omigosh this will be the happiest moment of my life, next to my upcoming wedding day. I'm a Senior Airman, but becoming an officer is my current short term goal (two years). CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!
Awesome job! I'm hoping to take that oath myself in a few years after college, and I hope the path to commissioning isn't filled with butterflies and pretty flowers, but the same blood, sweat, and tears I've felt out of my years in ROTC. Congratulations!
LOUIS!!!!! What a surprise to see you on here! buddy, i was looking at CSO videos and found this air force commissioning video and wanted to see what it was like and i see your goofy face on here! hahaha. congrats my friend!
@Sloththebarbarian maybe that's a guy thing to hate sitting at a desk. I am a jet engine mechanic on the flight line and i'll take a desk job (making twice as much money and working three times less hard) over my badass GI Jane job ANY day of the week.
@VforVendetta07 As an enlisted troop, there were times when I had to report to officers directly(it's not what you think) and it's certainly a dead serious affair. I'd be more lax reporting to the top sergeant than that. Officers, to say the least, expect more military bearing than usual.
@MarcusKiner Well, certain career fields and billets have a closer, more familiar officer-enlisted relationship. That is definitely true for aircrew. Maintainers? Meh, not so much.
@JBisaQueer It all depends man. USAFA is a place for a different breed. Its very tough to get into. Everything about you has to be perfect. Otherwise, if you want to be a pilot going through ROTC is not a bad idea, but getting that pilot SLOT and field training slot is difficult as well. The air force is looking for engineers, and in order to be a pilot in the air force, it is recommended to be an engineering major as well. art majors are not as apt to receive a pilot slot as engineering majors.
If you go to the academy, your life is going to be different from normal colleges. They have a lot of vids about it online. But the benefits are enormous. If you want a rated slot, its yours. Youre also paid to go there so you will graduate with a degree and a job and 30+ grand in your bank. But if you want a more "college experience" experience, doing ROTC is a great path, just don't be stupid. You already know you want to join, you have time to prepare to be competitive for a scholarship
@Millerboy23 I actually already have a degree and am getting a Master's degree currently. I'm also in the NJ ANG and am an A1C. I'm eligible to apply to OTS this September without penalty moving into the officer ranks, but am not into getting deployed, so I might stay where I'm at. My current boss doesn't have a degree and he's an E-8. My aunt was regular AF and retired 2007 as an E-9, again no degree. A degree helps with promotions, but isn't necessary in the enlisted ranks to make E-8/E-9.
@VforVendetta07 I don't know about disrespectful, but he seemed nervous. HOWEVER...you do NOT have your arms folded when a superior officer is speaking to you and certainly not during a ceremony in your blues uniform.
First off, you should definitely join the Air force if you want to fly. Secondly, if you really want to go to the academy, then try your best and do everything you need to do to make yourself an amazing candidate for the review board. However, the academy is EXTREMELY hard to get in to, which is why you should stick with AFROTC. Although it is also VERY competative, if you give it your all and are serious about being an officer you can do it. If you have any questions just let me know.
@thebloody1 I'm gunna guess that since I am going to Rutgers for a Masters (got my acceptance letter this past week!) in a top 20 program that I could get into OTS... The problem is scheduling and deploying... Air Guard officers seem to deploy much more than the enlisted and I'd rather finish my degree with limited disruptions and responsibility.
@enkansah Don't base the Air Force off of a youtube video of someone becoming a 2ndLt. Also remember, that's officer to officer interaction, not enlisted to officer. It's a more relaxed environment.
I am an airman in the NJANG thinking about comissioning. I have a 3.75, majored in poli. sci., and graduated from Temple Uni... wonder what my chances are... Nice video.
idk i want to do field work but im trying to find a sf officer to talk to to see if they do field work or sit at a desk but i have heard from some people you sit at a desk till you get the rank of captain then you start to do field work but everyone has told me something diffrent so im hopeing to find a actual sf officer to tell me

This was a cute video! I miss the AF at times, but it wasn't a career ambition. Ah the nostalgia! Best wishes in your service!

@rbecker54 What aircraft is he assigned to if you don't mind me asking?
Hey I go to ISU and am in the afrotc as well this is pretty sweet

@rbecker54 Nice...thats what i wanna be CSO. After i do a tour in the army..
@Agent1W Not maintainers, supporters. Trust me, they're quite the characters.
I am an airman in the NJANG thinking about comissioning. I have a 3.75, majored in poli. sci., and graduated from Temple Uni... wonder what my chances are...
Nice video.
2nd LT
do you happen to know any info about sf officers, and what turned you away?
idk i want to do field work but im trying to find a sf officer to talk to to see if they do field work or sit at a desk but i have heard from some people you sit at a desk till you get the rank of captain then you start to do field work but everyone has told me something diffrent so im hopeing to find a actual sf officer to tell me
Lol the dude recording looks just like your son! maybe their bro's
@Agent1W Unless they're flyers, because some of them don't give a fuck lol! It's true though, of course aircrew are a different breed..
you're on afbluetube's related videos
I just got selected to be a CSO how does he like the position? Has he made pilot yet?
prior enlisted?
I want to be commissioned but i want to be in sf
whats your job?
wow the air force is so chewed up. He has his arms crossed the whole time. they are like the postal office pretending to be part of the military.
Uncross those arms
