Air Force ladies, help!

Other women, I’m a young girl planning on joining within the next few months. I just want some advice from other women who are in/have been in and may be able to provide me with some advice on questions that may seem a little silly.

1. When you first left for bootcamp, did you bring anything? If so, what?

2. How hard were the ASVAB and psychical tests for you guys? I’m so worried I won’t make it in.

3. What’s the deal with shaving and periods? Do they allow us to shave during bootcamp, is there time? And what do they do about cramps and bleeding? I know it’s awkward to ask, but I’m genuinely wondering.

4. Do we have to chop our hair? I’ve seen different things on it.

5. Any other general advice for a newbie? Thank you for any women (or men I suppose if you have anything to add) who provide me with some answers!
