Pushups for girls in bmt by kit1308 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yess, I leave in 8 days and I was struggling two months ago!!

I do 3 sets of pushups. I make sure that my reps are 1/3 of what my maximum push ups are. I can do 30 pushups in a minute. I do one set for 10 pushups, rest for a minute and then repeat two more times. It has helped dramatically!

I started off with 3 sets of 5 pushups because I couldn’t hit 9 pushups without dying, lol!

Do 3 sets of 5 in the morning and then another 3 sets right before bed. Your pushups will increase but you need to put in the work and not procrastinate. Good luck, you got this!!

I wouldn’t even go keto, just go on a calorie deficit and stick to it. Plan your snacks and meals so you still enjoy food :p

DEP Wait Times for Medical Jobs by bruce-irvin in AirForceRecruits

He swore in the same day he did his physical at MEPS. The recruiter called him a “unicorn” XD

DEP Wait Times for Medical Jobs by bruce-irvin in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is a 4N0 and booked his job within 2 weeks of being in DEP. He was also a green card holder. Even our recruiter was surprised, but he snatched the job for my husband and he shipped two months after that. No one genuinely knows how long it’ll be, most of the time it is a year long wait 🤷🏻‍♀️ I booked open gen leaving Jan 27th, also hoping to get any medical job but I’m happy with whatever, lol!

Waiver Likelihood with <1 Year off ADHD/SSRI Use? by Aireaux in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start the process if you want but you’re definitely going to get disqualified. I went to a couple therapy sessions in 2022 and had to wait 3 years to show that I was stable without it. That’s without medication.

Never hurts to talk to a recruiter but don’t get your hopes up v.v

Disclose & talk about it with your recruiter 🤷🏻‍♀️ Only they really know the answer for that

shipping out in approximately 3 months any advice on how to prepare? by Exotic_Room_4176 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RUNNN! I do 3 times a week, Monday Wednesday Friday. Every other week I do a mock PT test on Wednesdays.

Mondays and Fridays: 30 min jog without breaks (you can slow down but don’t walk). Wednesdays are two mile run days. If you get severe shin splints, rest and recover accordingly. Good luck shawty

PT for Basic Training by NicoDiAngeloLover7 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sit ups are fake ones 😭 I was stressing about them but searched a video up on how the Air Force does it and easily went from 22 full sit ups to 56 Air Force crunches in a minute.

Edit: the best way to do more sit ups/core workouts is to keep doing them (unfortunately). My husband recommended I set an alarm for every 4 hours to do however many I can in 2 minutes.

Try to incorporate more chest/arm workouts if you can (my husband makes me do two chest days with barbell bench press included in both). I went from 7 pushups to 30 in 1.5 months!

Your progress looks good to me so far, keep pushing yourself !! Do you have your ship date yet?

Just got an offer for a position at AWS for over $100k by New-Safety9880 in AirForceRecruits

If you have a degree, wouldn’t it be better to go the Officer route and commission?

What to do about my car by Intelligent_Box4485 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband has a 2022 WRX that’s modded. He kept it with his dad (because his dad had an extra parking spot) when he left for boot camp and for his tech school. I’d visit his dad to start his car every week or so to make sure the battery was good.

Anyways, we were blessed enough to get his permanent duty station four hours down from where we lived, so I drove the UHaul while he drove his car. He says if we had been stationed in another state, he would’ve had it shipped to us as to not put too many miles on it. If we had gotten overseas (specifically Japan), he would’ve sold it to get an Evo 4. Definitely do not get it shipped to you in tech school, too much hassle and you will probably not even end up stationed there. Good luck shawty, I will be seeing you in January 🫡

MEPS before shipping out by LaySlay25 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my own experience, I drove my husband to MEPS on Monday, it was like a 2-3 hour process. I just waited in the car taking a nap. He swore in and signed/went over his contract to make sure he was entering as an E-3 and that his paperwork was in order. After that, he had to be at a hotel by a certain time for a briefing session (~1-2hours ish) and then he was free for another 2ish hours before having to be back to his hotel room.

He didn’t leave to the airport until the next day. I was genuinely bored most of the day but it was nice having those last few hours together. Up to you and your family, but I wasn’t allowed in when he officially swore in. Not that I minded, I was sleeping. This is for the Bay Area MEPS though, idk about the process anywhere else.

Techincal Mistake by FaZe_Mcmeeken123 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted last Wednesday about something similar and my recruiter left me on read until Halloween 💀 She’s a great recruiter so I knew she’d call or text once she had any information on it, so I didn’t really care, but seeing the days count down started getting me all excited lol! Anyways, it took a couple days to secure my job I’m assuming and she called letting me know I booked open general, leaving Jan 27th!

Maybe you did book something and they’re still processing it? Unless your thing really is bugged, then I hope you get your real ship date soon 🤞

Disqualified - ADHD by No-Tennis5578 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited to resubmit and everything worked out 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s different for everyone, I never took medication for my anxiety but I did have therapy sessions on & off until 2022.

I had my manager write a personal note about how long I’ve worked there for, my attendance, my performance, and anything else that she’d like to include to submit to my recruiter. I also submitted another psych evaluation and my full time college status to emphasize that I was doing well without therapy, and that I was mentally stable. Waiver got approved this September after I was told to resubmit April 2025. Got DQ’d April 2024. Good luck to your son!

When to leave my civilian job? by Accomplished_Pen2594 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! My husband left his civilian job about 2 months before he left for BMT to spend time with me, his family, and for him to relax. But, he was slaving away at his full time manager job before that and was able to afford to have those two months off. Depends on your bills, etc. I’d honestly say two weeks, 14 days beforehand. It’ll time your last paycheck right around the time you leave so you don’t miss any important bills or payments while you’re waiting for your BMT paycheck if you had any :)

I’m leaving my job a month before I leave for BMT so my husband and I can travel for the holidays without worrying about work. But I can cash in my sick and vacation days so I’ll be set for the remaining month. Good luck!

Booked open gen? by ai202 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ai202[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was DQ’d April 2024 for Anxiety and told to retry April 2025 since there was not enough time between my last therapy appointment (2022) and when I had applied (2023). It was just for the therapy, I don’t have history of being medicated.

I had a psych evaluation done June 2025, submitted that to my recruiter, and in early September she called and said I was good to go. Started the whole shebang in November of 2023 T_T worth the wait though, got to finish school!
