I signed a six year contract and for Security Police and was promote to Airman First Class, then two years later promoted to Senior Airman, then tested and promoted to Staff Sergeant!!
You did it the right way. Keep promoting. You never know when a freeze could occur. Never say: "am I ready?" or I am not ready yet. Get ready and promote.
Perfectttt I’m glad this video is out! literally staying in the hotel in Tampa for MEPs tomorrow morning! Thank you so much Mikayla keep up the great videos you’re so underrated but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the algorithm picks your videos up
So I'm curious, because this caught my attention and it was linked to a Airforce site. "In addition, cadets electing to enter the military immediately after graduating from high school are eligible to enlist in the services at one to two pay grades higher than other enlistees. Students completing three years in AFJROTC are eligible to enter the Air Force two pay grades higher than other enlistees, and are automatically enrolled into the Community College of the Air Force, to receive college credit toward their associate college degree." Is this true? I've had many recruiters say that doing AFJROTC in high school, and I did back to back every year of it. Both semesters and even doubled up in the same semester. Ultimately, my goal is to get my bachelors and then transfer from enlisted to officer as quickly as possible. That's my end goal at least as I do want a full career in the Airforce. Also for the record, I graduated in June of 2023. so a few months ago. Would it still apply? or is this a recruiter question. Thanks again!
It's by your board score. Board score comes from a panel of board members evaluating your eprs and records going back the last 5 years. Therefore no more testing and based more on what you do, but how how high you score depends totally on how each board member rates/weighs your records, and the board members change annually iirc. For example, getting a degree may weigh less than your volunteer efforts, if a board member values it to be so, while another may not. This is one of the reasons why a lot of people get tired of doing all the extra volunteering, hoop jumping, etc. and settle at retiring at tech for better or worse 🤷
my brother did 21 yrs.. came out as an E-6 , tech sgt.. he claims thats avg, find it hard to believe. also claims he was an exceptional airman, did all the work, respected by all. my question is 21yrs = E-6, does the air force have a "move up or move out" policy ?? he has no college that i know of, maybe he did the minimum, which i wouldn't doubt.
I retired with 22 yrs as a CMSgt. (E9). in 1999. It's been a long time and I know things have changed. Your question about up or out is valid. It's called HYT. If you don't reach a certain grade by a certain number of years, you must leave or retire. SSgts could only stay to 20 yrs, TSgts 21 to 22 yrs. MSgts were allowed to stay 24 yrs., SMSgts 26 yrs and Chiefs to 30 yrs. That was during my time in the AF. Normal time to reach E6 was about 8 to 12 yrs. It also depended on your career field, performance reports and how hard you studied for promotion testing. Some career fields were harder to get promoted in. Competition was high. The higher the rank, more education was needed and required.. Some folks hate to study and drag their feet on going to military leadership academies. It's required if you want to progress. Most folks finish their careers as a MSgt and stay to 20 -22 yrs. The AF likes hardchargers...if you are not, you will stagnate in your career.
@@geraldfornadel9129 thanks Chief, answers alot of questions. my brother was in supply , got out in 2005, so during your era. i know he was a slacker, no motivation, no study time. i'm just gathering more ammo to debunk his BS stories. our old man was in USMC 4 YRS & USAF 19 yrs, MSgt ret. so, i know pretty much the time in vs grade. thanks again.
How does an airman get the E-2 stripe on their uniform if they've recently become an E2? Is it provided, or do they need to obtain it themselves? And would he get the E-2 pay instantly, or is there a wait? Thanks
You go to military clothing and purchase the stripes. Upon being promoted to E2 (or any subsequent promotion) your pay immediately reflects the new pay grade. All military payroll is paid on the 1st and the 15th of the month.

Thank you for this!
Back in 70s i made e5 on first enlistment.
I got offered e4 on enlistment in the navy but turned it down this was like 2007
Love your channel little sister!
What do you have to do to be "Below the Zone" and what does it mean?
Below the zone is to rank up 6 months earlier for SrA.
So if I have a college degree will I get paid as an E3 throughout basic?
You will get paid as E1 during basic, and once you graduate from basic they will back pay you for the difference.
@@2A5X4Ais it all automatic they’ll do that or you have to report to someone about it.
Loving the consistent videos! And right now I'm still thinking if I wanna do a 4 year or a 6 year before shipping out.
Do 4, its like ~$2,000 extra over the span of 6 years and if you don’t end up liking those last two years drag on.
so if you did afjrotc in hs it doesn't count?
MEPS screwed up on my contract. I was paid as an E3 thru all of basic.
I was too. My mail from the airforce like my cac all said A1C on it too.
lol thats a good thing right
Testing for Staff very soon; what tips and tricks did you use?
Study!
Hi where are you reading the TIS & TIG requirements to promote to Ssgt?
So if i have college credits but no degree will i get paid as an e2
yes, i’m currently joining with 60 college credits but no degree and after basic and tech school i will be ranked up to E3. talk with your recruiter!
if i started as E2 in BMT, in 6 months ill be e3?
Any info for E-6 to E-7?

What if you come in with CAP civilian Air Patrol or Jr Air Rotc
You get E3 the day you graduate basic.

That’s a lie after bootcamp you become a e2 and after Airforce tech school you become e3
