A real mechanical engineer ? Or a mechanic? Engineering is not your technician type work you did in the military, mechanical engineering requires a bachelors degree, the degree has 5 calculus classes and 4 physics classes etc, if you are an actual engineer, how did your job experience in the navy translate into engineering.? Would you recommend choosing electronics technician for engineering in the civilian world?

@@BuyBack93 like he said, he’s a mechanical engineer, not a mechanic… yes we know that the military experience is mostly technician and maintainable but it’s valuable experience towards mechanical engineering because they teach you mechanical/electrical principles. Use that knowledge and you can earn a bachelors easier than someone out of high school and then transition into a technical role. I’d definitely recommend going an engineering route in the civilian world if it is within your qualification. They get paid way more.

Mechanical/electrical principles don’t necessarily make it easier to get a bachelors in engineering, knowing how to swap out an engine or wire your house doesn’t mean acquiring the engineering degree is gonna be easier for you than a high school kid. And you wouldn’t transition into a technical role with an engineering degree. Just goes to show you truly don’t understand what an engineer does. Im asking him as a mechanical engineering student myself, who is also interested in the airforce.

Depends entirely on your score in the section of service your aiming for. The branches will want you for the highest scores you produce in your initial ASVAB (but retests & other considerations may be applied). Consider: Air National Guard & Air Force Reserve recruiters also. Best is active duty in an AF Reserve unit or an Air Nat'l Guard unit. 😃

I was able to choose my job before going to meps. I did have to wait 7 months for it to come up. I wanted anythign in the IT field, or anything that was flight staff. Scored 94 on the ASVAB. Once the 7 month wait for the job to open up came along, then I went to MEPS. When we hit Week 5 in Basic I got the same IT job that we talked about at the recruiters office. That was 1994. I did my one tour and got out. I'm still in the IT field now. Making good money and living my life. Still if I had it to do again. I would porbably have stayed active for longer and made a career of it. The IT field went up and down through the 2000's. It wasn't always great.

Hey. Thanks for watching. I wonder if I know your recruiter. 🧐 Quick ship basically means you’re willing to do any job. There are people who are leaving to basic all the time and sometimes they can’t leave. They may have gotten hurt or sick or in trouble, and now their job becomes available. If it does, and you’ve informed your recruiter you wanna quick ship, they will call you ASAP upon hearing someone couldn’t leave. They’re also expecting you to take the job that is available. So it has its pros and cons.

Guys, please send me the material to study, I wanna make this happen too,

Good info for the newbies. I entered the AF in 1975. I scored 95 in electronics and mechanics. I had a guaranteed job (Analog Flight Simulator Specialist). However, my job choice was not available at the time so the recruiter put me in the Delayed Enlistment Program for 3 months. That way, my 8-month long tech school (Chanute) would be starting right after I graduated from basic training in Lackland. It all worked out very well. No regrets! The USAF was the right choice at the right time.

I remember back in 1981 when I went to BMT and I think it was either day 2 or 3 I was approached by a recruiter that wanted me to change my career field. Back then he was talking about a new career field that I would be Computer Software Technician.

Most every medical requires a general score of 44. There are other medical careers that have higher asvab scores, but the bulk of them are a general 44. As far as making a video for older applicants, I think I can put something together. Just will have to give me some time. 💪🏽💪🏽

The overall scores haven't changed a bit from the 80's. The lowest score on the ASVB that I received was a 90. What helped me back in the day was my middle school guidance counselor in the 8th grade. Before entering high school, I had to fill out a career worksheet. I put down that I wanted to serve in the military. My guidance counselor gave me study materials for the ASVAB which at the time wasn't all that very much. What I did was break it down by each individual test and went from there. I made my guidance counselor very happy with my result. At the end of my middle school days my guidance counselor gave me a sample test that most or all recruiters give to potential applicants. I made him a very happy man that day, and he said the only thing that standing in my way to join the military was four years of high school. Aim High!!!

There’s all kinds of test math in shorthand words and meanings you have to know everything and you’re timed on the test I’m glad I passed a 98% on it I have a very very high IQ I don’t forget things

I was a Chinese cryptologic linguist in the Navy 30 years ago, and spent my career attached to an Air Force unit in Korea; my daughter is currently a Chinese cryptologic linguist in the Air Force. The Chinese Basic Course at the Defense Language Institute (DLI) is now 63 weeks of instruction. It does work out to spending two full years in training before day one of actual work as a cryptologic linguist, but a year and a half of it is spent at the Presidio of Monterey on California's Central Coast - one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The course is extremely academically challenging (lots of people fail and have to choose another job) but is accredited at 45 semester hours of college credit. A high school graduate who goes to DLI can very easily achieve an associate's degree by the time she leaves DLI, and transfer that credit to a university near her eventual duty station. Off-duty education and tuition assistance means she can complete a bachelor's degree during her first enlistment. I did 30 years ago, and used my GI Bill to go to law school. It really is the best job in the world, and the people I served with were the brightest and coolest people in the Air Force (and the Navy!). The normal job selection advice is not applicable to the cryptologic linguist job. If you want to be a cryptologic linguist and your ASVAB and Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB) qualify you to go to DLI, and you don't have a criminal record or personal issues which obviously disqualify you for the security clearance, you WILL go to DLI. It's very hard for the services to find qualified candidates.

@@haleyl.248 - Do you have any college credit before joining? I have some good news: The Defense Language Institute is an accredited university granting Associate of Arts and - new this year - Bachelor of Arts degrees in foreign languages. Your military service as a cryptologic linguist can earn you, without cost, a bachelor's degree in your target language. That's the best deal around. There is a rub: You must complete both the DLI Basic Course and either the DLI Intermediate or Advanced Course in the target language. Intermediate and Advanced are ordinarily available after your first duty station or in your second enlistment. Basic is accredited at 45 hours for most languages, and Advanced, at least, at 33 hours. General education requirements for the associate's degree are 18 hours, which you can satisfy with transfer credit from work you've already done, new classes at a community college or university, Advanced Placement, or DANTES/CLEP examinations available free at the education center on base. If you enter as a high school graduate with no AP credits, and no college, Basic and Intermediate/Advanced plus some CLEP exams can put you just 24 credit hours away from a bachelor's degree. You can complete 24 hours through off-duty education during your enlistment easy, especially with tuition assistance paying the freight for your classes. Now, I hate to do this to Jody, who is after all an Air Force recruiter, but I have to point out that the other services send students to DLI too. The Navy (and, I suppose, the Army, but geez - it's the Army) is offering enlistment bonuses up to $50,000 if you're shipping soon. You owe it to yourself to understand the bonuses on offer for linguists in all the services, and compare that also to lifestyle. Ultimately, it's pretty much the same because we all end up at the same four bases together. I hope you will make it too, Haley. Thank you for being willing to stand the watch.

If someone is a single parent but has a care plan in place and goes reserve are they able to go active duty? If so, how long after can they change over? Also, when signing the contract is it a open contract or do you know right then what job you’re going to? Or you only know the job after basic training?

I lost 40 pounds to try to apply for air guard. I trying to apply for the guard as I have a full time job in information technology as a IT systems analyst. I’m trying to get in any cybersecurity related field. I take the asvab in a few days. I guess if I don’t get the score I want I’ll try again.

Yes there are science questions. The general science questions are gonna affect how you score on the electrical and mechanical portion of the ASVAB. The ASVAB is the same for all branches. There is no difference in the test. The Air Force just interprets the Line Scores differently than other branches.

What if you take the ASVAB and let's say you got a 60 but you were aiming for at least in the 70's to get the job you want. Can you re-take the ASVAB again? Or is your recruiter gonna go against it and tell you it can be risky because you can get a lower score if you re-take it?

@Jodywithawhy

That’s exactly what they will say. It’s very risky. I actually had an applicant who had a 68. Tried to retest for a 72 and scored a 47. Messed up everything. If you’re not in the DEP, it’s easy to retest. But if you’re sworn in, you’d have to be DEP discharged in order to retest. And that’s why recruiters don’t allow it. I hope this helps.

Hi everyone! I took the ASVAB twice already. First time i took the PICAT & made a 49, went to verify my test TWO WEEKS later & I failed because I got rolled into the real ASVAB. I passed the second time with AFQT 33 & a pretty good score in Admin. Is that a good enough score to get my foot in the door because I’m pretty scared that I would have to take it a third time. I really don’t want to😭

Just got my AFSC yesterday. My first 2 picks were available, but they pressured me to take my #5 pick instead. I score well on the ASVAB and they said they wanted to take advantage of that and give me the job that fewer people qualify for. I ship out in March to be a cryptologic language analyst

Math and arithmetic. Those are what most people struggle on, and the good thing about them is you probably just forgot the formulas. So once you remember the formulas, you can bump those scores up quickly. Also, word knowledge and paragraph comprehension helps a lot too.

Hey Jodi is there a test that you have to take before taking the ASVAB?

I had a friend in the army who got 100 and went infantry

how do you calculate your score if you're doing practice tests via the ASVAB for dummies books or a paper version?

☝🏻Hindsight being 20/20, 30+ years ago I took the ASVAB after I graduated from college and am now curious all these years later what opportunities have changed🤔

My overall ASVAB score was 53. But a few of my line scores were all in the 90’s - electrical, mechanical, and clerical - I’m not sure if I should retake the ASVAB or if this is good enough for the Air Force.

Should I start talking to an air force recruiter at the summer of my 11th grade? Or at the summer of my 12th grade?

I sit down with my recruiter for the first time for the air national guard next Friday. I’m very nervous about the asvab because I haven’t touched math in years (I’m 26). I’m studying some, but it’s coming back to me slowly. My goal is to try and get like a 40-50 in General. I seem to be doing fine on the word testing and paragraph comprehension. I’m mostly just interested in security forces. From your experience as a recruiter.. If applicants put this as their number 1 slot, do they usually get said slot? From what I read it’s a pretty in demand field.

@Jodywithawhy

The guards job process is a lot different than active. If you qualify for security forces (good asvab and physical) they won’t have a problem getting you the job. Active duty normally doesn’t have a problem getting security forces, but it’s still not guaranteed. Good luck

Hi, I plan on joining after I receive my bachelors degree. I want to become a jag officer, something involved with law in the Air Force. What would I need to score in order to be considered for the best job? And also would you recommend active duty as an officer during law school or before law school? Please respond. I have a little over a year left until I graduate.

@Jodywithawhy

If you only have a year left, I’d continue the degree. Becoming a JAG officer doesn’t require an ASVAB. That test is for enlisted members only. Here are the requirements for JAG. www.airforce.com/careers/specialty-careers/jag/entry-programs/student

I have a question, I knew a little bit about open contracts but this video introduced me to more. I scored a 95 in each category (within 1-2 points of 95), and from what I've been told a 95 is the same as a 45, if the minimum score is a 44. However, like you said with the open contract having a tiered selection list based on your scores, it's making me consider going open more so than one of my choices. I have a list of 13 jobs I would like, with my main choices being Enlisted Aircrew, and ATC after that. The other on my list looked cool and I'd be happy doing them, but my #1 is Aircrew. Would you recommend an Open contract so I can get a more competitive selection at Basic because of my test scores, or stick with one of my list of 13, because Aircrew/ATC are rare to get as an Open Contract.

@Jodywithawhy

3 жыл бұрын

It’s still risky. Because let’s say you get to basic and there’s no air crew jobs available at all, then you’d have to pick from whatever’s left. Because you scored so high, you’d most likely get your top pick, but there’s still no guarantee. But yes, while working with your recruiter, a 95 only means you qualify for more jobs. If you and someone who scored a 50 both want the same job, your score doesn’t give you any preferential treatment. Only in an aptitude area does it help you.

He needs to go to college IMMEDIATELY after high school. I’m an enlisted Staff Sergeant. I want to be an officer. In order for that to happen I have to have a bachelors degree (all officers need one). When I graduated high school I thought the only way to get into a college ROTC unit was to have a scholarship. That isn’t true. You can take ROTC as an elective class! After two years of college you can compete for a selection spot. If you make the cut, you’re guaranteed to become an officer after your graduate unless you decide to quit. I wish I would have done that when I graduated high school, but I just didn’t know, otherwise I would be in pilot training as an officer right now, instead of having spent the last five years as an enlisted member. Trust me, if he wants to be an officer, the quickest way to do it is go to college immediately and join the ROTC unit there, compete for a spot after two years, and he’ll be on his way!
