I'm joining the Air Force and would like to know how often I'll have to be naked in front of others. Is it true the the TI's will actually do inspections of me while nude? And that there will be like 10 guys under one shower head? Also is it usual to expect someone to have a hard on while in the shower.How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?Yes, you'll be naked in front of others, get over it. Its not a big deal.
You will be showering every single day while in BMT. You have no choice in the matter unless you want to be recycled or kicked out.
Its a communal shower so even your brother flights will be in there with you(around 50 guys total when I went through).
Most days you only have an average of 5 minutes to shower so you shouldn't be worrying about anything except getting in there and getting clean, so you wont even be looking at anyone else.
Just so you know, you will be strip searched your first day, then again a few days later when they take away your rainbows.How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?We had public showers in the Army at basic in 1989, so I was naked then. Other people I know had stalls; I would imagine the Air Force would lead the way on such creature comforts. Ask someone who's been recently, like a younger recruiter or someone at a local Air Force College ROTC program (not High School).
You should never have a nude inspection. If you do, do not be afraid to report it to your commanding officer through his or her open-door policy. You may experience some temporary peer pressure or negative attention, but those airmen responsible will be punished severely. Same for 10-man showers. It is unlikely you will see an erection in the shower. If anyone has one - and that is a big IF - , he will likely be hiding it -- wouldn't you?
But quit worrying so much about it. Only in the past 30 years has this even become an issue. Man up and get clean. No one wants to see your kibbles and bits.How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?My bf is in the air force and he told me all about that stuff,even tho i didn't want to hear it.But he told me that compared to the army navy and all them,they have the best living style.They do have stalls so don't worry about all the naked thing's ok. You'll be fine.How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?Seriously, this is honestly your biggest concern?
You won't all be ten guys under one shower head.
You won't get inspected nude.
You will have to shower around other naked guys. No big deal.
I'm not even going to address the question about the hard on.
Get over it.How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?How often do you want to take a shower? And add that to the fact that you're inspected for your mental and physical health everyday.How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?please... members of the Air Force live in luxury compared to the Army and Marines...How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?Every time you take a showerHow often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?CHAIR FORCE......Cowboy up Jesus Christ......USMC RULES!!! yes you will be nude in the showers...How often will I have to be naked in front of others in basic?I don't know if it's the same for all branches, but my husband had to shower infront of men all the time at USMC bootcamp. And he went in just as leary about being naked infront of other guys as you seem to be. (He has a really funny %26quot;personal%26quot; attribute and was afraid of someone noticing it.) But he got through and no one said -a thing- to him about it. You have such little time to get in and out %26quot;5 mins to **** shower and shave%26quot; as hubby put it, that you don't have time to be gawking at other guys. As for nude inspections, he said the only time he ever heard of it happening was when a guy went to medical during boot, and it wasn't public. The only time anyone ever made a joke or had a laugh about the nudity was like the first week there they all had to pull there pants around their butts to get a shot. Ha.
Okay, and as for the %26quot;hard ons%26quot;. My husband said that the drill instructors told them all that a LONG time ago the military used to put stuff in the food at basic to kill the libido/prevent erections, but that supposedly they don't do it anymore. He had a laugh at it though and said he wouldn't be suprised if they still do because he doesn't ONCE recall anyone getting wood, even in the morning. He said infact he could lay in his rack before he fell asleep and think %26quot;I wanna go home, wanna get some, wanna see the little woman...%26quot; and there would be absolutely nothing. Like, it was impossible. Ha. The only thing he ever mentioned was that one day this guy beside him screwed up making up his rack and he went over to help the guy fix it, and some socks and some lotion fell out of the guy's pillowcase and they all teased the guy about it. But that's it!
Hope that helps (and gives you a laugh or two!)
