LostProphet Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Since I decided to join the Air Force (haha, you mods thought you throw down the gavel on a welcome back thread, didn't you??). Anyhow, I am finally in. I swore into the Air Force Reserve at 12:30 CST yesterday, and am officially a member of the US Armed Forces. [URL=http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/afjobs/bl2a6x6.htm]Click Here[/URL] for a description of what I'm doing....I'm in for 4 years, so theres no bonus, which blows. Thanks everyone for your support in what I'm doing! A1C LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 [color=purple][size=1]Congratulations. Once I graduate highschool, my goal is to join the Air Force. Though I must ask, since you are the one already sworn in, what is the exam like? I've heard it's horrible, the hardest of all the military branch's exams. I was advised to take a bunch of Honors and AP classes to prepare myself for the "big test". Is it really as bad as it's hyped up to be?[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostProphet Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 Its not hard...figuring it's the same throughout the branches and Marines pass it all the time. Just pick up an ASVAB book at Barnes and Noble or even the library. Now, if your going Interpreter or Medical....you'll need to take a specialty test for those jobs. If its medical, study hard. If it's interpretor, go into soemthing you already have a general idea as to what you're speaking, b/c it's ompossible to learn a language fluently in a short period, and thats what you need. Overall, the entrance exam is easy...if you study. I studied for the ASVAB for 3 weeks, and blew it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Macaiodh Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 [color=darkblue]Congratulations, I'm really proud of you. I never would do that myself! You know, the whole "taking orders" thing... I'd probably get court-marshalled the first month.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegitto4 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Actually, they upgraded their entry education limit. It used to be GED, now you need to graduate high school. I know it's not much, but hey, some high schools are hard to get out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
