These are my scores. I honestly don’t know what the scores mean. Especially for the complex reasoning test I had to take.

All in all though very surprised I got a 90. I had to take the EDPT the following Wednesday. And had no time to study for that as all my focus was on the ASVAB. Needless to say I scored a 44 on that because I ran out of time and didn’t panic bubble the remaining questions.

Give all this what are my options and would it be more beneficial to go to the Air Force or Space Force?

Im finishing up my associates in March and planning on finishing my bachelor's after (im being optimistic about everything being on time). Now my big thing is my bachelor's is not the same as my current AFSC so im assuming id have to switch is switching hard?

I'm 20 and have been waiting in Air Force DEP since
February. Joining the Air Force has been a dream of mine, but I also have an opportunity to study abroad in Japan from May to June 2027. I don't want to give up on the Air Force after waiting so long, but I don't want to miss Japan either. What would you do in my situation?

Does accreditation matter? I graduated from US nationally accredited college recognized by the US Department of Education.

I (19F) want to join the Air Force, but as of right now, I don't meet the height and weight standards. I would need to lose some weight to meet them. Every other standard, I think I will be fine. My question is: should I still reach out to a recruiter to get the process started, or should I lose the weight first and then reach out?

For those who flew to BMT, how did you manage the TSA liquids rule? I know you’re technically limited to one quart-sized bag for liquids in your carry-on, but I have enough toiletries to fill at least two bags, which should be my maximum. All of my liquid products are within the TSA’s 3.4-ounce (100 mL) limit individually. Did anyone bring two quart-sized bags and have any issues getting through TSA?

Second, what did y’all use to wash yourselves at BMT? Washcloths, loofahs, bath sponges, exfoliating gloves, or something else? Were any of these provided, or did you bring your own? And if you brought your own, how did you keep them clean and dry between showers? Did you wash and reuse them or buy replacements at the BX?

Just left my DEP workout and had a massive reality check on my cardio.

For context, I'm not out of shape at all when it comes to strength. I'm in the gym lifting pretty much every day, locked in on my diet, and usually do standard cardio after my lifts (StairMaster, Incline walking) . At the DEP call today we did 40 pushups and 15 situps and that part was light work.

The problem is we did a .55 mile run and I was fighting for my life after. My legs weren't sore or heavy at all, I just couldn't catch my breath for like 10 minutes after we stopped and got super lightheaded.
Clearly the StairMaster and lifting aren't doing anything for my actual running stamina. For the guys who lifted a lot before shipping out but had zero aerobic capacity, what's the best way to fix my breathing over the next few weeks? Do I just need to suck it up and jog slow for 20-30 minutes a few times a week, or should I be doing sprints/intervals?

Been looking at different branches of the Military and I wanna go airforce. But based off of my research the only branch that will accept me is the navy.

I just graduated and am wondering about the phases at DLI in Monterey how long are they and can you accelerate them

Currently choosing jobs to send to my recruiter. I have around 8 so far. I was wondering which health jobs from the list is good inside and when you get out.

Does anyone know when people leaving for Sam Houston leave on Friday (tmrw)

hello everyone! Can someone please tell me all the jobs that came down in October please?

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone with more insight or who has gone through a similar pipeline can help me sanity-check my orders.

I recently received my official orders, but the timeline seems a bit out of sync with what I’d expect for my AFSC (Radio Frequency Transmission Systems, 1D7X1R). Here is my current schedule:

BMT Start: November 10
BMT Graduation: December 30
Tech School Start: January 6
Tech School End: March 1st

This block from January 6 to March 1 is roughly 8 weeks, which doesn’t seem to line up with the standard full length of the RF Transmissions Systems tech school pipeline (96 days online).

I’m currently waiting to hear back from both my recruiter and my unit leadership, but things are moving a bit slow on their end.

Is this the case because my tech school has multiple phases and I need to graduate each individual phase? If that is the case is it problematic that my orders only show the first phase? Or is all this just a common administrative glitch?

If anyone has been in a similar boat or knows how this pipeline is structured, I’d really appreciate your input!

I am a green card holder with a Masters degree in computer science. I scored 93 on my actual ASVAB test and was told to shortlist top 10 jobs where I had finance jobs / Medical job options on the list. It’s been like 3 months now and I got a call to join SERVICES. I am greatful for everything but bit confused like should I take it and go towards officer route and cross train later on. How long will it take to lean towards officer route? And extra information will really help me navigate through the future plan.

Recruiter is telling me there are not much job options right now and not much job positions are opening anytime soon.

I had a PAC interview scheduled earlier this morning, but never received a call from them. I made sure to check my spam folder and call filtering and nothing has came in. I reached out to my recruiter but still waiting to hear back, anything i should be worried about.

I was so pumped up as well because I got the score I needed for my job, still happy but sad because I hit the back of some poor bloke's car like an idiot.

I took a practice test at my recruiters office and scored a 72, so I was a bit upset when I saw my actual asvab results. I’d prefer doing mechanical work on aircraft’s or some sort of mechanical work for the aerospace. Will my scores make it difficult to accomplish this?

20F, and debating on joining the Air Force or Space Force. I currently have my associates degree, and should I decide to continue schooling, I will have a BA in the next two years. I am aware that enlisting now will secure an e-3 rank, but if I continue to pursue education, I could obtain a BA and potentially commission. I’ve heard that it may be challenging to be an officer in the AF due to its competitive nature, so I’d appreciate any advice.

Thank you.

When reviewing my qualified jobs paper I saw that I qualified for 1D735 but not 1D7X1. I looked up the scores needed for 1D7X1 and saw that I met the requirement. How come I didn't see it on my paper if I met the score for it?

Hello! I am in the process of commissioning into the air force as a public health officer. I finally have my interview scheduled for this upcoming Monday. This is the last thing I am needing to complete before submitting my full application for the board. I wanted to see if anyone has recently completed their interview or if anyone recalls what their interview was like when they completed it? any tips and information is appreciated!! My recruiter did mention it all depends on who interviews me but I like to be prepared and would like to get an idea of what to expect. Thank you !!

anyone else getting shipped out on october 19th?? lmk if there’s a gc i can join!!

Im planning on getting married 3 weeks before my ship date, is it possible to get my status changed at bmt or meps the day I ship?

I'm in the first year of a two-year Master's program. I have considered serving since high school, but I signed an athletic scholarship to run XC and track, and then transferred for my final two years of eligibility because I finished undergrad in 3 years. Is it worth reaching out to a recruiter now, or will they most likely tell me to come back when I am almost done with my program?
