BMT Tips and Tricks! / United States Air Force [ Collaboration ]

[@mactrak7997]

It was fun watching you guys describe BMT and hearing how it is now! I went through in 1980; some things are the same, and some I guess are different now. The squadron numbers were different, we were only there for six weeks or so. There were 2 TI's and one stayed with you all the first week. I do wish we could have trained like they do now; more emphasis on combat and so, but it was still a great experience! Thanks for sharing yours!

[@avirussell3499]

Here is a tip, if the majority of people have things squared away you may not be inspected on it. MTI's lock on to trouble areas that need attention.

[@ItsByko]

10/10 for the collaboration. I would definitely recommend getting people together like this more often to give advice about the beginning steps of the Air Force process. :)

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Koby Just thanks man!

[@Komodo_Killer]

Definitely liking the collabs it shows different people's perspectives on the subjects.

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Thank you! I appreciate this

[@trentonlumpkins2335]

I was chosen by my MTI to be a chow runner. I was scared at first, but it was actually very fun! They had me as chow runner for the first half of BMT then they had me train somebody else.

[@demitriemontuy7845]

I met Carlos the guy on the right when i went to talk with the recruiter last week here in AZ. Dude that's so cool. Love the videos man been a subscriber for a few days great stuff

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Demitrie Montuy thats awesome! Hes a super cool guy. Thanks for subscribing I appreciate it glad you enjoy!

[@HangBrain]

Great Video man. Really helps a lot. And 3 different perspectives is even better

[@Sk8Gnarley]

The Real Seth Pena thank you I appreciate that! Means a lot im glad I can help

[@laika_vt]

gonna miss you buddy! keep up the good work

[@jeredwebb7489]

is Arial gunner a good job, then get into Special missions Aviation. a good career choice still in delay trying to pick a job. want to retire in 20+

[@Sk8Gnarley]

I dont know if that is a good job I've never done it. Just gotta find something you like doing and try to get in touch with people who have done that job. Good luck!

[@jeredwebb7489]

+Sk8Gnarley thanks, and love the collaborations

[@girlsdanceforever23]

someone i know told me to volunteer, but every video i watch says to not 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Sk8Gnarley]

I wouldn’t recommend it unless you know exactly what detail you wanna do

[@intrepid5o397]

this is probably a weird question but im just curious so here we go... at bmt was there any guys that were chunky or fatter than everyone else? dont get me wrong i dont mean overweight or anything like that. cuz im a bigger dude and I ship in 20 days and im kinda nervous about getting left behind at BMT, if that makes sense?

[@Sk8Gnarley]

IntrepidSF in our flight we had a guy who couldnt even do 1 puch up on his pt test and he ended up graduating along side all of us. There were a few bigger people in my flight and the same for other flights, if you put in the work you will be just fine. Im not a fast runner and one thing at bmt I felt pressure from was running with peers because a lot of them were really fast and I always felt behind but you just have to learn how to move past that and focus on yourself and improving if that is the case ya know? Just be comfortable in your own skin, remember why you are there and that it is temporary and do whatever it takes to stay positive amongst others who are being negative. Good luck youll be fine!

[@intrepid5o397]

Sk8Gnarley hey man thanks for the reply... that is really reassuring to hear

[@jasmiesamaniego4505]

Intrepid5o how was BMT?

[@jleslie1337]

I leave in 10 days! Thanks for all the help love your videos

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Good luck! Thanks for watching! Let me know how everything goes!

[@jleslie1337]

Thanks so much, I will! Appreciate you man

[@danprado6393]

ship out Oct 30th!

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Dan Prado that's awesome good luck! Thats a perfect time to be at lackland

[@patrickgodoy6059]

What do you mean by " Disneyland and Alcatraz "? My son is in the 331st.

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Patrick Godoy yes just like Lucas said Disney land are the new dorms which the 331st is one of them, thats the wolfpack I believe. Alcatraz is the old dorms which is the 322nd and 324th

[@patrickgodoy6059]

Yes, the 331st is the Wolfpack. Would the 320 TRS be considered Alcatraz? Thanks guys. Oh btw, my son is in beast week this week.

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Patrick Godoy beast nice! He's probably sweating through his clothes, the 322nd and the 324th are the only operational Alcatraz dorms right now

[@Spaace07]

Ship tomorrow 😎, btw I'm not going open aptitude but do you know what it's like or how it works ?

[@Sk8Gnarley]

so basically you are gonna go through BMT and eventually at some point your flight will have a career appointment where you will go and talk to some people about what jobs you wanna do or something like that. Im pretty sure you submit a list while you are there and you dont find out what job you get until the last or 2nd to last week of training but thats about all I know. Good luck though! Make it count and just try to lay low, have a good time, and just stay as positive as you can dont let anyone drag you down!

[@iangooden2874]

Thanks for the in sight I appreciate it.

[@CleoraAleise]

You’re such a good guy

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Thank you!

[@rjm2037]

I've been using your videos a lot lately since I wanna go for a cyber job once I talk to the recruiter, so thank you! I have a weird question that maybe you could help me with. How did BAH work while you were in basic? I'm in the same boat and I'm not sure if my wife and I should open up a joint bank account or if it will just be mailed to her while I'm away. Thanks again man, keep uploading!

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Well for one the military never mails you a paycheck it is always direct deposit. You get your BAH when you graduate. When I graduated it happened to be a pay day and I got about a $4000 check. Thanks for the comment!! I appreciate you!

[@TheFailWins]

ayy 322. nice, i was in the 322 over a year ago

[@Sk8Gnarley]

kody its a kinda cool place lol lots of history

[@garrettpatterson1307]

Sounds like prison with the toilet paper bartering 😂 this video kind of made me more nervous for BMT 😫

[@garrettpatterson1307]

And people make shanks?! What the fuck lol

[@Sk8Gnarley]

People dont actually hurt each other on a regular basis that was just a one time thing at med hold/airmans holdover. The toilet paper thing wasn't so bad because baby wipes get the job done better anyways lol there is literally no need to be nervous for bmt though just do what they say, do the best you can and get out

[@Marc6172]

Can you make a video on Security +

[@Sk8Gnarley]

I will definitely do this after I pass! Im right in the middle of studying currently and I test July 19th

[@Marc6172]

Sk8Gnarley How'd you do on the test?

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Marc Kast i got a 780! Graduated and now im back home doing rap. Got a video coming out soon and ill make the sec+ video soon as well

[@Marc6172]

Sk8Gnarley Congrats man, I Ieave for BMT tomorrow !

[@iangooden2874]

Just counting down

[@josebahena3241]

So what's up with the PB shot.. I hear they still give it.. but I also hear it's only pills... know anything for current bmt?

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Jose Ricardo Bahena they have both lol, shots and pills we got pills you take them one every week, I hear the shot hurts though, a couple of my flight mates went later than the rest of us and got shots

[@PandoBandito]

That Daly fellow is pretty cute!

[@iangooden2874]

My ship date is October 3rd

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Thanks for the comments I appreciate those. Good luck at bmt and try to have some fun and relax before you ship out!

[@douglasgable429]

Great video

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Thank you that means a lot!

[@iangooden2874]

CASE thanks for the heads up

[@Sk8Gnarley]

ian gooden by the way his comments were all spam and what he said was very inaccurate he was just a troll

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa372]

I went from CoD tips n tricks to BMT tips n tricks

[@kameronheiser3551]

July 5

[@kameronheiser3551]

All of your videos have helped me and honestly made me less nervous for BMT, it's also great because most videos you find on KZbin are from a couple years ago and it's good to see input from someone this year

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Kameron Heiser thats why I really started uploading these and kept up with it because all the other videos arent as accurate now and mine wont be with time either but we gotta keep up with the times because the Air Force is always changing

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Kameron Heiser good luck at bmt!

[@Alanms2]

Ship August 29

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Alan good luck almost there!

[@DJSherwoodAesthetics]

it was cool till the end. but the end made yall sound like true 19-20 yr olds. always be proud to be serving. ive been in civilian life for 8 years with two kids and a wife. life with little pay, long hours, and shit insurance. i find it sad that you aren’t hardcore about being in 1% of the population to give life to serve. when you grow up... you’ll get it

[@19brittani]

the best advise about the military is to keep your mouth shut and your ears open... LISTEN then act...
