[@dejaeagovanre]

You should do a video about basic training graduation.. like how you felt during it, what you had to wear/if you were allowed to have any makeup and the process of it. Things like that

[@themilitarylifestylewithca5003]

it rained when I graduated so i wasnt able to wear my ASUs

I know this video is old, but I’ve been binge watching your KZbin videos for about 3 months now, when I’m not at work. And I’ve watched literally every single video that you have ever posted & you are so helpful & such an inspiration to me & I know soooo many other people. I’m in the process of joining the army, I currently scored too high on my asvab so I have to retake a confirmation test 🥴 but I just wanted to thank you because you are one of the main reasons why I’ve made my decision to join!!!

[@takova6341]

I’m so glad you touched on hair regulations. It is one of the hardest videos to find and it’s even better that you give suggestions and reasons why. Keep up the great work!

[@themilitarylifestylewithca5003]

thats all different now

[@kaylathompson1205]

Can you make a video of how to do the military bun with natural hair? I definitely need tips❤️love your videos

[@Mariescott3380]

I have an idea you can try: if you have a pair of socks you don't wear anymore, you can cut the toe part of the socks off and roll it into a sock donut. You will use this donut to make the bun. First thing first, make a ponytail as far as you can in the back of your head. Then you will take your sock donut and put it around the ponytail. Next take the hair of the ponytail and comb it over the donut until it is fully covered by the hair. Then secure the bun with a rubber band. And wrap the remaining hair around the bun and secure with hair pins. If you want a little style to it, you can French braid or twist the hair around the bun and secure with hair pins. And voila, you have a bun.

[@jasonkenner769]

You give such great advice for people who want to join the service.

[@missnaetv_]

I wore box braids to basic and had them in the whole time not problem still had my edges in my hair grew longer ! But they do have to be in regulations or they would make you take it down real quick

[@SweetsColourxx]

Shontanae Kasha one of the lucky ones lol

[@NachelleKayy]

How tiny did you get your box braids.

[@missnaetv_]

NACHELLE KAYY they were not small but not to big either they were the size of pixie braids but long enough to fit in a bun.

[@missnaetv_]

SweetsColour was very lucky srgt.

Nicely done

[@TheNotoriousMeiaa]

Question 🤨 so if women can wear “sewin” weave can you just have clip ins just to help your bun orrr na

[@SweetsColourxx]

Yes

[@lizevans4010]

I wish I could have seen your videos when I went in. But I had a little help as my older sister had gone just before me. And as weird as it is we were assigned to the same company, same platoon with the same Drill Sargent. At Fort Jackson, SC. Back in 1977. I was one of the last WAC'S that went through as they went to co-ed after our group.

[@rithe07]

You can't really bring a big tub of gel if you're going by plane right? Since it'll be bigger than 3.4 oz and definitely won't fit in a quart sized bag.

[@tavaunmiller1950]

I love this lady beautiful and informative

[@iam_domoo]

All your intros make me dance lmao that’s how we know it’s you

[@televisedrevolution8231]

You said that we have to buy gel but I'm worried about using gel because I used gel a long time ago and it made my hair fall out and my edges thin. Can we use something different? Also can we wear shower caps in the showers?

They’re forbidden. You’d have to cut them off before you join.

okay, so I can def put my hair back but I usually sweat the gel out, that's what happened at my rsp drills, anyway my hair did/does frizz up a little....would I or could I get smoked because of that? Like do they want it schlicked back like that?? they gotta understand yo, our types of hair don't lay down like that....anyway Iove your videos!!

[@kacandravlogs9188]

Taylor Payne you know honestly it all depends on the company your in I just got out my drill sergeant would smoke tf out of females if it looked like trash other companies had fucked up hair it all depends on your drills 🤷🏻‍♀️ here’s a tip when doing your bun buy a sock bun do your bun after you shower and use both gel and liquid hair spray . And there is now eco style gel in the px there everything to do your hair

[@poohbabygirllove101]

Great video 👍🏾 , You didn't mention anything about skincare. Are we allowed to bring our products like face wash, serums, moisturizers, etc.,? Will we have time to do it?

[@NANI-eu3eo]

I have a question, are you allowed to bring basic skincare products? like a face wash for acne prone skin, stuff like that.

[@macburger5026]

NANI !?!? you probably could but if you do, make sure you keep it to yourself just in case and not let it be known to the drill sergeants. the first drill sgts you'll see are when you first get to reception (after the first night or so there, reception will get to be *BRUTAL* . this is something noone is going to tell you about and you won't find out about until you get there) will have everyone dump "contraband" but they won't actually physically go through everyone's stuff.

Can you wear a fitbit watch to basic training? & also how would a female with a "Twa" (Tiny afro) hair style wear her hair..

To minimize the amount of stuff brought, can my one civilian outfit be the outfit I wear to reception?

Yes! You only need the outfit you are wearing!

[@quaeslayz840]

What about cutting your hair and doing starter dreads ?

[@Therealshantell]

I go to take my ASVAB on Wednesday any tips? They’re sending me to stay at some hotel for 2 days

[@morieragaucho972]

So they won't throw away the gel at reception if I bring it? I ship out in a month.

[@tayhart1446]

When they give us the list of stuff to buy from the PX and we already packed the same things before we left home, would we have to re buy everything because we didn’t get it from the PX? For example let’s say we packed enough sports bras from home that are in regulation, would we have to buy more sports bras because the ones we brought are from home and not the PX?

Katicia Joseph how did you study ? 😫 I took it last wens got a 24 I take it again October 22nd I really wanna join the army

[@katiciajoseph8056]

So I took a ton of practice test online to prepare for all of the parts of the test. For math there is no calculator so if you're not good with mental math or used to doing math by hand I would HIGHLY recommend practicing that before taking it again. Also, when I actually took the test i thought I was going to fail the mechanics part because on the practice test I feel like the questions are much harder than the real exam HOWEVER, I did graduate college and took physics 1 &2 so those two classes REALLY helped me a lot and i think is what helped me get a really high score on the ASVAB. However, like I said just do the practice test there's tons of them online and you should be fine. I studied for about two weeks straight and i got an 87 but I also am a college grad so certain things were very easy for me.

Sooo I am going into the army after high school in two years and I looked online and it has said that we were allowed to use our phones during certain times and that we can bring it. Is this true?

[@jasminecurrier7838]

Celina Sumler Phone privileges are entirely dependent on the unit and drill sgts. Some will and some won’t. But if you do get to use them it’s for a set time and usually after you phase up (red to white, white to blue) some have them every Sunday for a set amount of time, it really just depends on where you get sent to though. But you should bring it, because they’ll want you to call to let your family know you got there safely.

[@celinasumler1871]

jasmine currier so which camps do allow them? If you know.

[@jasminecurrier7838]

All of them allow them, it just depends on where you go as to how often you get to use them. And im not so sure how often each place will let you use them. I went to ft. leonard wood, and my platoon got to use ours twice, where as other platoons got to use them 3 or 4 times. There were other companys in our bn who got to use theirs every sunday, so it really just depends.
