im currently about to finish with my bachelors in December but im thinking about to going into airforce reserved especially since i have a son im not mentally ready to leave my son and I won’t get all the benefits but i still can make sure my son is secure
Thanks for the information this was good to stumble upon.my questions now is ,I just graduated with a BS in Bio and I do wanna go to med school,I was considering reserve but I’m new to this officer thing you talked about in your intro,why is it better to be an officer also what’s the commitment because I still definitely don’t wanna be active duty.Also tried to find ur IG no luck
Joining the reserves, but most of the officer recruiters saying I wont be able to become an officer because of traffic violates, and though I have a bachelors degree my gpa isnt the best.
@@honesto8457 Not yet me and my recruiter still looking for jobs. With the reserves it depends on what jobs are available on base around you, so just still searching
How do you handle going to ohio while living in Michigan for drill weekends? Do you just drive hours away for the weekend or does the military accommodate with you a place to stay
Well it’s not that bad it’s only a 2 1/2 hour drive away!! But yes your unit accommodates handles paying for your lodging with an on base hotel!! Hope this helps :)
Hello to answer your question I am not an officer I am enlisted. But it is very competitive to become one well at least in the Air Force. But you just need to know the right people to talk to that can help you reach your goals in becoming one. Hopefully this helped!!
Yes i believe they should if you are married but i would contact the VA office to be sure but yes the gi bill and tuition assistance covers graduate degrees :)))
I knew I wanted to join the Airforce the other options I didn’t consider at all. But I chose the reserve over the guard because it’s what best fit my situation at the time and the reserve recruiter answered and helped me faster than with the air national guard.
I am enlisted and it’s not too bad so far it definitely comes with a lot of challenges and hard-work but overall at the end of the day it’s worthwhile.
@@Animal_Lovers_USA meps was definitely easy going not as hard or scary as people make it out to be. Just a normal physical. I also took my asvab before I had attended. also.
I think it’s depends honestly with me since I’m reserve I probably wouldn’t change my base to be honest since it’s the closest to home but I know the process is not that easy to do. I know if you do get married to someone that’s already in service you would probably be able to get sent to your partners base but I’m not sure as a single person. I hoped this helped :))
I’m 26 and I’ve considered joining a few times but i’m so undecided between the Reserves or Active Duty. I want to go back to school but I don’t have a solid stable career 🫠
Looks like we’re all in the same boat lol, I’m trying to decide between Air reserves, Air National guard, or Navy reserves but also thinking about active duty while trying to get back into school for tech and also aviation but I also kinda wanna do something in healthcare 😅 😭
@@Djswagg0 if you do nursing the Air Force can definitely help ! It’s definitely a hard decision but there’s so many ways you can enter the Air Force , could be after or before school
@@Raniekaa yeah that’s the thing if you’re willing to grind it out then it can definitely be beneficial even if it’s just for a short term contract but I’m thinking about sticking it our for the long haul(retirement) because of the benefits I could receive but 4 years ain’t nothing compared to 20 years lol 😭
All the reasons you mentioned for joining is why I want to join. This makes me feel more at ease that my plans will work out.
Ohh wow I’m so glad my video gave you the right perspective to join!! Goodluck with everything!

That is awesome! I wish him the best of luck! And thank you.
You seem like a very focused individual 💯
Thank you so much I appreciate this comment and I definitely am trying to become more focused 😁
@@Kiaraaleema keep going you got this ‼️
Thanks for making this video. I’m planning to crossover from Guard to Reserves I’m currently a craftsman on the guard side.
Good luck
Best of luck!
I’m Air Force veteran and my daughter is a college volleyball player… I sent this to her! Good job young lady🎉
Thank you so much sir and thank you for your service and I hope the video will be of help to your daughter 😁💪🏽

I like your name as a type of positive reinforcement. 🤙

I'm in talks with a AFR at the moment hopefully I'll get accepted 🙏🏾

What was your score on the Asvab and what you use to study
I would look up practice asvab test to study for the test!! Or even get a tutor depending on what kind job you are trying to get.
Hi Thanks for this info!
So if I score the highest I can i be anything without a degree such as therapist?
@@SunshineQuan yup you sure can!! You don’t have to have a degree just do really well on your asvab test!! :)))
Wow you got passed mhs genesis good for you that’s alone is killing recruiting all over the country
Huh ??
@@Kiaraaleema mhs genesis at Meps it’s disqualifying a lot of people unfortunately
@@Talib-904 the health requirements yeah I bet that process takes so long especially if you are over the age of 18.
Joining the reserves, but most of the officer recruiters saying I wont be able to become an officer because of traffic violates, and though I have a bachelors degree my gpa isnt the best.
Oh ok well the reserves is still a good decision! Your rank should be closer to a staff sergeant since you do have a bachelor’s degree good luck 👍🏽
@@Kiaraaleema Yeah I wanted to do active duty i was given a rank of E3, but I couldnt get the job i wanted, so i went reserves instead, but thanks.
@@Rooot-usernamedid you get the job you want?
@@honesto8457 Not yet me and my recruiter still looking for jobs. With the reserves it depends on what jobs are available on base around you, so just still searching
Im 34 and I'm thinking of joining but i feel im to old
I just started the process , I take my test next month
Oh congrats goodluck!! :D

@@Kiaraaleema oh ok thanks, can we become mutuals
I have a bachelor’s degree. Can I join the reserve part time as an officer?
Thank you!
Yes you can!! Just talk a recruiter about it.
Yes, but harder path coming off the street into an officer position. Most reserve and guard bases fill officer jobs internally
I’m in Ohio I’m about to join
Hi, did you have a high GPA? I was reading that it’s super competitive to become an officer. Was it an easy process for you?
Hello to answer your question I am not an officer I am enlisted. But it is very competitive to become one well at least in the Air Force. But you just need to know the right people to talk to that can help you reach your goals in becoming one. Hopefully this helped!!
My Ldr partner is in training right now, please how often can he send/receive letters?
They give us time every weekend we get to send out letters!! Every day when we have time we can write letters on our own time. I hope this helps:)
Does Air Force Reserves have housing benefits like the Air National Guard and does the GI bill cover graduate degree?
Yes i believe they should if you are married but i would contact the VA office to be sure but yes the gi bill and tuition assistance covers graduate degrees :)))
@@Kiaraaleema Thank you so much! :)
Why did you choose Air Force vs Army reserve vs Air national guard. I’m starting to really regret army reserve honestly 😩
Army sucks
You can switch
I knew I wanted to join the Airforce the other options I didn’t consider at all. But I chose the reserve over the guard because it’s what best fit my situation at the time and the reserve recruiter answered and helped me faster than with the air national guard.
@@Kiaraaleemathank you for answering ❤❤❤
Do you deploy as reserve?
Yes you deploy the most being in the reserve :))
So are you a reserve officer? Or did you enlist? How do you like it so far?
I am enlisted and it’s not too bad so far it definitely comes with a lot of challenges and hard-work but overall at the end of the day it’s worthwhile.
I’m af reserve to how fast did you ship to bmt after meps.I just got finished with meps
Does meps hard??
@@Animal_Lovers_USA meps was definitely easy going not as hard or scary as people make it out to be. Just a normal physical. I also took my asvab before I had attended. also.
What if you want to move.. do you kno if the process is difficult to change base to new state?
I think it’s depends honestly with me since I’m reserve I probably wouldn’t change my base to be honest since it’s the closest to home but I know the process is not that easy to do. I know if you do get married to someone that’s already in service you would probably be able to get sent to your partners base but I’m not sure as a single person. I hoped this helped :))
I’m 26 and I’ve considered joining a few times but i’m so undecided between the Reserves or Active Duty. I want to go back to school but I don’t have a solid stable career 🫠
Same here!! Im so undecided with air guard or law school , law school is so hard! & air guard could possibly help? im like all over the place..
Looks like we’re all in the same boat lol, I’m trying to decide between Air reserves, Air National guard, or Navy reserves but also thinking about active duty while trying to get back into school for tech and also aviation but I also kinda wanna do something in healthcare 😅 😭
@@Djswagg0 if you do nursing the Air Force can definitely help ! It’s definitely a hard decision but there’s so many ways you can enter the Air Force , could be after or before school
@@Djswagg0 I’m considering Active Duty now. 4 years of my life won’t hurt maybe I’ll be in a much better position in life..
@@Raniekaa yeah that’s the thing if you’re willing to grind it out then it can definitely be beneficial even if it’s just for a short term contract but I’m thinking about sticking it our for the long haul(retirement) because of the benefits I could receive but 4 years ain’t nothing compared to 20 years lol 😭
I like your story, i work in aviation and my passion is joining airforce, can I enroll without degree or diploma at age above 35
Yes you can
Hey !! How long is the bmt in reserve
It’s the same as everyone in the Air Force 7 1/2 weeks long
I have an Associates degree
Good for you :))
Did you have to get the covid vaccine?
I already had it before joining so no but they will give you all kinds of immunizations and shots and vaccines while you’re there!! So maybe :))
@@Kiaraaleema Thank you 😊 I also wanted to know do you think I can join with a 5 month year old child?
im 29 am i to old to join?
No
@@idontknow4592 thanks
@@VST2323 gotta be at most 42 i think
@@DianaFeng-mg7vi ok thanks for the info.
Na bro just do it if you want the max age limit is 35
Next time you should script these. Very disorganized
It could’ve been a bit organized better but in spite of that it was still good information that was presented well so thumbs up 👍🏾 to sis 👏🏿
@@Djswagg0 thank you :))
@@HighMagnitudeGT I did this off the top of my head
@@Kiaraaleema I know I could tell. Please make an outline next time
@@HighMagnitudeGTstop being so rude
Why dud you chose Navy over air force sis?
The navy was never an option for me so I didn’t choose it over anything I knew the Airforce was the only military branch for me from the jump :))
