+Jeff Andrews you won't have to have any new shots if you have them up to date and on record.
Do you recall which shots they were? I'd rather get them done before going to BMT.
The shots are different for everyone, so I'd tell you what most people got, but it's different
I've been watching your videos for a little bit now, and i really appreciate the tips you give out. I go to Nashville MEPS Wednesday of next week, and I am super pumped!
How can I get over the fear?
Thank you. This is one of my nervous things although it's dumb.
On Monday, I'm going to go talk to an Air Force Recruiter. I'm excited and nervous of the outcome.
What are you going into?
Alexis Itzep Are you finished?
your videos are helping me relax my nervousness about BMT. thanks for that. any tips on how to get over being afraid of needles?
+Jasmine D Uhh lol that's just one that you'll have to toughen up for. I'd remember that everyone is doing it, and it's not just you. Also to try and relax and just zone out if you can. The nurses are pretty quick and friendly about it, and the shoulder shots don't hurt at all, it just feels like a puff of air
I can't do it
I have an extreme fear of needles and I go crazy
How do you turn in your medical records?
from my experience [not in bmt but with my physician] the tetanus shot was the one that hurt.
minor sting, but for some reason it had prolonged soreness at injection site.
I heard they dont so the peanutbutter anymore and switched to pills
My kid is there right now & got it (Sept 2020)
Fear of needles here.
Wild Blue Yonder Hey, I do not know if you-have seen Kyle Gott's new video about His frustrations goal-have you experienced anything similar yourself?
The peanutbutter shot sounds a lot like my birth control shot. It's thick like peanutbutter and hurts for days. But I'm allergic to penicillin so I don't have to worry about it.
Kat Mckoy whatbif yoyre allergic to it? Im really allergic to penecillin like we allergic
What if you're up to date with ALL your shots
Nice video, thank you for making this. May help the anxieties of many👍🏽
Can you get these shots before you ship out to basic training?
Is the anthrax vaccine needed ?
Why did u say death sentence
What if you pass out when your in line for the shots ???? What will happen ???
Leaving for bmt on the 3rd of december. No christmas, but totally worth it. Im doing military police
what if your allergic to penicillin? or amoxicillin? what do they do?
They have a pill form.
Very informative as usual! Good job.
How many vials of blood do they take?
+WildBlueYonder what happens if you don't want to get shots at all? And I was wondering I was thinking about joining but I have a small tattoo on the back of my neck of my zodiac sign, would that disqualify me from joining? Some people have said no but some people say yes. Some people have said its okay to have one on the back of your neck just not in the front above the collarbone where they could see it. I really want to join but I'm scared they might say no because of my tattoo. What do you think ???
+Courtney Chambers you can't join if you have any tattoos on your neck, scalp, back of the neck, ears lip, tongue, etc. I'm sure you can get it removed but the AF won't pay for it
What about if you have a milk allergy
So why would they do bloodwork? just wondering.
+Derek Peltier So they can identify your blood,and if your blood has disease or anything ,they can know, and they can treat you right away
more like disqualify your ass right away
+Derek Peltier So you if you have HIV they can remove you from the military before you start costing them money.
Does it count if you get the peanut butter shot like at your regular doctor before you actually go to bmt?
Do i have to get a peanut butter shot since im alergic to penocillen
What do u do after shots
What if your allergic to penicillin can you still join
Exemption info?
I didn't know I had a penicillin allergy when I processed through meps, I literally just found out and my ship date is around the corner. I don't have paperwork to prove it either, it happened as a baby when I was overseas. My recruiter is telling me to just tell the people at bootcamp that I can't take penicillin. Are they going to force me to take it? My mom is urging me to stay from penicillin
They ask who is allergic prior, just let them know when they ask.
How did it go?
I am planning on enlisting in the Air Force
But I am trying to find an Religious Vaccination exemption form
Because vaccines are against my religion so
How can I obtain a religious exemption form?
So do they draw blood at MEPS and bmt?
kylan nealy yup
This video should have been about whats in the shots, not about the pain of the needle which im more concirned about wha they are putting in my body. I know its the typical immunities for diseases but i also heard that they test things on you to see how you react to it which im fishy about
@Shinidoshi 😭😭😭 your still in the matrix my friend
The stuff that is actually inside of shots is a weakened form of the disease; too weak to even reproduce, but enough so that your body can develop an immunity, as well as some antivirals to help, nothing toxic.

Guaranteed Job contracts?
Oh alright. I want to go at some point. And what do you mean guaranteed job contracts?
usmilitary.about.com/cs/airforcejoin/f/faqafjobs.htm
this explained it to me.
Hey... My recruiter hasn't mention anything about me getting my records, so I just need a copy of my shot records and turn them?
+Kristopher Peeden You don't need them unless you want to turn them in
is this all done in one day?
I just got my ship date a couple hours ago!! i leave December 29, 2015. lol it sucks I leave before new years but at least I get christmas.
studpum Awesome, congrats :D thanks for watching
studpum You Leave on my birthday.. good luck ... ohh and one tip, do what you are told ..lol
+studpum How long were you in dep for before you got your ship date?
About a month lol my recruiter doesn't play around he's really quick. I met my recruiter for the first time and that day he scheduled me to go to Meps a week later for the ASVAB and physical and then within a month he booked me a job
+studpum i leave dec 29th 2 bro thats awesome 2 hear I'm coming from cali btw!
I have a non-immunization question, what are the rules when it comes to women wearing makeup in the military? I don't wear too much makeup anyway, just asking out of curiosity 🤔
Is it mandatory?
L K Yes, everyone in the flight has to get immunizations in case you’re ever shipped overseas and so you don’t infect other trainees. It’s safety protocol.
What if ur afraid of needles do they have another way u can do it?
+ismail “techboy700” ahmed Nope, you gotta do it
+ismail “techboy700” ahmed Ahahaha great joke.
i know im posting late but do they make you take any mandatory pills beside the one you take if youre allergic to penicillin? i have a thing with pills and i wanted to make sure
If you get these shots before BMT do you still have to get them there?
Jeff Andrews show your medical records when your there though
What if you get the Penicillin shot done before BMT?
+IMS Productions If it isn't outdated and if you turn in your records
Even if you aren't allergic to penicillin do you have the option to take the alternative pill?
No, sorry. You have to get the shot unless you're actually allergic
Dang
I remember this well. Our sister flight had to go first and my flight was just sitting there with our colored paper giggling at their expressions as they came back out and then it was our turn and believe me no one was smiling anymore when we had to get up xD

Okay.. I guess I just need to man up. Lol
+Mikayla Carmichael same here ugh......for the country
Hey wild blue love the videos and thank you so mutch for the preperation and info
I have a question about braces and dental care during BMT and active duty how does that work?
Oh yes.. the shots! Back in the 1980's they used the gun for shots. That hurts. Then after you had to do push ups....
Jeff Daugherty Yea that air gun was wicked but they used it so as to be able to administer multiple shots fast. Compared to today's tiny pin prick that air gun was indeed painful. I don't mind shots at all but that was no fun.
What if I'm allergic to penicillin???
+Nick Deckard You take a pill instead
+WildBlueYonder Why can't we all have the pill?!!! :'/ XD
Do we get the peanut butter shot if we already received it recently?
+Jakeright I believe if you provide personal medical records at MEPS, and you're up to date, then no, you won't have to get one.
When are you suppose to turn in your shot record? at MEPS? cause I don't recall them asking me for my shot record!
+CoCo F If you don't turn it in, it'll be okay. Your recruiter may have marked you so that you don't have to turn in your medical records, ask him/her what the case may be
Yes but that doesn't mean it's no longer disqualifying, it now means your hiding it
How can you not pass out from the peanut butter shot??
+Maestro Ninja That's a good question. Just relax yourself and space out. Think about ponies or something majestic
What is a peanut butter shot and what is it for? I've never hearted if it before
A "peanut butter" shot is an intramuscular shot of penicillin, injected into your buttocks during the 0 week of training at BMT
Question, I hate shots but I mean….that's life but I thought of it when you were discussing the peanut butter shot….what if you're allergic to penicillin? Will this disqualify you from entering or….? Also I have watch basically every video but I'm not sure if you have a video about what disqualifies you (you probably do, I'm just forgetting about it)
UPDATE: Kidding, just went down the comments and found out about the penicillin….sorry

Man all this technology & I can’t just take a bunch of pills? Shit. 😂
1. You have the option of not turning in your medical records?
2.Why do they require a penicillin shot? Is it because they are afraid of people having stds?
3. How is BMT for girls different from BMT for guys?
4. Do you have to stay with your flight 24/7 or do you get to meet the people from other flights?
+Laney AB 1. Yes2. Penicillin boosts your immune system and helps you fight off the many sicknesses that can be easily spread in the close-quarters living conditions of BMT3. BMT for girls is pretty much the same. You have to do your hair faster and worry about keeping your hair in regulations, unlike men. Women also have to fold bras in their clothing drawer.. That's about it4. You're with your flight 24/7, but sometimes you mix with other flights. For example, BEAST week, PT, while doing laundry if you're on laundry crew, and during church if you go
oooooooo ok
I’m just gonna be a passed out I’ll just give it to me then we don’t have to deal with my and my anxiety me and lucky for me I have all my vaccines I probably can’t even be in the Air force because my anxiety
I'm wanting to go in as a nurse, so I'm gonna make sure I'm the best damn shot-giver before I graduate nursing school so y'all can relax.
i have a couple questions!
dede47able okay.. lol
so i have a assault 4th and menacing charge as a juvenile when i was 16 from hitting my little brother smh, im now 19 will i get disqualified ?
dede47able I don't know, I'm sorry but I can't answer that for you. You'll have to contact your recruiter and see what they have to say about it. Chances are, it won't affect you majorly as if you had a 1st degree, or time in juvy, etc.
+WildBlueYonder alright thank you.
what happens if your allergic to penisillen
How long have you been in the Air Force for? I would be in the class of 2026 and want to join.
+Rosalyn Pieczynski Wow, great to hear your enthusiasm! I've been in the Air Force for more than a year and a half now.
+WildBlueYonder Cool! Did you go to the Academy in Colorado Springs?
I haven't gone to the Academy yet
Oh. +WildBlueYonder I hate to be rude, but, how old are you? I thought that you can only go when you graduate college. Sorry to be rude. Do you have an Instagram? I have questions and was wondering if you could answer them. Thanks.
Oh it's alright. I'm 20. And to attend the Air Force Academy, you don't need to go to college. The Air Force Academy IS a college, so when you graduate you earn your bachelors degree. And I don't have an instagram, but you can ask me questions here
you can pass out from the peanut butter shot????
+Maestro Ninja Yes, some people do get dizzy and feint. You will have two Airmen next to you to support you through the process and if you pass out they'll just hold you
Thank you
I'm allergic to Penicillin so I guess I'll be taking pills, do you know if they are tablet pills or capsule-like pills? (are those pills medication or antibiotics?)
Adriana B I'm almost positive they were tablets. And penicillin is an antibiotic, so I would assume that the pills are too
WildBlueYonder lol whoops yeah Idk why I thought they weren't antibiotics... I've had to take antibiotic pills and they just killed off everything in my gut (good and bad bacteria) I doubt I would be allowed to take probiotics if I needed to (they help to restore the good intestinal flora) but I guess I'll see what happens. The reason why I asked if they were tablets is because usually they're bitter and I find them to be a little more difficult to swallow versus capsule-like pills.
WildBlueYonder I'll manage, even if they're tablet pills and bitter lol
Lol okay
What if you're allergic to the allergic to the peanut butter shot the penicillin? Like I may need up in the er.
Hey WildBlue... I am 16 and planning on going into the Air Force. There is a few jobs that look awesome and few more id be okay with having. But the one Job I really want is Special Missions Aviation. I was just wondering how hard it is to obtain this job. I am fit and fairly smart. How high of a ASVAB score do you need is it? Is it a very open job?
I'm kinda in the same spot except I'm really looking into Space Systems operations.
TheIrradiatedGamer I believe it's a M60 or G57 for ASVAB and you have to pass the depth perception test during your medical.
***** Hey thanks for the information, I've heard of the program but never knew what it really was, I turn 17 in February so I'll definitely look into it.
TheIrradiatedGamer unfortunately it's not a guarantee that you'll get that one job. when you go to MEPS, you have to list six of them and whichever one comes up first, you are obligated to take it. That was actually my number one pick also but i had a "change of heart" and decided to test for EOD (I leave September 29th). Also, my recruiter said that that job doesn't come up extreemly often (maintenance jobs are always trying to get filled). it really all depends on the recruiter you get. good luck and i wish you the best of luck in getting the job you want. "fly-fight-win"
+Anythingcoolguy Wait so is Special Missions Aviation is hard to get? I know it isnt guaranteed but is it a quite open job and if I score high on my ASVAB is there a good chance of me getting it?
I shouldn't have watched this video
GrammarPolice Lol I'm sorry
Real shit
Right😂
Same bro...
I leave September 15th
But I'm allergic to penicillin..
What happens if you're allergic to penicillin ?
You'll just take alternative pills
So I'm getting 5 to six shots KMSL
first
WildBlueYonder no fair..haha
how many shoots in total are there?
it depends from person to person
second?
WildBlueYonder If You're caught up with all your shots before you get there, will you only have to get the peanut butter shot??
Hey WildBlueYonder I ship out to BMT in 4 days!! The only thing i'm honestly worried about is the PT. How much would you say someones PT scores improve by throughout basic?? My push-ups are at 30, sit-ups 40, and run time around 12 minutes. Pretty bad, right? o_o
I'm really not looking forward to the peanut butter shot...
Thomas Anderson Why not! It's great for your health! :D lol
Thank you very much on the insight I was freaking out about shots.lol
Do you have to swallow any pills?
"Shot me in the ass"😂😂😂
I'm crazy afraid of shots. I'm in the DEP now, I think the only shot I have up to date is my tetanus shot so I might have to get like 5 shots. If I went to the doctor now and got a couple of them before I go, would I have to get them again at Basic? I guess what I'm saying is could I like space them out now so it's not so many in one day?
Vault101Resident Honestly I don't know. It might be too late for it to be put on your record, so you might end up getting the same shot twice. I would ask your recruiter. And honestly, they're not THAT bad. The shock and awe of 0 week, with the change of environment and everything, toughens you up and get's you in the "just do it" mindset. Of course all of your brothers/sisters next to you help you feel like you're not alone.
Well thank you anyways! It's not really making me scared of leaving for BMT or anything, and I know I have to go through with it so I'm trying to get used to the idea in advance. I just start crying and shaking in fear of it, not really even from the pain, so I don't want to do that and get embarrassed from it lol
It'll be alright :P
Well thank you for taking the time to reply! Your videos are so helpful honestly. I've got 3 months until I leave so I'm watching all of them lol
\
Lol thanks for watching!
a peanut butter shot if it hurts like a Taser hell no and how is Taser training have that episode
This video scared me lol. I'm a super duper big baby when it comes to shots 😭
There's no need to be scared of shots
Sammmeee, im a huge baby with needles
What if we take the penicillin shot right before we go into BMT, like do they still need to give it to us or can I pass that shot and go onto the next one??
Cuz I really don’t want to take that “peanut butter shot”😂😂 I’d rather take the pills before going into BMT than having them stab a needle in my ass because I’m not allergic 😂😂😖
Not the big ole MD flagg❤
Even at 38 I'm not looking forward to this hahah
The funniest thing about the Penicillin shot:
The day after getting the shot and doing PT and stretching and doing the knee overs and hearing you and your brother flight all moaning when you get on your right leg.
I hated shots, I had to have a lot done cause I didn't keep up to date with my shots. But the Peanut butter shot was the worse. I would rather go in the Gas chamber 3 times over.
Well luckily for me I'm allergic to Penicillin.
you keep saying wussup soldiers at the start of the videos.....You mean Airmen, soldiers is Army dude.
Aren't we all soldiers in the overall theme of things?
