If you're stressed about boot camp or your PT test I highly suggest checking out Lindsey Beers at www.commit2fitpersonaltraining.com/ for help!

[@Pooyuck]

I hope your supervisor is aware of the great work you are doing with these videos. These videos are a great help to those joining the Air Force. Outstanding job!

[@xXxBlindsnowxXx]

I have 5 more days until I ship out and honestly hearing someone who isn't my dad or a recruiter telling me about Basic training is really comforting. I'm really bad at push ups (I can do like 3 at a time) but I'm really relived that it'll start out slow.

[@MD-oz9nu]

"if they're not weekly i apologize".... it's been 8 months miranda, come back!! i just binged watched all your videos and they've been beyond helpful. i wish you didn't stop making them! ):

[@gingerjones6950]

Please, Please, Please make more videos! You're great, and I would love more of a women's perspective!

[@Tai_Mai_Shu]

Ginger Jones Yes. It has been a year already. Hope all is well. 👍

[@soloistnina9889]

Ginger Jones she is awesome! And I love her mischievous dog ! 💞💞😭

[@DanielaGarcia-og5ms]

Please keep making videos! I love them and your personality! You could honestly probably make a video about anything and and I'd be willing to watch! Thank you for your service as well, my boyfriend is in the Army and I have nothing but love and respect for those in the military :)

[@gretelreese5844]

I’m leaving in just a few hours !!!!! :))) and i can only do 3-5 push ups :) haha

[@hannahkettwig4932]

How did that work for you?? I can barley do it

[@SanrioHorror]

Your pfp I can't 😢🥺

[@blvkbirdx3327]

Gretel Andrade 👀👀👀👀👀👀

[@admiredelta2740]

Ikr, I gotta get prepared >:D

[@admiredelta2740]

And like your pfp

[@stephenroberts2526]

I went to basic in August of 1999. I was lazy the last couple of months before shipping out. Don't do that. You will lose most of your pre-ship progress. One thing that helped me with PT was punishments, or TI Tools. My MTI would have me drop and do pushups. NOT at my pace, but he would say "UP!" and I would hold at that spot until "DOWN!" was communicated. Staying in the down position until instructed. Occaisonally, mid-rep, he would have me hold in-between up and down position. Some up/down instructions would be immediate, some would have a couple of seconds. The mid-reps would alternate. This will get you caught up quickly. I recommend doing a bit of this, starting with knee pushups, or against an elevated surface. It WORKS!

[@TheGlazedLady]

I leave for basic training on February 14th, 2017. my Valentine's day present is me getting to leave😂😂 yay. but these vids actually helped calm my nerves before I left. thank you😩😍

[@ablincoln2354]

I Am Baby Gurl good luck

[@JayBCray]

I hope all is well girly 🙆

[@brwngurledition6610]

I Am Baby Gurl omg same!

[@Mason-dq7cf]

How’d it go?

[@BobNchannel]

right on Miranda,,, this is bob from seattle 3702 bmts , 1984 1988 rock on air force,,,i subbed late airman

[@northwestcoastentertainmen977]

This was very helpful. Had a headache deciding on what to do. Thank you for your insight! I think the only thing that worries me is the immunization shots....so I think I should be good to go.

[@jeanb5099]

I just finished watching all your videos. I've nothing to do with the military and no interest in joining or anything but it's interesting to see how life for you in the military is. I hope you continue to upload videos. :)

[@ermagurd99]

this helps a lot. i am going to work on my fitness for a year or two while at college and try for bmt during the summer.

[@jamierogers5141]

thank you for posting this! i leave for BMT in less than a week & it really eases my mind!

[@allisonrose7043]

This video was such a huge help! i was terrified if i couldnt do pushups right away I would get in major trouble. thank you!

[@adalinacordero345]

I’m in AFJROTC and this is really helping me prepare because I’m over weight and trying so hard

[@sammlopez3370]

I literally can't do a single push up. That's what scares me the most :/

[@kotaroprince]

Direct message me ma'am.

[@val9170]

Samantha Lopez I'm in the same boat! I can't do a push-up

[@GraceLikeRain123]

SAME! 😩😩😩 I am freaking out!

[@lexytaylor6262]

Do what she suggests about the knee push ups, and working your way up! I just started doing it a week ago, and I already can go the required amount of push ups. I haven't had a gym class since 5th grade, and I'm almost 21. I am really out of shape, and her tips are helping me so much! My suggestion, watch her videos, and plank. I planned for as long as I could (my hands were turning blood red) and I'd drop until I was comfortable, and do it again. Helps you hold your body weight, and strengthen yourself for push ups! My fear is running. I don't have anywhere to run where I live.

[@lexytaylor6262]

Ni hao Tokyo I just saw all of the videos you have saved, and I'm going to subscribe to you so that I can access those! You have a really good list going :) find a friend to push you. My husband is a marine, so he pushes me, but my cousin is also enlisting, so he's training the same way I am. When I get the chance here soon, I'm going to be training with him, and building myself up

[@RashidaMyers]

I've been watching a lot of AF PT videos, and yours is one of my faves! Leaving in 2 weeks and I'm past the minimum, but I still try to get as much info as I can!

[@victoriamuncy2163]

Loved the video and Daisy! Hahaha I say YES to vlogs and the ending killed me, you too cute and funny girl!

[@cloiecovington4353]

You are a new inspiration of my life now you had given me types more than any youtuber ive seen in my past time but,i understand you are tough you can do anything that's the way an airman is suppose to be but everyone is different they don't have the same body structure as you do and what i mean by everyone i mean females it makes me feel bad and i know it makes them feel bad when you say oh theirs nothing to worry about that's easy no it's not it's alot harder than others

[@danielav3597]

You're video was sooo helpful! It actually got me excited to join. Of course I have been nervous about it but I know I can do it! Thank you Miranda, I look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@jennifergarley2968]

Thank you so much for this video. I am going to talk to a recruiter this week. I am so nervous because I am a mother and a wife so I am nervous about leaving them. Your videos are truly awesome.

[@sarameyers2453]

RNMreacts 1411 how was your conversation with the recruiter? I am a mother and wife also and I have the same concerns. Do you know if a 37 years old women can join the air force?

[@sarwit91]

Did you do it?

[@kklloyd12345]

I love your videos ! They've helped me so much so far! I leave for AF basic around the middle of June !

[@rosaramos4921]

Can you talk about Feminine hygiene. Thank you

[@shawnsavage5240]

@@ohf3594 lmao

[@aurasagbay5515]

Shipping out June 19, 2018, going back to running ASAP! Super helpful video, thank you so much!

[@camelbro]

Love your videos. Hope all is well. I ship in May of next year. Keep the positive attitude and I sure hope you get back to these when it makes sense for you. ☺️

[@katiehuskey5485]

I know this is odd but could you wear your PT clothes to bed so all you can you can do is get ready brush hair etc?

[@mirandagollnick]

Yes! That is actually what everyone does.

[@johndoee4511]

that depends on whether you have a rube for a dorm chief or not. Some flights get lucky and some get totalitarian shit bags who go out of their way to be a fucking try hard. Once you're in the operational none of that insane shit matters. You will sit in a cubicle most of the day, eat donuts and bitch about being over paid and under worked (if you aren't flightline)

[@lexytaylor6262]

Katie Huskey I was reading somebody's advice for woman going to air force basic training, and they suggested bringing a few pairs of black spandex shorts, and sleeping in them because it's like one less step to getting ready in the morning. You just throw your clothes over them and you're done.

[@cmscms123456]

You sound too lazy to go into the Air Force... Just stay in bed at your mom's house.

[@valerieknippel8011]

I leave for basic January 3rd, 2017.. Im so excited but really nervous!! I need to start running thats what im most worried about.

[@ooooooo8148]

[@MELmodelesque]

how long did it take for you to get a ship out date?

[@MidnaLunet112]

[@valerieknippel8011]

About 3 weeks!

[@andrewweaver1507]

[@skilosunxx4911]

[@craftwithkateyco1401]

[@kuilanirasmussen1793]

I am not joining the air Force but I love your videos.

[@Keithguinn97]

I just got out of BMT, at sheppard for tech school now. PT wasnt too bad, just hit those 1x3s as much as possible! the standards are higher here at tech school ughh.

[@wandasloan1942]

What is 1x3's? Thanks

[@laisssz.a8104]

Is there any changes this year 2019? Cant do push ups 😅

[@brunamota515]

Hey, could you make a video about how the level of education can affect our lives in the military, including levels of positions. Thanks!

[@RealTwinSnow]

I'm currently in the Army and I'm wondering did you know anything on prior service switching over to the Air Force? And what's the process to switch over?

[@Akeria2000]

I Thinking About Joining After High School I Graduate 2018 So I've Been Researching A Lot && Your Video Helps A Lot Thank You Very Much For Your Videos

[@laurinbless1144]

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@marlennelol4247]

dude this is gonna help me thank you so much !

[@kassandra3625]

I leave in a week. And I've been running... Kinda. I'm just scared that I won't pass the first running test they administer. My Dad, who was in the Army like a hundred years ago, told me that if I don't pass it I will be sent to fat camp. I'm stressing out. And I thought maybe you had some insight. Is the fat camp thing true??

[@thedazills1351]

Kassy Melendez howd you do?

[@jillm871]

Where are you? I need your inspiration. Come back.

[@matthewpittman9852]

Thank you for these videos. Could you do one to help give tips and tricks for the ASVAB?

[@thatsthamove]

I ships in two weeks, sounds easy enough. Wish me luck

[@EM-lz4rb]

Good luck! Thank you for your service.

[@jholladay3459]

[@summertutor8563]

How did you have enough time to do your hair, brush your teeth, wash your face, and get dressed in under 10 minutes?

[@KarizmaSpeaks]

Subscribe instantly b/c of the cool Latin music in the background

[@alexandramendez8138]

can you make a video on what to pack for BMT? or did you already make one or mention that in another video??

[@faithirismacilvaine2499]

Thank you for this video! :) very helpful!

[@molleyvap500]

Your videos are so helpful! I ship out July 17, 2017 and my recruiter only brings in male RAPers. I don't get to hear a females perspective! Thanks for your help!

[@Romero52099]

Seriously thank you so much for this video

[@curlywhirly8032]

This is gonna sound dumb, but in boot camp do girls have time to shave their legs?

[@valerienorman5668]

Could you make a video about your job & military pay?

[@vanisasengmany3973]

Hello you are so pretty!! How long do they make you do the burpees flutter kicks etc?

[@George-Cancel]

Taking my asvab in a week. Feeling confident, I know I'm going to do well. Wanted to join the Air Force ever since I was kid. Edit I think it's different for guys. Not sure .

[@HarrietShearsmith]

This was really helpful, I love it!

[@emperatrizmaria986]

In the first week only do u have to do the push up that they say? Or if u can do more u can do it?

[@emilyrooks8214]

When you're training is it usually just with girls or are the guys mixed in? Random thought lol

[@amaridogan2935]

Can you talk more about the Test

[@brelynnwilliams9984]

Big big question!!! What happens to your family during tech school? I have a husband and my 2 children... will I be able to go home to them after school or will I be in a dorm while I am there?

[@jcpenny2438]

I am a lot less anxious lol. Thank you.

[@tyragotbanks5042]

This was a great video.

[@Trash.baby.2004]

I can’t do push ups lol any suggestions to start? I’m 16 and wanna do AFJROTC and then join the AF.

[@domolicious7282]

OMG I'm trying to figure out how you guys ran and worked out with no food in your stomach? Did people get sick a lot? or am i over exaggerating lol

[@princesaa.negron8077]

I think its worse after eating

[@kitty_327]

I’m scared about the running 6 Laos non stop... what if I start to get tired can I slow down and walk or... what will happen if I do??? #STRESSINGOUT

[@SergeantFit]

Very nice video; good info. Thumbs-up!

[@ITSMAIAJENKINS]

what would you say about handling your period during basic training?

[@raquelfrank7574]

maia malanee I've read a lot about this and everyone says that there's so much stress and physical activity that most people don't get their periods

[@Endoe.McKronic]

How was it for older Females if you knew of any? Like 32-37? Did they give them shit? Or how about ruck marches or lifting heavy gear as a female?

[@disneynextgen8765]

Can you do a video on MEPS? Please and thank you 😊

[@kotaroprince]

Direct message me.

[@katmaccoll2761]

VLOGS. VLOGS VLOGS VLOGS VLOOGSSSSSSSSSSS,and you are pretty #eyebrowsonfleeeeeek #girls 😋

[@ligmamd641]

I really appreciate your videos. I wholeheartedly do. Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of becoming an American Airmen. Now that I'm 6 months away from High school graduation my dream is becoming more and more real with every week that passes by. I've been watching your videos for a couple of days now and I wanted to let you know that the fear I once had towards enlisting has turned into concrete courage! With that said I hope you can help me out with my question.. As of today I weigh 81kg which is 178.5 lbs. I have always struggled with my weight and I feel as if its impossible to lose it all in order to meet the weight I need to be because of my inconsistency. I'm 5'3" and my weigh has to be 155lbs. Do you have any suggestion that can help me lose 23lbs the right way to be ready for BMT?

[@castawaytheawesome857]

Thank you for your service

[@toriramirez-glancy6198]

I'm really digging your watch. What brand or type is it? :D

[@angelcastillo3100]

Do they do the same thing for the guys? Starting off in small increments? 10 the first week and stuff like that?

[@hakkimchheng2971]

Salute you Sergeant!

[@chrismiramontes3379]

Holy fuck, the running

[@lexigonzalez4722]

What kind of watch are you wearing? (Also can you take the same one to boot camp?) thanks!!!!

[@shante2018]

Do you have to have your hair in a bun for pt or is a ponytail okay?

[@ashleymoore9709]

Wow these are awesome tips❤️thanks babe! We’re you a runner 🏃‍♀️ prior to basic?

[@noellechildress3649]

I saw that you had a tattoo on your wrist and I was wanting to get one there however I'm wanting to join Air Force ROTC in college then join the Air Force and I was told that it wasn't allowed. So was I told wrong or did you get it after boot camp?

[@karuna7474]

So. Does the air force check our juvenile medical records. I was curious because I was diagnosed with ptsd but I don't have any symptoms of it anymore.

[@ryanmclean2000]

Navy know about them 10 count builders

[@ginaamundson442]

Was there any women in your flight who had issues with running a mile at the beginning of basic training?

[@fgo5716]

what is the regulation for instruction, TM, FM. for the TX

[@emiliebryan2706]

Are there ruck marches during bmt? I’m going from prior Army to Air Force and we went on ruck marches all the time, so I’m really happy not hearing about the Air Force doing them lol

[@sheenaburns3615]

Hey I’ll be leaving soon and what’s the amount of push ups and sit ups and so on I’ll have to do ? I’m 23 years old

[@olivas5707]

18-47 push ups 38-54 sit ups 16:22-10:23 run Hope this helps! Goodluck

[@paulinat2447]

Do you think you could make a video on your job?? I just got booked for Medical Material today and i'm leaving for bmt in January!! :)

[@kotaroprince]

Direct message me ma'am.

[@verbtense]

What if you have college credits but are unable to acquire your transcripts because of a financial aid overpayment hold?

[@Homegurllu516]

Brittany did you ever find out?

[@thompsonlatoya]

Same question, what happened ??

[@alexandriawells9658]

Where did you go?? We need more videos :(

[@alyssapearring6479]

will you be making more videos? your last was 11 months ago i believe.

[@musicallday6005]

I am going to 9th grade, what do you think I should do to REALLY prepare and be fine for pt btw I love you videos.

[@olivas5707]

You're just getting started in high school. Join a sport! it would be fun learn team work (if you already don't know how). But if you don't want to join a sports team, simply start working out. Your young so if you start now you will crush the pt. Goodluck!

[@musicallday6005]

Coleman Olivas thank you!!

[@charleenreyes-ruane3582]

Thanks for the tips! I leave in april 4! :)

[@KayMac18]

Doing sit-ups do your legs have to be at a certain angle?

[@kierragolden5318]

thank you that was very helpful

[@bloodwolfgurl]

I am very overweight, so I joined a Tae Kwon Do studio as well as have a personal trainer I meet with once every week for weight training, aside from going to the gym on my own. I am considering joining the Air Force in two years, with two years of martial arts training. In your opinion, do you think martial arts and weights will help me prepare for it?

[@R3DS1AYER]

that is completely overthinking it. it's not that hard

[@sallysparrow6121]

Is this the same as Air Force Academy? I looked up the requirements and they seem to want you in top physical condition right away.
