While this is true, just as easy as you can deny a job they can deny your contract. I’m not sure the outcome of that since your DEP discharge goes up to MEPS. I would think it could interfere if you tried to join with a new recruiter. They might see that you’re fixated on a particular job and might not want to work with you. Every recruiter is different though but I accepted the job because I wanted to. Not because I felt like I had to
Yeah much better to wait. I learned the hard way and stupidly took whatever was available to leave right away my first enlistment and was miserable. I later re-enlisted and changed career fields. But liked the military overall and ended up making a full career of it. I was almost the same situation, also forced into a mechanical job and hated it, I worked on aircraft. But having said that everything is what you make of it. You will have to make the best of every job or base you get sent to. You will see and learn many things. But Don’t worry about the “knowledge” part they will teach you everything you need to know. You will be ok. Good thing is whether u actually “love it” or not I would advise to stick with that one or find another similar lucrative job. You also want to be thinking of the “civilian market” for after you get out. Whether you stay for 20 or not, you will need a good job when you get out. Aircraft maintenance is one of those higher paying jobs on the outside!! 💰 💵
That’s why your asvab test score is important. My son just got a 94 on the test and they kissed his butt and gave him a job better than he ever expected.
Kayla Richards .... he bought a couple of the study books off amazon and then studied 20 minutes a day and then me and his mother questioned him about what he just read every day. He also had an 3.8 gpa when he graduated in 2019 from HS which helped. He is in language school now learning Russian for air force intel.
@RR R Unfortunately, that's not always the case. I got a 93 on my asvab, 4 years ago, and the AF recruiter could only give me Security Forces or mechanic. Ended up doing 4 years with the Army, with a job that wasn't my 1st pick lol. Here I am, 4 years later, trying to get a decent job with the Air National Guard lol.
ASVAB score is important but a lot of people just can’t get high scores. Been studying for awhile now and still can’t get a high score unfortunately 🤷♂️
Man the Air Force job selection process is so shady lol they really give some of y’all a hard time. Army was so simple, took ASVAB,looked over scores with my recruiter to see what jobs i qualified for. Sat down on his computer and looked through which job i wanted and reserved it before i even went to MEPS. Went to MEPS and signed my actual contract for DEP with the same job i reserved in my recruiters office. But i understand that the Air Force life looks more comfortable so maybe it’s worth it for you guys to go through this. Good luck with everything.
@Dex Mitch you make the same amount according to your rank. Since you are going to the reserve you will be home working a regular job , but doing your two weekends a month. It doesn't matter the job you get paid base on your rank.
@Dex Mitch I was (Army, 92A 12 years) and my son is AF(9s100(Staff Sgt(4 years) and my daughter is Army(68C (PFC(18 months). The Army will give you what you want as long as you qualify. My daughter was going to go AF, but they didn't want to give her a medical job, and her ASVAB score was two points from perfect. They said they had no medical jobs and she would have to go to basic and hope one came up. So, she went to the Army and received what she wanted, right away. She now works at an Army hospital in prenatal and has her own room- with a half kitchen- to herself. So, the ARMY is not worst than the AF, everything depends on your job. The Army will give you your job before you leave for BT, the AF doesn't necessarily do that. People must remember that the job is what makes the military "doable" , if you hate your job you will hate the military. So, chose wisely.
The Army tried this same thing with me. So I shook the guys hand, and walking out his door and straight into the Air Force recruitment office. I actually want a mechanical or tech job. That’s what I wanted the Army kept trying to put me in roles that have to useful skills outside the army. At least being a air craft mechanic or aviation tech or whatever job I do, I can go work at some Airport or aviation company once I leave.
The U.S. Air Force’s sole objective is #airsuperiority. Its combat mission/s are predicated on its air superiority. If you are not a (fighter) pilot - you are working on the jets and air frames. Simple as that. All pilots are commissioned Officers. Pilots fly. All maintainers are enlisted Airmen. And maintainers fix the air frames. Partners in the same mission. Everything revolves around the pilots and their maintainers. Everything - and everyone else, is secondary. Always remember that.
my recruiter told me from the first day I met him what the air force NEEDS were and when I finally got my job listing (pretty much all admin and general) he told me which ones on the list he was actually gonna be able to offer me and had me make a list from there. Thankfully he’s been a big help
My recruiter telling me perty much the exact same thing, mechanical and electrical. I feel like everything I find on the internet is outdated and the AF is a bit more strict for 2019. Maybe at one point you could choose what job you want, but it seems like there's so much competition these days, recruiters (particularly AF recruiters) can discharge you and move on to the next guy/girl who will take the job that nobody wants. I appreciate your viddy; the most recent/good info I could find. Good luck!
Yeah I felt the same way. A lot of the videos I was watching were from 5+ years ago! But I’ll definitely be posting more AF videos once I get through BMT. Thanks for watching!
09:50 Correct. All recruiters do this unfortunately, I had a 97 ASVAB and was forced into open general. When you go open category you do get to make a dream sheet in BMT, but you are not guaranteed that you will even get one of those five jobs that you write down. It's all needs of the military at that point. It's basically a dream sheet that you fill out. When I got to BMT and put 5 jobs down, the top three were ones that I wanted prior to BMT but I ended up getting a job that wasn't even on the top five and was one that I wasn't interested in. If you have a high ASVAB you may be placed into a critically manned job. They'll teach you absolutely everything you need to know though. I think the other categories like mechanical, administrative, and electrical are all better than open general. The general category has such a wide array of jobs you have a higher probability of getting something you're really not interested in.
My recruiter is trying to make me pick a mechanical job as well and that is not happening because I’m also not studying for it lol. Girl he was lying and you have a voice to choose what job you want! Ps I go to MEPS tomorrow so thank you for your videos 👌🏻
I called the recruiter yesterday & he told me mechanics & computers are the only jobs they need people for 😑 basically trying to do the same her recruiter did to her
I’m currently waiting in Dep for a job. My recruiter is super cool, and when I say he stepped for me and he always told me never take a job you do not want period!
That’s so awesome! Thank goodness I just got lucky with my situation and everything’s been working out pretty well. Good luck with everything! I hope you have an easier experience than I did😅
MY GOD I COULD HAVE SAID YOUR PART!!!! I specifically did not want to do well on parts of the test that I thought would lead to me ending up working on cars, or motors or that had anything to do with wrenches or turning bolts😩 I ended up with a job working on an aircraft...I loved it when I started it, hated the people I worked with. However, there's a silver lining. You can go to college and get the training you want for the job you want, that is actually what I ended having to do...oh and I went to the Air National Guard and that made it easier for a cross train. I hope you are enjoying your military career since this has been a few months ago now😁
As a recruiter that’s been doing this for years, here is how the job selection process works for seniors at High school and High school graduates: 1- What jobs do the Air Force actually have available? (You know.... like EVERY COMPANY ON THE PLANET) 2-what are your qualifications? 3- what is your availability to leave for BMT? 4- what are your preferences (number of jobs required to list are based on squadron policy; meaning it can be 6 in certain states, 8 in another and in my case it’s 10 jobs/ and Aptitude Area ensuring you only work in the field you desire). If you can’t follow that policy, good luck elsewhere and no hard feelings. Try the army where it isn’t as competitive for manning or the civilian world where you’ll need a degree, experience, etc.
Disclaimer; I fully understand that not every recruiter is like this. I think it’s foolish not to be completely open with applicants because trust is how my business thrives. I’m a business major and I know for a fact that happy applicants with great remarks make this possible. I hope you all find this comment to be helpful since the truth about each persons process will be different. If you don’t follow the rules for enlisting or do your research to ensure you know how it works, you’ll be just like every other person on Reddit and RUclips complaining. 🤷🏻♂️
Great comment. I have been in recruiting too long. MI recruiter, LA Ops, Pittsburgh MEPS and back on the bag in the US Virgin Islands. What is funny is one my applicants and his parents from 2010 didn’t like the job process. They argued with me over it. I told him to take a hike. He eventually joined. I met him again last year at our annual. He is now a recruiter in my Squadron explaining that job process. He told me he read the comments I put in the system from when he was an applicant. Lol
@@shaynevanderkuyl3951 I was a waiver applicant when I came through. Lol I saw my AFRISS comments 😅 I told my RIC I'd wash soda cans just for the benefits alone! To this day I've gotten everything I wanted because I worked for it. Those who find success have the same background. Glad to see you found this helpful!!
Hey! I dont mean to bother but I have a question, if I get offered a job I dont want I can't turn it down and wait for another one? Also what would be the best plan of action to improving my chances of getting a cyber job? Thanks
@@winds1010 hey! No worries at all! So. If you are NOT a waiver individual then this is my answer: If you work with your recruiter to make a list but don't want a job you listed... you're wrong lol. Don't ever list a job you don't actually want because that's a waste of resources, time and truthfully we are all here to serve the air force. It's disrespectful to make a list but lie about your intentions and just hope it works out for your number 1 type of job, i.e cyber etc.. I know you don't mean anything by it but we all serve a greater purpose and the air force recruiting service needs to fill positions for the goal of maintaining national security and all that heroic stuff lol Make your list and be happy to get anything off of it! 99.9% of my applicants have never had a job in the position they ask for... this means they could hate their number 1 preference and love their very last choice and have no way of knowing. Just go in with an open mindset regardless of what you think is the best or worst etc. If you got a job off your list and aren't happy you can't just trade it out etc. You can go for retraining later in your career (this is actually stated on your contract / AF Form 3005/7 for the ability to do this halfway through your contract) Ultimately if a job is offered to you but its not on your list you can refuse it. This is all on the basis that you didn't need a waiver to join. Waiver applicants have literally no say in when they go / how they get selected. Final bit: remember why you joined the air force. If it was just for a job, why did you go through all the hoops of enlistment when you could've just spent money on college and certifications? If you answer "lack of money, need travel, foundation, safety, better career options, we pay for the education, etc) this is why the air force is amazing regardless of the job. I hope this helps!
You should’ve went to a new recruiter, my recruiter worked with me on my job. He tried to offer me a mechanics job and i said hell no .I waited in dep for 2months for the specific job I wanted and he called me today and said I ship june 4th for the JOB I ASKED FOR. But idk if it’s too late to switch. he’s an ass btw
I knew I wasn’t crazy! Lol but yeah I mean I feel like everything happens for a reason and I’m probably meant to go this route. Well, guess we’ll see and I’ll just be hoping for the best!
I’ve heard a little bit about it as far as but from what I understand you’ll do that if you either switch jobs or if you flunk tech school and have to get a different job altogether
So now that you are signed up, just pray for a job that is enjoyable for ya! Stay positive, and take advantage of everything they offer, get a degree, get your certification
I'm intentionally going to answer all the wrong answers for electrical and mechanical. My recruiter doesn't know it yet....but its either a medical job I want OR NOTHING. I'm not going enlisted into the AF with a Bachelors Degree to be told I HAVE to take a grease monkey job lol I will drop out of DEP before I get pressured into ANYTHING. Medical job or I'll just work in the private sector.
From what I’ve been told you have to score a 93 or higher on the ASVAB or have a family member as a recruiter to essentially get a medical/admin job. You can go Officer but I’ve spoken to officer recruiters who have said it’s about a 2 year process to even get in and even then it’s not guaranteed since you have to be approved by a board on whether you’re qualified enough. Going enlisted first, at least you can try to submit your package after a year to go Officer. I’ll definitely post more about that once I get more familiar with everything!
Your not forced to take the job, recruiters can't force u to take a job. You can deny jobs and be put on a waiting list for the job you want. Dont get screwed over by the recruiters. Don't intentionally get the answers wrong.
Don John not sur with the Air Force but in the marine corps if your going in as an officer with your degree you don’t choose your MOS it’s assigned to you.
Bailey Martin it’s been seven yes since I’ve tested n I test again tmrw. Better sooner than later - or too late” ! Trying to make the last four years before I turn 30 as productive as can be! ...instead of adding another four years of stagnantly waiting for “change” to happen
I'm in tech school right now, Initially I had booked the job 2ax33 Which is crew chief "euu"( I would hate work on the flightline sweating my balls off). Anyways, I told my recruiter that I did not want that job and he threaded me with discharge as well. Luckily while waiting on my ship day someone broke their arm and my recruiter called me if I wanted to take place as open MX and I said Hell yeah I'll take the chance. Shipped out the following week as open mechanical. Got my second pick which was Aircraft Metals Technologies (extremely lucky), one one the better one of mechanical field along with Non destructive inspections (1st pick) They are both backshop jobs. I do not have homework and is super easy and cool to build stuff out of metal and weld. Stay away from AGE and Fuels. Props is a lot of homework and their tech school is long. Since you are not electrical you will not get any avionics which also get a ton of homework. Egress system is a joke they do not do sh*t. It all Depends on what jobs are available at the time, I believe is 3er Week you get to pick your list of jobs and dont find out till 6 week. Do your research and best of luck in BMT.
NiMeMires hey can I ask you a quick question on IG or Twitter if you don’t mind? If not you can answer it here. I’m going open mechanical and I really want NDI, metals tech or ASM, do you think these jobs will be available for selection at basic??? I scored a 80 on the asvab for mechanical.
I totally get the frustration because my recruiter said that most of the jobs could be my preferred ones but the rest of the slots needed to be Open Aptitudes (General, Administration, etc) which I'm pretty sure could have led me to go in Open Contract if one of the other jobs would not had opened up... hmm. Great video, nonetheless and thank you for sharing your perspective!
Girl you should've gone somewhere else. He was definitely being an ass. You could've did the asvab again for a better score to qualify for more jobs. My recruiter is very nice thankfully and understanding. So many people I know in the airforce picked their job or atleast the field that theu wanted to be in. He completely bs'd you
The thing is some recruiters will let you wait and some won't. The job you get offered comes down to the needs of the Air Force at the end of the day. You get what you get and you don't get upset.
First of all I love this purely for your humor😭❤️, I’ve been in the process of enlisting and have been binge watching videos! Thank you so much😂, hoping everything turned out well for you!!☮️
My recruiter told me that all the medical jobs are high in demand, but didn’t mean that I couldn’t get one. So I’m like ok, but I’m open for other jobs as well. I feel like a lot of recruiters are like that, but mine was like I want you to pick a job that you’re interested in, and then other recruiters just really don’t care so it’s 50/50 lol my brothers recruiter sucked
Not sure the recruiter did a good job explaining the job process but sometimes it’s the applicants that don’t listen or don’t fully understand. There will be several jobs on your list that are not available or only come available a few times a year. If you are open to the jobs that are available, then join. If not, then go enjoy the Army. The Air Force is going away from aptitude indexes like the 9TM44 she got. We are currently only booking about 10% Aptitude indexes. In the past it was as much as 40%. Ultimately the real job is the Air Force or the branch you choose to join. The way the branch of service treats you and your lifestyle will have the biggest impact on you.
lmao the zooming in clips got me dead 😂😂😂 but i’m currently waiting in DEP right now for a job 😭 so yes you can wait for a job, your recruiter was trippppinggg 🤧
this is a great video lolll youre so funny! I'll be on a place to basic in TWO days!!!! And im also mechanical aptitude area😂im definitely glad that I wont be working at a desk or with a bunch of females
I’ve been in the DEP for almost two months. I’m just waiting for them to tell me what my job is going to be and send me off. I hate waiting. They always there was a shortage in jobs this month so I’m just waiting 🤷🏻♀️😭
I started this video with the intention of siding with the recruiter- but you were definitely lied to. I’m so proud of you for being in mechanics- you will absolutely learn so much! Congratulations 🎈
I didn't know I could pick my job before I went in...i Got Blessed ...i went in open general and ended up being a lab tech...great job that translates to the same job out in the civilian world...i scored well on the ASVAB though.
My recruiter isn't the best (although like covid is happening and he's gotta deal with other ppl so I get it) but he never told me "you have to pick from these areas otherwise I can't get you a job" he told me "ya know you can refuse job offers, etc". Definitely be open to all kinds of jobs, the job I got put in for is one I didn't really think about going in for but I'm actually excited about (going in as a linguist, not sure if I'll be ground or airborne yet, he's still looking for a contract for me but dude was like "you passed the DLAB I'm making you a linguist kid" which I don't mind at all), HOWEVER, you DO NOT have take a job or an aptitude area just because your recruiter is pushing it on you. You have a choice sometimes it won't be your first or second choice but you have a rough choice in what you go into. He definitely lied to you 100% and you should probably report him or something so he doesn't do that to other young, naïve adults
Probably a lie. I’m in the process of joining the AF now. I graduated college Cum Luade and finishing up dual certificate now in software engineering... just scored 89 on ASVAB. Pretty much have golden spoon in my mouth and the recruiters treating me like a million dollars. He told me straight up he’s already met his quota for the year and doesn’t want to see overqualified people being tossed around. Pretty much said if I don’t get the job I want, he can go out of his way and essentially cherry pick that job for next round of job openings for me. I guess it just all depends on the situation on how you get treated.
DON'T go to a Military Recruiter by yourself!! Take someone you know and trust that's in or has been in the military with you on the first couple of meetings so you DON'T get screwed!! Do research on jobs in the branch(es) you're looking to enlist into.
i got to make a top 10 of the jobs i wanted and i ended up getting my #2... but i scored an 89 and qualified for all but 1 job. A couple of the guys at the dep calls i went to didnt get to pick all their jobs but they were just trying to leave and wanted to go with any job.
Yeah that’s definitely the case a lot of the time. Most people just take whatever job they get But it’s definitely true that the higher you score, the better for sure.
What did you end up getting. Waiting to find out on an approval so I can go back to meps and swear in but yeah i qualify for all jobs with my asvab scores. Not trying to go mechanical and my recruiter knows that though plus the jobs I want are in high demand kind of
Hello, I have a question... I took my ASWAB test last month and I’m gonna retake it next month. My concern is supposed to be I wanna apply for National Guard but I changed my mind now. I’m interested more in Airforce, so should I need to take Same ASWAB test?
I fucking got a 92 on the ASVAB and my recruiter told me the same shit. It’s all bullshit but you can’t do anything about it. I’m assuming there’s an incentive to get new recruits into those aptitudes. I fucking hate this shit
im prior service so i have to wait for a seperate list of jobs to come down...but even then theres nothing open...and im looking at a 2020 contract. at this point im just like fuck it man this is taking waaaay too long. In the army theres jobs open all the time even to reclass to another job. I dont wanna settle for some shit job but cmon man 2020?
What if one of your jobs gets landed but you are waiting to marry ur spouse do you don’t have to go back and change paperwork because we all know it’s always a headache to wait and change information, can I swear in under the job I want and also change my marital status before bootcamp or once you swear in are you sweared in under as a single status in the DOD
Okay quick question ... what if I only want to go into the Air Force for just 1 specific job ... I don’t want to go in and do a job I won’t enjoy ... I want to do vehicle management and that’s the only job I want ... is there anyway I can do to guarantee this job? I’ve heard that you write down the 7 dream jobs you want ... what if I don’t want the other jobs ..I just want the vehicle management..??
So you may end up getting a good recruiter that can hook you up with the job you want or you could end up in my case where mine made me go ‘Open’. When you fill out your dream sheet in BMT they say it’s best to put at least 3-5 jobs you could potentially see yourself doing in order of which one you want the most. They specifically told us that by only putting one specific job there’s not a good chance of getting it. My number one job (that I qualified for at MEPS) wasn’t even an option to pick for my dream sheet at BMT so there’s always the chance that that AFSC is full by the time you fill it out. My best advice in this situation would be, don’t be fixated on one specific job. Keep an open mind of a couple of other jobs that you could possibly consider should you not get vehicle management even if you score really high on the ASVAB. I hope this helps!
The only job I want is Security Forces. If I put it as my number 1 pick, do I have a high chance of getting it? If I don’t get it can I wait for an opening?
Hey Alexis. I'm going through something similar currently. Basically I have been in DEP since June. My plan is to wait until a job comes up that I'm interested in. A security forces position recently came up and my recruiter said I had to take this position. Like yourself, I said I no to the position. I'd rather wait until another position comes available. He basically said if I don't take this position I will be discharged from DEP. I'm wondering if this is a lie. Were you able to find out if this is a lie? Thanks for your insight.
Ugh the same thing happened to me! Technically, yes. Your recruiter can discharge you from the DEP program at this point if they want which sucks. However, you can always find another Air Force recruiter in another city near you to work with! Security forces and mechanical jobs ALWAYS need people so recruiters will always try to fill those positions first. It’s all about what YOU want in the end.
The Diamond Alexis hello, thanks for responding! Sorry for the late response but, yes, I’ve been doing a lot more research on all my jobs that I chose (including mechanical) and I’m definitely a lot more acceptable with the jobs but I’m still hoping to get at least one of my top 3 picks
@@thediamondalexis_ idk if you signed something at meps or what but i know people wait out 6 to 8 months for the job they want cuz they dont sign anything. But at least your looking at the bright side. Im here in Okinawa Japan as a civilian my dad is a marine and will PCSing back to the states next month. already talking to a recruiter to get the process rolling for the asvab. Main focus im trying to get is intel or Linguist. Ima try not get finessed into anything plus i already know the process growing up around the military all my life. First rule is never sign anything lol GOOD LUCK!
No Air Force is the only branch that doesn’t let you sign for your job at MEPS. Trust me, I did a lot of thinking and weighing my options before I signed my contract. I know he’s a recruiter so of course he’s going to say whatever to get that contract but my dad’s been in the military my whole life too and he was a recruiter so I did a lot of talking to him before signing as well.
The last time I checked the minimum score for AF is a 31 so you’ll definitely qualify for something. Recruiters will probably try to steer you towards certain career fields but it really just depends on what you scored individually with each section (reading, math, electronics etc)
😂 😂 all I can do is laugh , ur funny. I’m told I qualify for electronics, mechanic and engineering. I guess that’s better than working with a bunch of girls and at a desk
Damn my recruiter is awesome ASF and would NEVER be on no crazy stuff like that. Currently a DEPer and my guy trying to get me my number 1 if he can help it. But I'm still open minded. But this guy tricked you, you don't have to do mechanical, idk your scores but I'm pretty sure you could have went it open general and been more satisfied with your options. You should have went to his boss, I'm sorry you had this experience.
I wanted a medical job but I saw u have to already have a degree 😭n Ives seen other af people say they wish they choose a either job like ground transportation or finance etc but idk
They just want to get you in as soon as they can to get that contract. People have waited for up to a year for a job. Don’t let them lie to you like they did to me lol. I mean maybe a lot of people are trying to get that job but don’t let them force you into picking one like I did.
GUYS! You are allowed to deny your job offers! You dont have to take a job! The recruiter cant force you, deny the job and wait for the job you want!
While this is true, just as easy as you can deny a job they can deny your contract. I’m not sure the outcome of that since your DEP discharge goes up to MEPS. I would think it could interfere if you tried to join with a new recruiter. They might see that you’re fixated on a particular job and might not want to work with you. Every recruiter is different though but I accepted the job because I wanted to. Not because I felt like I had to
If you deny a job that You put on your list you will most likely be DEP discharged.
False
The Diamond Alexis I second this opinion...going through it now...
Yeah much better to wait. I learned the hard way and stupidly took whatever was available to leave right away my first enlistment and was miserable. I later re-enlisted and changed career fields. But liked the military overall and ended up making a full career of it. I was almost the same situation, also forced into a mechanical job and hated it, I worked on aircraft. But having said that everything is what you make of it. You will have to make the best of every job or base you get sent to. You will see and learn many things. But Don’t worry about the “knowledge” part they will teach you everything you need to know.
You will be ok. Good thing is whether u actually “love it” or not I would advise to stick with that one or find another similar lucrative job. You also want to be thinking of the “civilian market” for after you get out. Whether you stay for 20 or not, you will need a good job when you get out. Aircraft maintenance is one of those higher paying jobs on the outside!! 💰 💵
That’s why your asvab test score is important. My son just got a 94 on the test and they kissed his butt and gave him a job better than he ever expected.
I got a 89 and my recruiter was offering me so many jobs. It’s good having a really high asvab.
How did he study for the ASVAB if you don’t mind me asking
Kayla Richards .... he bought a couple of the study books off amazon and then studied 20 minutes a day and then me and his mother questioned him about what he just read every day. He also had an 3.8 gpa when he graduated in 2019 from HS which helped. He is in language school now learning Russian for air force intel.
@RR R Unfortunately, that's not always the case. I got a 93 on my asvab, 4 years ago, and the AF recruiter could only give me Security Forces or mechanic. Ended up doing 4 years with the Army, with a job that wasn't my 1st pick lol. Here I am, 4 years later, trying to get a decent job with the Air National Guard lol.
ASVAB score is important but a lot of people just can’t get high scores. Been studying for awhile now and still can’t get a high score unfortunately 🤷♂️
Man the Air Force job selection process is so shady lol they really give some of y’all a hard time. Army was so simple, took ASVAB,looked over scores with my recruiter to see what jobs i qualified for. Sat down on his computer and looked through which job i wanted and reserved it before i even went to MEPS. Went to MEPS and signed my actual contract for DEP with the same job i reserved in my recruiters office. But i understand that the Air Force life looks more comfortable so maybe it’s worth it for you guys to go through this. Good luck with everything.
I sure hope so! Lol Thank you😁
Yes you are so right the army is simpler I was able to pick the job I wanted according to the ASVAB score.
@Dex Mitch you make the same amount according to your rank. Since you are going to the reserve you will be home working a regular job , but doing your two weekends a month. It doesn't matter the job you get paid base on your rank.
@Dex Mitch yes I have 15 years. I will not tell you my duty station. My mos is 92Y
@Dex Mitch I was (Army, 92A 12 years) and my son is AF(9s100(Staff Sgt(4 years) and my daughter is Army(68C (PFC(18 months). The Army will give you what you want as long as you qualify. My daughter was going to go AF, but they didn't want to give her a medical job, and her ASVAB score was two points from perfect. They said they had no medical jobs and she would have to go to basic and hope one came up. So, she went to the Army and received what she wanted, right away. She now works at an Army hospital in prenatal and has her own room- with a half kitchen- to herself. So, the ARMY is not worst than the AF, everything depends on your job. The Army will give you your job before you leave for BT, the AF doesn't necessarily do that. People must remember that the job is what makes the military "doable" , if you hate your job you will hate the military. So, chose wisely.
The Army tried this same thing with me. So I shook the guys hand, and walking out his door and straight into the Air Force recruitment office. I actually want a mechanical or tech job. That’s what I wanted the Army kept trying to put me in roles that have to useful skills outside the army. At least being a air craft mechanic or aviation tech or whatever job I do, I can go work at some Airport or aviation company once I leave.
That’s my job now! Aircraft Maintenance!
@@thediamondalexis_ pls what did u score in the advas Test.??
@@thediamondalexis_ i would love to do that
Legit all all recruiters will do a this. it’s annoying.
The U.S. Air Force’s sole objective is #airsuperiority. Its combat mission/s are predicated on its air superiority. If you are not a (fighter) pilot - you are working on the jets and air frames. Simple as that.
All pilots are commissioned Officers. Pilots fly. All maintainers are enlisted Airmen. And maintainers fix the air frames. Partners in the same mission.
Everything revolves around the pilots and their maintainers. Everything - and everyone else, is secondary. Always remember that.
my recruiter told me from the first day I met him what the air force NEEDS were and when I finally got my job listing (pretty much all admin and general) he told me which ones on the list he was actually gonna be able to offer me and had me make a list from there. Thankfully he’s been a big help
My recruiter telling me perty much the exact same thing, mechanical and electrical. I feel like everything I find on the internet is outdated and the AF is a bit more strict for 2019. Maybe at one point you could choose what job you want, but it seems like there's so much competition these days, recruiters (particularly AF recruiters) can discharge you and move on to the next guy/girl who will take the job that nobody wants.
I appreciate your viddy; the most recent/good info I could find. Good luck!
Yeah I felt the same way. A lot of the videos I was watching were from 5+ years ago! But I’ll definitely be posting more AF videos once I get through BMT. Thanks for watching!
Adam Sul This is true and EXACTLY WHAT IM GOING THROUGH!
09:50 Correct. All recruiters do this unfortunately, I had a 97 ASVAB and was forced into open general. When you go open category you do get to make a dream sheet in BMT, but you are not guaranteed that you will even get one of those five jobs that you write down. It's all needs of the military at that point. It's basically a dream sheet that you fill out. When I got to BMT and put 5 jobs down, the top three were ones that I wanted prior to BMT but I ended up getting a job that wasn't even on the top five and was one that I wasn't interested in. If you have a high ASVAB you may be placed into a critically manned job. They'll teach you absolutely everything you need to know though.
I think the other categories like mechanical, administrative, and electrical are all better than open general. The general category has such a wide array of jobs you have a higher probability of getting something you're really not interested in.
My recruiter is trying to make me pick a mechanical job as well and that is not happening because I’m also not studying for it lol. Girl he was lying and you have a voice to choose what job you want! Ps I go to MEPS tomorrow so thank you for your videos 👌🏻
Yeah I figured it was just a quota thing🙄lol. Good luck! 😁
I called the recruiter yesterday & he told me mechanics & computers are the only jobs they need people for 😑 basically trying to do the same her recruiter did to her
I’m currently waiting in Dep for a job. My recruiter is super cool, and when I say he stepped for me and he always told me never take a job you do not want period!
That’s so awesome! Thank goodness I just got lucky with my situation and everything’s been working out pretty well. Good luck with everything! I hope you have an easier experience than I did😅
What’s your recruiter ig or contact?
^
MY GOD I COULD HAVE SAID YOUR PART!!!! I specifically did not want to do well on parts of the test that I thought would lead to me ending up working on cars, or motors or that had anything to do with wrenches or turning bolts😩 I ended up with a job working on an aircraft...I loved it when I started it, hated the people I worked with. However, there's a silver lining. You can go to college and get the training you want for the job you want, that is actually what I ended having to do...oh and I went to the Air National Guard and that made it easier for a cross train. I hope you are enjoying your military career since this has been a few months ago now😁
As a recruiter that’s been doing this for years, here is how the job selection process works for seniors at High school and High school graduates: 1- What jobs do the Air Force actually have available? (You know.... like EVERY COMPANY ON THE PLANET) 2-what are your qualifications? 3- what is your availability to leave for BMT? 4- what are your preferences (number of jobs required to list are based on squadron policy; meaning it can be 6 in certain states, 8 in another and in my case it’s 10 jobs/ and Aptitude Area ensuring you only work in the field you desire). If you can’t follow that policy, good luck elsewhere and no hard feelings. Try the army where it isn’t as competitive for manning or the civilian world where you’ll need a degree, experience, etc.
Disclaimer; I fully understand that not every recruiter is like this. I think it’s foolish not to be completely open with applicants because trust is how my business thrives. I’m a business major and I know for a fact that happy applicants with great remarks make this possible. I hope you all find this comment to be helpful since the truth about each persons process will be different. If you don’t follow the rules for enlisting or do your research to ensure you know how it works, you’ll be just like every other person on Reddit and RUclips complaining. 🤷🏻♂️
Great comment. I have been in recruiting too long. MI recruiter, LA Ops, Pittsburgh MEPS and back on the bag in the US Virgin Islands.
What is funny is one my applicants and his parents from 2010 didn’t like the job process. They argued with me over it. I told him to take a hike. He eventually joined. I met him again last year at our annual. He is now a recruiter in my Squadron explaining that job process. He told me he read the comments I put in the system from when he was an applicant. Lol
@@shaynevanderkuyl3951 I was a waiver applicant when I came through. Lol I saw my AFRISS comments 😅 I told my RIC I'd wash soda cans just for the benefits alone! To this day I've gotten everything I wanted because I worked for it. Those who find success have the same background. Glad to see you found this helpful!!
Hey! I dont mean to bother but I have a question, if I get offered a job I dont want I can't turn it down and wait for another one? Also what would be the best plan of action to improving my chances of getting a cyber job? Thanks
@@winds1010 hey! No worries at all!
So. If you are NOT a waiver individual then this is my answer: If you work with your recruiter to make a list but don't want a job you listed... you're wrong lol. Don't ever list a job you don't actually want because that's a waste of resources, time and truthfully we are all here to serve the air force. It's disrespectful to make a list but lie about your intentions and just hope it works out for your number 1 type of job, i.e cyber etc.. I know you don't mean anything by it but we all serve a greater purpose and the air force recruiting service needs to fill positions for the goal of maintaining national security and all that heroic stuff lol Make your list and be happy to get anything off of it! 99.9% of my applicants have never had a job in the position they ask for... this means they could hate their number 1 preference and love their very last choice and have no way of knowing. Just go in with an open mindset regardless of what you think is the best or worst etc.
If you got a job off your list and aren't happy you can't just trade it out etc. You can go for retraining later in your career (this is actually stated on your contract / AF Form 3005/7 for the ability to do this halfway through your contract)
Ultimately if a job is offered to you but its not on your list you can refuse it. This is all on the basis that you didn't need a waiver to join. Waiver applicants have literally no say in when they go / how they get selected.
Final bit: remember why you joined the air force. If it was just for a job, why did you go through all the hoops of enlistment when you could've just spent money on college and certifications? If you answer "lack of money, need travel, foundation, safety, better career options, we pay for the education, etc) this is why the air force is amazing regardless of the job. I hope this helps!
You should’ve went to a new recruiter, my recruiter worked with me on my job. He tried to offer me a mechanics job and i said hell no .I waited in dep for 2months for the specific job I wanted and he called me today and said I ship june 4th for the JOB I ASKED FOR. But idk if it’s too late to switch. he’s an ass btw
I knew I wasn’t crazy! Lol but yeah I mean I feel like everything happens for a reason and I’m probably meant to go this route. Well, guess we’ll see and I’ll just be hoping for the best!
The Diamond Alexis how long do you plan on staying in ?
I plan to make it a career and eventually go Officer as soon as I can. This civilian job life is just not for me👎🏾
The Diamond Alexis i’m doing the same trying to make a career. Have you heard of cross training and how to do it ?
I’ve heard a little bit about it as far as but from what I understand you’ll do that if you either switch jobs or if you flunk tech school and have to get a different job altogether
So now that you are signed up, just pray for a job that is enjoyable for ya! Stay positive, and take advantage of everything they offer, get a degree, get your certification
I'm intentionally going to answer all the wrong answers for electrical and mechanical. My recruiter doesn't know it yet....but its either a medical job I want OR NOTHING. I'm not going enlisted into the AF with a Bachelors Degree to be told I HAVE to take a grease monkey job lol I will drop out of DEP before I get pressured into ANYTHING. Medical job or I'll just work in the private sector.
From what I’ve been told you have to score a 93 or higher on the ASVAB or have a family member as a recruiter to essentially get a medical/admin job. You can go Officer but I’ve spoken to officer recruiters who have said it’s about a 2 year process to even get in and even then it’s not guaranteed since you have to be approved by a board on whether you’re qualified enough. Going enlisted first, at least you can try to submit your package after a year to go Officer. I’ll definitely post more about that once I get more familiar with everything!
Your not forced to take the job, recruiters can't force u to take a job. You can deny jobs and be put on a waiting list for the job you want. Dont get screwed over by the recruiters. Don't intentionally get the answers wrong.
Don John not sur with the Air Force but in the marine corps if your going in as an officer with your degree you don’t choose your MOS it’s assigned to you.
Don John you’re actually me
Yes me too! I have a bachelors degree and would enter as E-4 my recruiter say but they are only hiring now for mechanics and I backed out lol.
God works in mysterious ways!
Im looking to enlist now. Waiting to retake my asvab since its been 3 years when i took it last in HS
Omg! That’s awesome! Good luck with everything! Hope you have an easier process than I did lol
Bailey Martin it’s been seven yes since I’ve tested n I test again tmrw. Better sooner than later - or too late” ! Trying to make the last four years before I turn 30 as productive as can be! ...instead of adding another four years of stagnantly waiting for “change” to happen
Surprised he didn’t try to push security forces on you since the Air Force is always hurting for that career field
Ugh I know. Had he offered me that I wouldn’t have signed at all
Security forces isn’t that bad... but I feel you, you definitely should want to be there as opposed to it being forced on you
I am interested in security forces ! Is it easy to get into ?
unicorn lab From what I’ve researched, SF is easy to get in as it requires a lower score and they always need bodies for that job.
Elysia Uchiha I’m late here but don’t do it😂 you’ll regret it
I'm in tech school right now, Initially I had booked the job 2ax33 Which is crew chief "euu"( I would hate work on the flightline sweating my balls off). Anyways, I told my recruiter that I did not want that job and he threaded me with discharge as well. Luckily while waiting on my ship day someone broke their arm and my recruiter called me if I wanted to take place as open MX and I said Hell yeah I'll take the chance. Shipped out the following week as open mechanical. Got my second pick which was Aircraft Metals Technologies (extremely lucky), one one the better one of mechanical field along with Non destructive inspections (1st pick) They are both backshop jobs. I do not have homework and is super easy and cool to build stuff out of metal and weld. Stay away from AGE and Fuels. Props is a lot of homework and their tech school is long. Since you are not electrical you will not get any avionics which also get a ton of homework. Egress system is a joke they do not do sh*t. It all Depends on what jobs are available at the time, I believe is 3er Week you get to pick your list of jobs and dont find out till 6 week. Do your research and best of luck in BMT.
NiMeMires hey can I ask you a quick question on IG or Twitter if you don’t mind? If not you can answer it here. I’m going open mechanical and I really want NDI, metals tech or ASM, do you think these jobs will be available for selection at basic??? I scored a 80 on the asvab for mechanical.
I totally get the frustration because my recruiter said that most of the jobs could be my preferred ones but the rest of the slots needed to be Open Aptitudes (General, Administration, etc) which I'm pretty sure could have led me to go in Open Contract if one of the other jobs would not had opened up... hmm. Great video, nonetheless and thank you for sharing your perspective!
Girl you should've gone somewhere else. He was definitely being an ass. You could've did the asvab again for a better score to qualify for more jobs. My recruiter is very nice thankfully and understanding. So many people I know in the airforce picked their job or atleast the field that theu wanted to be in. He completely bs'd you
Im joining AF too and you are cracking me up! 😭😂😂 I cant wait to see your update after you return from basic 👏🏽🤗
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this info in your video content!!! Incredibly helpful for those of us researching a future in the USAF!
The thing is some recruiters will let you wait and some won't. The job you get offered comes down to the needs of the Air Force at the end of the day. You get what you get and you don't get upset.
First of all I love this purely for your humor😭❤️, I’ve been in the process of enlisting and have been binge watching videos!
Thank you so much😂, hoping everything turned out well for you!!☮️
I enjoyed your video. Best of luck!
My recruiter told me that all the medical jobs are high in demand, but didn’t mean that I couldn’t get one. So I’m like ok, but I’m open for other jobs as well. I feel like a lot of recruiters are like that, but mine was like I want you to pick a job that you’re interested in, and then other recruiters just really don’t care so it’s 50/50 lol my brothers recruiter sucked
Not sure the recruiter did a good job explaining the job process but sometimes it’s the applicants that don’t listen or don’t fully understand.
There will be several jobs on your list that are not available or only come available a few times a year. If you are open to the jobs that are available, then join. If not, then go enjoy the Army.
The Air Force is going away from aptitude indexes like the 9TM44 she got. We are currently only booking about 10% Aptitude indexes. In the past it was as much as 40%.
Ultimately the real job is the Air Force or the branch you choose to join. The way the branch of service treats you and your lifestyle will have the biggest impact on you.
lmao the zooming in clips got me dead 😂😂😂 but i’m currently waiting in DEP right now for a job 😭 so yes you can wait for a job, your recruiter was trippppinggg 🤧
Lol yeah I figured that! But good luck! Hopefully your process is easier than mine!😁
The Diamond Alexis goodluck to you also sis ❤️❤️ you’re gonna do great! ☺️
this is a great video lolll youre so funny! I'll be on a place to basic in TWO days!!!! And im also mechanical aptitude area😂im definitely glad that I wont be working at a desk or with a bunch of females
That’s awesome! And same! Good luck in BMT! You’ll do great😁👍🏾
I’ve been in the DEP for almost two months. I’m just waiting for them to tell me what my job is going to be and send me off. I hate waiting. They always there was a shortage in jobs this month so I’m just waiting 🤷🏻♀️😭

Sunflower Child I think medical is the hardest one to get
I started this video with the intention of siding with the recruiter- but you were definitely lied to. I’m so proud of you for being in mechanics- you will absolutely learn so much! Congratulations 🎈
I didn't know I could pick my job before I went in...i Got Blessed ...i went in open general and ended up being a lab tech...great job that translates to the same job out in the civilian world...i scored well on the ASVAB though.
My recruiter is trying to force me to do technology jobs only, I got a 76 on the practice test and i'm taking my real test next week
Hey good luck! You’ll do great!😁
How’d it go mate?
my recruiter told me to list my top 20 jobs and there will be a %95 chance that at least one of my desired jobs are on the list.
My recruiter isn't the best (although like covid is happening and he's gotta deal with other ppl so I get it) but he never told me "you have to pick from these areas otherwise I can't get you a job" he told me "ya know you can refuse job offers, etc". Definitely be open to all kinds of jobs, the job I got put in for is one I didn't really think about going in for but I'm actually excited about (going in as a linguist, not sure if I'll be ground or airborne yet, he's still looking for a contract for me but dude was like "you passed the DLAB I'm making you a linguist kid" which I don't mind at all), HOWEVER, you DO NOT have take a job or an aptitude area just because your recruiter is pushing it on you. You have a choice sometimes it won't be your first or second choice but you have a rough choice in what you go into. He definitely lied to you 100% and you should probably report him or something so he doesn't do that to other young, naïve adults
Probably a lie. I’m in the process of joining the AF now. I graduated college Cum Luade and finishing up dual certificate now in software engineering... just scored 89 on ASVAB. Pretty much have golden spoon in my mouth and the recruiters treating me like a million dollars. He told me straight up he’s already met his quota for the year and doesn’t want to see overqualified people being tossed around. Pretty much said if I don’t get the job I want, he can go out of his way and essentially cherry pick that job for next round of job openings for me. I guess it just all depends on the situation on how you get treated.
Don’t let recruiters pressure you. It’s their job to get people into jobs nobody wants.
DON'T go to a Military Recruiter by yourself!! Take someone you know and trust that's in or has been in the military with you on the first couple of meetings so you DON'T get screwed!! Do research on jobs in the branch(es) you're looking to enlist into.
i got to make a top 10 of the jobs i wanted and i ended up getting my #2... but i scored an 89 and qualified for all but 1 job. A couple of the guys at the dep calls i went to didnt get to pick all their jobs but they were just trying to leave and wanted to go with any job.
Yeah that’s definitely the case a lot of the time. Most people just take whatever job they get But it’s definitely true that the higher you score, the better for sure.
What did you end up getting. Waiting to find out on an approval so I can go back to meps and swear in but yeah i qualify for all jobs with my asvab scores. Not trying to go mechanical and my recruiter knows that though plus the jobs I want are in high demand kind of
i got cyber systems operations and ship out oct 29th
No Cares I was supposed to leave pretty quick to but this damn waiver got me held up smh. Good luck
Girl you are freaking hilarious. My recruiter is definitely trying to pull the same crap so I feel your pain. 😂
I like your video 😂😂😂😂. You're not acting or being fake at all. 100% being real and telling the whole story 😏
Air Force is selective. If you don’t want to get in they won’t bother with you
I’ve noticed that , they never come to schools
I’m going through the process now and my recruiter is an annoying guilt tripping dude trying to get me to pick a job he’s trying to fill
Hello, I have a question... I took my ASWAB test last month and I’m gonna retake it next month. My concern is supposed to be I wanna apply for National Guard but I changed my mind now. I’m interested more in Airforce, so should I need to take
Same ASWAB test?
So you’re aloud to wait for a specific job?
Yeah basically my recruiter is the same thing 😂
I didn't find out my job until a few days before we left basic training.
If you put your job on the list at meps you have to take it if the offer you can deny a job that you didn’t list
I fucking got a 92 on the ASVAB and my recruiter told me the same shit. It’s all bullshit but you can’t do anything about it. I’m assuming there’s an incentive to get new recruits into those aptitudes. I fucking hate this shit
I’m lowkey sad idk if u can even get over a 45 on the asvab I just pray I can get in the airforce with a good job
im prior service so i have to wait for a seperate list of jobs to come down...but even then theres nothing open...and im looking at a 2020 contract. at this point im just like fuck it man this is taking waaaay too long. In the army theres jobs open all the time even to reclass to another job. I dont wanna settle for some shit job but cmon man 2020?
Sounds mostly right .. just sounds like he didn’t want to work with very much.... either cuz asvab score or just not the nicest recruiter
What if one of your jobs gets landed but you are waiting to marry ur spouse do you don’t have to go back and change paperwork because we all know it’s always a headache to wait and change information, can I swear in under the job I want and also change my marital status before bootcamp or once you swear in are you sweared in under as a single status in the DOD
You look like a good mechanic 🧰 you can open up a oil change shop when you get back
Okay quick question ... what if I only want to go into the Air Force for just 1 specific job ... I don’t want to go in and do a job I won’t enjoy ... I want to do vehicle management and that’s the only job I want ... is there anyway I can do to guarantee this job? I’ve heard that you write down the 7 dream jobs you want ... what if I don’t want the other jobs ..I just want the vehicle management..??
So you may end up getting a good recruiter that can hook you up with the job you want or you could end up in my case where mine made me go ‘Open’. When you fill out your dream sheet in BMT they say it’s best to put at least 3-5 jobs you could potentially see yourself doing in order of which one you want the most. They specifically told us that by only putting one specific job there’s not a good chance of getting it. My number one job (that I qualified for at MEPS) wasn’t even an option to pick for my dream sheet at BMT so there’s always the chance that that AFSC is full by the time you fill it out. My best advice in this situation would be, don’t be fixated on one specific job. Keep an open mind of a couple of other jobs that you could possibly consider should you not get vehicle management even if you score really high on the ASVAB. I hope this helps!
This literally just happened to me! Going in electrical aptitude 😬
Lmao i wish we both switch. Most of the job list i was offered to was admin jobs :( i wanted mechanical,medical or electric.
What score did you get on the Asvab for those jobs. I would love an admin job
The only job I want is Security Forces. If I put it as my number 1 pick, do I have a high chance of getting it? If I don’t get it can I wait for an opening?
Max Combs yes bc it’s on high demand, but u can always wait if a job u want isn’t available.
You have an extremely high chance of getting it.
Hey Alexis. I'm going through something similar currently. Basically I have been in DEP since June. My plan is to wait until a job comes up that I'm interested in. A security forces position recently came up and my recruiter said I had to take this position. Like yourself, I said I no to the position. I'd rather wait until another position comes available. He basically said if I don't take this position I will be discharged from DEP. I'm wondering if this is a lie. Were you able to find out if this is a lie? Thanks for your insight.
Ugh the same thing happened to me! Technically, yes. Your recruiter can discharge you from the DEP program at this point if they want which sucks. However, you can always find another Air Force recruiter in another city near you to work with! Security forces and mechanical jobs ALWAYS need people so recruiters will always try to fill those positions first. It’s all about what YOU want in the end.
What score did you get to qualify for security forces?
@@dg_96_7 67. I think 38 Is the required score for security forces. Don't quote me on this though.
myricksm fsu damn I got a 37 😑😑😑
You need a G33 to qualify for security forces
how much do you make in the reserves ? i plan on going into the reserves
It’s based on your rank honestly. But everybody gets paid the same across the board. It’s just that you start getting paid on weekends only after BMT
@@thediamondalexis_ I thought reserve gets Paid waaayysss less since they have less hours. Some people only go for extra money
I made the mistake of putting a few mechanical jobs and am not looking forward to being offered those jobs...
Have you researched any of them? I wasn’t either until I actually looked up each AFSC and became more familiar with each one
The Diamond Alexis hello, thanks for responding! Sorry for the late response but, yes, I’ve been doing a lot more research on all my jobs that I chose (including mechanical) and I’m definitely a lot more acceptable with the jobs but I’m still hoping to get at least one of my top 3 picks
recruiters are not your friends they will just do their job and pick the jobs you dont want
Dang did you sign an open contract? Or I guess mechanical open?
Yup Open Mechanics. I’m excited for it though!
@@thediamondalexis_ idk if you signed something at meps or what but i know people wait out 6 to 8 months for the job they want cuz they dont sign anything. But at least your looking at the bright side. Im here in Okinawa Japan as a civilian my dad is a marine and will PCSing back to the states next month. already talking to a recruiter to get the process rolling for the asvab. Main focus im trying to get is intel or Linguist. Ima try not get finessed into anything plus i already know the process growing up around the military all my life. First rule is never sign anything lol
GOOD LUCK!
No Air Force is the only branch that doesn’t let you sign for your job at MEPS. Trust me, I did a lot of thinking and weighing my options before I signed my contract. I know he’s a recruiter so of course he’s going to say whatever to get that contract but my dad’s been in the military my whole life too and he was a recruiter so I did a lot of talking to him before signing as well.
I have a 45 on my ASVAB and I want to join the AF . Will I qualify for good jobs ? Will recruiters even give me the time of day ? :(
The last time I checked the minimum score for AF is a 31 so you’ll definitely qualify for something. Recruiters will probably try to steer you towards certain career fields but it really just depends on what you scored individually with each section (reading, math, electronics etc)
😂 😂 all I can do is laugh , ur funny. I’m told I qualify for electronics, mechanic and engineering. I guess that’s better than working with a bunch of girls and at a desk
My recruiter is pretty chill tbh
my friends recruiter said she could wait till her job opened... maybe he was just a good recruiter
Great vid and recent not old like most
“HERE YA GO! MECHANICS!”
On your dream sheet did you get your #1 station ?
Psssh I got the only choice I didn’t put on my dream sheet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can we pick the Air Force base we want ?? Need this answer soon pls?? I know the job I want but I wanna stay local
Franky Ivan Lmao no you cannot. You can’t choose anything really.
Damn my recruiter is awesome ASF and would NEVER be on no crazy stuff like that. Currently a DEPer and my guy trying to get me my number 1 if he can help it. But I'm still open minded. But this guy tricked you, you don't have to do mechanical, idk your scores but I'm pretty sure you could have went it open general and been more satisfied with your options. You should have went to his boss, I'm sorry you had this experience.
Do you still have your recruiters info?

He was super frauding 😂😂😂😂💯
Recruiters can smell desperation.
I wanted a medical job but I saw u have to already have a degree 😭n Ives seen other af people say they wish they choose a either job like ground transportation or finance etc but idk
What jobs do i qualify for with a 52 on my general asvab
They should have printed out all of the jobs you qualify for once you took your asvab at meps right then and there
I qualified for admin too but my recruiter told me the line is long for it
They just want to get you in as soon as they can to get that contract. People have waited for up to a year for a job. Don’t let them lie to you like they did to me lol. I mean maybe a lot of people are trying to get that job but don’t let them force you into picking one like I did.
My recruiters a pamper eater
I'll give you my color blindness if you want so that it disqualifies you from almost every mechanical and electrical job
He’s lying to you. Sorry it’s too late to help you.
Blast that recruiters name! No one should see them. I'd feel better knowing to stay away...! Blast their name...
Shoulda went to the Army Recruiter, much more flexible
I want a mechanical job lol
Open general
Lmao you're silly
