Moving to my first base| Minot AFB Dorm Tour Vlog

Hi guys! I’m back and I’m now at my new dorm at Minot Air Force Base, ND. Wanted to take you guys on the day I got here and how I rearranged my dorm to my liking. Just trying to make my new home feel like home.

    I’m glad the next generation of Airman are getting to enjoy the new dorms at Minot AFB! I was stationed there in 2004 and the dorms were old and we had to share bathrooms! I was in the dorm right across the street from security forces and right next chow hall! The only thing I miss about Minot is the people I met! I don’t miss the below zero temps or plugging my car in during the winter months 😂

    Hey! Thank you for your service in the air force and for making these awesome videos! I have a request for your next video. Is there any way you demonstrate the stationary movements like attention, parade rest (front and rear views) and the facing movement. I think it will give your subscribers a first taste on what the air force is like by seeing its basic movements done and I think it would be really cool! If you do this, can you record your whole body (for each angle of the position as well) since different things happen simultaneously throughout the whole body. Thank you for hearing me out and I hope you can do this!
