Loved how this video was about a lot of different things and how detailed it was!
thanks girl!! :)
So I was bored watching videos and I stumbled across your channel. watching one of your videos which are pretty good I heard you mention a specific town. so I got curious and looked you up. Me and you graduated from the same high school years apart though. I also happen to be in the Air Force but I am active duty stationed away from home. You make some great informative videos. Keep it up.
Oh my gosh that is so cool!! When did you graduate??
Samantha Hill I graduated in 2008 and joined the Air Force not long after graduation.
You’re beautiful 😍 also love your room . Thanks for this video . I couldn’t do it. I’m too shy.
Thanks for the great video Samantha!
This was so helpful! Thanks girl. :) Thinking of going reserves.
annie_rish I’m reserve and I love it
Glad I could help!! Good luck!! :)
so helpful loved this!!❤️
thank you!! ❤️
Thank you soooo much!! This video was soooooo helpful ❤
I am so glad :)
This was very helpful! Thank you ✨✨
I absolutely love your videos!!!❤️ I was all set to go Active but I really want to go to school. Do you think it would be better if I finished college (I already started, I’m taking a break) while in the Reserves and then switching to active? Also what’s the pay difference with Active and Reserve?
Hello 👋 I am interested in joining the air national guard. I was wondering if the military pays for your apartment rent while your away at bmt and tech school? I still need to talk to a recruiter but I’m just trying to find as much info on my own as I can. Thanks!
Thank you!
Can you pick what college you want to attend??
I’m really looking into the AF, I contacted a recruiter so I’m crossing my fingers. Not sure if I want to do active or reserves but your channel helps a lot. I do have one question, what advice would you give about looking through the jobs? I really don’t know what I want to do and I’m not sure how to go about it. I want to know a few I’m interested in to take to the recruiter, but I get kinda lost looking through the jobs. Love your vids!! 💓
So whenever I was looking into jobs, I looked at the AF page and look thru all the different categories I was interested in and then made a list of the jobs I was interested in that were at my base! Then I just kinda did more research on each job and also got advice from my recruiter! that really helped me narrow down my job choices :)
I may not make videos if you have any questions though I’ll answer for the men’s side.
So how would you say you have changed mentally since you came back from BMT? Do you find yourself more motivated and self confident? Are there good habits that you picked up? Also, any negative changes?
Yes for sure!! I feel like I have grown up a lot as a person and I have become a lot more mature!
Love it
Love this video! Definitely never knew the difference between those!
thanks Bree!! ❤️
For how long did you sign for ?

YEE YEE
what score did you get on the ASVAB?
*BRUH you're doing Geospatial?? Can you talk more about that, I'm new here so I'm not if you've already talked about it, if so sorry. :) also, it seems like you don't regret anything? I'm currently looking into Air Guard, have my AA, and want to get my Bachelors and finish off my flight training! Thanks for the video, so interesting!! Would you recommend Aircrew jobs? I'm looking into Loadmaster, or SERE Specialist, and I want to go to jump school!* :)
I am hoping for Aerospace Medical Technician
Thats an awesome job!
I’ve been thinking about joining the military. Either army or Air Force I’m not sure yet. But I’ve been having trouble seeing what’s the best option for me. Reserves or active duty. I’m a single dad , my daughter is 3. And her mom lives in Michigan. I live in Texas. That’s far. Well I wouldn’t want to be away from my daughter a lot. So reserve may be the way to go. But I know the active duty personnel get better benefits such as housing allowances. I want the best for my daughter. But at the same time. I don’t want to be away from her so much. It’s hard !
The airforce allows your child to live with you on base if you do active duty. You can actually have your daughter live with you at tech school if your tech school is a while 6months-1year. I hope you figure it out for your daughter. Good luck.
jasmine Artis thank you !
I have the exact same 2 job choices and both positions are open. I am struggling with deciding between Aeromedical Tech and Intelligence. I spoke to both to see and I am still indecisive! Any advice? I always planned on pursing Medical one day but the Aeromedical is 2 years of training:/
aerospace med tech is only 5 months of tech school :) they are both great career fields, just depends on your interest!
Did it pay your full college tuition
so how does active work if youre still wanting to go to school? are people aware youre still wanting to go to school as well as be active or is that not typically common? im wanting to get away but still be active and go to school, I wasn't sure if it worked the best and was even possible or how it all worked for that.
it is possible but it very difficult just because you will still be working full time and that is the priority. I am going to be going to school full time while on active orders so people do it but its just a lot to manage!!
What do you say about relationships while in active??
I noticed you said that you got to start college right when you got back from tech school, did they not have you do OJT? I’m guard as well and I should be home in October and was wanting to start college spring semester 2020. Do you think I’ll be able to do that?
I did 4 months of OJT but I am an online college student so I was able to work and go to school! It just depends how long your OJT is
How did you talk to your parents about joining/ how did you convince them to let you join?
Macaroo13 It isn’t something you have to convince them to do tell them you are going to do it they will understand
I would just approach your parents and ask them there opinion about the Air Force and then tell them you are interested in joining! :)
Im waiting till im 20's out of college and then go w out my rents permissions
If you are in the National Guard and you decide a year or two into your four year contract that you want to go active, can you? Or do you have to wait until your four year contract is up?
For the Army National Guard is a lot easier for the Air National Guard it’s extremely difficult. Me and my brother are in the Army National Guard and we seen soldiers go active duty no problem. But the army is also a bigger branch. Where my sister is in the air national guard and is trying to go Active Duty Air Force from the Guard and she’s been waiting a year and a half and comes to a point where she accepts she won’t go active duty so she is likely going to stay in the guard. if your not in yet go Active Duty Air Force and then if you decide to go Air National Guard you can switch but going from guard to active duty in the Air Force is almost impossible just from what I seen what my sister is going through and what I heard about Airman in the reserves or guard trying to go active duty. It’s extremely competitive to go full time because there’s part time airman that are also applying for full time some might have the same mos.
Is the national guard part of the selective reserve of the ready reserve ?
Yes!!
Does having Crohn’s Disease disqualify you from joining?
did you wait a year to go to college? i want to do guard but i want to go to college in the fall and i haven’t talked to a recruiter at all
I did!! I will not be starting college until fall of 2018!
Are you usually putting your hair in a bun while it’s wet at bmt?
Typically yes because we did PT in the morning so we showered in the mornings but it might be different during the winter!
What base are you at?
I want to be a chef so I'm thinking about joining the air force. In tech school do people do things that they chose to do? Like in tech school would I be doing catering and stuff.
Joachim Oyalegan it’ll be under services
How fit should you be if you are thinking of joining?
you should be in good enough shape to pass a PT test or at least be working towards being able to pass a pt test!
So do you live on base in the reserve or guards or not? Can you choose?
You do not live on base!
Oh and just saying you are gorgeous!!!
I can’t seem to pass the ASVAB do you have any tips? :/
I would definitely get a study book!
how is the pay for being a Reserve ? is it based on your rank and how long you been in or .....
It is based on rank!!
I live Maryland rn and I want to go to college in Texas but if I wanted to join the guard csn I choose to go there and not Maryland?
Yes!! you would just have to coordinate that with a texas recruiter
Samantha Hill do I do that during tech school because Ik the process is long and there’s no way I’ll be able to be in Texas no since I’m a senior
Samantha how if I do reserves would I be able to transfer close to the Pentagon for a civilian job??? Thanks
are the 2 weeks annually overseas?
mine are at my home base, but I know it is different depending on what base you are at!! :)
I know a lot of people doing active duty and in college so
I plan on joining the AFNG after I graduate so I can go to school in San Antonio(ironically close to Base), but when you have to drill once a month is it at the base or no? i’m hoping not to have to travel once a month away from my college.
drill will be at whatever unit you enlist in. So if you enlist in the guard unit at lackland, that is where you will go.
How do you go active duty in the guard
you can go active guard reserve which means that you will work full time out at your base on title 10 orders for a certain amount of time!
Samantha Hill with what kind of jobs
MY WIFE.... SAMANTHA HILL... MISS YOU... MAHATMA GANDHIII.....
What if you already know what you want to do in life. Like I wanna be a firefighter outside of the military but I still want to be in the military
What kind of college are you going to?
I am going to be attending a 4 year university when I get home!
Do you have a chance of being deployed?
yes, whether you are guard or reserves there is still the possibility of getting deployed!
MY WIFE.... SAMANTHA HILL.... MISS YOU... MAHATMA GANDHIII...........
How old are you if you don’t mind me asking
19!
For the BMT pt what are the scores you need?
Ja'Da Meddley if you google it you should be able to find the requirements! :)
You have to do a minimum of 18 push ups, 38 sit ups, and I believe the run is somewhere between 14:00 - 16:00!
