I went to AF BMT August 2017 and with the Air Force Song and Creed make sure you at least sort of know it. They'll never test you on it but they do make you say and sing both before PT and before classes.

how do you memorize the order of the sergeants? the order they go in for generals it's be my little general
@DavidCapperino5 ай бұрын
I think it's pretty straight forward. if you want, you can break it down between Staff/Tech and Master/Senior and Chief just sounds like it would be the top rank lol so that would have the most stripes. Staff is first and then your a Tech when you're "technically" advanced as far as the "beginning" sergeants go. and Master is first because you have "mastered" the beginning sergeant ranks and then Senior is above Master because it sounds like it would-and then Chief. lol that works for me, hope it helps!

When is a good time to apply or talk to a recruiter? I graduate from high school May 2019 and I wish to go to BMT almost as soon as I leave high school
@DavidCapperino6 жыл бұрын
If you’re not 18 then I would start with talking to your parents first. Assuming you are 18, then you could even start doing it now. I’m not sure what the criteria would be to enlist before you’re 18, but it is possible. It also wouldn’t hurt getting to better idea of what jobs you will and won’t qualify for. I’m not sure if you can go to MEPS that early or not 18, but again, good questions to ask your recruiter. Let me know if this helped!
@MyCake20106 жыл бұрын
Start now, takes 1-6 months to complete ASVAB, go to MEPS etc. took me 6 months, air force is competitive, most high school students I know that are leaving right away enlisted while in high school, mid year, must be 18, that way you can decide with or without parents blessing, don’t know your case & relationship with them. Also, can’t exceed a year for the DEP, or else automatically dismissed. Plan at least 3-6 months ahead of graduating HS. They are usually at schools anyways, also, have a good GPA.
