MY AIR FORCE ENLISTMENT PROCESS: 3 MONTHS | EbonyJasmin

Hey loves! In this video I go in detail about the steps I took to enlist in the Air Force.

Please feel free to comment with any questions and/or concerns, or reach out to me directly. Enjoy!

I was a Coast Guard recruiter. You were an awesome applicant. Continued success in your Air Force career.

[@EbonyJasmin]

Thank you so much!

[@kaylabbones3281]

I’m seriously happy you talked about the DLAB test because my Recruiter noticed that I’ve taken honors Japanese in grade school and I scored pretty well on the ASVAB or PICAT( which is the online link you’re talking about). I told him I’ll look into the crypto linguist but my main goal is to do medical since I have 1 year left in nursing. You’re so informative and my MEPS is next week. It took me a while because of my High metabolism is a blessing and a curse... mine was acting like a curse for me because I finally reached the weight of 125lbs so it’s been a long time coming sis but we here now! Lol I appreciate you thank you!!

[@EbonyJasmin]

I’m glad my video was helpful to you sis! And wow that’s amazing, definitely look into the linguist career field if you can, but also medical stuff and your background is great too so either way you’ll be fine! I’m excited for you!

[@ronicaferreira2154]

Ok, but can we take a moment for all the gorgeousness 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@terelld9270]

Awesome video! Very good recollection of how the process goes. I haven't heard anyone reference those books before so I'll have to recommend them to my applicants! Keep up the great content! 👍

[@LordPhroz3nGhost]

Your skin is gorgeous

[@kendrag8814]

I have been waiting a year to enlist because I’m getting my tattoo removed. I can barely see it but my recruiter is being picky. He’s never checked up on me or contacted me since I met him last year. I always would have to contact him but he barely responds. Your recruiter sounds amazing! I think I need a different recruiter

[@EbonyJasmin]

A girl in my flight had to get neck tattoos removed, you could still see them though, it wasn't completely gone but just way less noticeable, you should definitely still be okay! And yeah my recruiter was great, it sounds like you need a different one. Don't hesitate to find someone else, they can really make or break your experience!

[@Sheryediy]

Your face is so nice looking. good info vid!

[@lucidvibration]

[@florencehaper4473]

@ebonyjasmin Im 17 and a senior in highschool and I was wondering if you could give me some advice about enlisting because I want to enlist but Im lowkey scared and don't know if I should enlist right after high school or wait until after high school.

[@EbonyJasmin]

Hey! Ultimately it’s up to you and what your plan is/what’s best in your situation. I personally think it’s very smart to enlist right after high school and put yourself ahead of the game, especially if you don’t know exactly what you want to do in college. You can set yourself up, still learn a skill, get your degree for free, save money, I think it’s a very smart choice.

[@Maliceking]

I'm made for languages. I'm trying to join the AF as well and I speak 5 languages and study 5 more. I really want to become a Cryptolinguist, but other Air Force KZbinrs say not to go to your recruiter only wanting one job. My question is: Does the Air Force really ever have too many linguists to the point where there are no jobs available? I don't want to seem picky or ungrateful to my recruiter, but language is my specialty and it would be a huge waste of time and talent for me to do anything else.

[@xlilz]

I’m currently trying for this job as well and my recruiter said linguists are one of the most in demand jobs, and that they “always need linguists” if that helps!

I have a degree but I don’t care. I am enlisting in the Air Force this year.

[@quagmire1130]

I want to join but I have a history with asthma and I was prescribed Zoloft as a teenager.. I’m conflicted because people are telling me to tell the recruiter/meps the truth but at the same I don’t wanna lie and get kicked out of BMT after my 2nd or 3rd week! I hear there are waivers I could sign but idk how that works

[@nikki1776]

Without the DLAB, how long is MEPS ? Basically I have my daughter ( single mom ) and I’m seeing how long my grandma would have to watch her . And MEPS where all of that physical exam happens is your local MEPS office ? Do they pick you up ?

[@EbonyJasmin]

MEPS was 2 days for me. And I left from my local recruiting office (they do offer rides if you need it) and my MEPS location was about an hour and a half away!

[@brooketayler5856]

Hi! I'm currently talking to my recruiter right now to start enlisting. I really want to be a linguist but I am a single mother. From your experience and knowledge of your job do you think it is wise to choose linguist while being a single parent. I would love your feedback since you're actually in and doing that job!

[@EbonyJasmin]

Hi love! From what I see, there are a number of people here at my tech school studying to be linguists who have kids/families, so it is definitely possible! I can ask around for my specific information on that and get back to you.

[@Kims_Magical_Adventure_24]

Did you have any problems with your family? How did they take the news or react to you enlisting in the military

[@EbonyJasmin]

I had a good amount of support in this decision from my family. I know it't not the same for every one, but you just have to remember why you're making the decision and why it's important to you. Because at the end of the day it's your life to live, not anyone else's ya know!

[@destinylong6134]

I am so late but I have a quick question. I see you have a nose piercing. I went on the the website and was confused. Coming in can you have a nose piercing or does it take time for them to approve it?

[@EbonyJasmin]

Hey girl, sorry for the late reply! So I’ve had my nose pierced long before I enlisted. You can’t wear it in basic training/in uniform/while on duty, but on your own time it’s perfectly fine. Hope this helps!

[@kaybee46]

I will most likely join the airforce; I want a security force job or something in law enforcement.

[@staticshotaop561]

Lol security jobs are the worst

[@EbonyJasmin]

Not that I’m biased or anything buuuuut, the AF is definitely the best branch lol. Good luck in your pursuits!

[@niania0819]

What were the websites or books you used to study for the ASVAB I’m trying to join?

I actually didn’t get a chance to study at all for the ASVAB so I’m not sure, but if you search on google I know some good options will come up!

[@lianaibanez467]

Hi, I know this is an older video, but I noticed you had a nose piercing... your allowed to have them in the military, or the air force ?

[@angelove1441]

You can have it but not in uniform so when she leaves to work she has to take it out. You can’t have it at all during BMT

[@morganhelmrich3141]

What did you do to prepare physically for BMT?

[@EbonyJasmin]

I started working on the things I knew they would test for in BMT, so running, push ups, and sit ups! I just started do them every day and adding on to it. But they’ll definitely get you where you need to be at BMT, so just prepare a little at least.

I'm not going to lie it was nice to hear your story bit not enough details lol

[@tera4603]

When can you go off base ? Like to shops and stuff ? And is there a leave where you can visit family or come back home ?

[@ballermane1755]

You get 30 days of paid vacation to visit family or whatever and when you not on duty you can go anywhere close to the base

[@EbonyJasmin]

In tech school there’s a phase program where you have to wait a certain number of days before getting specific freedoms back. Usually after the first 30 days you can start going off base. As far as in the operational Air Force, yes you get 30 days of PTO a year that can roll over up to 60!

Girrrl u a genius. I didn't know anything without refreshing my brain when I started looking at the asvab. Shiiit has my brain hurting. And the dlap sounds hard asz fuck even triple hard if u saying it's hard. It's weird with the weight requirements. I'm 4'11 and 130 pds. I'm like right at the limit. But damn yeah I'm in no way fat. They should def change the weight requirement.

[@EbonyJasmin]

Yes ma’am, the clear retainer will be your best friend! During BMT though I didn’t have the clear retainer yet, we actually got really creative with that kind of stuff. A cut bristle from a hard brush works really well and can’t be seen, but you didn’t hear it from me 😅

Arithmetic reasoning (math word problems) and math knowledge. So make sure you know your math formulas. And algebra. It's a pain in the ass you can't use a calculator. So when your trying to multiply or divide anything you have to do it the old school long way. We talking elementary Jr high and highschool! All that jazz. Good luck!

How did you study for the asvab? Did you study at all 😂
