BMT Packing Lists for males & females now on my Amazon page, requested by y’all! Hope this is helpful! Love you guys!! www.amazon.com/shop/brittanywillis
I'm literally writing down the stuff I need to pack as we speak and then this notification popped up. Thank you so much for the update! I leave to BMT in 8 days!
In November 2019, some MTIs allowed the Airmen to switch out the duffel bag with a rolling suitcase - if you are flying its a good idea. Has to be cleared with your MTI though. Brittany I remember when you did the vlog about your eyebrows ... wow look at them now! Perfect!
I'm meeting with a recruiter so that I'm able to leave after I graduate high school in June. I'm excited to join the Air Force and I have been binge-watching your videos since July of last year.
Just so you know ... July August at BMT are the HOTTEST MONTHS in Texas! But a summer graduation is wayyyyyy better than a cold and rainy one! Best of luck
Ms. Willis, I went to the 1st Marine Division NCO Academy in 1976 which was co-ed. There were 23 males and three females. That meant one male was going to be paired up with the odd female. Back then we wore baggy gym shorts. I was chosen to pair up with LCpl Lamb. On T-1 we did a PFT, during the sit-up event Lamb's shorts bunched up around her hips. In '76 there were no spandex shorts. She had on blue underwear. Just a thought.
Hello. You mentioned we don’t label our underwear or sports bras. I am curious how they are kept separate in the wash? Was there any theft of other girls nice sports bras or other items? Thank you in advance.
I’d say if you’re a guy take a few spandex compression shorts. Guys were required to wear them for “parts” issues. Lol. If you’re a female, you won’t need them. Not required.
So we had to label our Underwear as of 3 months ago, so maybe its been changed since then? Im not sure, But I also highly suggest labeling everything from personal experience.
hi brittany! thanks so much for the videos, about to leave in 7 days! kinda weird question about toiletries- are we allowed to bring generic travel-sized containers of products (like if I transfer some of my face wash into a label-less plastic bottle) or do they need to be like "official" stuff? I have super sensitive skin and so I have specific products that I want to bring but I don't want to risk them being thrown away if they're not allowed
Thank you for your helpful Air Force videos! When packing for BMT, did you also pack a separate suitcase for tech school that your family could bring to graduation? I’m in active duty so I know after BMT I’ll go straight off to tech school but they’re are a couple of things that I want to bring (hair straightener, full size bottles of shampoo and condition and skin care products) to tech school but I know it would be a waste of space to bring to BMT.
I didn’t bc you already have so much to carry and we couldn’t wear civilian clothes right away anyway. My mom mailed a box to me once I got to tech school!
Over packing helped me. I had a huge suitcase after graduation and was still able to carry everything. I am a small person so if I call carry my big green duffel and backpack on my person plus wheeling my suitcase, I'm sure you'll be ok!
I wore my own running shoes. Be prepared to absolutely wear them out. You just have to get them approved by your MTI after first clothing issue. I'm not sure what they look for, but no one in my flight was told they can not wear their own shoes.
Brittany Willis for the travel size items you brought with you like shampoo, body wash, facewash, hair stuff, and makeup, what sized bag did you keep all those little things in?? i’m not sure if i should put them all in a one gallon bag to save space in my duffle because i already filled up 3 quart sized bags since that was the size limit for the plane. need help! lol
@@amazingamy2561 I fit everything into a small travel size clear bag from walmart! Approximately 8.5inch×5.5inch×3.5inch They will give you a chance to go to the store fairly soon when you get there in case you need something!
Can you please do a video on how to do your hair in a bun? My daughter is in ROTC in high school and has hair a little longer than you, she has to use lots of hair pins because her hair is thick. Can you give advise I can pass on to her of how you do your hair and how you saw others do their hair?
Red Scorpio These are the items I would suggest purchasing! Pre-made donut: www.walmart.com/ip/Conair-Hair-Bun-Maker-System-1-ea/565172146 Bristle Hair Brush: www.walmart.com/ip/Hair-Brush-with-Dense-Bristles-Hair-Brushes-for-Women-Beard-Brushes-for-Men-Massage-Brush-Wooden-Handle-for-Thin-Natural-Soft-Fine-Hair/760757339 Hair Pins: www.walmart.com/ip/2-Pack-Conair-Hair-Pins-Black-100-CT/581782466 - Bobby pins - Hair ties - Hair gel - Hair spray - Side note: make sure these items match the color of your hair (black hair/black Bobby pin or blonde hair/blonde hair ties) I personally liked doing my hair when it was wet because my hair is very thick. However, many girls don’t do this. I used the bristle brush to smooth out my hair the way I’d like it and tie my hair into a ponytail. Then slide the donut onto the ponytail. Spread the hair evenly over the sock bun. Once evenly spread place a hair tie over the donut. The access hair that is stick out can be twisted and tucked in using the hair pins (the ones that look like a V) the hair pins hurt way less than the regular bobby pins. I would gel down the bun and access hair to make sure everything is in place and smooth. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/rCmoY4uEDiY/видео.html

We were allowed to have suitcases. A couple girls did bring them. I just personally wouldn’t recommend it.

Omg the real Brittany Willis am I dreaming

You are not supposed to use Q tips in your ears as they damage the delicate hairs, push the wax further in and can also damage the eardrums x
What I brought for marine boot camp:
Because you're not supposed to bring anything to marine boot, every branch is different
Hi! Big Fan! I really learn a lot from you!
I’m trying to join the Air Force, but I haven’t heard back from my recruiter 😩
You have to message them all the time and bug them do not wait for them! They need to know how bad you want to go
Excellent video. Definitely very good information.
Hello. You mentioned we don’t label our underwear or sports bras. I am curious how they are kept separate in the wash? Was there any theft of other girls nice sports bras or other items? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for this!! I leave March 17th :)
me too!
Yay! We have a week left!!
I’d say if you’re a guy take a few spandex compression shorts. Guys were required to wear them for “parts” issues. Lol. If you’re a female, you won’t need them. Not required.
I leave June 9
YOU GOT YOUR CAT!!!!
I did!!! :)
Where are the new videos 🤦♂️
So, what if I don't have the original documents such as a birth certificate or social security card? Am I automatically not allowed to join?
Leaving on May.
So we had to label our Underwear as of 3 months ago, so maybe its been changed since then? Im not sure, But I also highly suggest labeling everything from personal experience.
Can you bring some of your skin care items?
Yes, but you do have limited space and time
@@Brittanylynnlewis oh how about you can't do push ups when you join AF? Is that really a big problem?
yes, you have to be able to do at least 18 to pass BMT
In the original video you brought a note book, were you allowed to use it?
hi brittany! thanks so much for the videos, about to leave in 7 days! kinda weird question about toiletries- are we allowed to bring generic travel-sized containers of products (like if I transfer some of my face wash into a label-less plastic bottle) or do they need to be like "official" stuff? I have super sensitive skin and so I have specific products that I want to bring but I don't want to risk them being thrown away if they're not allowed
You can bring things in an unlabeled container! That's how I brought my lotion!
Do they let your bring your own sunscreen or moiturizer??
I have an odd question!! I ship out in 4 days :) what do you sleep in at BMT ? Do we bring pjs?
You wear PT gear! The first night I wore sweatpants and a tshirt and then after that we had our uniforms
Thank you for your helpful Air Force videos! When packing for BMT, did you also pack a separate suitcase for tech school that your family could bring to graduation? I’m in active duty so I know after BMT I’ll go straight off to tech school but they’re are a couple of things that I want to bring (hair straightener, full size bottles of shampoo and condition and skin care products) to tech school but I know it would be a waste of space to bring to BMT.
I didn’t bc you already have so much to carry and we couldn’t wear civilian clothes right away anyway. My mom mailed a box to me once I got to tech school!
@@Brittanylynnlewis ok! Sounds like a good idea, thank you so much ☺️
Good info Brittany. By the way, how did your meet and greet go?
Are you allowed to have your phone?
You can bring it but it gets locked up with the rest of civilian luggage.
Wait why don’t you label your sports bras or underwear? How do they not get lost when doing laundry or get back to you?
We used mesh laundry bags!
I leave next week and I’m worried I packed too much😭
Over packing helped me. I had a huge suitcase after graduation and was still able to carry everything. I am a small person so if I call carry my big green duffel and backpack on my person plus wheeling my suitcase, I'm sure you'll be ok!
Can we only wear plain black and grey underwear or can they be other solid/pattern colors?
We were allowed to wear any type/color!
Brittany Willis thank you! I ship out next week✈️😎
Idk if I missed it but no pads or tampons?
I brought tampons!
I leave March 24th!!!
Diego Torres I do too!
Diego Torres so do i
Yes thank you ! Also what kind of camera do you have ?
Sony a5100
Brittany Willis Thank you so much !❤️
How long before you apply for OCS?
Fuck should of joined the Air Force 😂
also, did you end up wearing your own running shoes?
I wore the issued running shoes until graduation weekend and then I wore mine!
I wore my own running shoes. Be prepared to absolutely wear them out. You just have to get them approved by your MTI after first clothing issue. I'm not sure what they look for, but no one in my flight was told they can not wear their own shoes.
