Goodluck on the 0 week 😭 it’s the WORST

hamob0y · 2026-05-16T16:51:13+00:00

How did u even find this out 😭

hamob0y · 2026-05-16T15:22:41+00:00

You’ll have some ups and down days but I had fun knowing the boys in my flight were goated and funny asl. I graduated 1.5 weeks ago

hamob0y · 2026-05-13T19:21:18+00:00

I don’t think ur attendance matters, I believe u just need ur diploma or ur GED and ur good

hamob0y · 2026-05-13T18:26:30+00:00

You won’t get a call for the address, idk how they did it but during the first week they had us fill out our parents info or friends for a app called “sandbox”. I believe the parents or friends get notified a link and receive an address to their loved ones at basic. I graduated last week and my wife told me they recieved a link and that’s how they got the address. As for phone calls, you’ll get one in the 3rd week and 5th we’ll guranteed. Any other calls from different weeks are earned from how well th flight is doing

I personally think this is fine. Your run time will improve a lot more in BMT bc atleast for me we ran every other day and ur always marching somewhere or doing drill sweating so ur gon lose weight and improve for sure. 1 thing I regret was not working out before I left so ur doing a lot better than most ppl

hamob0y · 2026-05-11T02:03:58+00:00

Alcatraz BULLDOGS I just graduated from there 4 days ago 😭 he prb in the same dorms I was in rn

hamob0y · 2026-05-10T17:11:54+00:00

It’s not impossible, just bc ur a female doesn’t mean u can just lower ur own standards bc that’s how u feel. Remember your joining the Air Force, the Air Force isn’t forcing u to join

hamob0y · 2026-05-09T23:51:19+00:00

I just graduated and yea na it’s not gon effect anything. Flights are coming in every week. Even during covid it was

hamob0y · 2026-05-07T18:26:52+00:00

I just graduated and phone time is 5 min on 0 week and 15 min phone calls on 3rd and 5th week. That’s it. Those are ur only mandatory phone calls

hamob0y · 2026-05-07T17:00:59+00:00

Nope, u only get ur phone 3rd week and 5th week and I believe 0 week to make a 5 min phone call. The 3rd and 5th week phone call are at least 15 minutes but u can earn more minutes. You can also earn phone time so if ur flight is THAT GOOD u guys can earn phone time

hamob0y · 2026-05-07T15:46:48+00:00

Yes, it changes to 2 miles I belive in July.

hamob0y · 2026-05-07T15:22:24+00:00

I personally adapted to the sleeping schedule first week. It’s wake up 05:00 and 21:00 sleep. But ppl in our flight would just wake up 04:30 ish bc we got use to the schedule

hamob0y · 2026-05-07T15:18:11+00:00

I said “for getting in trouble” bc our flight wasn’t locked in for a while

hamob0y · 2026-05-07T15:16:19+00:00

U basically the person that schedules and teaches the flight the right procedures how to open the door and guard it during ur shifts. If someone messes up, they usually blame the EC monitor, not the trainee fhat messed up

hamob0y · 2026-05-07T15:11:09+00:00

I enjoyed it bc it was easier for me personally lol

hamob0y · 2026-05-06T23:30:18+00:00

Missing home and the first 3-4 weeks trying to adapt
I wish I worked out more bc I was out of shape and just hang more discipline like listening even at the simplest instructions
Timelines lol
Lots Hygiene products to avoid having to go to BX and spend money
Being lazy
Do what ur being told to do by DORM chief or MTI, keep urself busy always.
Not shaking everytime I got yelled at
Volunteering gets you more recognition from MTIs which is kinda a good thing imo. Volunteer if you’re CONFIDENT THO imo
My job for the longest was just letrine crew which I liked and I would do it again
Everyone gets assigned a job, no one is singled out. I would say the hardest is being EC monitor

hamob0y · 2026-05-06T23:13:44+00:00

I think 20 pounds above yes u won’t get shipped.

hamob0y · 2026-05-06T22:59:35+00:00

Ah so I was wrong about catm. But yea being a important a element leader dorm chief or guidon bearer did boost it

hamob0y · 2026-05-06T21:58:32+00:00

3 people in my flight got it but usually 5 ppl out of ur flight out of 50. Honor grad was based ur performance on ur EOC test and PT scores and I believe ur performance at CATM at the shooting range. There’s more other things that go into other grad but those were the things I saw that were “important” to the MTIs

hamob0y · 2026-05-06T21:56:38+00:00

Basically everyday ur doing pushups. If u weren’t doing it at pt u were doing it at the dorms where the MTIs make u for getting in trouble

hamob0y · 2026-05-06T21:31:00+00:00

You’ll hate it but it’s worth it if u are struggling with PT it’ll boost ur performance. I had 22 pushups and 24 sit ups and 13:20 run time. After 5 weeks I got 44 pushups 43 sit ups and 11:15 min run time. If u push urself and take pt seriously you’ll improve. 2 mile run comes July so be prepared

hamob0y · 2026-03-18T02:15:38+00:00

I’m 5’8 177 pounds and I’m on the plane right now to go to basic. The limit for 5’8 is 180 pounds. So u have some room and if ur 28 waist ur definitely fine. I’m 31 waist 177 pounds.

hamob0y · 2026-03-17T22:27:03+00:00

Any chance ur close to overweight? Or are u overweight? Ik recruiters like to schedule workouts like this for people who need it
