WHY I'M JOINING THE AIR FORCE 2020 | ENLISTING WITH A BACHELORS DEGREE? | ENLISTMENT VS COMMISSION 

Girl yes! I don’t wanna be that broke college student anymore! I want to do PA school but I am NOT getting into any more debt! I feel you! I’m going army.

I’m enlisting with a degree for the same reason...time!! I needed a financial waiver which took a minute. Currently at the hotel going to MEPS tomorrow

I’ve been in for over 2 years and have my bachelor’s in Spanish & my masters in social work. I chose to enlist because I knew that being an officer was a huge responsibility & I wanted to get experience under my belt so that I can be a more well rounded LT. Plus I need to obtain my clinical license to continue to work as a social worker in the Air Force. The Air Force will allow my do to get my clinical supervision hours for free. That would’ve been very hard to get clinical supervision for free if I was still civilian. Also, I know my limits & know that retiring as a captain would be the best option for me.

I'm glad to see somebody recognizes the real lol The best officers who transition from enlisted to officer status makes the best officers.

Laughing so hard at the not being broke after college, hence why I’m watching this video hahahaha

same, the more I stay in my degree, the more I feel like I am burning out on whatever interest or passion I had for it at the beginning of college. I am debating between enlisting or commissioning after finishing my bachelor's degree.

I enlisted in the AF in 2016 as a Pharmacy Technician with a Bachelor’s in biology (immigrant from Jamaica, wasn’t a citizen at the time), took the AFOQT in 2017 (failed it terribly. Ahahah!). Deployed to Afghanistan in 2020, then got off active duty in 2021 and switch to reserves. Got accepted to Pharmacy school in 2021, commissioned through HPSP and going back to active duty as a pharmacist in 2024. Nothing wrong with enlisting with a Bachelors (I learnt so much that propelled me to go to pharmacy school). Just always have a goal and stick with it. The AF (military in general) has various opportunities, so work with what works for you.

What a beautiful, gentle voice you have😁

Apply for OTS, and I mean ASAP. Nuff said.

Hey Alisa! Thank you for your time and insight on joint the Air Force. I have a question, can you opt out of vaccines and if so are religious exemptions accepted?

So you may or may not see this but i am a junior in college and I’m wanting to join the USAF and i had a question. If you were to go the officer route would you still do basic training? I know things have changed over the years.

I’m enlisted and I have 2 degrees working on my BSN now. I’ll hit Staff before I commission as a LT! Cause I need all my coins 🤣 also for the people who keep saying go to OTS right off the bat. Ma’am don’t do that you’ll get experience as enlisted first. Then go officer cause these Rotc kids/civilians act like they bout to run stuff cause you’re an officer. Please 🙄

Bachelors** I know when you have all caps, it does autocorrect

for me I’m 22 and about to get my bachelors in Marketing, I took my AFOQT and failed the English section but passed everything else fine. I have no ROTC experience and now in this bubble of thinking to join the military maybe in an enlister route or try to be an officer in another branch or use my marketing degree and find a job.

Will they accept people who have a non-STEM degree?? I have a BA and MFA in writing, but I really want to join the AF over the Army or Navy.

Hey Alisa I am literally struggling with the same decision right now. I know this was made 2 years earlier but I’m going through the same process. I currently have my bachelors but my gpa is 2.9, I still have 30 lbs to loose and have been debating on enlist or officer… I also want to get my doctorate in PT but do not want to pay as I already have 25k to pay back for undergrad. I’m struggling girl, what advice do you have knowing what you know now?

Update: I just got my date Jan 26th

What do I need to study for the air-force Asvab

Can you pursue a second bachelors degree through the air force? Like could you take advantage of tuition assistance (TA) while on active duty and use the GI bill when your contract ends if you got a bachelors degree before enlisting in the air force?

Amazing vid

You are aware that the U.S. Military pay scale is an unclassified document ... and if you took the time to look at "the numbers" it would become blatantly obvious that commissioned officers make a substantial amount more than enlisted personnel. Yes, with extra money comes added responsibility ... but we're talkin' "Chair Force" here. I hate to be pessimistic, but ... you sound somewhat fragile. You may possibly get drummed out of Chair Force enlisted training. I didn't want to bruise any egos by referring to as "boot camp" or "recruit training" ... I wish you all the luck in the world with your decision. However, I don't know many enlisted personnel who were ever able to pay off student debt from college on E-1 to E-5 pay. However, I could be wrong. Best of luck to you. USN (ret.)
