No, you are dropped for performance as well, voluntary withdrawals and injuries are just a larger percent of drops because they beat you so hard before you even get to those evolutions.

Read the SF86 linked in the OP, it lists literally everything they will ask. If you did do some criminal shit or use drugs in the past they won't deny your shit as long as you're honest about it, trying to hide stuff is a red flag while honesty is a good look.
As long as you actually do have references to put down you'll be alright, ignore this fag >>62039607. Plenty of weirdo loner people have clearances, my whole fucking unit is full of them.

>>62039663
>im a dual citizen so i have filipino contacts but i was born in USA
This might be an issue. You can get a clearance with a dual citizenship but it's likely going to extend your process. If you are applying to something which deals with SCI or SAP you might not be able to get it, depending on the specific program/agency setting the rules there.

>>62039689

They don't like that it makes it hard to verify anything but that's what I was doing

They NEED a "complete life" if they can't verify then it's a no go even if you are a good person

I did this at OCS.
What happens is that you get a millisecond to decide whether you want your dignity or your #1 billet.
>>
>>62040934
Probably, but you should reach out to your local detachment just in case.
You really should have been doing AFROTC the whole time, it would make reaching your goals easier. OTS/OCS is available to you and you should hopefully be a competitive candidate but I honestly don't know how selective the AF is about that kind of thing right now.
Worst case, consider going Navy or Army as they also operate massive intelligence commands. You could also enlist in the reserves or Guard as an intel MOS/AFSC/rate and then try to network at your unit and try to get a job at an agency, though this should be your last resort option.

Welp got my scores back on AFOQT and did decent on everything but quantitative, which I flunked. Got below minimum to even qualify. Now I have to wait 3 months now in order to take again which sucks. I will likely have to get a job as well since I am out of school but maybe my parents will let me get away with another three months unemployed. I think my biggest issue was not enough practice tests and running out of time. Any tips on doing well on it? What resources did you use to improve your score?

Your local library probably has some ASVAB study guides tucked away somewhere, those would be a good place to start.

Half the duties of an Air Force recruiter is to trick 18-year olds into going maintenance. Telling a recruiter you actually want to be a jet mechanic might cause him to cry tears of joy.

>>62040842
>Where would I most likely be based at?
Intel units are basically everywhere.
Of the locations you listed, Dayton (Wright-Patt) is the only one with a large Air Force intel presence. I can't remember why that schizo said Eglin is a glowie operation. If you're really curious, Wikipedia has a lot of the locations for intel units. That doesn't cover special assignments and intel guys embedded in other units, but the Air Force is really bad at combined operations, even in their own branch, so those are pretty rare anyway, especially for officers. And obviously it's missing many units, but you get the idea, it's a good start.
>>
>>62041248
I got a 47 on the APT after studying for a week. Should I even bother studying more? I feel like it will end up the same even if I did. I always did poorly in school.

I just got out of the airforce after ELS-ing cause they tried to fuck me over with this maintenance bullshit. Just wanted to chime in and say, everything this anon says is true about the airforce. They are basically just people collecting a paycheck(nonners) and the workhorses are mostly maintenance guys being overworked constantly, paid shit, and all the other military bullshit.

As maintenance you get none of the benefits that come with being in the airforce. Maintenance gets no days off, if the birds need to go up, then you're launching aircraft or receiving and repairing and doing inspections.

It's decent if you're into that kind of thing, but understand it's not a glamorous job and you're going to be in a rotten toxic environment and want to move on with your life in the shortest amount of time possible.

This was all after washing out of special warfare, and they reclassed me to maintenance, which was a bullshit process, the ATAF MTL's got article 15's for pushing people's info through to get reclassed fraudulently, not according to their dreamsheets.

I know this because I and other airman contacted congress over it and had a investigation. Their official response was bullshit.

They fucked me and many other good airmen over for nothing. And when caught out on this they didn't accept responsibility. Their attitude sure changed after I told them I refuse to train.

Not even lying, that scared the ever-loving shit out of me when I read about it. I'm in DEP waiting to ship on an Open Electrical contract, I have a good ASVAB score (98) and I'm dead set on getting a decent job but I'm really open to literally anything in the category. It was the only jobs my region was booking that fit me, they really wanted me to go 1N but it didn't interest me. I'm here to get certs and experience and then move on. Any tips for me while I'm booking a job in BMT on an open contract? Open Electrical is pretty restrictive, really only 33 careers available and there's a decent chance of me getting one I'm looking for (2W131).

I heard the military is desperate nowadays. Would this allow me to get a waiver for shit like BPD/bipolar/OCD? I lose my shit under certain situations and am currently heavily medicated but I'm sure I could handle the military. People screaming at me or being shitty/retarded is not what gets under my skin.

I think the military would be a great way to reform myself, which is something I desperately need. I'd specifically be interested in humint/35M.

I've wasted a lot of my life doing nothing and I feel a compulsion to make something of it. I just want to know if I finally have a reasonable chance of joining with a waiver with the military needing people.

Yeah bro haven't you heard about McNamara's morons? Basically military people just fucking pretend it's an important and honorable job but realistically if there is an actual need it's anybody that has a pulse.

So people acting like it's honorable and high standards are literally doing so under the pretense that they aren't actually needed. If they were, there would be no standards. So wait, like, a few more months.

I handle most kinds of stress really well actually. The kinds of stress I would anticipate from the military do not bother me and I probably do better than most normal people under those kinds of conditions.

It's basically just certain issues that make me not normal anymore. The kind I wouldn't expect in the military.

The real question is do you want to work for an employer that selects via pseudoscience. Always a bad sign.

you may not even understand how to study but if you do you can absolutely improve your score significantly. You may also not understand how to take the test properly, e.g. you're spending too much time on certain answers and not picking up gimmes

It's a social litmus test. If you can make it, they expect you to lie. If you lie and can't make it, it's a pain in the ass for them.

I live in Northwest Florida and while I can confirm glowie shit happens at Eglin all the time (see NASA testing their "Bi-Directional Aircraft" in broad daylight 2 months ago) most Intelligence stuff seems to be at Hurlburt Field (with 4 different Intelligence Squadrons under AFSOC based there).

Wright-Patterson in Dayton seems interesting because of the specific USAF Intelligence presence that you mentioned (I'm guessing because that's where NAIC is) and because the USAF museum is there and I know I can autisically sperg out there in my free time.

Elmendorf in Anchorage is very interesting to me because I love Alaska (I've vacationed there multiple times specifically for its outdoor activities) and because I am interested in if my Russian language skills would be the most useful here since (at least what I can understand) the 381st' main mission is intercepting Russian communications from the Russian Far East (despite the fact that the base's "Elephant Cage" circularly disposed antenna array was decommissioned in 2016.

I know that there are plenty of other Intelligence Squadrons at plenty of other bases all over the place, but I was curious if every different Intelligence Squadron had a different mission focus or if I'd generally be doing the same thing just at different places?

tHe bESt wE hAVe

I suggest a quite simple whole-brain hypertrophy theory for mental illness, where each part must possess a degree of hypertrophy relative to each other region and issues can exist in permutations of differing degrees of atrophy by region, and this can be directly addressed in most cases by proper living of a life

Enlisted get a dream sheet to put their preferred bases on, and then magic happens and they get an assignment, which they hopefully like. The memes say the dream sheet doesn't matter, but in my experience it worked pretty well.

Anyway I heard officers get an actual say in their assignments. They list their base preferences ("I like Alaska"), skills ("I speak Russian and shit"), career interests/goals ("SIGINT is best INT"), apply to open spots, interview for the positions, and then they get picked by the gaining unit commander. Or something like that. I don't have any first-hand experience with the process, I was an enlistoid.

I would think that people who join the navy would at least initially enjoy the novelty of being on a ship. Joining the army looking for brotherhood and being screamed at by a 24 year old sergeant after completing both basic and ait would probably be disappointing.

I knew a guy that scored 4 and was devastated. He had his heart set on the military. I went to a military school in Kentucky for teenage criminals. The majority failed the ASVAB. Many couldn't read.

To be fair I've adopted some mental gymnastics to make it okay. See, you can't quantify actions but you can quantify tax dollars. So as long as I'm low income I contribute very little to evil. Civilians pay more taxes than soldiers.
>>
>>62045950
Tax dollars don't actually fund anything; they're just a method of keeping people from being able to move up socioeconomically. That's why the middle class pays more in taxes than the ultrawealthy. Everything the government does is paid for with dollars just made up out of thin air by the treasury. It's all just numbers on a computers. It's fake. The whole system is fake.
>>
>>62045961
>The important thing here is that the Federal Reserve does not dip its hand into a pot of “tax dollars” to pay military contractors, nor is it required to check some mythical account where tax dollars live before it wires the money. In fact, that account doesn’t exist. As former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke once noted, when the government pays for things, it is “not taxpayer money. We simply use the computer to mark up the size of the account.” Alan Greenspan, Bernanke’s libertarian predecessor at the Fed further clarified, “There’s nothing to prevent the federal government from creating as much money as it wants and paying it to someone.” The implication is that if Congress can pass a bill that requires some form of spending, the Federal Reserve can and will spend that money without limit, as is the case with the military.

In your case, you could just pray their records aren't archived somewhere. Even if you do get caught, as long as you do your job as best you can and your command doesn't hate you, you'll probably get an ELS or General discharge.
>>
>>62046041
You also assumed wrong.
>>62046038
Literally mental gymnastics lmao. The amount of money a person is taxed has literally no relation to how much of the government they fund, because taxes don't fund the government. They are separate things.

But you're also still technically wrong, grow up and accept the distinction between observed and unobserved.

No, I'm not. Taxes don't fund the government. It has nothing to do with what's being observed or not.

We know how the economy functions. It's not that complex. It's not some mystical force. It's designed to funnel money into the hands of the people who control the economic system, and all of this stuff is completely out in the open. You come off like a child who just learned a few new words and thinks he's an expert on something.

You just have to be really really stupid. We had an ASVAB waiver in my basic platoon. He got like a 24 but they still took him because they needed the bodies. Whenever he talked to me his eyes were just blankly staring out into space. There was nobody home. I had never talked to the guy before and he just went up and said hey bro and talked about some porn he watched online before basic. I didn't think people like that existed but you see them in the army.
>>
Unhinged schizo here. Fuck the promotion system. I explicitly signed up to do this one job, not fuck around in some kind of revolving door where every position is just a way to prepare myself for another position which will pad out my NCOER so I can promote and do the same shit over again. I don't fucking care about EOL, VA, SARC, master driver, MRT, or any of the other fake ass additional duty assignments which take away time and energy from my actual fucking job. I don't fucking care that the Army expects every soldier to want to become a CSM one day or to care more about promoting than their actual duty position. Fuck all this nonsense. 7 in 7? How about you wipe the taste of 1SG's asshole off your tongue.
>>
>>62046183
>He didn't take the master driver/gunner pill
It's a bit of a pain in the ass because you get some responsibility, but it gets you out of the sharp, mrt, ammo, eo, armorer or whatever bullshit you could get slapped with and gives you a pretty decent amount of autonomy. You don't even have to do it alone I asked my commander if I could borrow one of the specialists that had done the stryker leadership course as an assistant and he went with me every time.
>>
Trying again. CTR or CWT as a reservist? I have a relevant degree and I just want to volunteer for as many MOBs as possible while I do online classes for my masters. End goal is to go into contracting/defense. From what I've been told CTR will provide me with as many voluntary mobilizations as I want while CWT is a bit more limited.

Good score, you'll be fine whatever you pick but this thread is for midwits who can only get in because of the waiver system. Consult your recruiter.

After taking the ASVAB, my Army recruiter told me I’m selling myself short by wanting to go Infantry. Did I get one of the few recruiters that actually cares or is this some kind of 4D chess on his part?

>says "I never said that"

Mutant here (avionics on Phantom and Bronco, engines on F-16 A/B/C/D/CJ then merged into crew dog).

If you are a real gearhead who truly loves technology (for example all your hobbies and interests are related including cars/trucks/motorcycles, and metalworking you'll be fine if you're not a pussy. Maintenance is not for people who don't wrench for fun. Not even joking. They cannot hang because it's just a job to them. OTOH there's a personality type who are completely unbothered by the work and the hours and take to it naturally.

The smart play for maintainers is join to do 20 at least. You'll be doing some sort of work either way and federal retirement is worth killing for. Anyone not retired hasn't a clue. After vesting there are plenty of career options if you choose not to suck and properly human network as an SNCO or officer. All my SNCO bros did well. I fully retired (back problems) which is fine too.

Best systems to work are those which will last for two careers, not just one. Do what lazy fucks do not and make frens with AFETS and company tech reps because they're fountains of info. Airlifters and drones are both solid choices.

I rank avionics above engines and engines (but not much) above crew chief but promotions are faster in the crew dog world so you can exploit those who cannot hang. If you are totally insensitive to everything you'll do fine. If you are sensitive and high strung do not defile my Air Force with your faggotry because sensitives suck to work with and not in a good way.

Aircraft Metals Technology is highly desirable but usually fills up with people who have prior experience. Small field so slow promotions but aviation metalworking beats the civilian machinist world and they work out of backshops not flightline AMUs.

If you like wrenching ONLY pick aircraft related jobs. Avoid SecFo, Transportation (if it doesn't have wings or rotors you don't want it) and any paperpushing AFSC.

Thank you for your contribution bumps to the thread.

It actually isn't but I was able to get my A&P as an engine troop. Remember many G.I.s would complain if they were having an orgasm. I preferred the flexy maintenance schedule as many do.

You'll have many long shifts but it's generally easy to get the shift you prefer. Fill your dream sheet with nothing but overseas bases. Korea is large fun. I tried for Japan but others beat me to it. Germany rocks as does any little hole in the wall tenant unit in NATO that's low viz.

Whatever you tell the interviewer should match what you put on your SF86 and what your references should say.
If it doesn't you might still be okay, I know a dude who lied about weed use on his forms and came clean during his interview who eventually got his TS and poly but that was due to his character and the decision of his adjudicating authority.

>guilt-free out of spite

Why don't you just do it now? Why have guilt for playing the system that played you?
>>
Why do people look shocked when you tell them how much being in the military sucks?

Or when you tell them the good solders are the ones that keep getting fucked over so they get out?
>>
>>62052816
Dude, I was at a family get together one time and my brother in laws sister was there, and she was trying to con her son into joining the military. She found out I was in, and tried to use me as a recruitment tool. The look in the face of the dumb bitch when I told him how much of a fool he would be for joining in this day and age, and all the other bs that comes with it had this women looking like "how dare you insult the military!"

Stupid civilians, bro.
>>
>>62052730
They treated me pretty okay actually, except during COVID but that wasn't the military's fault.
(But it was a fault of the federal government, where the VA gibz come from so hmm, you've got a point)
>>
>>62052974
Duing covid was one of the worst times in the military for me. But it hasn't exactly been great as a whole anyway.

The same federal government that pays private snafu 750 every 2 weeks, that also pays 120000 a year to the guy watching him work on motorpool Monday. And the same federal government that gives endless billions to every other country on earth while private snafu lives in moldy barracks.

bullshit
every damn CO and anyone else had the choice to call out career politicians on their bullshit, some did and most didn't, fuck them.

The ones that did ended up like that marine major and lost everything they did in their 20+ year long career.

Signs you're going to a shit duty station:
>people say it's great for "hunting" and vague outdoors stuff but the closest mountain or national park is more than 4 hours away (bonus: no public land nearby)
>people tell you "the place is what you make of it" or "you get out what you put in to it"
>people tell you to avoid the town right outside the gate
>housing is unusually cheap
>closest major city or place with things to do is multiple hours away
>"oh [unit] isn't that bad don't listen to the rumors"

Fort Carson was the worst duty station I have ever been too. None of those things applied.
>>
>>62053536
that's the whole point of his responsibility

>>62053919
I thought Fort Carson was pretty cool (I was stationed at Buckley and went there for Fourth of July once and haven't been back since)
>>
I really want to join the space force but it sounds like the only jobs available are the kind where you sit at a desk for 8 hours and I already do that in my civilian life.
Do they have any outdoors stuff like the other branches? If so I'll go sign up right now.

>>
>>62053603
you show up and the guy you're supposed to replace tries to kill himself the next week, and the guy before him also killed himself. Everyone sads out after you leave.
Granted, I don't think it was my unit as much as the leadership above the unit.

K. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

If you're in 1st brigade it is beyond ass. I was there for 4 years and hated every second of it. Fort hood was a major upgrade by comparison.

Having worked closely with both, 100% Marines. Outside of a few pockets of excellence, the Army is easily the dumbest branch, they truly scrape the bottom of the barrel, the average soldier is stupid as hell. There is a reason Forest Gump was hailed as a "genius" at Army basic training. Marine bases are in WAY better places too.
>>
>>62043727
>>62054571
Probably less opportunities to go to Sniper School or Special Forces in the Marines vs. Army. Raiders probably don't get as much action as Green Berets either.
>>
>>62055894
Let's be fair SOF should be counted independently of branch
>>
So I don't have to get vaxxed to join anymore, right?

I don't understand why you're asking a question when you already have the answer in front of you.
>>
>>62048123
I get what you're saying but I feel like you should just join the Brit military and get into one of their cool guy units if you're looking to boast
Joing American Marines as a Brit when you could have joined Brit marines doesn't look good because Brit marines are cooler than almost all the American marines
>>
>>62056412
That is tricky since the usaf likes to muddy the waters by referring to jobs like tacp as "special warfare."

is bradycardia (heart rate below 60) a disqualifier? i got disqualified at MEPS for having a heart rate so i did the exercise and eat healthy meme but now my heart rate got too low…
>>
>>62056642
high heart rate*
>>
>want to join the army
>look at the unit i want to join's facebook page
>there are women in the unit
>half of the guys are overweight

man...
>>
>>62056642
No such thing as too low. ~50 resting heart rate means you have decent cardiovascular fitness. RHR charts say 50 means athlete level, but I had a rhr of around 50 not long ago, and I wasn't anywhere near an athlete.
>>
>>62037475
Is "Pilot" the best job one can have in the Amerifat Military? Is it hard to get?
>>
Why is the military in a recruitment and retention crisis.
>>
>>62055894
>>62056412
Exactly. If you are 100% prime Grade-A all-American, both fit and intelligent, the Army is the place for you. The "pockets of excellence" I mentioned previously are the best in the world. Outside of that however, it's awful. Fat retarded mutts everywhere. USMC has retarded mutts everywhere too, but you almost never see fat ones. Marines had less criminals, and cartels seem to target the Army exclusively. Army SOF is perfection but the Army is a very, very large organization with tons of fat outside the muscle. If you want to do 4-and-out as a grunt, go Marines.
>>
>>62057221
I know that feel bro, I wanted to join the Australian Army, but there are chicks in combat units now and now I'm not so sure
And I just bet all the males are like "they're just as strong as us" and "they're valued members of the team" et cetera like fuck off they kill the vibe

I’m fat, addicted to food, and stuck in an endless loop of “starting tomorrow”
>>
>>62058258
if you lost that weight, and got in shape (enough to meet the entry requirements), would there be anything else stopping you from joining the military?
>>
>>62058269
I don’t think so, I had asthma as a small child, but I think it was just being a fat kid and my mom claims I was never diagnosed. That was over 10 years ago, 22 now.
>>
>>62058181
This. I can confirm the army is a joke. Joined in shape, with high aspirations, got fucked over my entire first contract, was convinced reclassing and a new duty station would fix my woes.

>it didn't

Got fucked over on my reclass, pay got fucked for over a year, finance refuses to fix it, I'm now 6 years deep, stuck as an e4 since 2020, gained 40lbs since 2018, and just counting the days until I'm out and can burn the single uniform i have left because they lost my household goods when I pcsd back from Korea. Fuck the army.
>>
>>62058278
Do you think the possibility of still having asthma is stopping you from getting started? For instance, tomorrow comes, and you say "today's the day I start working out", but then in the back of your head you think "but I might have asthma, so why bother" - is that what's stopping you? Also, how badly do you want this?
>>
>>62058278
Don't join the military. Especially at that age, dude.
>>
>>62058299
No, that is not stopping me. I don’t have asthma anymore, I’m just fat, and suffer from lack of will power.
>>62058331
My options are very limited at the moment. I’m living with family and working a shit job, every day the existential dread of getting older and becoming more of a worthless loser sets in a little more. The military seems like a good reset button for my life and possibly a career.
>>

dont listen to this idiot
i joined at 33
follow your dreams

No imagine all of that, but with the heel of the government on your neck. Because that's exactly what it's like.
>>
>>62058394
At least I would make my family proud.
>>
>>62058359
You are exactly the type the military preys on. You'd fit right in as cannon fodder for the bankers, corporations, and politicians that need their status quo upheld. They'll make billions while you're stuffed into a modly 10x10 barracks room with at least 1 other person for $750 every 2 weeks.
>>
>>62058413

They're only "proud" because they saw saving private ryan, and all the other propaganda movies and video games that make it look cool and righteous.

Why are you even in this thread?

The same reason you are. To talk about the military
>>
>>62058442
Why are you so salty about the military? Were you in?
>>
>>62058432
my guess is a /pol/tard who wanted to join (because of the aforementioned post-9/11 propaganda), but never did and wasted his years gaming and getting fat, but the thought never went away so he comes here to troll
>>
>>62058450
I indeed am. I only have 2 month left.

If the military was so great they wouldn't be in a retention and enlistment crisis.

Healthy young man goes to 4chan, gets stomach filled with junk food and doesn’t exercise. Gets fat and seethes about military - OBESITY. Many such cases!

Join the Air Force if you want a career. Joining combat arms is stupid as there are no wars on.

Joining the Army was always stupid.

>>62058664
That's silly. The American public are too stupid to serve without compensation. Grow up, shoot your inner child in the face then choose coldly.
