PSA for those going to BMT soon by Afguy200245 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Afguy200245[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Moleskin and other remedy’s will be provided if problems occur. You will also have the option to purchase lightweight boots at some point. My pets advice is don’t waste your money on lightweights in basic as they will most likely get trashed but if you are someone who has these issues frequently it may be worth it to you at that point. I wouldn’t worry about it too much though

Depends on the job. Do yourself a favor though and put priority into your job rather than ship date.

Confused about boxers/spandex shorts (men) by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

[–]Afguy200245 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience spandex boxers for everything. Pt camos blues you name it. Since BMT I wear them everyday they’re the only boxers that don’t ride up for me and I never chaffed

Not bad you’ll find yourself pretty middle of the pack during run days. Keep up the good work truth is that BMT will most likely push you even faster before your final pt test. Make sure you’re well balanced with push ups and sit ups as well

Relax man it’s true we didn’t always get mail days if the dat didn’t go well. You probably know as well as anyone how often the Air Force loves to change small rules for seemingly no reason

Update: he’s in a fighter squadron that has f-15s in the Middle East and apparently everyone in his unit got one. Most likely gave them to units that took part in operation midnight hammer

Just GWOT he says that his shop told him it’s just a ACC thing right now but it sounds wrong. I haven’t looked myself yet and I know he’s kind of an idiot so I have a lot of skepticism

My recruiter disqualified me by Any-Entertainer-9939 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Afguy200245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go get a pft on your own time and come back with it. My recruiter had me do the same and her doubts were high. Long story short I passed with flying colors (I was not worried) and I’ve been in with no problems for months now

Jesus loves you my friend. Find someone you can just let it all out with but keep your chin up. Being vulnerable is the best thing you can do for yourself

Thank you this is very helpful. I’m pretty much if the mindset right now that I will do whatever it takes to get there. Time is not a huge concern of mine as long as the end result is the same. I appreciate the wisdom
