VLOG | 4N0X1 Fort Sam Houston Tech School  

Thank you so much. We did a lot of cool stuff. We aren’t allowed our phones in class, but they assign one person to take pictures and stuff so we can have for memories, so I had volunteered for that.

My pleasure! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I hope your girls do great things and have a wonderful experience as well. I really enjoyed Fort Sam and I’m at Macdill now and I’m enjoying it here very much.

Thank you so much ma’am!🥹❤️

Very helpful as our 20 year old goes through MEPS. This helps all of us understand what he can look forward to and expect in tech 😘

@@brandyparker8961 Yes ma’am. ✨ Does he have this job?

Not yet..He has his list of 10. We can’t wait for him to find out.

Thank you so much sis! Can’t wait to see you. ❤️

Although we all trained at the same facility, The Army rules will be different from Air Force. We had to phase up before we could leave and that takes about a month, or less depending on how quickly you get your checklist done. For instance, we needed to pass a full service uniform inspection, 2 room inspections, attend 5 airmen core classes (they has these all week so it was easy to attend), as well as a few other task. The faster you get your checklist done, the faster you can leave base.

Hey. I know for sure, everyone Active, Guard or Reserves go to Tech School. You have to learn your job. As far as you picking your job, me being Active, I submitted 10 jobs I want and I HAVE to take Whatever available to me, rather it was what I listed or not. For Guard and Reserves, I don’t know if you have the option to choose or not. Your recruiter will tell you what jobs are available at your home unit(more likely that would be the closest reserve base near you)

For this job, it’ll be about 7 1/2 months when I return home on Nov. 18th😭

April 5th-Nov 17th. (I fly home on the 18th)

Yes! Thank you so much lol. I used to mention it all the time when I first got there just in case people wanted to be in it, but once we started EMT, I was like “ooooh the struggle is real. I gotta put this on hold. 😂😂” but while I was there, I tried to record little snippets of everything to put a vlog together. Where are you at right now? Add me on IG

@@kebreannalasha Just added you on IG. hahahah... EMT is no joke.

Hey. No, they didn’t. I think they do do this though if your Tech School is a year+ long. Fortunately, My Tech school was in Texas and my son’s Dad lives in Dallas which was about 2-3 hours away from me. So whenever he could, we worked things out so I can see him. The first time, his dad and family came down and they all stayed in an Air BNB. We have curfews at Fort Sam. They allow weekend passes(where you can stay off base for the weekend) but I submitted my paperwork late. So I woke up that weekend as soon as curfew was over to go be with him and I dropped him off just in time for me to make it back to the dorms for curfew. The second time, my mom and family came to visit me. They scooped him up from Dallas on the way there, BUT I was able to get a weekend pass that time and I stayed off base with them.

The only time we were allowed to leave base during BMT was after graduation and we had to wear our blues uniform the whole time. As fat as Tech School, I had a pre-packed suitcase already and had my people ship it to me once there. I don’t advice bringing electronics other than a phone to basic because everything is going to get shoved and tossed around in a closet.

Hey. Congratulations!✨ I truly enjoy medical. They have so many opportunities to grow and develop skills and it transfers well on the outside. As far as any tips for Tech School, we do have one of the harder technical trainings because of all the medical knowledge we have to learn in such short time. So my advice would be to just actually take notes in class, and study. Give yourself a rest day but after lecture, go somewhere without distractions and study that material and try to comprehend it. I watched youtube videos of medics and nurses breaking it down in a more simple version. You will be fine though. I love medical now. My degree is in Sociology and now I’m thinking about Nursing School or PA School. ✨. Any more specific questions, ask here or on my IG🫶🏽

@@kebreannalasha I really enjoy the medical field so being able to do it in the air force is a dream I will definitely buckle down when tech school comes since I’m not the best test taker but I really appreciate the advice

@@typo5908 Definitely try to get your LPN while you’re in. Good luck on your journey ✨

Yes ma’am. I’m so sorry. I totally missed all of that information. My goal was to try to be as informative as I can. So phase 1 is like 4 months long. Week 1 is BLS & A&P, Weeks 2-7 is EMT, and Weeks 8-11 is Nursing. After Nursing, we have a graduation ceremony in the classroom, and then we fly out to our phase 2 anytime after that. Everyone should be gone from phase 1 within a week after graduating. I graduated on the 13 of Sep and I’m leaving tomorrow, 23 Sep. Once you get to phase 2, we’ll be there for 6 weeks working rotations in the ER. Surgeries, pregnancies, etc. I hope you get it. It’s truly rewarding.

I have another friend here that does RU-vid. I’ll ask if she can make a video on that.

@@kebreannalasha Thank you so much that's the most info i've gotten so far 🙂

Hey. Honestly I’m so hurt. I got my nose piercings in September of 2021, and shipped out April of 2022. I thought they were fully healed by then so I took them out for basic. They closed up while I was in there. Some girls had plastic studs in though. We’re not supposed to have them but they pulled it off somehow. I think they took em out during the day and slept with them at night.

@@kebreannalasha oh yeah girl I would’ve been hurt as well lol. Thanks for responding! Mine should be healed enough by this time next year as I would’ve had my nose ring for 3 years then. Thanks again! Can’t wait for more content ❤️

I wouldn’t say it’s easy nor hard. The first step with all branches is talking to a recruiter and expressing your goals and interest. Fortunately to become a cook, that’s one of the jobs that don’t require a high ASVAB score. I “think” you just need a 24 total. Place that as your number 1 choice on job sheet when you have to list the 10. However, always be open to other jobs. Services have several different sections (kitchen cook, kitchen server, gym, hotel assistant) so make sure you do some research because if you get Services, it’s no guarantee that you’ll be a cook. What do you like to do?

Once at Tech School, you’re allowed to leave base and can order or go buy whatever you want. However, there’s a checklist of things we have to accomplish before we earn our privileges to start going off base. Like room and uniform inspections, etc.

@@kebreannalasha Because I know I’m going to study but I study with my iPad so if laptops and computers aren’t provided, I’d want to take my iPad to basics with me.

@@dorotheemayag778 Ok. You won’t be able to use your own device at basic other than your cellphone for designated phone time. I highly recommend not bringing it because it’s gonna be broke by the end. If you do bring it, and it gets broke, they’re not paying for it because its on the do and do not bring list. Have someone ship it to you at Tech School.

Hey. Most definitely more to come!

@@kebreannalasha sounds good, remember there's no rush. quality > quantity
