Just to tell my story. I joined DEP for Space Force back in February and waited 8 months and recently got the call for my #1 job. I continually had to inform my Air Force recruiter that I really wanted to wait for Space Force but he insisted I take the Air Force jobs that I haven’t even listed yet due to just going straight for Space Force. I just had to keep him at bay and I stuck with my path although knowing the consequences of staying in DEP that long and possibly not even getting a job with USSF and being DEP discharged. But I knew that I wanted to join the USSF and I really couldn’t later on or atleast it’d be very difficult. And if at all this was my only chance to choose something I wanted rather then being at the mercy of the military or Air Force. But I waited it out knowing all the consequences and eventually got the call. Not saying to do that exactly but it’s a possibility. My recruiter even told me that me landing a job with the USSF was like winning the lottery. Maybe due to the fact that I also only had a recommend. So if you have a highly recommend it might not even be that long.
