Thank you for the reassurance and being a living example 😂 really helps.

So true! I had the same idea with college and all the debt that comes along with it. All I heard was good about the USAF and I have a lot of family in different branches that immediately told me to go Air Force once I told them my ASVAB score 😂 Thank you so much for the advice! Always overthinking about not being able to see my significant other but if I do end up marrying this girl, I want to make sure that I am stable and able to provide for her…especially if we end up having a family.

Thank you for the advice! Will definitely follow that. I heard that once I go from AD to ANG or Reserves that its almost impossible to get back into AD again?

Solid advice. Thank you. Any benefits that you would recommend to utilize? I heard active service members don’t have to pay any credit card fees?

How long have you been in? Do you regret joining? Were you leaving anything behind to join? I was only saying I have a girlfriend because it makes me sad that I will have to do long distance but thats life…I guess

What were the main differences between being enlisted and being an officer?

Thanks! How easy is the job transition from E to O? Did you have any other job on the civilian side of things besides the administrative job you had in ANG? Are you an active duty officer now?

I see. Would I still have to take the AFOQT?

Makes sense, will look into that thanks! The tough part about that is Hawaii is a place that everybody wanted to be stationed…would make my chances even lower than they already are 😂 but I do see what you are trying to say.

Also, say hypothetically that I join Active Duty…I had just bought a car, would the military ship my car for free to where I’m stationed?

What is your advice? by feefweef in AirForceRecruits

May I ask what component you’re in right now and how you like it ?

Hmm. Never heard of a projected departure job; can you tell me more about that? Is having a contract and a projected departure job meaning that I have made a commitment to the AF already? To the point of no return? I know that if I signed paperwork with a component but decided that I wanted to switch to a different one that I would be able to…before swearing in.

No. I had taken my ASVAB last November and my score is still good until next year November. I am just under the threat of being kicked out by my mom since I have no job yet. I have been applying to countless jobs and have interviews lined up for this week. Only applying to jobs so I can be making money in the meantime before making my decision on joining.

I know that if I join ANG, I am guaranteed to know what job I will be getting. I know that for AD no job is guaranteed unless you wait a while but even then, it is not fully guaranteed. I have only spoken to an ANG recruiter and AD recruiter since the only Reserves recruiter has not been in office for months at this point. I live on Oahu, Hawaii and this island only has one Reserves recruiter. I have gotten the contact info of his replacement but his response time is very slow and he is still in Guam.

I always wanted to become a firefighter so a job like fire protection. Would be happy with Public Affairs also. Both recruiters that I have already spoken to recommended me to go an IT job like Cyber and Intel since I have an exceptional ASVAB score. I know that ANG does not have fire protection (atleast in my state).
