 I am getting ready to be at BMT in just a few hours. I'm currently at the airport, we're in the USO right now, just hanging out and we board our flight in a little over an hour to head to San Antonio, Texas. And I just wanted to shoot this video to document my thoughts the day of leaving for BMT. And I do want to give a shout out to our amazing sponsor, Sandbox, which is a military mail made easy. And it's a easy way to get letters faster at BMT. All your friends and family have to do is use the Sandbox app. They can also use the desktop and it's as easy as sending a text or an email. And they just type it up, send it, it gets printed right away and it makes it through the mailroom faster. So instead of taking about five to ten business days, it takes about three to four days to get there. So it's really easy way to kind of get that continuous motivation while you're at BMT. I have already told my friends and family about Sandbox. So they're going to be using Sandbox to send me letters and I'm so excited to know about Sandbox before going to BMT. So it's amazing that they are the sponsor of today's video. I have heard amazing things from people who have already graduated who use Sandbox and they said they would highly recommend it. So I cannot wait to use it for myself. And speaking of just being excited for receiving letters from Sandbox, I'm just excited to be at BMT in general. So my thoughts all day have still been about the same. My feelings have been mostly consistent this whole time and it's just that I feel ready. And everyone's feelings are going to be completely different. This is a nine-year dream for me that's finally happening. So I'm so excited but I also feel like I'm really prepared but then I also feel like when I get there I'm going to be completely not prepared at the same time. It like makes sense but it doesn't. But I've just felt really good and I have a friend, Reagan. She is shipping out with me. We have the same recruiter so we've kind of been on this journey together since yesterday which has been awesome to have somebody with you and we've kind of kept each other calm. We've had the same mindset about just being ready to be there because it's something that we have really wanted to do. Now if either of us were like freaking out I feel like it would make the other one nervous. But it's kind of nice to gravitate towards somebody who has the same mindset as you to kind of keep you in that same mindset. And we've talked to a few of the other girls who are getting ready to go. Even girls who are shipping out from different branches and there's tons of people who are like I am freaking out. I am so scared. And thankfully that is not the way I feel. I just feel happiness, excitement, and just only like right as I was hitting play on this video. I started getting a little bit of nervous jitters. Last night I was getting pretty anxious. So I feel like just normal excitement but then I'll get these like little spurts of like anxious nervousness. So currently like that's how I'm feeling. I don't kind of just like keep saying the same thing over and over but I'm just like so excited that it's finally happening. I officially swore in and at the airport getting ready to leave it's crazy because it still doesn't feel like it's real yet. But I think once we land in San Antonio that might be different. So let's see how I feel when we land there. So we are on our first flight. Finally this is legit Reagan's very first flight ever. And uh yeah you're excited and at least we can sit by each other on the plane and we're gonna be off to Houston. First flight out of the way. How was it? Just wanted to slip the whole way. Yeah she got a little bit of rest. That was nice. And the flight board in 30 minutes and we're just now we just touch down we're taxiing. Hopefully we can make it to our next flight to San Antonio. All right we made it in time. This is all our people right here. For YouTube. Yeah right. You're gonna be YouTube famous. Oh yeah. How are you guys feeling? Hungry? Hungry? Right we got the crew. Let's go. We're gonna go find someone to eat before we go down to baggage claim and get this started. All right you guys final thoughts before B&T. We're at the airport. We're chilling for a little bit before we go down. How are you feeling? I can't wait. I want to get this done real quick. Ready to go? Ready to go? Are you guys scared? Nervous? What are your last minute thoughts? Really? Okay. Yeah so you two say terrified. They say it's what it is. I'm the old man and he is going for spec ops stuff. So he might not even be in the same flight. He might be in a special forces flight. He's gonna be special forces but he's going like his physical level is gonna go down. Right. Yeah right right. You're eating. You're happy. Last minute thoughts. How you feeling? Excited. I'm good. Are you scared? No. No. I think for me like I'm excited. I want to know like what our nicknames are gonna be and what we're gonna get in trouble for the most. All right so I made it San Antonio. Have my thoughts changed since arriving? Barely. I just am like I'm so excited. I'm still like I'm not scared. I'm not nervous. I'm just like oh my gosh like we're getting ready to go down the stairs and I'm just like I'm just excited for the whole experience. Like this is what I'm signing up for and I just can't wait to see what it's like and share my experience once I'm done so. But that is how I feel before getting ready to go to BMT. We're getting ready to go down the escalators right now and start this journey and I will document and let you guys know how everything goes along the way like once I'm out of basic. Wish me luck. It's about to go down literally. All right right down these escalators our journey starts and this is the end of the road for me today and I will see you guys after basic training.
