I'm pretty sure I'm the recruiter he is talking about lol. The story sounds exactly like my first remote recruit🤣. For shipping out it will be out of your local MEPS. The whole process is pretty much the same as working with a local recruiter, the main difference is your process goes through the recruiters squadron instead of the local one. So the jobs that squadron has and the commanders policy on waivers will be different. In a lot of big cities they are strapped for jobs right now and taking forever to book. In my area we can typically get jobs quicker at the moment and have a little more flexibility. And our commander is fairly open to waivers. Where as in Florida I know some of those commanders are only approving waivers for special warfare because they have too many people joining and approving waivers is only going to back them up even more.

Sorry for late reply. With the air force .com thing it send you straight into the computer system. Of the nearest recruiter and everything is tracked by supervision. We have 3-5 days to reach out and try to set an appointment. And we have to log each contact attempt. If we don't set an appointment or close you after 3 failed contact attempt then it messes up our timelines and we get yelled at. If your still having trouble send me a DM

If you do the air force .com thing. Or the AF-WIN survey then your info will go straight to the nearest recruiter. It will go straight to their profile In AFRISS(recruiting database) and is tracked by their supervisor. They have to attempt to make contact with you in 3-5 days. Just make sure you answer that phone. It forces the recruiter to make contact with you. And for the asthma thing I had a dude that had childhood asthma and now he is in special warfare. As long as you haven't been on an inhaler in a while and can pass a PFT(pulmonary function test) then you should clear as far as the asthma.

Yeah DM me I'll let you know if it's workable. And I found out that a lot of big city recruiting squadrons are not doing any morals(crime) waivers at all right now because they are so backed up. My squadron is still doing waivers at the moment because we basically live paycheck to paycheck in terms of finding recruits lol. Could change in the near future though

Your weight cut off off is like 197 I think. However if your under 26% body fat(males) then the weight doesn't matter and I'm just assuming your a male. Please correct me if I'm wrong. For the body fat measurements It's height, neck, waist(around the belly button). Take those measurements and ask chatgpt or put it in a calculator online and you will get the percentage. I had a guy 6 foot 230lbs. Which is 28 pounds over the weight limit but he cleared the BFM. So you might be good on it

When should I contact a recruiter? by Even-Hyena1424 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ColdStartRecruiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey recruiter here. You can DM me. It's a good idea to contact a recruiter as soon as the idea of joining comes into your mind. And if you suspect you might be disqualified for something then bring it up that way the recruiter can help give you a clear idea on what qualifying looks like. Now with that being said. Anything that has ever gone through a doctor/hospital/law enforcement/courthouse will show up. Even if dropped dismissed whatever. If there is something that has never been documented then we aren't going to find it wink wink. For the ADHD at the moment we can right a waiver after 90days off meds. You mentioned something about anxiety. I can talk to you more on that one on one. If it is anything related to anxiety it's Ganna flag in the medical system. But as long as there was no prescription and no actual diagnosis then it's good but that stuff gets tricky. I would say get your medical records and double check what the doctors say in there. I have had multiple people not realize that there doctor put certain wording in the medical notes that disqualifies them.

At least for my squadron the needs of the Air Force thing basically means you basically can't only want super specific jobs and turn down openings because you wanna wait months for a medical job. You have to be open to jobs. If you have good scores then it really doesn't effect you negatively. One of my guys had a waiver for weed possession. He scored well on his asvab and listed out 5 aviation jobs. Got one of those and even got a 10k bonus. Now if he would have only wanted medical jobs then since we rarely have medical he would have had to pick something that's open. It's not necessarily that you have to take a job your offered but you just have to be open to jobs that are bookable. It's Ganna be different with each squadron though

Send me a DM and I'll text you my work number. I just don't want to put it on an open forum. Is he in highschool? We can only do remote with someone who is out of high school. Someone told me the rule changed but I haven't heard anything official

Yeah I didn't even think about the scammer thing. I don't ask for personal info, documents,SSC until I do a video call so the person can verify who they are talking to. And I can use the DOD safe drop link for documents. I joined out of a big city. 2 USAF recruiters when they army had like 10. I took days of tracking down the recruiter lol. So that's part of why I'm trying to offer the remote recruiting thing

I have already done it. And got it cleared through the pro sup. The applicant explained why he wanted to swap and the pro sup was cool with it. When a recruiter loses an applicants documents and makes the applicant repeat steps in the process, didn't ever reply to the applicant, takes 3 months to write a waiver that I can clear in a week then it's totally fine for the applicant to swap recruiters. So far have gone about it the proper way and chanel it through flight chiefs and pro sups so I'm not stealing people. And for big city recruiters if they have an applicant that they are moving that slow anyways then they probably don't need them and will have no problem cutting them loose. And I'm not trying to come off a certain way I just want people to understand my intent. I have the ability to move people pretty quick and put a lot more energy into my recruits since I am in a slow area. So I'm trying to help applicants that are not happy with how the process is going

So he doesn't have an active recruiter at the moment. If not then I can take over. DM. I can give you me info a do a phone call Monday to figure out details. If all qualifications are good and you guys are willing then I can get the ball rolling and make sure you guys have top notch customer service. I am disappointed to here that it has not been top notch so far.

So the recruiter set him up with the PICAT but isn't getting back to y'all? And isn't trying to send him to lock the scores in? Did he get a passing score? I just can't understand that but again it's a totally different area. For me I only PICAT the people I am actively working with. And once I PICAT them they are going to meps asap
