No your not missing anything. The Air Force is different,they always have been.god bless them they got it rough, not like when I was in the marine corps. Haha God bless the USMC
I'm in the Army. I haven't deployed yet. But I know lots of people who have. To put this into perspective, in the Air Force you are deployed for what, six months maximum? Vs a *minimum of nine months* in the Army. Everyone says that in the Army you are working your ass off in manual labor in that weather which is the worlds hottest. Then there's the fact that we have to bring our infantry gear, which is really burdensome as it is. Everyone in the Army gets issued a *LOT* of infantry gear regardless of their MOS because it is, well, the Army (it would be the same for Marines). In short, what Keren Joy is showing may not be the best thing but it is nowhere near as much bull friggin crap the Army goes through. Anyone out there reading my comment who is not in the military but is considering joining, *please check the Air Force out if possible, please don't just jump into the Army (or Marines) and make the same mistakes that I and so many other people made* ....
mac burger the Air Force depending on the job can be 4 months to 1 year for a deployment. And I see what you’re saying about the army but I work and transport a lot of army guys on this deployment and quite a few of them enjoy it. And the army folks my section works hand in hand with actually have less work hours and are more lax than us. So I think it really does depend on the job as well.
I'm glad the first couple weeks have been good so far! I hope they continue to be this good and this deployment gives you some good experiences and memories :)
Are u serious??? For us living in the US Navy ship this is a HOTEL!!! For real!! You sleep with 20 to 50 girls in one room/berthing for 4 to 9 months deployment!!!
Edlin Kirk idk how I’d deal with that, too many girls in one room is horrible! But the deployment’s great! Better than what I expected so it’s not bad at all
@@KerenJoy what's your job by the way? I'm watching some of air force videos because I'm on the process of transferring to the US Air Force soon!! Ur video is very helpful :)
Edlin Kirk my job is air transportation. I deal with cargo and passengers. But that’s awesome! You have any idea what kinda job you want in the Air Force?
Yo! Dorms. Wow Al Dhafra has come along way. I was deployed there when it was bare base and in development. We stayed in tents. But it was my favorite place that I was deployed.
Hi! I just watched your video. Thank you so much for this post. It’s been so helpful. There aren’t a lot of videos from a females perspective, so thank you again! I was wondering if you’d recommend the BMT duffle bag vs. a suit case? Seems like it’d be easier to haul the duffle bag on the shoulders than try and roll the suit case on the rocks. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!
We lived in a gp/medium for 6 weeks, then did laundry in garbage cans. We had M/F tents with bladers for water to shower. We slept on military cots. What a great 6 weeks in Egypt.
I wish the doggone latrines were in the barracks building. I hate having to get dressed to go pee in the middle of the night, it's almost the same everywhere I been to.
I was US Navy Customs - Quebec Battalion in 2006. I was at Camp NAVISTAR, Ali Al Salem (ROC), and AJ during my tour there and loved it. I really miss my 6-man tent at Camp NAVISTAR.
Could you please do a video on all the equipment you have (uniforms/outfits and extras). Would love to see an Air Force versioin. And also, how long have you been active duty before you were deployed? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
Dude I was actually out there with you. I remember seeing you killing it in the gym on the regular. Its crazy that I stumbled onto your channel. I'm also Air Trans but I was QRT while out there. Don't take this wrong but I actually kinda assumed you were with the 44th guys from Guam. Great video!
Was there in 03. Looks pretty much the same except we had old green tents instead of solid wall dorms. We did have AC though, so there's that. Walking half a mile in the night to pee did suck, which is why most guys just used a bottle and disposed of it in the morning. Girls don't really have that luxury though. :)
LOVED LOVED LOVED YOUR VIDEO!!! Besides being attractive and your voice sounding like an ASMR video😀, You stayed on point and hit some key points about deployment. All the while, with a upbeat and positive mentality, which is crucial for the military work! I salute you.
Hey Karen! Great video! Since it has been a year that you've posted this, are you able to say where exactly this was? I'm deploying soon and interested in what it looks like where I'm going
Do you mean to tell me that you actually walked to the latrine, especially in the middle of the night, and didn't keep a plastic container on-hand to pee into? A Rubbermaid mixing bottle worked best, and could be bought at the BX/PX on base.
Hmmm interesting. I've seen a couple of videos were living situations are similar. My question is: Are officers is the same living conditions when deployed or is this only for enlisted. Excuse my lack of knowledge, I would just like to know.
I thought No one was Allowed to film at a military base in the late 1980s when I was at the N.A.S ALAMEDA Naval Air Station in Alameda California no one was allowed to take pictures or videos on the base without going through the chain of command to get permission a lot of things have changed since then I think
@@KerenJoy curious, I'm researching bases I could go to and Dover AFB is a choice. On a scale of 1-5 how diverse are the attractions around the base (entertainment, sites to see, theme parks, go Karts, etc.) Would there be enough activities to keep me busy off duty?
cup kaitlyn imma be honest and say that I haven’t played as much as I would’ve wanted 😭😭😭 hopefully when I get home I’ll be able to sit and play. But I didn’t know they were coming out with a DLC!
I swear we probably have the best military installations compared to other countries. Obviously, you shouldn't compare the living conditions at home to your deployment site.
What is there to do on base? When I was on the Air Force website they said they had a lot of great facilities and things to do like basketball and on base stores, is that true??
Looks ok. My questions are if soilders can have a cell phone in Bagram, can they get free calls to family and friends, can they have access to their banks like to get their money out if they needed. Is everything like toiletries shampoo provided to them? How about care packages? Is that free for them? Is care package affordable? Can they spend time with their boyfriend or girlfriend there? Sorry, I have lots of questions. I need to know for a reason. Thank you so much!!
Hope you enjoyed Kuwait. I deployed to Qatar in 2015 and to Afghanistan in 2019. I enjoyed all my deployments and would recommend all who serve to take every chance to deploy. They're great experiences and they are great opportunities to meet new people and make lifetime connections. I was in Materiel Management as well. Sup Sup, Damn Right.
fellow supply troop just got a TDY i’m a A1C but our squadron legit never deploys or TDY because were SCOS if you know you know out at langley enterprise not LRS going to mildenhall then incirlik however u spell it then nellis creech and mt home then minot grand folks malstrom only A1C going out of 34 people 😂
It's not at all. Got back a few months ago. Tent city or duck tape windows and waking up with sand all over you and all upir stuff. AC/Power went out all the time
GEAC_PETITION-MAN-STAN you have free time to yourself. But I choose to prioritize my videos and the gym. As far as a wrestling team? I’m not too sure. You would have to look that up, but I know they have sports teams for sure
If the Air Force dorms are that crappy. Imagine what the other branches live with. Army must give their people a cup and a stick and say go live in the woods.
Hey Karen would you recommend security forces because I would want to enlist but other than that I don’t know what I would do, maybe bomb people, but my ultimate goal is to maybe become an officer and pilot. Because I want to be a part of the combat and I’m guessing you’ve never been in combat
JFallacy I agree! I work in the passenger terminal here and I hear a lot of other people’s experiences on other bases so I know how bad some people have it or how much better they do
