AIR FORCE BMT JOBS | BEST AND WORST TRAINEE JOBS AT AIR FORCE BASIC TRAINING!

[@cornwallacemcshitter8777]

MTIs: “WHY DID YOU EVEN JOIN THE AIR FORCE?!!!” Me: “I GOT LOST ON MY WAY TO COLLEGE SIR!”

[@AirmanNick]

Haha

[@Shotgun_Only]

More like “I’m on my way to college sir”

[@kodajoaquin6633]

you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

[@novaniccastro6381]

Cleaning toilets for the rest of BMT seems like the best one from all of these 🤣

[@justinledesma9633]

Don’t f up and you’ll be invisible. Easiest job is chrome crew and laundry crew.

[@brandonralphs9280]

Most people wouldn’t expect the chow hall to be the most stressful/scariest place in BMT but let me tell you, during that first week training you shit yourself every time you go into the cafeteria for your meals. It gets better and over time the MTI’s ease up on your flight though. By the end of your time at training you actually enjoy going to lunch and watching the zero week flights get smoked throughout their whole meal while you eat at peace lol. Good times

[@AirmanNick]

Haha exactly, I agree 100%. Good times indeed.

[@MelaniesFashionRoom]

My husband 4 years ago was laundry crew and working with the boys was the best job he could do their in his opinion because all of them worked together and help each other. He was in Disneyland. I went to BMT on March 2023 and also was laundry crew and it was my worst experience there. I guess between girls it's more deficult, at least my group. We ended up staying 4 girls because before, the other girls didn't want to work, they just wanted to lay around talking, making jokes, while we made all the job. They also left the clothes with stains and many times lost socks and bra of other girls, They also damaged some clothes because they just wanted to throw the clothes and leave fast. When we needed help, the other girls desappeared. Literally I cryed 2 times, I was so angry. And our machines were far from the dorms, while in Disneyland they were near. I also was chow runner and was so scared because at that time my english was not the best, but I did good . My friend was american and she got so nervous and started to cry or just stayed quiet and forgot the words and it was her worst experience.

[@rachellebrockhoeft7836]

Graduated from Keesler bmt on the 16th. I can confirm that shoe aligner is the best job. I had it my whole time at bmt aside from BEAST, where I was the weapons monitor. BEAST was two weeks for us.

[@AirmanNick]

Wow nice 2 weeks so was your bmt the normal 8.5 weeks?

[@rachellebrockhoeft7836]

@@AirmanNick No, our total time at bmt was 5.5 weeks. There were many unique challenges, but I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Latrine crew and Chow runner... fun times. Got yelled at by the IS on my last week for still being horrible at drill movements

[@AirmanNick]

Haha same here

Sir trainee Hendricks reports as ordered sir flight 772 dorm 2B2 is prepared to enter the dining facility from the east side...

[@lDUST0]

You got to mention weapons monitors! I was one during my way through BMT and I lived it! Its a lot of paperwork but was otherwise really easy

[@ddwchamp]

We used some different titles back in 81. I remember the worse job was Chow Runner & Latrine Queen/Urinal Colonel. I was the Dorm Guard Monitor (scheduled Dorm Guards) & Supply Monitor.

[@Redefine-Red]

This video gets a like because I didn’t know you got smoked in BMT until I seen this. Hell yes

[@joabsuarez7791]

0 week here quarantined at BMT right now. 13 of us volunteered for latrine crew, and 2 more were added by our MTIs. Its been smooth so far! Stairwell crew seems to be the least stressful. The chow runners and ec monitors in my flight were also given a second detail.

For quarantine where are you kept I’ve heard two different things hotels and tents which one is accurate

Do you think you can make a space force video? Haven't found much info on that, thx!

I do have one space force video on the channel maybe that will help you out a little, besides that I will probably make another sometime just don’t know when.

[@anthonygraetz4746]

I got chow runner purely based on be being ass at drill, my instructor noticed this and I was stuck doing it the whole time..

[@genewilkerson8528]

Only time we had an M16 was at the range. But then we wore greens not camo.

[@KareemSinnokrot2]

Why have I not seen you around goodfellow what the heck I was dorm chief at basic and honestly it was a lot of fun. Trying to get in one of these videos

Damn well forsure man, HMU maybe you can be in a video before I leave! Add me on IG Airman.Nick

[@curthenry9398]

I had the PC Pad, easy job, my reasonability ended at the edge of the pavement. I got let out of the barracks early in the morning and walked a grid on the pavement picking up any litter. Most mornings I found nothing to pick up and the TI left me alone.

[@Fra-Train]

DO NOT GET COMPLACENT AT BMT! I still remember it like yesterday. Flt 250, jesus christ... we were in the home stretch, we had already gotten our Airman's Coin, and 4 days before we left, they held a random dorm inspection... everything was tossed because 80% of our lockers were a mess. We thought we were home free. Our MTI came in on his day off just to smoke us. He was so disappointed that we pushed until 60 and he just stopped counting. Pretty sure he got Counseling from the Instructor Supervisor, for our fuck up, we felt like such a let down. That same day we jogged 2 miles around the track in OCP's, 80 push ups and 70 leg lifts with our boots... It was a shitty week but we came out with our heads high! TL;DR DO NOT GET COMPLACENT AT BMT!

[@dominusfons4455]

I'll take any duty while getting paid every month than be at home in my comfort zone doing close to nothing...not getting paid and relying on scholarship funds 😂

[@jasonbelter3536]

True, worst job is the chow runner, for the latrines we only used 2 toilets so it was less to clean,

[@plutosworld1990]

Do you get to choose the jobs ? Or do they just tell you what you get and you have to do it .

[@AirmanNick]

They let you put yourself out there and choose and volunteer if you don’t they will give you the job.

[@thesingularity5302]

Talk to each other more. It feels really weird when you’re just talking straight into the camera.

[@AirmanNick]

Thank you for the input!

[@Jungson-br4wi]

Hi, so I’m thinking of getting into air national guard. The reason I want to do this is because of college. The GI bill or whatever it’s called, is it worth it? Should I do it? And how do I get started in signing up. Should I talk to a recruiter first.

[@AirmanNick]

Yes 100% talk to a recruiter first and it’s defiantly worth it if you have no other way of paying for college.

[@conner6399]

Fuck Nat guard

[@bifflowman2000]

Very informative, thanks. I ship out in August. I didn’t know about the EC duty. Is there always somebody on duty, even during PT, class, and chow?

[@ispoebro1113]

How’d you like EC? Lol now verifying one white common access card, is there anyone with you? Please stand clear of the door.

[@FitnessKoko14]

Hey 👋🏾 so I’m glad I am came across your video, so a dorm chief I think 🤔 you mentioned the “oldest person” in flight ✈️ well when I joined this year in god will and his timing 💁🏽‍♀️I guess I will be the one ☝🏽 who will be old lol so I guess the question is should I raise my hand 🙋🏾‍♀️ as a volunteer or MTI would know I’m the oldest person who joined and put me as a dorm chief??? Just want to be prepare for BMT jobs/duties ✈️

[@AirmanNick]

It’s not a 100% forsure the oldest in the flight will be the dorm chief it is just very typical that the MTI will assign the oldest as the dorm chief. I would not volunteer for the position that is typically a job that the MTI will give out. If they allow trainees to stand up and volunteer for it go for it If that’s what you want.

[@FitnessKoko14]

@@AirmanNick oh 👌🏽 I got you, I just don’t want to do chow runner or bathroom 🚽 duties.

[@strumminandwrenchin9162]

Question as a USAF enlisted trainee awaiting to ship off to BMT, if we get “fired” from one of our BMT jobs, will that be held against us in a way that will prevent us from graduation, promotion etc?

[@jakeryangerdau5103]

Well looks like Im getting the worst job, I’ll be nearly 27 at BMT😂

[@averagejoe300]

Lol when you go? I’m 29 and leave Monday!

[@kentonconnor679]

Dorm chief isn’t always the oldest person. The MTI’s pick whomever seems to have the most leadership potential. I was dorm chief and I was nowhere close to the oldest. The oldest was 33, I am 24.

[@AirmanVision]

I'm 27 too! (and female) I am still waiting for my job and ship date

[@bifflowman2000]

I’m 33 and ship out on August 3. 😬

[@NBHRaven]

How old was your dorm chief(s)? I have a feeling that they may put me in that position as I’m 26 and may be 27 when I finally get to BMT

[@AirmanNick]

He was 39. We also had a 36 year old and a couple 26 year olds.

[@NBHRaven]

@@AirmanNick since I went through Army BCT 8 years ago part of me wants to avoid any leadership roles but the maturity in me wants one since I plan to get my degree and go the officer route after a couple years of enlistment

[@Devin1629]

So do you all get assigned to these jobs? Or can you pick. Id say bed/shoe aligner seems like a good move lol

[@Devin1629]

Oh okay I just saw you reply to this same question my bad ahha

[@AirmanNick]

You can choose them or get given them

[@mollyparkinsons24]

Normally you get chosen for Chow runner or latrine as a punishment and the rest is chosen amongst the flight itself. We had 7 chow runners that all were oicked simply for being bad at drill and screwing up.

[@TwattyWankers]

08/02/24 Dorm Chief is usually the oldest 😳 crap

Yes usually unless you get promoted or fired. But ours was 39.

[@rachellebrockhoeft7836]

Generally when you arrive at bmt, they're going to ask who is good at public speaking. That will be your first chow runner, and quite often that individual ends up being the dorm chief. You're welcome.
