1-2 years!? I graduated from college May, 1979. I left for OTS around second week in October. Class 80-03. I was at a small annex near Lackland. It was called Medina. No way I would participate in this process and basically put my life on hold for 2 years and still not get accepted. But I joined at a unique time that the Air Force had a lot of officer openings. I would not do it today. FYI. The rated OTS trainees went to a small base near Lackland 6 weeks earlier than non-rated trainees and received their PPL for FREE. But just another of the endless hoops needed to complete this program.

Why wouldn’t you do it today? Just because of the delay?

Is it possible to go straight to AFOQT before meps medical? Also I’m getting tossed around to get my application started, any advice for officer reserves ? Positions are rarely available and slim chances for non rated positions due to covid pullback. However I just want to start to take the AFOQT, my nearest officer recruiter is 120 miles away.

Any ANG or Reserve recruiter is a little hard to join they dont care if you join or not so you must chase them down. Active is opposite recruiter will chase you lol

Does the airforce do 24hours duty? Such as charge of quarters or staff duty? Just curious 🤔

@brohughes Год назад

What happens to people who get selected as rated officers but then fail the flight physical? Do they get kicked to the curb or become nonrated officers subject to the needs of the service?

They never respond bruh😑

@samwithyouehieverything6383 7 месяцев назад

There is a reason veteran suicides are at record levels and none of the services can make their recruiting goals.

@sharinaross1865 7 месяцев назад

Those facts scare me. As well as climate change.

@Eljefe5948 Месяц назад

that's post war side effect. 😂 How you gonna commit suicide when you are an officer and making good money

@paolafenollalgines7166 Год назад

Hello Elias Barry! Great video, it was very helpful. I’m a year away to finish my MBA and I would like to start my process to commission as an officer. What are my chances to choose the career I want at the Air Force? (PA)

@Brian-ro7st Год назад
