Lucky you all did have MTI like we did when I went through...that little problem would have been solved by doing pt tilk the walls condensate...you kids got it great...I should of waited till later to go.

[@SummerMonroe]

I know that’s right. It was such a crazy time but a great experience nonetheless, I’d say.

[@richardroberson3802]

I showed my son your video It's taking a lot of pressure off of him He thought but was going to be so much worse 😂 He knows it's not going to be super easy But at least now he sees that it's not as bad as he imagined

[@SummerMonroe]

Thank you! Nice to know that I can provide that information and relief for him :)

[@marvepaulo3148]

Can you please talk about the easy to hardest jobs in bmt and in the airforce ?

[@nicholeparentela465]

I’m a mother looking to enlist. For the phone calls… was it like your cell phone where you can FaceTime? It’s the only thing holding me back

[@SummerMonroe]

Yay!! You totally got this. The weeks will fly. Phone calls were not FaceTime but you can use your cell phone. My MTI authorized a FaceTime call the day we graduated because we didn’t get a normal graduation with friends and family to celebrate with. That was the only time though.

[@majoves293]

The medical portion during processing week, is it the same and as tedious as MEPS? Like with urine and blood tests, eye and hearing exams? Thank you for these helpful videos!!

[@SummerMonroe]

Hi! Not as tedious. You still have a UA, blood draw, and an eye exam. The eye exam was super brief. Lots of shots too! Thank you so much for watching. Subscribe if you haven’t already :)

[@denaaaya]

Do they make us do pull ups for BMT that’s all I’m worried about… or better question if you can’t do pull ups but still pass everything else with PT are you gonna fail or pass overall?

[@SummerMonroe]

No ma’am, they did not make us to pull ups. Only push-ups, sit-ups and the 1.5 mile run.

[@denaaaya]

Okay thank you, your videos are so helpful!

[@SummerMonroe]

@@denaaaya thank you! Feel free to hit me up with any other questions :)

Is there running everyday or do you only get to run for pt tests?

[@SummerMonroe]

Yes! There are run days outside of PT tests

[@anastasiamcdonald1885]

do they also give running shoes ?

[@heyimreck]

i ship out in a little over a month, how did you cope being away from your husband? anything that helped keep your mind off the seperation?

[@SummerMonroe]

Hiiii! Honestly your mind will be so focused on the BMT environment that the time will fly. The first couple of weeks are the hardest because you’re still adjusting but you will soon realize that it’s routine and it won’t seem so long at that point. I wrote him a lot of letters so that also helped lol I’m sure you’ll be fine! Just stay focused and work hard. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already :)

[@alyciadworsley]

Did they do dental exams at any point in BMT? I have a cavity in my tooth but there is no pain and I can chew with no problem but I have heard having cavities at BMT can get you disqualified, is that true? Also, if I can not meet the minimum for push ups on the first PT test will I get disqualified?

[@SummerMonroe]

They did not do a dental exam. They have BMT minimums for the first two tests. For the final, you do have to meet the Air Force standard for all components. The BMT minimum for the first test was 8 push-ups for < 30 years of age.

[@abbymortenson5757]

can you wear ponytails instead of buns during basic? i leave in 2 days

[@SummerMonroe]

Yes as long as your ponytail remains in proper guidelines. Congratulations :)

[@virginiasantellano6777]

When you get to use your phone for calls it has to be only when they permit right? Not like another day at night if you decided to call someone?

[@SummerMonroe]

Hello there! Yes, the phone calls are scheduled.

[@virginiasantellano6777]

@@SummerMonroe for the push up and sit ups it's by minute right like the pt evaluations?

[@SummerMonroe]

@@virginiasantellano6777 yes, you have 1 minute to complete as many repetitions as possible both push-ups and sit-ups.

[@bpc4him273]

Im going to be shipping out in a couple months for bmt and was just curious is to when and what methods they use to check vision. Im on the border for being disqualified for my job and id hate to be DQ'd at basic for vision. Does a doctor look into your eye with a machine or do they just ask you to read lines? Thamks in advance! Great video btw!

[@SummerMonroe]

Hi! No worries! At MEPS, they did look at your eyes as you read lines using a Phoroptor. At BMT, they just have you cover one eye and read the lines. Quick and simple! Good luck

[@monicaesparza3968]

how did you get ready before bmt. physical wise ?

[@SummerMonroe]

I ran quite a bit beforehand. I did some sit-ups before as well; however, as far as push-ups go, pyramid push-ups during BMT are key. If you would like to start doing them before BMT, that's even better but those will get you right as long as you push yourself during PT sessions when you get to BMT for the push-up requirement.
