I'm still in the beginning of my Air Force journey. Getting in shape, studying for the test, finishing my bachelor's. I have to say, this was one of the most informative and encouraging videos from someone in the Air Force in my opinion. If this guy was my recruiter, I would definitely trust that he knows what he's doing and can absolutely lead future airman and guardians in the right directions. Great stuff👍🏿

As a Civilian dependent, anr being a wife to an Air Force member, my husband and I both suggest Medical Jobs , such as BMET , Biomedical Equipment Repair Technician. School is provided by the AF and transfers to the Civilian hospital in any state. The Pay and Benefits are amazing.. Also, if you are in the Military they might deploy you to a where you will set up field hospitals and Equipment for Medical and Dental. I went to college for dental so no matter where we were transferred I immediately went to work because dental field is in demand. Also great pay, hours, weekends n holidays off. Also check to see if you can qualify to be a Physician's Assistant, ( PA) . AIR FORCE has a school for this and it will qualify you after retirement to work under a Physician with , Benefits, and Holidays off. I would demand the occupation of my choice since the Military recruits are way below what they should be. Good luck to all of you .

Just for anyone who was scared of the asvab, take it from men, who was in the same boat. It’s super easy, albeit I took the PiCAT(online asvab). I recommend light studying of general science, math, algebra, reading comp if you’re not good at it and then some more serious studying into basic mechanically operations and electronics. Basically don’t sweat it, read the questions thoroughly, and don’t second guess yourself.

Retired AF veteran. IMO the best jobs that crossover to the civilian sector and pay well are. Contracting, Logistics, intelligence, Financial Management. These are jobs that there are a lot of Civil Service opportunities that pay well. If you get one of these career fields in the AF make sure you get all certifications you can and get your bachelors degree that the AF will pay for. Once you have that, these jobs are plentiful in the government after you leave the Air Force.. Most are GS-13's that pay well over 6 figures.

Good video. Remind people to talk to a recruiter. They go through hours of training to be able to explain exactly how the ASVAB is scored. For example, the General Score and the Admin score are the two scores that determine your AFQT. You take the G score and add it to Twice the A score and divide by three. That’s your AFQT. Best way to improve your AFQT score is to improve your A score. There is I much more to qualifying for a job in the Air Force. The ASVAB is only the first step and, frankly, one of the few the applicant has control over. Also the job selection process is not as easy and straight forward as people think it is. Is a complex system that changes all the time. Only an active recruiter knows what happening at any given time.

A lot of questions have one or two choices that are obviously wrong so just read through all your options and eliminate what you can to heighten your chance of getting it right. I feel this tip especially applies to the reading and grammar sections. If its been a while since you've been in school then make sure you touch up on math. Even just going over the steps of long division and multiplication because theres a couple questions that have you working with fairly large numbers and trust me I kinda choked a little when I realized you had to juggle some big numbers on pen and paper but luckily my memory didnt fail. basic geometry too like right triangle theorem and being able to calculate areas. Maybe touch up on a little basic chemistry too. Then theres the mechanical and electronics sections that arent necessarily conventional knowledge so I would definitely look into them if you arent too familiar with things like workshop tools and like engine parts. Very simple things though nothing too unknown. I have little experience with engines and workshop but I was able to get the answers just from what ive picked up in life. I didnt personally use any study sources but im sure theres free online resources that will benefit you immensely. Get a good nights rest too of course, dont underestimate the effect of a groggy mind on your test taking ability. And good luck bro.

My asvab is an 85, and I'm in the process of signing up. The biggest thing for me is that I want to travel, so that is the primary determining factor for what job I choose. I have already done my physical, but I have yet to sign any contracts.

My brother is a meteorologist in the Air Force lol. Very strenuous tech school but a very fascinating job. He’s been in for two years and I am about to schedule a date to go to meps.. my recruiter sent me the afqt and he says, “it’s a meaningless practice test just take it as many times as you”. What’re your thoughts on this matter? Is there anything test wise I need to make a note of?

What are a few jobs you’d recommend are the best for transferring back into the civilian sector that will provide a stable income? I know there’s a few mechanical jobs as well as security forces and fire protection. Just want to see if there’s anything else i may have looked over? Anyone got some good suggestions?

Hey David! Yes, some jobs which immediately come to mind are of course security forces, mechanical jobs, and fire protection, but some others include Contracting (which lines up nicely with corporate merchandising and finance), Personnel (which lines up with HR, which all companies have), and Administration (which lines up with innumerable entry-level business job opportunities)

You only need a 33 to be in security forces. And your recruiter can tell you what else you already qualify for. But just study and do more practice texts and get your score up to qualify for more variety of jobs. You can’t beat the benefits such as 401K, free college, free medical & dental, rations for food and housing; plus travel. You will love the Air Force.

Your score is not permanent. When off duty people study and test for their next promotion. Chiefs are always willing to help recruits move up the ladder plus you will know people who have goals that are similar to yours. I flunked algebra twice in high school and twice in college. I hired a tutor and eventually got through it. I sailed through calculus and lots of statistics courses once I got through algebra. I earned a B.A. in Accounting.
