HOW DO I GET STARTED?

4 EASY STEPS FOR STARTING MY CAREER IN THE WORLD’S GREATEST AIR FORCE

.01INITIAL INTERVIEW

Chances are, if you received this packet from your recruiter, you’ve already passed your initial interview. During this process, you'll do the following:

PRE-QUALIFY Your recruiter will ask you questions to determine if you qualify for the Air Force.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS	This is your opportunity to ask your recruiter any questions you have about enlisting to ensure you know exactly what the Air Force is about.

PRACTICE TEST	If you're ready to get the ball rolling, your recruiter will administer a practice ASVAB test to determine if you're ready for the actual test.

.02 ASVAB

Once you’ve scored high enough on the practice test, your recruiter will schedule you for the official ASVAB test.

THE TEST	The ASVAB identifies your strengths in various areas to include general science, arithmetic, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, auto and shop information, mathematics, mechanical comprehension, and electronics to help determine which jobs you are academically qualified for.

WHEN AND WHERE IS IT? The ASVAB can be set up at your school or by your recruiter.

WHAT DO MY SCORES MEAN? To qualify for the Air Force, you'll need to score at least a 40 overall on the ASVAB. Each of the Air Force’s four aptitude area scores are also listed to identify strengths and weaknesses.

ARE STUDY MATERIALS AVAILABLE? Absolutely, In addition to the practice test you'll take with your recruiter, your local libraries and bookstores should have practice ASVAB resources. If you visit www.military.com/asvab, you'll find a breakdown of the ASVAB in addition to 6 practice tests; 3 short versions and 3 long versions. ASVAB For Dummies is also a good study source.

WHAT IF I DON’T PASS? After your first unsuccessful attempt, you can re-take the ASVAB in 30 days.

.03 PHYSICAL & PROCESSING

After passing the ASVAB, you'll return to MEPS for processing, job counseling, and DEP swear in.

PROCESSING	This entails an in-depth general wellness physical, drug and alcohol tests, a background check, a medical interview, and a security questionnaire.

JOB COUNSELOR	Your processing information in conjunction with your ASVAB scores will generate a job list specifically tailored towards your qualifications that you and your job counselor will discuss. It is at this point you will get to select a guaranteed aptitude area and list at least 5 job choices.

DEP SWEAR IN	Finally, you'll swear into the Delayed Enlistment Program, or, DEP which is your promise to the Air Force that you're ready for basic training. While you're in the DEP, you'll receive your job title and basic training start date, and check in with your recruiter to answer questions about basic training.

.04 DEP

Congratulations! After swearing into the Delayed Enlistment Program, you’re one step away from basic military training and becoming an Airman in the world’s greatest Air Force.

TSgt Shaina R. Martin 912-501-5362	E-Mail shaina.martin@us.af.mil WWW.AIRFORCE.COM

.01CAREERS

If you have a high school diploma or are about to earn one, a career is waiting for you in the Air Force. Based on your qualifications, you’ll get to pick from following 4 aptitude areas:

MECHANICAL Help keep some of the world’s most advanced aircraft and equipment in tiptop shape

ADMINISTRATIVE Be one of the people in charge of making sure a base runs like clockwork

GENERAL SCIENCE Our careers might surprise you. We need linguists, police officers, medics, and more

ELECTRONICS From spacecraft wiring to air traffic radars, electronic careers make it work

*see www.airforce.com for job descriptions, videos, training schools, and degree plans

.02 LIFESTYLE

Joining the Air Force isn’t just another job to put on a resume, it’s a way of life tailored to cater its Airmen. No matter what job you have, what rank you are, or how new you are to the Air Force, every Airman has access to the following entitlements:

BASE AMENITIES	Each Air Force base is a self-sustained “mini-city” created specifically for its citizens – Air Force personnel. In other words, everything you need to do your job and enjoy your free time is right on base. Most Air Force bases include; restaurants, clubs, golf courses, swimming pools, tax-free shopping centers, churches, schools, movie theaters, hospitals or clinics, recreation centers, parks, auto-hobby shops, bowling alleys, and even on-base hotels where your friends and family members can stay for a small fee.

LIVING QUARTERS	If you are single without dependents, you'll be assigned your own aerospace dormitory similar to a college dorm but without any expenses. You can personalize your fully furnished room which typically includes a full sized refrigerator, microwave, and computer desk and in the common rooms you can catch the game on a big-screen TV, hang with your friends, or cook meals in the kitchen. Your Air Force ID card will provide you with unlimited food at any dining facility Air Force wide. If you do have a dependent(s), you'll be given a monthly food allowance and either live in base housing free of charge or be provided a housing allowance determined by the housing rates for your duty location.

TRAVEL	It’s hard to disagree that, at some level, everyone likes to travel. In the Air Force, you'll earn 30 days of vacation with pay every year not including weekends, federal holidays, down-days, and off days a generous boss might provide. During your free time, catch a HOP on military aircraft for a small fee or stay at one of thousands of military resorts all over the world. Check out www.afvclub.com to see if there's a resort you’d like to visit.

SPORTS & ACTIVITIES Not only are sports and activities fun, it’s our job as active duty Air Force members to remain physically fit. For this reason, almost every base provides world class gym facilities to include: golf courses, volleyball, basketball, football, swimming pools, running tracks and trails, weight lifting rooms, cycling and aerobics classes, squash courts, outdoor equipment rentals, and bowling alleys. To foster teamwork and camaraderie, you can even play with and against your peers and supervisors by signing up for on base intramural sports leagues.

FAMILY When you join the Air Force, you become part of our family. You commit to something bigger than yourself – an understanding support group that’s second to none. Your spouse and children will become just as important to the Air Force as you are which is why most base amenities include: k-12 schools on base, child development centers, childcare programs, aid for special needs, medical facilities, parks and playgrounds, recreation centers, swimming pools, and of course, 24/7 security forces base patrol.

.03EDUCATION

Education is the essential framework of your success in the Air Force. From exclusive colleges and universities to technical training and hands on experience, you’ll have every opportunity to ensure your education never stops during your enlistment.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF THE AIR FORCE (CCAF)	The Air Force is the only branch of service that has a community college built right into its curriculum. As soon as you enter Basic Military Training, you're automatically enrolled in the CCAF where you'll earn college credits towards your associates degree of applied science in one of five career areas. Because the CCAF is regionally accredited, you'll be able to transfer those credits into the college of your choice, ensuring your education is never put on hold. For more information, visit www.au.af.mil/au/ccaf

TUITION ASSISTANCE	Whether you're interested in a specific certification or earning a Master’s degree, let the Air Force take care of your college tuition. Currently, the Air Force pays up to %100 (up to $250 per semester hour equivalent) of the cost of tuition with a limit of $4,500 per year with classes available on base, off base, or by correspondence (online).

THE POST 9/11 & MONTGOMERY GI BILL	These bills provide up to 36 months of benefits that may be used for degree and certificate programs, undergraduate and graduate programs, flight training, books, supplies, monthly housing, and may be transferred to spouses and dependents. Because these bills last up to 15 years after your separation, you can finish your school after separating from the Air Force. For more information, visit www.gibill.va.gov.

MORE EDUCATION	Aside from civilian institutions, the Air Force offers a multitude of training programs to secure the futures of each Airman. From enlisted commissioning programs, to on-the-job technical training, to world class leadership schools, it’s hard to separate from the Air Force without a stunning resume.

.04 YOUR FUTURE

The Air Force could be the largest stepping stone of your life. See how your enlistment can help you accomplish your future plans and goals.

SALARY You will be paid on the 1st and 15th of every month via direct deposit while you are being trained and earning college credit in careers that transfer to civilian jobs . Your pay increases with rank and time in service and you'll also receive a yearly cost-of-living increase, an annual clothing allowance, and may also be eligible for COLA (cost of living allowance) depending on your duty location.

THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN	Similar to a 401(k) investment plan, the TSP allows participants to place a portion of their monthly pay into a tax-free account that grows over time. You can enroll in the TSP at any time and roll into an IRA or other employer’s retirement account.

RETIREMENT After just 20 years of service with the Air Force you'll receive half of your base pay salary at the time of your retirement plus full medical benefits for you and your spouse for the rest of your lives.

INSURANCE Upon arriving at Basic Military training, you and your dependents will be immediately enrolled in Tricare Prime (www.tricare.mil/prime) where you pay no enrollment fees and no out-of-pocket costs for any type of care as long as care is received from the PCM (primary care manager) or with a referral and you can also enroll in our low cost life insurance for up to $400,000. Looking for excellent low cost auto and property insurance? Active duty Airmen are also eligible to become exclusive members of USAA (www.usaa.com) one of the nation’s highest rated insurance companies.

JOB COUNSELING	When you're ready to separate or retire from the Air Force, specially trained job counselors will help you make a smooth transition back to civilian life by helping you work with employers to ensure all of your credentials, training, experience, security clearances, and work ethic reflect in your résumé to attain the job you deserve.
