Jody, I wanted to update you on my process! I received my direct commission last week to be an active duty chaplain! Thanks for the videos over the last year!! It really has helped me see things from my enlisted brothers & sisters perspective, as well as some officer type stuff. Great videos 👍
Awesome. Great job. That’s so cool you’re able to become a chaplain. Thanks for supporting and I’m glad I could help. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hi Zac ! Can you please quickly walk me to your process ? I’m a engineer and considering possibilities to seek Direct Commission!
@@AlfonsoPerezBorroto hey man! Direct commission are for only medical, JAG (lawyers), & Chaplains (ministry professionals). All other career fields would have other routes such as applying for OTS or ROTC if you are currently still in college! You got this!
@@zbennett1720 i heard a friend got a direct commission on engineering but in a medical field!
@@AlfonsoPerezBorroto hey that could be a possibility that I was not aware of! That’s awesome!
The age ole saying. You list 9 unbookable jobs and one slot for being a defender. Congrats you're now Security Forces. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Know what you're listing and understand you're filling in for what the AF needs. Joining the ANG was awesome but glad you're out here giving important information for Active Duty. Also happy 74 years of Air Force!
Thanks for supporting bro. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hows the air national guard going for you?
Rookie recruiter here out in College Place WA. Thank you for these videos. I definitely have referred to a lot of videos while in training, and recently watched your MEPS briefing with an applicant before sending them, and they DEP’d in with no issues. Once again thank you sir.
No problem at all. Thanks for the support, and I’m glad I could help. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Sending this to all my applicants! Thank you sir
Awesome. Glad I could help. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Just secured a job as Cyber Transport Systems. 👍
Ayeee. Congrats. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This one of my 10 jobs I want how’s it going so far
@Lyfewmimi Definitely a 10/10 would recommend. I'm two years in with two years left in my contract. This job sets you up great for the civilian side and has a great day-to-day work life. I got stationed in Arizona and deployed once to Qatar. Go for it, it's a great job and opportunity.
Hey Jody! Thanks for making all these fantastic videos. They've helped a lot and have made the enlisting process very easy. I just swore into the USAF on the 17th of September. Your videos have prepared me for every step of the way. Thank you for putting the work in
Ahh man. That’s dope. I’m glad I could help you along the journey. Also thanks for watching and supporting. Means a lot. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Jody, I can't tell you how helpful and meaningful your videos are. Do you think you could do a video eventually on: a) the process of moving from your home (without or with a family, as in my case) from the time of BMT through Tech School till you get to your actual assignment? AND b) what careers in the AF translate to the best jobs in the civilian world? For instance, some jobs in the AF are more blue-collar or technical whereas some are definitely white-collar? I'm thinking paralegal or medical could give you invaluable training and experience for a job in the civilian world. No judgment on any career field on my part of course! Just very interested in that correlation. Thanks for all that you do!
Those are both really great ideas. I personally try to stay away from job specifics because I can make a job sound good, someone hears me and gets locked on that job. Next they go see a recruiter and say I told them about this sweet job. The recruiter says we’re not hiring for that right now, now they’re mad at me and the recruiter. Lol.
But the moving idea is definitely something I could do. Thanks for the idea. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Jody, you're the best! And who could be mad at you?? lol. Thank you once again for all you do, brother!
I was seriously considering joining the airforce until a couple days ago. I figured since I’m already in college I might as well finish it first so I can come into the Air Force with officer rank. I’m only 1 year into school but I think it’d be better for me in the long run and pay wise if I wait until I receive my bachelors. Is this a wise move? what do you think Jody?
How you doing 2 years later ?
How are you all this time later?
Im qualified, just waiting for a job to book. I did get a job but i was not fully understanding of the job duties and what it directly entailed (bad research on my part). Im currently waiting to see what other jobs come available. Recruiter is working with me so i am thankful but just getting offered jobs that i am not interested in at all. Curious if i need to submit and updated job list to him or let him know more specifically what i would like
My highest composite score was A55😐 might take me a minute to book an admin job
What’s a admin job
Great music, annoying that you added someone talking over it though, it makes it harder to hear as clear
Hey, how hard is it get into security forces?...how long would you have to wait to become a Raven?...can you go to Ranger School from security forces to become an Air Force Ranger...also would you recommend the bro split or calisthenics and cardio to prepare for the military...I'm a powerlifting athlete strength is my strong point...thank you for your time...
I would recommend calisthenics and cardio for basic training. That’s all you’re doing there. Security forces is very common, because it’s our biggest career field. Becoming a raven depends on your location and their requirements. Not everyone can do it, and that’s the same for ranger. It’s all dependent upon the need for it.
Do linguist deploy often? And do they pick if you’re ground or air in tech school? Picking an afsc soon and kind of trying to determine if I want to go reserve or active right now. But been talking to an active recruiter.
Hey Jody I recently went to MEPS on 6/9/22. I didn’t get to list any jobs because the Air a force counselors were training(I waited three hours to talk to them just to get to old to swear in and do the rest with my recruiter)
That’s ok. I know it sucks to wait that long for nothing, but your recruiter can help you list jobs. Just make sure the jobs you list, you’re ok with getting.
@@Jodywithawhy He sent my job list the same day I swore in. I was not expecting it to be 53 pages long so it definitely took a while to go through all of them, and in the end there where only 5 I was truly interested in.
Same thing happened to me today. I swore in but haven’t picked a job yet.
Hi Jody. When you are trying to first qualify for language training at DLI and your scores on the ASVAB and DLAB are passing, it normally a long wait as well to see what job you got?
Thanks for posting!
Jody thanks for the great videos! My son just started DEP and his recruiter is saying since its the end of the period a lot of jobs are filled and he should go to BMT as "open". Do you or anyone else have guidance on if this good? pros/cons?
I went in with an elective aptitude area contract. Which means when I got to basic, they presented me a list of electrical careers for me to choose. Basic training usually has better options with the open contracts but the downside is you have no idea what will be available when you get there. So it’s a gamble, but either way he should be fine.
I want to be a load master so bad
Hi…Jody can you please make Job qualification and all document you need video for a green card holder or non citizen who wants to join the military…. And also thank you very much for your videos ❤️👍
I’ve created this video. Lemme know if it helps. ruclips.net/video/Rar4xlJH0JI/видео.html
@@Jodywithawhy Let me check it out and thank you very much for replying 💪
Thank you
How long is the average time from start to finish to be entered into OCS if one were to apply straight out of college? And how does job picking work?
I’ve heard it can take 1-2 years but I’d love to hear what Jody says
It’s about 1-2 years. Lol. Lee was right. If you want to know about jobs, I made this video which kind of discusses the process. ruclips.net/video/MrvihY2AzTQ/видео.html
Do you have any "gold nugget" pieces of information for someone just learning about electrical circuits for them "to see the picture clearly!" And can you possibly do a video talking about the need or lack thereof one's own electronic devices and phone and internet plan during bmt, ait, first duty station, and overseas assignment?
As far as learning about electrical circuits prior to joining, it can help but the tech school will teach you everything you need to know. There’s really no reason to prepare.
As far as your electrical privileges, you’ll have all of your stuff after you graduate basic. You won’t be able to use it during class hours once you’re in school, but you can after class hours are over.
@@Jodywithawhy Thanks!
How hard is it to get a medical job in the AF? I’m getting mixed reviews online. I’m very interested in the surgical tech program and just wanted to know what the likely likelihood it would be available.
Hi Jody I can’t seem to get this questioned answered however, I’ll see if you can help. If a Air Force member is married, and has pets such as dogs can you bring the pets with you overseas IF you get stationed overseas? Also would you know if there’s any websites that discuss this info/pricing?
You could bring the animals depending on the location. Some overseas locations don’t allow dependents or pets and some do. I made a video about joining with dependents and I believe in the video I discuss accompanied and unaccompanied orders. You can watch it here. ruclips.net/video/WU6mQ-ewLWY/видео.html
@@Jodywithawhy ok thank you I’ll check out the video. Do you know any websites that calculate a states average BAH pay?
What do you know about job selection for people coming in prior service?
What if I’m only really interested in the more medical, health, patient care field?
My recruiter is making us do 15 jobs because their is so many people joining
Yea. This is common depending on location.
Hi Jody! Do you know how long Tech School is for Weather (1W0X1)? Is it 5 or 8 months?
Hey Jody, should I buy the ASVAB For Dummies book? Or, can you recommend a good book?Studying online is not it!! Thank you🖤
Yes. I definitely recommend that book. I made a video giving my tips on preparing for the asvab. ruclips.net/video/RzH1gZ4GQIA/видео.html
If I have an associates degree in a specialized field, will I have to “relearn” everything I learned in a civilian school if I get picked for that job?
Yep. They will make you go through the course.
@@Jodywithawhy bruh
Lol. I know it sucks.
It been 5month since I enlisted and picked my top jobs and I haven't gotten a job and date yet. Also does that 5month count towards my 4years because I read something about it on the enlistment contract but not sure.
Unfortunately the 5 months doesn’t count towards your enlistment. Unless you’re in the guard or reserve, with them your time starts immediately.
As far as the job, currently everyone’s been waiting a long time. We have more demand than actual supply. Most people are waiting anywhere from 4-10 months for a job. I hope this helps.
How many jobs should I have on my dream sheet? According to my research, it's good practice to only put the jobs that I would like to have and could see myself doing. I only have 5 jobs that truly interest me. Would this be an issue when waiting for placement?
Most recruiters will have you list 7-10 jobs. Others may make you list 15 or more. It’s all dependent upon their leadership and the squadrons policy. I hope this helps.
Thank you!!
I'm electrical general aptitude after having a negative credit account waiver
How would you know if you're disqualified?
Your recruiter would’ve told you. If you’ve already received a job, you should be fine.
@@Jodywithawhy I go to basic in 2 weeks with no job. Just electrical general area.
That’s what I had when I went to basic. You’re gonna be fine. You’ll be presented electrical jobs when you make it to basic, and you list jobs there. They’ll let you know what you get in week 5.
Hola...
La puntuación de mi hijo fue 78 ASVA Air force y le dieron un waiver por problemas de audición en los tonos bajos.
Crees q optenga el waiver? Q recomiendas 🙏🏽
Felicitaciones por la ASVAB. Esa es una gran puntuación. Desafortunadamente, no sé si se aprobará la waiver. Cada vez que se trata de oídos, la única forma de saberlo realmente es esperar la aprobación de los médicos. Solo les recomendaría que esperen y vean lo que dice el médico. Espero que esto ayude. 🤙🏽
Can you wear your glasses when doing the vision test?
Definitely. You’re recommended to bring them.
Question you can pick a MOS in the Air Force and decide to switch to another one a year later?
What about traffic ticket already resolved at 5-10 years ago ? Can you explain if that matters
This wouldn’t matter. Talk with your recruiter to see if you should list it. If it fell off ur driving record no need to state that, however if it’s just 1 traffic ticket it won’t hinder ur Air Force enlistment process
Yea. It wouldn’t cause any issues. But you still wanna mention it.
Thank you so much !
@@AlfonsoPerezBorroto your welcome. Talk to ur recruiter they know best. I had a speeding ticket and red light ticket from May, 2019. I still made it aware. I’m sure it wouldn’t be problem unless you have multiple traffic violations etc.
Hey Jody,
I was wondering 🤔. Is 3e321 hard to get into?
I just want to be part of the Space Force
Same. We'll need a 10% more or so higher score on the asvab hope you get to it:)
What are most need jobs in the air force?
Is fire protection usually bookable?
My wife is a foreigner back in Tanzania. When I join the Air Force how can I have my wife accompany me? Should I start her process now or wait til I join? Will they bring her over once I’m finished with Tech School? Thanks
Your wife will need a social security number before the Air Force will let her accompany you. You two should start working on that process now. Once she has a social, she can com with you after tech school, and you’ll receive dependent pay.
My shirt tho. Extra wrinkly. 😂😂😂
I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it lol. That’s usually me everyday 😂
Hey I have a question. I'm trying to join but I need a few waviers I know that disqualify me for some jobs. Does that mean I'm not likey to get the job I want at all though even if I make good asvab score. For example my friend made like a 90 on the asvab but they sent him to construction instead
If you need waivers, you’re kinda at the mercy of your recruiter. They don’t have to do the waiver, so if they do one, they’re expecting you to fill any job they require.
Also, depending on the charges, it could disqualify you from certain jobs especially top secret jobs or any jobs that could potentially be in proximity of sensitive information. I hope this helps. 🤙🏽
Jody got a question so in the army for example you can get contracts do specific jobs can you not do that in the airforce
We do that, and we also have aptitude areas. But it’s different from the army. The army allow you to pick a job. The Air Force makes you make a list, and they pick for you from your list.
What counts for a financial waiver? Like just having credit cards/personal loan?
Having overdue payments, things in collections, or high debt to income ratio (over 40%).
@@Jodywithawhy okay nothing to worry them thanks Jody another great video
@@Jodywithawhy Do you need a waiver for having multiple collections in the past, even if they were all paid off.
It depends on if they still show up on a credit report.
How long does it take for the airforce to approve a dependency waiver? I passed my asvab and physical and just waiting on that. :/
It depends on the squadron and how busy they are. But on average, I’d say about 1-2 weeks.
I have a question 🤔 I am prior service I went to the air gaurd from the navy reserve I could not do the job I chose because it was very labor intense I retention person told me I can switch jobs. Iv talked to 3 people about the job I was qualified for but they didn't want me ...so now what ? It seems like I don't have any options...can u help?
What state are you in? You may have to find another state and see if they’re hiring, or cross train into another job.
What are some jobs that have good work/life balance for family life?
I haven’t been able to ask my recruiter yet, but is it hard for people to get medically qualified with a food allergy?
It depends on the food and how severe the reaction is. You’ll just have to try and see in order to know for sure.
They’ve mentioned no non rated jobs for officers atm, and only rated jobs. I’m trying to get an RPA slot…
Yea. The officer program is very thin on non rated jobs. Rated is probably the only way you can go and have a chance.
hey jody, I have a question I enlisted into the air force reserves in August, Do you know why they don't allow new enlistees to get a job that isn't within a certain mile radius of my hometown?
When you join a reserve unit, you have to attend the monthly drills wherever that reserve unit is located. So if it isn’t close to home, you’ll have to travel to where it is. Does that answer your question??
@@Jodywithawhy hey yes that makes so much more sense haha thank you! I also have a follow up question can you relocate to be closer to the reserve unit that you attend your monthly drills ?
It depends on your leadership and if the base closest to you has your job available. It’s definitely possible and happens all the time, but you have to coordinate it first. I’d recommend talking with your supervisor.
@@Jodywithawhy Thanks for always being super helpful!!
I am a green card holder and my recruiter told me that I can get a waiver after getting in for Cryptologist job. He also mentioned that I must get the required G72 before joining so I there might be a chance to get a waiver.
Is this information accurate? Also, in case I couldn’t get the G72 and I scored lower. Will I still be able to get waived for that?
There’s no waiver for a green card holder to get a cryptolinguist job. I’ve made a video which details jobs non-us citizens are able to do if you haven’t already watched it. ruclips.net/video/Rar4xlJH0JI/видео.htmlsi=8xL531gV2iBns6i2
@@Jodywithawhy what I understood that I will sign for a non-US job and after getting in with that job, there might be a chance to get a waiver for Arabic cryptologist.
Would that be a possibility? Or there is no way to get that waiver no matter what?
Thank you Jody. I appreciate your videos.
In your experience is pararescue a hard job to get ? Meaning is it going to be available most of the time?
They don’t recruit specifically for PJ anymore. They recruit for special warfare candidates. Meaning you qualify to make the special warfare standards, and after basic training you’ll go to a pipeline. If you successfully complete the pipeline, they will then determine what special warfare career you go to school for. They are all hard. PJ is the hardest physically.
@@Jodywithawhy thanks for the help!
Wat type of jobs can I get as a green car holder ?
Hey, do you know how bookable Nondestructive Inspection is?
It’s uncommon. It wouldn’t be a job you put much hope into.
My recruiter told me they changed the way they do the jobs now he didn’t really explain it to me just told me it comes out every 2 weeks? any info on that?
That’s all case by case. Not every location does jobs the same, so you may have to get further details from the recruiter. But the recruiter is right, the job process has changed a bit.
Jody, I realized you said supply doesn’t book often is it as rare as medical or is it really hard to get a supply job?
It’s just rare like medical. Pretty easy to qualify for, just hard to get
@@Jodywithawhy ok, so would having two supply jobs on my list be bad?
Both of the jobs are rare. If you’re listing them, you wanna make sure the other jobs you list are in demand. There’s always a possibility you can get supply, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything to bank on.
@@Jodywithawhy how often does civil engineering jobs come around?
It depends. They come more often than supply jobs, but they’re not consistent.
what do you mean by maximize your physicals at MEPS?
You want to do your best at the physical. You don’t want to display any limitations of movement, or lift too little weight on the X-factor test. Everything you do determines how qualified you are to join.
Jody is so popular that he doesn’t get dislikes.
I think people are just being nice. Lol. 😂😂
Do people wanting to become officers have to take the ASVAB?
They have to take an AFOQT. It’s the test for officers. You only get two chances in a lifetime to pass, so make sure you study.
Can I join the Air Forces single ???
Definitely. You don’t need to be married.
😂🤦🏾♂️
Thinking about Flight Attendant 👩✈️
That’s a really good job. May be hard to get though, because flight jobs are hard to come by. I would recommend you find about 7-9 other jobs you’d be interested in, that way you can make a competitive job list. I hope that helps. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Dang. /:
Do you have any knowledge of prior army active wanting to go active airforce
Right now our prior service program is only hiring for linguist and special warfare. And you have to have prior experience as a linguist to qualify for linguist, so basically special warfare if you’re not a linguist.
@@Jodywithawhy so guard or reserve then request to go active ?
Even then, you’ll fall into the same situation. Unless you became a linguist in guard or reserve. That would give you some leverage.
What was your job Jody ??
This guy has gold badge, there’s no way he’s not a gold badge recruiter.
1 time silver badge.😅 I recruited in Iowa. Now I’m a recruiting instructor. I started this channel after I got off the bag. If I had this channel while on the bag, I think I could’ve pulled gold badge off.
Security forces is the job I want 🙂
It’s very possible because it’s our biggest career field.
@@Jodywithawhy yay I would think everyone would want to do it
Will Security Forces be easy to get
It’s the biggest career field the Air Force has. However you still have meet all the requirements. If you do qualify for the job, it’s pretty easy to secure.
😊
How much does uniforms cost you want to buy some extra????
They’re like $45-50 for a pair of pants and the same for a shirt. But the Air Force gives you an annual clothing allowance. I just received $421 for my uniforms. The cool part is if you don’t need uniforms, the money is yours.
Thanks I’m going in as 2A933 what kind of planes am I working on
Ayeee. Congrats. You’ll be working on bomber aircraft.
How much is the enlistment bonus for this job?
I don’t think it has one. Are you joining active, guard or reserve?
Did they allow COVID vaccine exemption 😂?
This what im waiting for 👀👀
@@supashad me either man
what jobs are hard to fill?
Linguist, munitions systems, special warfare, fuels and pest management are always usually hard to fill.
@@Jodywithawhy My son was sworn in at MEPS this week. He selected water and fuel system maintenance as his job and I’m literally depressed. I work for the gov with many retired veterans. I’ve been told that the job is basically like a plumber for the Air Force. I know my son will not be happy doing this. He is a gamer type that spends most of his time on computers. He scored a 81 on the ASVAB. I specifically asked his recruiter before he went to MEPS if he would have the option to change jobs after MEPS and was told he could. I was worried he would be coaxed into something. Now the recruiter is singing a different tune. My son is a good kid that really wants to be apart of something great. I feel like I’ve failed him because I could not be with him to make sure he made good decisions at MEPS. I just want him to be happy. The recruiter advised today that my son probably will not be outside much and dealing with poop is not a major part of the job, but I’m hearing different. I don’t know if I should just have my son walk away from this opportunity. Do you have any suggestions or should I give up. I’m a single mom and felt like the Air Force would give my son structure and discipline. I’ve never had any behavioral issues with him, but always felt guilty he didn’t have any worth while role models (my dad and brothers never had steady jobs). Guess I just needed to vent. Pray for me.
This is really unfortunate for you all. I know you want what’s best for your son, but you have to trust that the Air Force will help your son grow into an adult. They will train him, give him the discipline and structure he needs, and who knows, he actually may enjoy that job.
I told my recruiter I would do anything but maintenance. I ended up taking an open electrical contract. Meaning I wouldn’t know my job until I got to basic training. When I got there, the only jobs that were available were maintenance jobs. I freaked out, expressing to everyone “I’m not a maintainer”.
Anyway, I go to tech school learn my job, and graduated top of my class. I also did really well at my job and enjoyed. What I’m trying to say is we don’t know what you’re son will like. But we do know the Air Force will give him everything he needs. If he doesn’t like his job, he can cross train 12 months out from the end of his contract into another job. Just give it time and watch him grow. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you for the response sir. Unfortunate indeed. I was so happy and now I’m feeling so sad. We are meeting with the recruiter in the morning to discuss my concerns. I will say that my son has been pretty positive through my meltdown. He’s 19 and just ready to get out and live life (this will be his first job). I’m trying not to act like a helicopter mom and I know I gotta let go, I just want the circumstances to be right. I’m going to be super positive and pray for the best outcome! You have made me feel better with your kind words and guidance. I will follow up to let you know how it goes. Take care. 🙂🙋🏾♀️🤞🏾🙏🏾
Good luck to you all and I hope everything works out. 🤞🏽
