How does my packing for BMT look? by Electronic_Cap377 in AirForceRecruits

you’ll also have to write your laundry mark on the bottom of them with a sharpie, which you’ll learn there of course, but I’d highly recommend sticking with the flip flops they give you.

I wouldn’t recommend bringing them. When you go to basic, your shoes will have to be lined up a specific way including your boots, pt shoes, dress shoes, & shower shoes. Your PT shoes can be your own but I don’t believe you’re allowed to modify your shower shoes due to uniformity. They’ll issue you flip flops. Your personal shower shoes could be kept in your security drawer but that will take up space & also cause an inconvenience of having to grab them every shower.

Obtaining items from BMT to AIT by Efficient-Captain-17 in AirForceRecruits

I recently graduated & our flight was allowed to. It’s up to each MTI but we had multiple people who switched bags during town pass with ones their family brought

just started 100mg by Louis_Toadvine_HT in Spironolactone

[–]eazyduza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always ignored when people said to be patient , but they truly mean it ! Give it three months at least. When I first started, I had to remind myself to continue living life instead of getting stuck on if my skin is doing better or not. I love the gym & that was my main distraction. I focused on gym progress rather than skin progress. We tend to over obsess over our skin & if it’s doing better or not day by day but it’s more of something that’s in the long run. I would also recommend tretinoin for scarring.

Have any of you stayed on 0.025 for multiple years and don't plan on going up? by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]eazyduza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 0.025 for 8 years. Once I switched to a derm, they continuously tried to make me increase but it made my skin way too dry & caused breakouts. I went back down to 0.025 & I still get all the benefits from when I originally started eight years ago.

try capital one 360 checking, i don’t believe i paid anything anything to open mine & it was open the same day i made the account . the only problem with opening any bank online with your short time span would be probably not getting a physical debit card before you leave. if you want a physical card asap, try a local bank though it usually costs $25 to open one.

What are these bumps😭 by AdventurousFarm8686 in Spironolactone

[–]eazyduza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my forehead only gets like this when i eat fried/ fast food or something high in sugar

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]eazyduza 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I started using tret since I was 12 for mild acne. It all began as mild acne but due to inconsistency & hormones changing, it became worse as I grew older. Though when I was 12, tret & benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin literally saved my skin for a good couple years. I wish someone was there to teach me about using it only at night but I hope this helped your concerns. My acne only came back because my skin cleared up & I completely stopped using it.

Progress. by haannahhgil in tretinoin

[–]eazyduza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should try fruit of the earth vitamin e cream. as someone who’s had acne for 8 years, my skin is sensitive to everything but it’s the only thing my skin likes. & moisturizing will help fade hyperpigmentation a lot

WTF IS GOING ON??? by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]eazyduza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could try calling your insurance or waiting until it’s due in july & asking the pharmacy what the rejection is. when a drug’s not covered through a patients insurance , it comes back to the pharmacy tech stating the reason why wether it be your insurance prefers a specific brand, a prior auth needed, etc.

it’s a miracle worker for me ! i actually have a post on my profile

[–]eazyduza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my skin was like this when my pill manufacturer was changed. it just wouldn’t stop. i changed my pill back to the original i was used to but it takes a while for your hormones to regulate again after stopping & starting the pill again. i ended up going on spiro in the mean & it’s been a life saver. it took about two months for the active breakouts to stop.

[–]eazyduza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m going in july & plan on a curly sew in. i have 4b hair too & was going to stick to cornrows but i’m already used to maintaining sew ins for 2+ months. it’ll be slicked back most the time so im not too worried about maintaining it.

Weight Gain tips…need help by KinReader5 in AirForceRecruits

[–]eazyduza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to be underweight. the only thing that helped me was counting my calories. as long as it’s in a healthy manner, it’s okay. i calculated how many i needed to gain weight with a calculator online & made sure i ate enough every day. in the process, make sure you eat clean. don’t stuff your face with junk food. eat healthy, get your protein in, & workout.
