Talking to an Air Force Recruiter: Ask the Right Questions

March 2, 2017 By larryf

Joining the Air Force because you want to serve your country is a very noble thing. However, this isn’t a decision you should make lightly. In addition, not everybody will qualify and it’s important to know what to expect before you enlist. Here are a few basic questions you should an Air Force recruiter if you’re considering joining.

What are the Requirements to Join the Air Force?

You will need to meet specific physical and mental requirements your recruiter can give you in detail. It’s also important to know there are some age limits on when you just be in basic training, along with officer training and commissioned officer training. The ASVAB will also be an important requirement. You must score a passing grade on this test to get into the Air Force.

How can I Prepare for the Air Force?

This question will help your Air Force recruiter give you the proper advice based on your situation. If you’re in high school, they will probably tell you to make sure you graduate, keep your grades up and stay away from trouble, such as drugs or breaking the law. Taking harder classes will also help including honors English, Math and Science classes.

What Benefits and Opportunities are Offered through the Air Force?

Along with the military pay and basic benefits of a steady income, paid vacation, health care and the GI Bill, you will want to understand all of the possible benefits the us Air Force can offer you. Of course, the benefits may vary depending on the career you choose. Make sure you understand the opportunities offered and what you may qualify for when you enlist.

What can I Expect from Air Force Boot Camp?

While this may not be on your mind yet, it should be a question you ask. Boot Camp will introduce you to military life and a basic understanding of what to expect will help you decide if the Air Force is right for you.

Boot camp or Basic Military Training will last eight weeks with four to five days for processing not included. It will test your physical and mental limits with work outs at least three times a week including plenty of running, pushups and sit-ups.

Can I become a Pilot by Joining the Air Force?

Not all Air Force members are pilots. However, those meeting the strict vision requirements may enter into the undergraduate pilot training program. Most pilots are officers and compete for pilot training slots.

The Air Force is one of the branches of the U.S. military you may be considering for the next step in your life. Whether you’re still in high school or ready to join one of the branches of military immediately, it’s important to gather all the necessary information first. Asking these questions, along with any others you might have, will help your Air Force recruiter give you the information you need to make the right decision for your career in the military.
