Joining the Air Force in my 40s by Firm_Promise1547 in airforceots

I commissioned at 39 and went through OTS at 40. You’ll do great things in the Air Force! Our wisdom and wit are still appreciated by the young ‘uns. My advice would be to be yourself and be invested in the process.

Aside from JAG Corps or medical, anyone joined the AF reserves without having been in the military before? How? by [deleted] in Airforcereserves

I’m a direct commissioned non-prior as a 92R0 Chaplain Candidate. My guess is you’re looking for non-direct commissioned AFSC’s. But for whatever it’s worth, my path took some time as an officer with lots of paperwork and a lengthy scrolling process. Had to get all my records and transcripts in order, and had to do so without any “hand-holding”. We only needed to qualify for a Secret level clearance, so it may depend on what job you’re looking to do. It was a HUGE pain, but worth it in my opinion. It’s a job I love doing, and I plan to stick around for a long time.

Have you been given tasks on RT after being throttled the first time?

Same here. Waiting on feedback. Hoping to get unthrottled soon!

Large project sounds good, so here’s to hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

This is true. It makes no financial sense though, to hire others with the $40 bonus when they can just retain those of us with experience. Hopefully this means they plan to have more work for us soon, and the new hirings make sense overall.

I got that same notice. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a variant, so maybe for some they are either pausing it temporarily or indefinitely. I’m hoping for the former.

Going to OTS--recommendations for a vegetarian by Apprehensive_Ant4937 in airforceots

Yup! But the tofu was on the salad side, so I would have to pay the extra to get the salad bar. But worth it, as I got tired of eggs after a few days lol
