My First Air Force Deployment (Day in the Life) 

Young man, please make a career from your Service. I’m a 32 year retired E-9 aircraft maintenance. Truly enjoyed all my deployments and growing up with everyone. Deployments are great growing experience. Y’all stay safe and God Bless for serving. I’m 65 and would do it all over again. Go Air Force……

Have fun. I got a lot of school done while I was on deployments and got in some of the best shape of my life. Take advantage of the opportunities that you will not get stateside. I was enlisted aircrew, now a pilot. Did 6 years enlisted and commissioned through OTS in 2022. Keep up doing these videos.

I assume your job is RF Transmissions? Great video Kev. Appreciate!

If it’s not sensitive, may I just ask which country it is (I know you guys cant say anything about locations, but it has an aspect which narrows it down to very few countries)

love the part where you said you'll get purpose and fulfillment from just being in the mindset of I'm helping someone. as a man, that's real af and currently looking for purpose rn

LMAOOOOOO christ.....I went there for R&R....this dude is stationed there?!

I ship out to basic February 13th! watching your videos has def kept me motivated bro!

Man this takes me back a minute. Deployed life is something else and it definitively varies per location and leadership. I deployed 7 of my 8 years in the Air Force doing 6 in and 6 out. Missed a lot of birthdays and Anniversaries but gained a world of knowledge. We use to work 6 days 12 hrs shifts and that at times gets under your skin specially when the work is hard and you literally have to grind it out. The friendships you forge will last a lifetime. Love the positive mind set, dont let the deployment take it away. Seems like negativity surrounds most deployments I was involved. Keep at it brother and stay safe out there.

Always appreciate your content my guy, stay safe out there! 🤙🏿

Thanks for your service. Be safe Nephew.

Nice video man! you make me want to sign up for the Air Force, God Bless you and your family and Thank you for serving this beautiful country!

Bro I didn't see a SINGLE woman in this video... is it like that?

I appreciate all the videos you’ve made about Air Force! I’m shipping out for basic on Jan. 2nd and going in for Fire Protection. Hope to see you out there one day. 👍🏻

I'm planning on joing my college air force rotc program before going straight towards service.

Been there done that with 2 tours, learned a lot about myself, met some good friends and never take things for granted. True of what was said that it is what you make out of it, thank you for what you do

I was the Comamnd Chief there in 2020. Thanks for your service and the awesome content💯

Thanks for making video this is very motivational video for me because I prepare for air force exam .

Air Force first deployment? You on a 3 or 6 month orders then? Lol well first off already starting out good because you’re getting substandard living conditions pay, food prolly sucks so they prolly have fresh lobster on its way. That weight room doesn’t look up to AF standards. Possibly another pay. Army guy here so gotta give ya the razz. Have fun tho.

Bro thats not a deployment lol. I loved coming to a Air force base its was outstanding. 😂😂. Be safe bro. Semper Fi !!!

Stay up out there Essah🤟🏽. Deployments are definitely an experience‼️

I know Ali Al Salem when i see it.. shit isn’t a deployment

Sir i am indian muslim and i want to join us army or us air force that how to get that living in ameica in 5 years i am now 26 year old

I'm 38 leaving for BMT very soon & my AFSC is 3E331 coming in as a A1C wish me luck I'll need it‼️🇺🇸 😂👴 (Just edited due to ofsec as u said in the end 💯)

I really appreciate you shedding insight on the life inside military even if it is a little bit

Hey Kev Thanks for your service 🫡 I’m currently still in the process of joining the Air Force my paperwork has already been sent off to MEPS just waiting to get the all clear. So I can take my test and my examination by the Military doctors. It took along time to get this far but it been worth the wait.

It goes by so fast bro I would definitely go back

Awesome video, super envious of your positive attitude!

Just be careful with any outdoor postings at your location. OPSEC first. Just came from there. You know how it is there. Thanks for posting.

Is this what the majority of housing looks like? Or are there still lots of tents?

Thanks for your service and sacrifice. Merry Christmas!

I’m joining the Air Force soon and absolutely can’t wait. I’m glad I found this vid bc I know what to expect when going jn

Great attitude and Great message!! Thanks for sharing your experience 🤙🏽

Sir i am from India 🇮🇳 How to join us airforce❤

Excellent introduction and explanations. Great work, carry on..cheers 🎉

Thank you Brother in Christ for sharing your thoughts, and ideas on deployment. You're also such a handsome young man who takes his duties seriously, which is really nice. I pray that Our Heavenly Father will protect you, and bless you throughout your day's on deployment. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future my dear brother, and friend. Please take care of yourself, and stay safe in Jesus name. Amen 🙏 😊🇺🇸

RU-vid algorithm shoutout

Currently in the 23 cbcs unit at Travis AFB. How about you?

Nice video. I hope you have a great Christmas Eve and a great New Year! Who is watching "La Bastarda" while you are on deployment? Saludos.

wsg, I want to join the the airforce and I was trying to find anything that was recent in 2024 do you know everything I would have to do in the pt test to prepare thank you luv da content

Kuwait is a great delpoyment, just gotta deal with the heat in the summer months.

Merry Christmas to you and your team. Stay safe.

6:22 discord on the job? 😭

Is this Kuwait?

appreciate all the knowledge/information you’re spreading bro! Subscribing to stay here with you on the journey. I plan on starting mine soon 🫡

Just started tech school for RF Trans!

They done got that boy 😂

You and I had vastly different experiences in the Military. In the Marines it was PT 0530 and go like hell till 2100 or sleep in the field. On deployment I lived in a mud hut, on patrol every day, and didn't shower for months. No hot chow either. Of course I was an 0311 Rifleman. The AF seems real nice and to think I was initially looking at being a radio guy in the AF lol.

Go Officer route if you can bro. Retirement, plus VA disability..... TRUST ME, your life depends on this.

Maybe you knew this, but 40 years ago or so, when I was in, your rank was the first level of NCO...aka... Sergeant or Buck Sergeant. Also 40 some years ago, there were zero deployments. Only a week to maybe 4 week TDY's. Great video though. Great content! I just subscribed.

I was army but deployed to AUAB and I enjoyed it and had a really good time. Spent 9 months there and got live the Air Force life for a while.

How much weapons training did you get prior to deployment? Or was being CATM qualified all they did?

Air Force does not deploy. They go on paid vacation for 6 months.

I’m trying to join the AirForce but I keep failing the ASVAB. I failed it twice so far. My next attempt will be in February. I’m 37 years old and currently deployed in Jordan as a contractor with the Army.

I remember being stationed at Yokota during Christmas in 88' with the AF Band and missing my stateside wife and family.... so I grabbed three of my single squadron mates and we got clearance to go up and down the flightline to all the shops and play Christmas carols for all those taking duty that night. We ended the night by heading over to the NCO club at midnight for a little Silent Night... not a dry eye in the house... and boy did the beer flow in after that! lol Best Christmas I can remember. Thanks for serving and wearing the blue!

I wonder how long it took everyone in the military to change from chow or dining hall to DFAC? For an old timer, it sounds so strange, but I'm getting more used to it.

Im thinking of joining Security Forces when I enlist, how secure is this for the future? What are some other career paths you recommend?

With your attitude and pace, the sky is limit. Thanks for your service and stay safe.

Hi man ! you so cool . I won’t to going air force army . Bad may English not perfect :(

I hope you wasn’t near that drone attack bro. Because you haven’t posted a video in a while now. I hope all is well with you 🙏🏽

Did you know where or what service your doin before you left? Thanks for sharing

Man, I wish I could go back to Ali. Used to hit up the Desert Diamond every off day.

How long into your commitment do you deploy? Which year?

Hey! thank you for your service, a insight into your daily life, and amazing motivational quotes. I'm actually looking into enlisting into the Air Force as well so this has been very helpful!

Good luck stay safe 🇺🇸👏🏼

Been in for 2 years and I have yet to tdy or deploy. Hoping to do both at least once during my career

People need to learn the difference of “deployment” and “rotation”. I mean lets be fr

I wish I would’ve seen your content sooner great work

I was deployed to San Vito air base Italy for 4 months back in 99. I leveled up big time in my career. Learned so much. No distractions. Pure bliss. TDY/ Deployment is definitely awesome for that. its actually the best part about being in Air Force. Except over the holidays. Great video bro.

Your content be fire bro

Are you activity duty or guard ?

Thanks for sharing. Now I know what "he's" up to when deployed 😊💕

Wet wipes for the travel there is crazy 😂😂😂😂

I thought he was Layzie Bone lol

6:21 What is discord used for?

Worked at AJ and Buehring. KWI is not a bad to deploy. Kuwait City has pretty much everything except for a beer.

An absolute pleasure working and learning from you guys in Iraq! Hope you're doing well brother.

See you guys use TOs too haha 😂

❤❤❤i understand the effort it takes to make these videos so thank you soo much for sharing your experiences so well !!!!

Kuwait is not a deployment

You miss spelled rotation *

Good video, glad to see yall doin well

Cool Channel.....just subscribed......from Tampa.....Go Bucs!! I was an Air Force SP back in the day (1985-1997). I was at MacDill and was deployed to the first Gulf War (90-91). Amazing a lot hasn't changed ("Civis" and positioning shoes at the foot of the bed, Trailer bathrooms) and some things have (Taco Tuesdays). Question......can Airmen now grow Beards?

Thanks for ur service

Sir; after you graduated, how long did you wait for your 1st deployment?

How long were you in the USAF before your first deployment?

Any AFSCs you highly recommend for someone who cannot stand desk jobs? I know SecFo and maintainers are obvious answers but are there some overlooked jobs in the AF?

What job do you havw

Hope you’re doing good man! Been getting ready to join and your videos have really helped❤ Keep up the good work brother 🙏🏼

bro look like Layzie Bone

omgoodness Dominga Shataun is there too! Yall should make content

Seems like Kuwait is the place a lot are getting deployed too

Nice video big dawg! Keep the grind going. Good ass video

Great video and great key points for deployment I feel like some people forget that there is some growth that comes from being deployed, because on my deployment a lot of people were negative and weren't taking the positive that come with the deployment experience.

8hr days on a deployment is crazy

Thank you...I truly hope someone is doing better.

🇺🇦bring back memories 🫡✌🏾

DAM! The chairforce deploys.. Wow. Enjoy man

Looks nice, glad you doing well
