Here’s a playlist for those of you joining the Air Force. It will get you right if you have questions about the process. 🤙🏽th-cam.com/play/PLXuUcq2bb7w1FpnrFV4FC0pn57wq9uCVc.html
Your videos have helped me out so much! I've always wanted to join the military band, being that I was a music geek and tried to join when I was 18. My dad is a Vietnam vet and has/ had ptsd. He didn't like that I wanted to serve not one bit... My parents Instead gave me a truck, helped me through college and also was blessed with a child when I was 19. A decade later, I realized after teaching music education for 8 years, I want to try something different. I realized that I was a terrible teenager and make a TON of mistakes with the law.. I also have -9 vision...Luckily my recruiter said he believes in me and thinks I could potentially get in. Whatever happens at least I tried, in words of zefram Cochrane" don't try to be a great man, just be a man and let history makes its own judgments".
Best of luck to you along the way. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. If you get the chance to serve, take advantage. I made a video about joining our band if you haven’t seen it. May be an avenue for you. th-cam.com/video/Ay6lJ_Fhgl8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video! I am considering joining the Air Force and I was just watching your video about 3 tips before you meet a recruiter. I have been reading on the Air Force website but was still thinking what should I ask and this came right on time. Definitely going to binge watch some of your videos.
Jody I appreciate you sir, I am a college graduate and was really lost as far as my next direction in life. After watching a few of your videos you gave me the information and confidence to talk to a recruiter and now I’ll be starting my journey at BMT this fall! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you Jody for all the videos !!! Started watching you about a year ago when I started the process of joining ! Now I leave next week for bmt !! Thank you for all the useful and vital information you have given me !
Hey Jody, if I’m aiming towards special forces (and let’s say I’m qualified), as far as jobs goes how soon does it normally take to get those spots filled?
It depends on how strong your PAST scores are. If you’re barely passing the PAST, they probably won’t book you a job until you’re crushing it. So it depends on you and how much work you put in.
I know this is totally unrelated to the video but I have ADHD and I had to get a BUNCH of paper work for it. I was just curious if I have enough proof that I haven’t taken meds in 7 years , am i still going to have to go on with the whole waiver process with the surgeon general etc. or will they just let me go to meps with all that info with no wait ? Thanks!
Most likely even with all of that, they’ll still make it get approved by the surgeon general. The chief medical officers at MEPS don’t really like approving anything higher than small issues.
Anything’s possible, but honestly the only way to truly know is to take your medical documents to a recruiter. Every document available pertaining to the endometriosis and surgery will need to be collected. Then your recruiter will submit it up to MEPS for their approval. I made a video discussing medical waivers, if you haven’t seen it already it may help. th-cam.com/video/ynKjsxegEPE/w-d-xo.html
I had 3 knee surgeries on my left knee ! Tore my ACL twice and my meniscus once !! They let me join ! Just make sure to have ALL documents and work hard to make sure it doesn’t effect you anymore !
I just got mine today. Lol. Nobody made me yet, I just know the inevitable is coming, so I got it. I’ll keep you posted if I experience any weird side effects.
Yea. I was hesitant too, but I got a friend who’s a nurse. She said she’s dealing with a bunch of sick people everyday and the overwhelming majority were unvaccinated. After hearing the horror stories, I decided I’ll just go ahead and get it. 🤷🏽♂️
You’d have to update your dependents on your profile, but that’s easy stuff. This video will explain all the benefits you receive if you join with dependents if you haven’t already seen it. th-cam.com/video/WU6mQ-ewLWY/w-d-xo.html
@@Jodywithawhy I've seen all of your videos lol you're such a great resource Jody you've helped me so much I just got back from the gym with a pr 1.5 of 11:30 super excited to start the process!
I am planning to join the Air Force, I do have some medical problems at the moment and I have some stuff on my record and idk how much will that affect my entrance.
I made this video which discusses our waiver process. Maybe this might help you understand your situation a little better. th-cam.com/video/tjWAMSMoBDY/w-d-xo.html
I have a question. My dream job is to one day become a fighter pilot, i've been working towards my dream to a 4.6 gpa. However I have a problem, i've been told that i'll be 75-76 inches and thats above the height requirement for a fighter pilot. I know I have to make a waiver so how does a waiver work?
Jody, if I am married and get stationed overseas can I bring a pet with me? I know we can bring our family but if we have pets can they tag along with the move ? Thanks
@@Jodywithawhy okay thank you. Also I had another question. If somebody wanted to leave active duty DEP for air national guard is that possible it would that disqualify you from serving.
It wouldn’t disqualify you, just would make someone look in dependable. The next recruiter will wanna know can they trust you. It’s like if you were single, but someone who was married told you they would break off their marriage for you. How could you trust they wouldn’t do the same thing to you later. 🤷🏽♂️

Taking the ASVAB and MEPS this Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m binging your videos for some reason. Cheers mate
Ayyeee. Glad I could help. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy hell yeah, I’m joining the coast guard but one of my friends in in AF basic training right now. So it balances out. 🤙
My boy Jodyyyyy, these videos have been a great help. I’m scheduled to see my recruiter today at 1😈🙏 thank you so much my guy💯
Ayeee. No problem my guy. Good luck at the appointment. 💪🏽💪🏽
SHHEEESHHHh that quality lookin qwispy
Ayeee. I appreciate it. I’m still figuring it out man. I gotta get my lighting right. This was very dim. I’ll get there though, one video at a time.
Maaaan when that Patiently Waiting dropped🔥😤😤🔥
Ayeeee. lol. Reliving me teen years with that one. Lol
do you know how close to the real asvab test are the Kaplan, Barron's, and For Dummies asvab prep books?
I do not know, but I know from what all my applicants told me, the For Dummies is the best book. They say it’s really easy to follow and helpful.
Easy, research research!
Great video! Question, what do you use to edit your videos?
I use premier pro. It’s super easy and user friendly.

@@Jodywithawhy thanks for the info!
Can you get a waiver for endometriosis? I heard its a disqualification but I had surgery, no pain/symptoms afterwards 🥺
Anything’s possible, but honestly the only way to truly know is to take your medical documents to a recruiter. Every document available pertaining to the endometriosis and surgery will need to be collected. Then your recruiter will submit it up to MEPS for their approval.

What do you think my wait time in dep will be if I have a decently bookable list ?
Average wait time is about 3-6 months. Most likely you’ll go between that time period.
Bro Is it true tht cv19 vax is mandatory for all troops and tht they got to get it by mid Sept? There is no way to avoid or not take it at all?
I just got mine today. Lol. Nobody made me yet, I just know the inevitable is coming, so I got it. I’ll keep you posted if I experience any weird side effects.
@@Jodywithawhy great the cov19 vax is the only think Im worried abt coming into the AF thts the only vax I dnt want to take for AF
Yea. I was hesitant too, but I got a friend who’s a nurse. She said she’s dealing with a bunch of sick people everyday and the overwhelming majority were unvaccinated. After hearing the horror stories, I decided I’ll just go ahead and get it. 🤷🏽♂️
what position did you pick ?
Questions: can I wait to go to meps because I want to speak to a recruiter but do not want to get shipped out until me and my fiance get married?
You can let them know your availability date, and they can’t book you a job until after that date.
@@Jodywithawhy will that affect the process since I will now have dependents?
You’d have to update your dependents on your profile, but that’s easy stuff. This video will explain all the benefits you receive if you join with dependents if you haven’t already seen it. th-cam.com/video/WU6mQ-ewLWY/w-d-xo.html

That’s a great time. You’re gonna crush it. Thanks for the support, it means a lot to me. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
What happens if your time in dep expires?
They will discharge you from the DEP at that point.

However I have a problem, i've been told that i'll be 75-76 inches and thats above the height requirement for a fighter pilot. I know I have to make a waiver so how does a waiver work?
I honestly don’t know how that waiver works, but the height waivers are pretty common. So I don’t think there will be an issue, but I could be wrong.
@@Jodywithawhy thank you, I really love your channel keep up the hard work
Jody, if I am married and get stationed overseas can I bring a pet with me? I know we can bring our family but if we have pets can they tag along with the move ? Thanks
I believe so. It will depend on the rules for your housing. If they allow pets, you shouldn’t have a problem bringing them.
@@Jodywithawhy okay thank you. Also I had another question. If somebody wanted to leave active duty DEP for air national guard is that possible it would that disqualify you from serving.
It wouldn’t disqualify you, just would make someone look in dependable. The next recruiter will wanna know can they trust you.
