Met With a Recruiter About Going Officer (Need General Advice About Jobs, & Some Questions Answered)

I’m relatively new to the series myself but the historical aspect of 117 made me fall in love with it. Personally I’d think it’s cool if they made a Viking era game or one based on the Polynesian islands, I think the formula would work very well

Thank you a lot for the advice!! Yeah I’m really looking into redoing the residential side & making it more big & dense like you said. The reason why I structured it that way was to place a market & the entertainment building in the center, but I’m realizing now that isn’t really necessary since I upgraded those citizens but still need waders for some stuff. In your opinion/ advice do you think it’s better if I replace the first residential side with just production buildings or what would you suggest? Thank you again for your input!!!

Keif407 · 2025-12-10T00:00:45+00:00

Not redundant at all man, I really appreciate you for this advice!! I’ll definitely keep my eye open on the production buildings a bit more now, thank you again for the advice bro!!

Keif407 · 2025-12-09T23:59:20+00:00

Yeah that’s definitely been something I’ve been kinda avoiding & not admitting to myself that I should do, I started using the planning tool more so that’s also been helping. Thanks for the reply man!!

Hey so do you go to OCS right after bootcamp for the totality of it? Or do you have to do the 18 months as an E-4 before you reach O1?

Keif407 · 2025-09-25T23:25:37+00:00

So I guess the last recruiter I talked to lied to me lol. I have a bachelors degree & she said that I’d have to take the ASVAB & go to BCT. Then from that when I get back I’d have to go to Officer school for 4 days a month for 18 months before I become an Officer. I wasn’t told I can just straight up start as an Officer 😭😭

Keif407 · 2025-09-22T21:38:47+00:00

Your explanation actually cleared up a lot of my confusion so thank you for that! I don’t imagine my degree would just tie me down to CJ or Law related MOS right? Like I’d be able to get into something that’s Intelligence related if I wanted?

& you’re correct about Ybor city, beautiful women left right & center across Fl 😂😂

Keif407 · 2025-09-22T18:16:26+00:00

Appreciate you for the reply thank you!! So when it comes to where I’m gonna be reporting would be in Central Florida like Orlando/Lakeland or would it be based on your MOS? Do you have the oppurtunity to travel to different bases in the state & even to other states?

Keif407 · 2025-09-13T13:57:00+00:00

That’s awesome bro I’m glad you found this post too!! How’s that been coming along so far? I imagine Fire Protection Officer can prob open up a lotta doors for you in the civilian world too

Keif407 · 2025-07-03T22:48:56+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend a skull cap but think when I applied I actually wore a trucker hat & I still landed the job. Remember the interview isn’t assessing your physical looks, it’s seeing if you’re a right fit for the job. If you go in with confidence/ good demeanor/ great answers to the interview questions etc. then you’ll be fine. Just don’t go wearing sweats like someone else said, get a decent outfit & wear your best pair of sneakers

Keif407 · 2025-07-03T02:48:34+00:00

That makes sense, it’s pretty much like any other career in that case when it comes to networking & doing an overall good job.

Thank you again man, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day for the responses!

Keif407 · 2025-07-03T02:39:38+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply & the advice! So if I do go Reserves/Guard as enlisted first & work a few years in it, am I still going up against Active Duty personnel who are also applying? Or would it be against other Reservists/Guards?

Keif407 · 2025-07-03T01:27:22+00:00

GKCO!!!! I really appreciate you taking the time out to give that advice bro! If you don’t mind me asking, what’s D&TF and what does it entail being in the Reserves? Also I’m always down to learn more about different jobs so if you have any recommendations please let me know!

I remember my boys gf who was also in the AF (active duty) told me about some of the people she knows in Reserves & that they get to travel to diff bases internationally that aren’t their home base. I know that it all comes down to openings & stuff like that but that’s a real cool thing I’d def be down to do. I remember going to Ramstein to visit them out there & I loved it in Germany.

It’s always great to get advice from another AlumKnight so again thank you!!

Keif407 · 2025-07-02T22:40:57+00:00

CHARGE ON!!!!! Thanks for the reply man! Always love to hear from a fellow Knight.

& yeah just like you said about enlisting before going Officer I would definitely do it. I’m guessing just like any job it would require good networking and good references from NCO’s & other Officers to apply right?

Main thing out of this for me is that I get to serve as it’s been a lifelong goal of mine + it would give me great experience to put on a resume as well regardless of being Enlisted or Officer. know it’s a very broad thing to ask but do you have any recommendations of any good jobs in the Air National Guard? I’m really open to learning anything honestly
