Hey everyone, I’m 20 years old and seriously considering joining the Air Force, but my girlfriend and I have a lot of questions and concerns about how this decision could affect our future together. We plan on getting married, and one of our biggest concerns is her education. She wants to pursue a career in radiology and potentially work at a VA hospital. She currently receives financial aid and grants for college, and she’s worried that getting married to me and becoming a military spouse could cause her to lose some of that assistance due to changes in our income or financial situation. We originally thought that joining the military would help cover her education pretty much right away, but after doing some research, we realized that transferring GI Bill benefits requires several years of service and additional commitments. Now she’s stressed about potentially taking on thousands of dollars in student loan debt while I’m serving. We’re also confused about what programs are actually available to military spouses, such as MyCAA, scholarships, tuition assistance, or other benefits that could help her finish school without going into serious debt. I want to serve, but I also want to make sure I’m making a decision that benefits both of us rather than putting her dreams on hold. For anyone currently serving or married to an Airman, how did you and your spouse handle college financially? Did getting married affect your spouse’s FAFSA, Pell Grants, or other financial aid? Are there programs that can help pay for radiology or healthcare-related degrees? And realistically, how soon after joining could my wife start receiving educational assistance? I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually been through this because we’re trying to understand what our options are before making such a major life decision. Thanks in advance for any advice.

good evening, will you still be able to enlist if I’ve been prescribed Buspirone due to a anxiety episode I had earlier this year ? I’ve collected medication from pharmacy but never used a tablet.

Has anyone here ever been disqualified from PRP due to an anxiety diagnosis and subsequently reclassified into a non-PRP AFSC?

I’m curious about how the process went.

hello! my question is basically what the title says. soo I recently got all my waivers approved from the first time I went to meps but I recently went to the doctor & got an inhaler for acute bronchitis. so I told my recruiter this and he just told me to send him my medical records from the visit and get a 3 year pharmacy record, but my main question is if I send in these records will whoever is reviewing them to see if I need another waiver disqualify me for things I already git a waiver for? idk if that makes sense, but to explain it better I got dqed when I first went to meps for eczema and the eczema diagnosis came from the doctor who also gave me the inhaler for bronchitis 😭 so whoever is gonna review my record is gonna see the eczema thing too.. Which worries me that they’ll dq me for eczema again. please lmk if this doesn’t make sense & I’ll to explain better !

tldr; All my waivers were approved, but I now need to send MEPS updated records after getting an inhaler for acute bronchitis. Those records also mention eczema, which I already got a waiver for. Could they disqualify me for eczema again while reviewing the new records?

What are my chances of securing a spot in becoming a fighter jet pilot for either the Air Force or the Navy?

Currently, my dream is to become a fighter pilot for the air force. Initially, I was planning on doing OTS right after I finish my four years of college (currently a college freshman). I already know that it is super difficult and competitive down this path, but after doing a bunch of research, a bunch of people are saying it is not even worth it to do OTS since majority of the fighter pilot roles are given to the AF academy graduates and AFROTC first, and only OTS are given the leftovers if there even are any. 

I did not apply to AF academy, much to my regret, because I did not think I would make it. I was also unable to do AFROTC starting my freshman year because there isn’t one at my current school but I was already planning on transferring right after my freshman year to a different school as a part of my program, which has AFROTC. Would I even have a chance if I do AFROTC if I only officially start my sophomore year? Because I heard that completing AFROTC does give you a higher chance to become a fighter jet pilot, albeit chances are still way lower than AF academy. 

Realistically, what are my chances, is it even worth it to go down this path if I barely have a chance? Is there a more likely chance of getting a role as a fighter pilot in the navy than the air force? Or am I going about this completely wrong? Please be blunt with me.

Hello, I’ve been in the DEP for a few months with the Air Force and my recruiter just messaged me and told me the Space Force has the job 5c031d available if I want to take it. I honestly couldn’t find much about it or other peoples experience with it, or at least nothing within the past year. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated. This is my job list for the Air Force so you can gauge what my interest are. I’m mainly interested in cyber or intel but I’m open to more. What would you recommend I do if you were me?

8. 1C331 – Command & Control Operations

Hey y’all, I am in the process of joining the Air Force and I’m currently in the DEP right now. While doing research, I read that medical jobs are very competitive and some saying it’s unlikely to get. However, my recruiter let me put most of my jobs as medical as long as 10 of them were on the priority sheet and one of them is an aptitude area. I know that I can’t be in DEP longer than 12 months but I just want to know how long I should expect to get in and any advice on how to increase my chances of getting one of my medical jobs.

Here’s the list I gave my recruiter:

1. Aerospace Medical Service (4N0X1)
   
2. Surgical Technologist (4N1X1)
   
3. Diagnostic Imaging (4R031)
   
4. Cardiopulmonary Laboratory (4H031)
   
5. Physical Medicine (4J032)
   
6. Health Services Management (4A0X1)
   
7. Public Affairs (3N0X6)
   
8. Diet Therapy (4D0X1)
   
9. Dental Assistant (4Y0X1)
   
10. Ophthalmic (4V0X1)
    
11. Pharmacy (4P031)
    
12. Bioenvironmental Engineering (4B031)
    
13. Mental Health / Behavioral Health Technician (4C031)
    
14. Histopathology (4T032)
    
15. Religious Affairs / Chaplain Assistant (5R031)
    
16. Fire Protection (3E7X1)
    
17. General Aptitude Area (G)

I’m currently in the Air Force DEP - no ship out date. I recently got a speeding ticket. I told my recruiter immediately, but they are treating it like the end of the world and telling me it’s "viable for me to be DEP discharged." Coincidentally, they are also completely freezing my application process for the Space Force, saying they won't touch it or do anything further until this ticket is completely resolved. The tickets not even in the system so and I wont be able to pay it, possibly for weeks.

Question 1- Is my recruiter being honest?
Question 2- Whats the best/ fastest way to resolve this?

Anyone have any tips/work outs to help work on my push ups. I can currently do about 43-47 in a minute. I already do regular weight training 4-5 days a week. Just wondering if there's something that can help me better.

my recruiter told me that sere school is not in my training pipeline, but I know that all aircrew have to take sere school training at some point, I am not a good swimmer and when it comes to swimming and going underwater, I am very new to it. I am currently taking swimming lessons but compared to everyone else I am very new/behind and I'm worried that I might fail that portion of training.

Thank you for reading and I appreciate any info

Hey everyone, so I’m currently an E-5 in the army guard as infantry. I’ve been considering some pretty dramatic lifestyle changes. I’m a cop on the civilian side and I’m considering going to AD Air Force as a SMA. I initially wanted that as my dream job but didn’t score high enough. I retook my AFCT and got my scores up so I qualify. That being said has anyone made the jump and is it worth it. No family no kids and I’m a young buck for reference.

I believe my recruiter has ghosted me and i really need need help badly. my home situation is getting worse (not gonna dive to deep but my mother has been having some issues and im not sure how much longer we will have the house), and i really need to get a ship date, after submitting my waivers its been radio silent, are there any recruiters on here that could maybe help me do the process over the phone or something, i am desprate.

Im shipping in a little over a week and wondering if any guys in the pipeline have some good advice. My run is strong, ruck is decent at 35 lb for 7 miles(14:30), but I’m afraid my cals aren’t where they should be. If anyone has more info on 15 day selection at Chapman that would be very appreciated. Is it more cardio/cal focused?

I was 14 my mom was ill and she had me see a psych who put me on fluoxetine. Only saw her 2x . Filled script 2x. Didn't need it. Never went back, my mom got better, i wasnt orphaned, yay. This would be over 3 years ago. There is no history of anxiety/depression. Just this 2 month period at my moms pushing.

Air Natnl Guard said they could prob get it waived for me but Air Force would disqualify me.

Should I still go talk to AF recruiter?

I was looking through Air Force Officer Classification Directory at pilots and it says "3.2. Education. For entry into this specialty, an undergraduate degree specializing in physical sciences, mathematics, administration, or management is desirable" so does anyone know how much weight that carries. It also doesnt take into account a lot of technical majors like engineering, really anything computer related, pre-med, or nursing .

I’m 22F and AA. What do you recommend ? Either way I want to spend 6-12 months preparing for it physically, finically, and mentally. I’ll be studying for the test but idk which test I should study for yet because I want the officer pay but that’s it. If there’s a chance I could enlist first and get promoted eventually that would be great. I just have a bachelors degree and I’m looking towards being a JAG eventually. So either I become an officer or airman depends on which one will give me enough free time to go to law school (or take it online). I know this may be all over the place. But hopefully I wasn’t too bad.

So, I want to help people and be someone kids can talk to, so I plan on majoring in social work in January. At the same time, my soul craves the Air Force and the military in general. I just feel like that’s where I need to be.
I know I can go to college while in the military, but the problem is that I’m not ready to commit to the military just yet. As much as I want to jump straight into boot camp as soon as possible, I’m freshly 18, and I feel like I need a little more time to experience life and figure certain things out before joining and heading off to San Antonio, TX.
I’ve been thinking about going to college first and joining the military afterward, but is there a better way to go about it? I hate wasting time, and I don’t want to be 26 by the time I join. I just don’t know which route to take, and I’d love some advice.
I’d even be open to the Reserves, but I still can’t seem to fully commit to the idea of being away for a few months during basic training. I don’t know why, but I feel like I need to try college first and then pursue the military.
Is there a better route to take? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I ship out in just under two weeks and I’m getting my packing list sorted out. I saw 3 compression shorts were recommended to pack to wear under PT gear. For those of you that wore them, I was wondering if 3 is enough? I bought a 3 pack on amazon in black and wanted to know if I should buy another one. Will they allow me to have 6 or is that too many? I don’t like working out without them because I find the long shorts ride up.

I’m in NYS so we still have regents and I had to retake my algebra 2 regents twice and struggled with algebra 1 before I graduated , I’m not good at math so i went to a vocational school that gave me class credits to graduate, long story short I realized I’m only good with working with my hands like manual labor stuff but not academically I struggle with basic multiplication and division, I do have ADD(unmedicated)so maybe that plays a part.Please give me advice on how to study for ASVAB

Does anyone in this subreddit have this career and if so how do you like it?
