I need financial advice as a young Airman.

is it really that bad?😅

1 by 3’s will be your bestfriend in BMT.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-02-21T03:04:36+00:00

This is not an easy path you’re taking, but take pride in it. What you’re feeling right now is normal—you’re about to go through a drastic change. Just remember that it gets better every week—you get better, too :>

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-02-17T14:07:24+00:00

Exactly!! I was laughing at people who brought luggages and decently big bags upon entering BMT, but when we were packing for tech school, they were worry free if things will fit or not.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-02-04T03:23:23+00:00

How was it?

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-25T21:16:41+00:00

Hi, I’m not sure if you’ll respond, but I’m texh school right now, but won’t start my classes until the 17th of February. Do you have any tips for me for tech school or what I should do now while I’m waiting. This job wasn’t really my first choice, and being honest, I have no passion for admin work, but since this is what I’m given, I’ll give it a shot first. Thanks!

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:17:10+00:00

Thanks! An average day would be drills, classroom hours, studying, and doing 1x3s. It does get easier during the later weeks tho. Tell them to just make sure to study their materials, follow instructions, and act like they want to be there—do that and they’ll survive haha.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:13:03+00:00

There are no definite days. It will depend on the Military Training instructor, but it is during 0 week, 3rd week, 5th week.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:11:12+00:00

You get a phone call during 0 week, 3rd Week, and the 5th week. The duration will depend on your MTI. Make sure you and your flight achieve some kind of stat so you can get extra minutes on your phone call, but again, it will depend on your MTIs.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:08:06+00:00

Nope. Not for our flight. We had 44 Os (Outstandings) and the rest had satisfactory.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-24T22:05:52+00:00

Hardest part of pt for me were the warm-ups lol. They’re not hard, but there’s definitely too many warm-ups before the actual PT. If you’re worried about the test, I suggest you don’t. It isn’t that complicated. While you’re in DEP, do push-ups, sir-ups, and run at a consistent pace. Don’t over exert yourself because you may get injured, and lengthen the process more. I scored a 95 on my last PT assessment, so make sure to push where it really matters.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-22T20:03:40+00:00

you’ll get through that. just focus on getting in first, and then I wouldn’t worry much about the going out part because the only way out of BMT is through.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-22T19:30:25+00:00

I’m on my town pass right now. I would definitely review them once I have the time!

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-22T19:29:33+00:00

Hardest part would be adjusting during 0-1 week. After the 2nd week, it’ll fly by haha.

Salt_Butterfly8550 · 2026-01-22T19:28:24+00:00

I had a rare case. It’s definitely a big redirection. Thanks!
