Air Force Social Worker & Intern

[@_Jai_]

Wow what a great video. Extremely informative. 😊

[@bridgetleonard6702]

I graduated in 2016 with my MSW and never worked in the field but I suddenly decided I might want to do military social work.

[@cristix11]

what? do you understand the military. its easy: person makes O4 field grade, no one in authority cares about what the MSW says about career bs. you know why? because Psychiatrist and Psychologists are telling them the complete opposite of what the LCSWs are saying.

[@MikeMiasuki-vy3xx]

People who have a hard time handling life without a SW counselor are not good security risks. Not certifiable under PRP. One must look at how many O-4s, O-5s and O-6s are in that field. One can;t remain as a MSW for an entire career. AF does not work that way.

I graduate with my MSW next summer. I’m interested in this

[@tan.91]

Oh i would love to do this!

[@EstherTrueBlogs]

How can i chat you up privately? Am studying sociology and anthropology

[@triforce7464]

Has the HPSP scholarship for MSW been brought back? I believe I was reading about HPSP online just a while before watching this video.

[@Iammarlonbrown]

No, but the VA has the hpsp

When is the next information meeting you guys are having? Would love to pick everyone's brain about it!

How can I get info about AFCS clinical social worker? Who can I get in contact with instead of just the AFCS website?

Hi, my name is Raymond. I’m a medical services officer in the Army National Guard and I am currently completely my clinical hours to receive my MN LICSW. Once I have my LICSW I would love to join the Air Force as an Active Duty clinical social worker. What advice do you have for me to prepare my packet for the recruiter?

[@Lola-fu4cv]

What happens when you’re placed on the alternate list for health profession program? Do they usually select those candidates on the list? I’m #4.

[@Ddizzzle1994]

I’m AD Army getting my MSW but I’ll be ETS’ing soon. Will my prior service be considered in regards to pay with the internship?

[@angelayoung3546]

I am Air Force enlisted active duty. What is the best route to take to become an active duty social worker?

[@318rcsofficertalentacquisi5]

Hello Angela, You would have to reach out to your local career services rep on base. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

[@tabbyamc1]

Get your MSW and submit an application, they are typically due around October each year

[@SlimOVO]

Do you guys still offer the airforce clinical social work scholarship program.

[@mukisicario3854]

It remains an issue as card griz is limited on date and medical care is not valid under personal income but subject of retirement insurance factor of well being of handler

Do you need to be licensed to be an Intern?

[@318rcsofficertalentacquisi5]

Must have a LCSW for the intern positions. Thank you!

@@318rcsofficertalentacquisi5 If someone has a fully independent/clinical license, then it's no longer an "internship" at that point. Most states require 3,000 hours of clinical work experience supervised by a fully licensed social worker and then passing the 4-hour exam to obtain full licensure. At that point, the social worker can open their own private practice and operate at the fullest extent of licensure. I don't understand how/why this person would be an "intern" at that point. I myself am fully licensed in multiple states with experience working with virtually every population and setting and I'm currently working at the VA and as a professor at a state university teaching military culture. I am also a veteran. I was interested in a commission as a social worker after graduation until I was told by a recruiter that I had to have my independent license. I think there's a lot of confusion about what license is needed considering at least one of the people in this video states she's an LMSW (which is NOT full licensure) and one comment on here says you can apply as an LMSW and another comment was responded to saying you cannot apply with an LMSW. I've also seen this confusion at the VA.

[@charissaslater]

Are applicants for the year-long SW Internship able to choose which base they go to or are they assigned one? Also, if we do the internship right after MSW graduation, do we obtain the additional year of experience needed for LCSW licensure as an active duty member?

[@delanywilde4954]

You need to have 2 years post-grad experience and become licensed before you can join the residency program.

[@TheKennyang]

I am recently graduated from my MSW program. Is there any social work position offered by the Air Force without LCSW?

[@318rcsofficertalentacquisi5]

Unfortunately not at this time.

[@deemoore2231]

@@318rcsofficertalentacquisi5 Are they accepting LMSW’s?

[@selinkelly61]

Can you apply as an LMSW?
