Thank God I finally passed my ASVAB the EXAMS ON MY 5th attempt with the help of Mr DAVID, I used his preparation tips. just 3 days of working with him and I passed. I was referred to him by a friend before my exams. Please friends I recommend you to mr DAVID. The man has the key to getting your exam.

Revruiters are like HR. Hard to find people who know what they're doing, but that's ok. Because many other industries are struggling too.

[@GregSr]

Way back in '75, I did the DEP for 90 days because my 8 month tech school was not available yet. The DEP gave me time to get my affairs in order, including marriage. After graduating from BMT in Lackland in January of '76, my wife and I drove to Chanute AFB in central Illinois for my school. After tech school, as a Californian, I was hoping for orders back to the southwest US for my permanent duty station. Nope! I got orders to the extreme northeast (Loring AFB in Maine). We were stunned and very naïve. As I was reminded many times, "the needs of the Air Force come first". We ended up liking it there. Had some great experiences and made some great friends. For me, the Air Force was the right decision at the right time. I was honorably discharged after 4.5 years and we drove back to California. I'm proud to have served my country.

[@homerfry9234]

why did you only serve for 4.5 years??

[@GregSr]

@@NicoleBermz Good question. I had enlisted for 4 years but I extended my enlistment for 6 months because we didn't want to make the 3,000 mile drive back to California in the dead of winter. Having saved up 60 days of terminal leave, that allowed me to depart Maine in April 1980.

Walk-Ins, I lived off them. I don't think I ever had someone from a cold call actually enlist. I did 24 years, but only 4 as a recruiter, 82-86. It must be a lot different these days, but I bet those "goals" are still around. The stress I experienced in the job was the worst in my working career. But it wasn't all bad either, best wishes for success from a former bag carrier. I don't miss recruiting, but I do miss the Air Force. Best 24 years of my life.

This is a very detailed video!

I wanted to go into the reserve but I’m open to enlist as well. However I want to do reserve first then enlist full-time if that is possible. I currently studying for the AsVAB. Last time I took it which was few yrs ago I got an 8 on it😬🙈😔

[@MakiahRoam]

Thanks for tuning in! Having a degree is still good - especially if you want to enlist, just make sure you have your transcripts available for your recruiter Keep studying! Don't give up if this is something you really want

I'm currently in a frustrating situation and would like some advice from you folks. Due to the situation with Covid and the nature of recruiter availability, I have not been afforded any time with both recruiters I have contacted due to the necessity of medical waiver(s). Should I expand my contacting efforts to areas beyond my county or am I truly stuck with the waiting game? Much appreciated.

[@tttmarcel2777]

I want to be a programmer, scored high on the asvab with M-A-G-E. They keep trying to get me into Airborne Linguist and they told me the EDPT test is "very hard". We will see, I told him I'm willing to work with him and made a list of jobs. He almost made it sound like it was impossible to get that job. Told me a story of some guy with a 98 ASVAB who couldn't pass it. There's not much information about this test on the internet 🙄

[@terelld9270]

Linguist is a job that is a high need in the airforce. Which gives it a greater availability if you can pass the DLAB . Computer programmer on the other hand is an extremely rare job so chances of receiving it are very low. Being that there is no way to wait for one specific job, it seems like your recruiter was giving advice along your lines of interest to give you the best shot of being able to join. The edpt isn't necessarily difficult. Passing it just doesn't guarantee that you will receive that job. Good luck with your career!

[@weirdmood8102]

Linguist is one position the air force seems to be in need of. Which makes you available for sign on and reinvestment bonuses. Get paid, Buddy.

So what do you need for the Air Force reserve again ? Also what jobs are available and can you transfer to space force ? Also why that cardboard cut out have a carbine instead of a plate of lobster? But seriously what jobs are available for reserve in the Air Force right now and can I still live in Texas ? And as a follow up if I go enlisted and own a house and have two kids and a wife what happens ?

[@evilload]

Basically the same requirements as active duty. You would need to talk to the reserve recruiter so see what jobs are open at a nearby unit. Good part of the reserves is that you pick where you want to live/serve (reserves won't make you move unless you choose too).

[@miaredwine7040]

This reassures me very much! I’ve done a program in junior year and became a certified Medical Billing and Coding Specialist! To hear I would be able to be put in the field is great! I still have to ask will they not give it though if you only scored a 39 in general? Or do they only see the certification as a pass still?

You applying for the Airforce

[@JC-yp6vd]

The problem with the Air Force is, very few jobs can translate to a job on the outside. After you spend 4 years in, you will go to the unemployment office in your state and that office will stamp on your paperwork - "No Job Experience". Congrats - you wasted 4 years of your life in the Air Force while your friends either went to college and got a degree, or they are in the trades - Do that instead.

[@MakiahRoam]

Not true lol

[@rams2gether]

We can’t get a recruiter to return our calls and when one did, he would only work with my son if he does open classification. Surprisingly we are in SATX , military city, and cant get anywhere with this. His dad just retired USAF - ATC and my son knows that’s the career field he wants and has already tested. Any suggestions?

[@MakiahRoam]

Keep trying different recruiters! One will give in! Will definitely have to be patient though if your son’s preferences are strong They prefer flexibility so it may take some convincing Their priority is based on the demand of the Air Force.

Go special warfare

[@brandonreyes1920]

Mr De-Rex M is right, Pararescue Jumpers are a special forces unit that go where they’re needed in the objective of saving lives, so unless you’re alright with going through a 2 1/2 year training pipeline for that and being a field unit maybe look into it, just an option.

[@billydasquid1201]

This a stupid question but do you go through Air Force recruiting to get to space force recruiting? How does that work? Do they even recruit or just pull Airman into the program?

[@MakiahRoam]

I'll ask around!

I would like to be an officer (since I have my Bachelor of Fine Arts [ I know it's a degree that the military doesn't likes to hear/see but I already have a long back story about why I got my degree]) but don't know a good recruiter to help guide on. My friend trying calling one (well the air force reserve) the other day during our lunch break ( I was just her moral support) but it was kind of a let down, he basically just told her to just go Air Nation Guard and didn't really explain in depth why national guide, he just said, she doesn't have the degree for the demand now and no one is retiring yet (She has a History BA) . I already have an ideal career chose based on the careers offered on the site, just wanted to go more in depth about air force and best route. As of right now, I 'm working to back in my physical shape, studying for the ASVAB unless I need to study for the AFQT, and just making sure I maintain a good record. My family were back ground military, but growing up they told us to get bachelors and become officers instead if we decided to join military. Since then I already had Vets telling me to check out air force as well make sure to go in as officers, just need to find a good recruiter to help guide me to the right path.

[@MakiahRoam]

Dont down play your degree! The military values a Bachelor’s degree in its entirety! I’ve always told people - if you aren’t have luck with one recruiter and one recruiting office, try another (distance may become an issue but it may be necessary). I’ll echo your family and say the officer route is a better choice financial wise and work wise - depending on the career you’re in. Good luck with everything!

Damn at least let your recruit them take the asvab one more time lol. Some people really want that 2nd chance and study hard.

[@lesliekim4447]

Do you know anything about reentry codes and re-enlisting? I went to basic but got injured and was sent to medhold. They sent me home with a code 4C which I know technically I cannot re-enlist. But I know some friends who were able to with a waiver proving they healed. I just had a stress fracture and my recruiter told me he’d try to help but this is the first time he’s dealt with this so he’s not sure what to do. I’m willing to do anything to go back! Please help :(

[@MakiahRoam]

I'm actually not sure - any updates?

[@lesliekim4447]

@@MakiahRoam Yes, I did end up finding a recruiter willing to work with me. A lot of recruiters don’t know about it or just do not want double the paperwork because it’s a huge process. But it is possible with a waiver and commanders approval of switching the code to a reenlisting one
