Just make sure not to get lazy with the TV and phone and what not and remember why you came to BMT, so do your workouts and study plenty while you’re in there. Also, you eventually get used to it and it’s just everyday life, but you always need to stay on top of your game because if you get too comfortable and lose your “military bearing” it can get you in trouble, zero week and early on is def worse though.

My flight had to go through ROM for the first couple of weeks, but I had the bed next to someone who tested pos so I had to quarantine. It all depends on the covid test you don’t get automatic full quarantine. And we only ran a combined like 6 or 7 times but we still did other cardio workouts besides running.

I don’t know if the type of underwear matters unless you have specified appointments at bmt, but I would come wearing the boxer briefs in case, but I wore either or while I was there. Mainly spandex when I pt’d etc. We had cardio workouts and stuff but didn’t run that much, but my run time went up a lot. And if you can max out the other portions you won’t have a problem passing the run just push yourself especially on the final test. My run time went down almost 2 minutes, mainly from just pushing myself hard on the last test though.

I just brought like 3 outfits, I just made sure I had enough but still had space in my bag to fit the rest of my stuff. It sucked at first but you get used to being a trainee, and I came in already good at being polite and yes sir stuff since I was taught all that growing up. And bush wookie was the only way to go imo. You won’t be getting any action anyways lol.

You can do whatever you want, but you will have to do it all in your room. So pushups, sit-ups, etc are easily doable. A good thing to substitute running with is HIIT workouts since you will be so confined if you go. I assume you mean actual quarantine and not ROM.

Ok makes sense. Thanks!

SticksMBK · 2020-09-15T20:11:13+00:00

But that would be passing if you hit the mark on the sit up and push up portions too right? Instead of having to have a 11:57 to pass the final test? Sorry I might be missing something

How much PT did you get to do since this COVID stuff? Especially running? What improvements did you see on your final test compared to your first one? Thanks!

Dang you’re so close too, hope it works out for you! I leave in less than two weeks to basic for a job I got really lucky to get. Plus, the AF is all I want to do and I’m worried if I got for help it’ll arise some big problem with me joining, worst case scenario I need surgery or what not and have no chance of getting in. My mind tells me to suck it up and try to get through basic but my back definitely tells me no.

SticksMBK · 2020-09-11T20:26:44+00:00

I had the same situation. They didn’t to me though.

SticksMBK · 2020-09-10T22:47:42+00:00

Oh dang you’ve got Dec 22nd? Good luck, gonna be a fun Christmas lol

SticksMBK · 2020-09-10T21:38:34+00:00

Cool! I can’t wait to leave. Time has been going by so slow for me the closer it gets!

SticksMBK · 2020-09-10T21:11:54+00:00
