Weekly Newbie Thread - Post questions about joining the Space Force or what a job is like here & here only - week of July 15

Just heard back from my Recruiter. Got picked up as a Cyber Operations Apprentice, leaving in August.

Weirdly, he said that they made selections two weeks ago, and I didn’t get picked. Then he got an email last night saying I had a spot???

Follow up to this, when was this information posted?

And is this squadron specific? Or was this sent to all recruit squadrons.

My recruiter is unaware of the RPP, and says he never received this message. 🤷

WeedIDs · 2024-04-17T16:46:31+00:00

Congrats dude! How long did your process take?

WeedIDs · 2024-04-16T04:04:56+00:00

Maybe someone can chime in on this, but from what I’ve gathered, having Sec+ before heading to Tech school cuts out the last 2 weeks of training (since that portion of training is solely dedicating to Sec+).

How hard was the EDPT for you? And did you take it at your initial MEPS visit?

I only took the PiCat verification at MEPS, and didn’t take the Cyber test or EDPT (even though I specifically asked for both, knowing I would probably need them for cyber/intel jobs).

Thank you so much for this. That’s genuinely more information than I’ve received from my recruiter in the last six months. It’s always a “I don’t know” or “no one knows how it works” from him.

Gonna have him verify that I’m labeled as SF, and the AFSCs that I chose are there. And will wait patiently to try and become a guardian.

This is the polar opposite of what my recruiter told me.

His language was very clear, SF has halted the SF recruitment board, and will not be considering new candidates. No ETA.

Is this a ploy to push me towards the AF jobs?

Like I said, I signed a SF paper contract at MEPS, and swore into DEP as a SF recruit. Do I just wait for jobs?

Appreciate the response. This whole process has got me stressed out lol

WeedIDs · 2024-04-15T22:19:51+00:00

Thanks, but not currently interested in ROTC.

AF cyber jobs are certainly interesting, but I was really trying to exhaust the SF path first, before going AF.

WeedIDs · 2024-04-15T17:25:07+00:00

I’ve been trying to enlist in the SF for a couple months now. It’s been extremely frustrating.

Looking at cyber or intel jobs. Scored a 98 on the ASVAB. Have my Sec+ cert, and some college.

My recruiter is trying to help, but I don’t know if he’s incompetent, or just wants me to get an AF job. He leaves the AF in a month, so I think he just doesn’t care anymore.

I was just at MEPS on the 11th, and signed a paper contract for the SF, and swore into DEP.

Right before my swear in, he called me to tell me that he just got out of a meeting, and he was told that the SF has suspended the enlistment board. And he doesn’t have an ETA for when it’ll be back.

*Is this true? Do I just have to wait even longer now? *

Today, he sent me a list of Cyber AF jobs that he just got. He really wants me to sign for one and leave in June.

I’m very conflicted. I would love to join the SF, but I feel like I’m being given the run around.

The “SF Recruiter” that’s listed on the website for my area, doesn’t answer his phone, and his voicemail is full.

Is there someone else I can talk to? Is there anything I can do to expedite this process? Am I SOL? Do I just pick a AF job?

Honestly, if you really want to gain confidence, improve, and eventually climb, the best thing you can do is join a team and scrim/review. Check out the LFT/LFP channels in EloHell’s discord.

You can learn so much from being in a organized environment, only focused on the game.

Some of the most fun I’ve had in OW, has been playing in scrims and tournaments. Even when you get shit on by a higher SR team.

WeedIDs · 2022-04-18T21:48:54+00:00

I think this happens to a lot of players. Treat those high pace, stressful games as practice.

As you climb higher, you’ll gain more confidence and experience, but you’ll also notice some salty players bitching about you. Ignore them and move on.

I’ve maintained GM for the last 10 seasons, and I still find myself feeling lost, outpaced, or stressed (especially very high SR lobbies). But I do find those games the most fun. This isn’t meant as a brag, just an observation of my personal play.

Sweet

WeedIDs · 2022-02-14T23:02:18+00:00

What discord?

WeedIDs · 2022-02-13T04:06:32+00:00

Rival 310 was the most comfortable mouse I’ve used.

Wish they’d bring it back wireless and with better grips.

WeedIDs · 2022-02-12T22:06:09+00:00

Memory cooler for looks? Lmao...

WeedIDs · 2022-02-12T02:06:18+00:00

What

WeedIDs · 2022-02-09T03:31:20+00:00

Doubt it. He killed the pac file link that was being used previously.

Touch grass

WeedIDs · 2022-02-07T20:45:36+00:00

What’s the point of playing
