So excited for you Makenna. I admit I cried. Wishing you only the best in this next step of your life. Kyle, it's a different world being a dependent, but for me it was a adventure of 24 years. Go Air Force!

[@lyssa4613]

Every graduation video I just cry. I just envision myself here one day, in person, hearing that same speech, receiving my pin and whatever else comes, and finally becoming an Airman. I remember watching Kyles videos some years back. So glad to see you here as well. We almost have the same story: we have that burning desire that just won’t allow us to stop thinking about the Air Force, despite others being not so encouraging. But I’m so glad that you listened to yourself and I am going to try again.

[@shinypinecone]

It sounds like you want to join, I myself am conserving it as well. I don't know your life circumstances, but I encourage you to actually join. I myself have thought about it for about 5 years, finally talking to a recruiter now!

I’ve been following you guys for over a year now. I love the journey and info, I appreciate all the work put into the content. CONGRATULATIONS MAKENNA!!! I’ve just turned 30 and am currently in DEP. 10 yrs ago I got to where it was time to swear into DEP but dropped everything for a girl.. Despite being older, I’ve decided to go for it again! Happy for her/y’all and I hope to be on that side soon.

Im glad you’re at it again after the shenanigans. I dropped college for a girl. And now the Air Force is seemingly a way back into school

That had to be the sweetest thing I've ever seen, watching you two see eachother after two months. Congrats to Airman Gott, I graduated BMT this year myself and loved it just like you did! Good luck at tech school and a tip for you: make sure you sign up to be a rope. You get experience in a leadership position, a guaranteed LOA (the good kind, not admonishment but appreciation), and a unique experience.

[@stephenash7018]

Are you joking about being a rope? Lol

Ropes are made fun of in my unit. (operational air force)

[@NA-xp2cr]

What happened?

[@brandonwarnock3871]

@@NA-xp2cr Kind of a long story. I've thought about making a video about it but haven't. Basically, in week 1 during the hearing tests, they pulled me to the side and didn't allow me to test. Told me they saw something in my ear that concerned them. Week 2, I was sent for an MRI. Then at the end of week 4, right before beast week, I was sent to Reed for a follow up with the doctor and they said they found a tumor in my ear. They also said apparently I had a bunch of scarring in my ear that was disqualifying. So then I went to med-hold for like another month or so then was sent home haha. Come to find out, after a few ENT appointments outside of the military, they said I never had a tumor in my ear.

[@qtpenguinnie]

@@brandonwarnock3871 can you go back and do it again??

[@brandonwarnock3871]

@@qtpenguinnie Not sure. I considered trying about a year after that all happened in 2018. But I remember they said the scarring in my ear was disqualifying so I'm not sure. At this point, I have new dreams and aspirations so I don't have a desire to go back and try again. As much as I wanted to have the experience of graduating and becoming an Airman, I think that dream has came and went. And I'm almost 30, although I know that's not a big deal.
