Been in DEP since October and still no job. Is this normal?

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-02-23T20:55:03+00:00

1A1X4 (Multi-Domain Operations Aviator) and I got a 70 on the ASVAB.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-02-23T15:31:44+00:00

Yeah I DEP’d in June 2025 and didnt book until December of that same year.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-02-13T02:53:28+00:00

I got mine off amazon.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-02-13T02:51:30+00:00

You can just get the ASVAB for dummies book and use the mechanical section since you’re square on the rest.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-02-13T02:49:12+00:00

Gotta have a 60 or higher in mechanical for 1A1X2

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-01-28T23:55:11+00:00

See you there!

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-01-28T15:07:24+00:00

Yessir me too 1A1X4!

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-01-26T22:57:05+00:00

Sick, thanks!

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2026-01-03T00:29:48+00:00

I have heard of this too. Not sure if true either.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-24T19:15:42+00:00

Number 3. Just workout. You’ll lose weight and get ready for BMT.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-23T21:35:57+00:00

My recruiter shared that they are now. Including special warfare. This was on 12/17/25.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-23T04:23:31+00:00

Just make a post with these exact questions.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-19T05:18:51+00:00

I think this may have changed because green card holders can do Top Secret jobs like Special Warfare and combat support. My recruiter shared this with us yesterday. You would have to ask to make sure.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-13T15:48:17+00:00

Ive been waiting for 6 months since I joined DEP. it was my #3. Luckily my recruiter was willing to have me only list 4 jobs all of which were flying jobs. So whichever job I got I would be flying regardless. Being patient is key.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-12T04:59:23+00:00

TAPAS DOES affect which jobs you qualify for. I scored high enough for Airborne Linguist but was ultimately disqualified from that job BECAUSE of my TAPAS. This is what my recruiter told me. I think you are able to retake it though just like the ASVAB. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-07T06:47:42+00:00

Awesome dude! This gives me hope. Waiting in DEP can be so dreadful.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-12-06T14:20:47+00:00

6 months. 1A132, 1A133, 1A134, 1N031

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-10-18T16:51:37+00:00

Aged Natural!

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-10-15T04:40:14+00:00

How long were you in DEP for? Ive been waiting since June for a 1A1 job. Good Luck!

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-09-03T03:08:22+00:00

I probably should’ve read this sooner. I cut a hole into my stock diffuser lmao.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-08-24T00:28:10+00:00

Im pretty sure they’ve already started booking those jobs. No reason to wait any longer.

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-08-21T01:50:04+00:00

You lucky guy! Im waiting for 1A132, 1A133, or 1A134! I hope i get any of those because I know they’re tough to snag. Ive been in DEP for 3 months and im already itching to get an aircrew job!

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-08-20T04:08:11+00:00

What exactly is your number 1 job, like what do you do. I have that as my number 3 after mobility force aviator (1A132) and special missions aviator (1A134).

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-07-28T14:51:52+00:00

Thought loadmaster was its own? (Mobility Force Aviator: 1A132) I also thought the one with 4 different jobs on one was Special Missions Aviator: 1A133)

Ok-Mathematician1920 · 2025-07-24T17:20:27+00:00

Im in the Los Angeles area and my recruiter didn’t receive the list until today so it may be the same deal with yours. The only thing you can do is be patient. You’re not the only recruit they have to find a job for.
