It’s not the recruiter’s fault, but the recruiting system itself is flawed. Many are pursuing, or already have STEM degrees, that want to work in a certain field for the military and gain experience on the way. I understand your argument about “entitled people,” but they are more inclined to be passionate about their job and out-preform an enlisted who lacks interest in their assigned field. If high demand is the issue, we should go off an apply, screen, and wait basis to ensure the best and most qualified people end up in their respective roles. Now, it’s more of a “right time and place” system that’s based more on luck and availability than qualification or skill. That’s why we have Computer Science graduates working as Weather Officers instead of Space Operations Officers. This fact alone, deters and discourages many *overqualified* candidates from joining, who would otherwise make a great addition to the force. They’d take the pay cut and serve their country if it meant they could work in their field of choice, but they can’t, instead, they opt for professional careers in the private sector. There’s a simple solution to this problem, and its implementation would result in a far more efficient military.
That’s literally the boat I’m in right now. It seems the army may let me take the ASVAB and other required test multiple times to get the score I need for my one job right after I graduate with a degree in cybersecurity. Unless my recruiter lied to me either way I don’t have to sign the dotted line.
Yep. I have a biology degree but I’m not a citizen and I can’t join as an officer. So I’m trying to get some jobs related to my field like medical laboratory, histologist but they are trying to make put maintenance specialist, fuel specialist in my job list… I’ll take the ASVAB soon and see how it goes, in my practice test I already scored more than i needed to … I may join the Army and not the AF due to the jobs list.
Don't sign until you get your #1 job like he said its his job to get you Recruited never said its his job to get you the job you want. if a Recruiter says no you cant wait go to a different Recruiter
😂😂😂 good luck, if you are not a recruiter... you have no idea how this process works. You should keep your comments to yourself, as you’re clearing not a recruiter. Good luck out there keyboard warrior
@@airforcerecruiter3662 I'm sorry bud what do you get paid todo? also from what it sounds like that if I decide that I don't wanna join at the last minute it gets you in trouble so how is it anyone's problems but yours. maybe you should do a better job and get people the jobs they want instead of just telling them they cant get it because you just want to them to go to boot camp so you get paid and have an easy job
@@airforcerecruiter3662 😂🤣 Good luck out there as a sh*zzy recruiter, baby. USAF vet here. Stop lying to people. It's in your interest to NOT have people waiting for their jobs. It's in their interest TO WAIT FOR THEIR JOBS. The recruits hold all the cards/power. Deal with it.
Doubt if the other recruiter will help you. He will call the other recruiter finding out the scoop why you are coming to him. Once he finds out you are interested in only 1 job then he will dismiss you.
This video was all over the place. The person who waited for 14 months, if he or she was willing to do any job why did he/she have to wait that long? And how would you be able to guarantee your brother an electrical job if you have no control over what jobs come down the pipeline? Also since it looks bad on you if a person cancels and wants leave the program, wouldn’t it make more sense to at least meet he/she half way in getting the job he/she wants?

Keep holding out. You're doing the right thing. Of course this recruiter won't like it cuz he's a child and it's against his best interest. So he'll keep crying about it. 🤣
@@cw4623 Doubt if he will cry about it. He will move on to other people who are interested. There are a lot of other people who want to join who are open to many career fields.
Yes you absolutely can. You just need to be strategic about it. Of course the recruiters don’t like to deal with picky recruits. It makes their job more difficult. But tough titties. They are the car salesman and your life is the car. Make sure you get the car you want.
Kiara E the Army is much different in many ways. We are two completely different branches in the way we function and operate. Don’t feel down, I’ve had people wait for almost a year. But not for their #1, just for 1 of their top picks.
Kiara E this person had low ASVAB scores and had a mark down on the physical at MEPs, so they where only qualified for 3 jobs. It took myself and my boss a long time to get our hands on one of the specific jobs.
Bingo. And their option 19 incentive where I can guarantee my first duty station. Europe for me. People hype up the Air Force and for some good reasons but if you know what you want to do and where you want to do it the army is better at accommodating that. If you are some clueless sponge who will go and do whatever they want of you then the Air Force will love you. Which I understand from their perspective. But business is business. And your literal life is the product.
Wait so how come there’s people that they find out about their job at basic? I’m going active and don’t wanna create a list. I want the #1 job I choose. Know what I mean?
Thank you sir, I've decided that I will end up doing an Aptitude Contract in Electrical. I believe this will be the best possible result for me. Thanks for the information Sgt.
That makes no sense that I am required to commit to the Air Force before I am guarenteed a specific job. Once I sign the dotted line...the AF can decide for me what I will do for the next 4 or 6 years??? I'm surprised anyone signs up for that.
Thank you for the information. Been in the DEP program for the past 3 months and can’t wait to just get a job even if it’s an open contract. Definitely appreciate this video.
So what I’m hearing is you and most other recruiters are more worried about how you look on paper then making sure someone is happy in the military. Especially considering is a volunteer job.
Yep! They're desperate to shove as many people unhappily into the AF, so they lie and coerce and tell you you can't wait for jobs when you 100% can. If your recruiter feeds you this BS go to another recruiter. Or report them to their superior. They hate when you do that. 🤣
He’s right everyone you can’t wait for the job you want….Oh wait unless you have a big bro that’s a recruiter 🥸. Quality content. Thanks for informing us on how the Air Force is not looking for privileged people. Definitely doesn’t have any in it right now.
I’ve been waiting 6 months and I finally got a job and I leave in December, however the job wasn’t on my list at all and It’s in the mechanical area and I scored in the 40s for that area. My overall score was almost 90. I asked my recruiter if there’s any other jobs because I’m not qualified for this job because it says you need to have prior knowledge and he said that there isn’t any other jobs.
AFMAN 36-2032 Para 2.4.3.2.2: Recruiters will not order or otherwise force applicants to report for active duty or EAD who: 2.4.3.2.2.1 enlist in the delayed enlistment program (DEP) Can you point me to the AFI/AFMAN/AFGM that states a recruit is unable to decline a job that is offered to them while in the delayed enlistment program? Thanks.
Didn’t say you can not decline a job, but why would we work with someone who declined a job they already agreed to? Someone who goes back on their word does not seem to be Air Force material. Now if you got offered a job that you don’t have on your list, that shouldn’t be a problem. BUT, if it’s on your list and you say no to it, I cut people, and most recruiters do.
You're correct. A recruit can ALWAYS refuse. Life happens. If you change your mind or the job doesn't suit you after all, you are more than welcome and able to decline it. You'll piss off the cry-baby recruiters who will say "you aren't AF material" to try and justify their frustration at you exercising your own agency and using your brain. 😂
I'm confused. You said if they offer you job #8 on your list and you say no then you're kicked out but don't you only find out your job when you're already in Basic?
Generally, you are told which jobs are available after you take your ASVAB and have your day at MEPS. At that point, you can either accept or decline the offer. All of this is before BMT
@@ChrisHavokso in active duty you’ll already know what your job is? I thought you wright out a list and just hope for the best. Please explain! Thank you :)

What things can disqualified me on meps? Im worried by a couple of things incluiding pectus carinatum and flat feet. No pain no nothing I can do everything but still worried about not making it in. Btw does you have dates where specific tech schools starts? Are mechanical jobs easy to find? Thank u so much!
If you don't have any pain, than don't worry about it. If you have pain than it might be a problem. I have flat feet too. But the doctor just marks whether you have pain or not. If you say you have no pain that they likely don't consider it a problem.
