Excellent video, seems very conscientious, answered some questions I had and some I hadn't thought of, mentioned some negatives but in a no nonsense objective way
I'm trying to go ANG then commission once I get my bachelors degree. How was the process of commissioning and going AD? There's really not much info so hopefully you'll see this comment! TIA
Can you just explain what happened after you graduated tech school. What was your first drill back like and where did you go. Did you go to student flight or report to your designated squadron
I'm going to be honest, I am not sure how you would know about the positions available to to rank up. If you are looking to join then your recruiter would know about vacancies.
@@aveontaefrazier really smoothly and easy actually. Wanting to do sensory operator but don’t know if that’s still available. Waiting on my recruiter to get back from Florida lol.
Great question! I’m not completely sure to be honest. I always was enrolled at full time status. I believe you can but I would confirm with a recruiter.
@@velvet_tea You should definitely get the same job should you want too and they have the job opening for it. In fact, there is incentive for them to do that because they would not have to pay to send you to school.
Going to the Guard doesn't guarantee that you won't deploy. My ANG Red Horse Squadron had a set date to deploy. You can go IRR but still not a guarantee to not deploy just my Experience
Thanks for the video , do you have the ability to decline deployment opportunities? I heard you say something about you were in school so it didn’t work out with them deploying you? Did I hear that correctly?
If you are assigned you can’t decline but it’s very plausible if you tell them in advance of a deployment you don’t want to go that they’ll consider it. Once they have chosen the people they want it’s not possible to decline. Yea I wanted to deploy but wasn’t picked for it.
I’m not sure if you can answer this but I’ll try to explain it the best I can. I will be graduating with my B.S. in Psychology and Im wondering what my rank would be and also I was wanting to further my education higher(Graduate school) I was wondering how that would work in the guard.
Well for the first part you would start at E3. And the second one I would suggest watching my biggest video to explain that process if this didn’t help you. Simply stated, it’s not simple lol
Unless you decide to commission instead of enlisting. You can only commission if you have a college degree. And you start off as a O-1 (Second lieutenant)
So I can meet with my recruiter and request the tuition waiver before I go to basic and tech school? I want to go back to school in the fall but I want to make sure I have enough money for housing and tuition. I was going to just enlist, go through basic and tech and then go back but I don’t want my student loans to kick in Bc I’m thinking by the time I’m done it will be a year since I haven’t been in school

Thank you for all of this helpful information!
I’m glad I could help!
Gi bill has been a lifesaver for me, depending on your location you can get a nice check each month especially if you go to school full time
I Can’t Wait To Join Bro
Love the shirt bro!!!
Thanks😂
Would officers rate BAH? If so could you use that for room and board?
Great info.
Great video!!! Do you know if you could get a military id during your student flight or do you have to complete your BMT first? Thanks in advance!
You'll have it during student flight
Great video!! Does the ANG offer a split program like the army does? Thxs!
Thanks man! Split as in break in training?
Is deployment the same as title 10? Will you receive veteran status if you complete 180 hours of deployment?
For student flight can you choose days to go or is it like a schedule?
It’s a fixed schedule. You can get the schedule from your recruiter upon enlisting but there is no say in it.
I'm trying to go ANG then commission once I get my bachelors degree. How was the process of commissioning and going AD? There's really not much info so hopefully you'll see this comment! TIA
If you want to ultimately commission and go active, I’d wait to do that, but it is certainly possible to do within the ANG. Will be harder.
Is the tuition waiver applicable if you’ve already completed school? Can you put it toward any aid you took out?
No it just waives the cost of tuition at the time of schooling. You can always see if the army guard will cover loans.
Can you just explain what happened after you graduated tech school. What was your first drill back like and where did you go. Did you go to student flight or report to your designated squadron
Dm my insta I can explain. Unfortunately I’m headed to the academy basic soon so I won’t have enough time.
Is the basic training for part time guard only 2 weeks or is it 2 months?
Regarding rankin up... How do you know what positions are available to rank up to and/or are vacant?
I’m looking to join as an officer
I'm going to be honest, I am not sure how you would know about the positions available to to rank up. If you are looking to join then your recruiter would know about vacancies.
Do you know if ANG has an SMP program like Army National Guard has? Doing ROTC and Guard at the same time
If I’m thinking of the right thing unfortunately they do not.
There were guys in my ROTC detachment that were dual cadets and airmen in the guard/reserves 👍
Can you get bah/housing costs paid if you go to basic training and for tech school?
Can you use tuition waiver and the GI bill? Like use them both or is it either or ?
Yes
Just finished up MEPS yesterday!
Awesome how’d it go?
@@aveontaefrazier really smoothly and easy actually. Wanting to do sensory operator but don’t know if that’s still available. Waiting on my recruiter to get back from Florida lol.
@@juanreyes6543Hi! How are things going? Did you get the sensory operator spot?
Do they put you at the closest base for drill? Or is it anywhere in PA for drill?
It is where you enlist
I think ima go guard
Awesome good luck!
If i have children in the future and i dont use the gi bill for myself, can it get passed on to my children?
I think so but you would have to check with the retention recruiter
I’m looking to enroll at my state public university but part time. Are the tuition benefits, specifically the waiver, available for part time study?
Great question! I’m not completely sure to be honest. I always was enrolled at full time status. I believe you can but I would confirm with a recruiter.
@@aveontaefrazier Thanks you for replying. Great content, one of the best AF videos.
I ship in 5 weeks...I’m in the pa air guard
That’s awesome good luck!
aye p can I convert my test scores ova from the regular to the air
What scores are you referring to? ASVAB? Then yes.
@@aveontaefrazier yeah that test okay bet I won't get the same job though huh?
@@velvet_tea You should definitely get the same job should you want too and they have the job opening for it. In fact, there is incentive for them to do that because they would not have to pay to send you to school.
Would it be a bad move to swap from AD to ANG to avoid deploying?
I mean that sounds like a personal dilemma not sure how to answer. Why don’t you want to deploy?
@@aveontaefrazier married with a 2 year old and a newborn in a couple weeks
Going to the Guard doesn't guarantee that you won't deploy. My ANG Red Horse Squadron had a set date to deploy. You can go IRR but still not a guarantee to not deploy just my Experience
Do you pt both days every drill in student flight?
I can’t remember for sure but I feel like it was once. Could be different from unit to unit
In 6 years, what is the average time you'd be deployed
There’s no simple answer to that. Just depends. Some might not at all others might deploy up to a year.
Do they ask you if you want to be deployed? Is it optional. Or do they tell you to go and you have to
@@ayanadavis9449 you can volunteer to be deployed. There are several opportunities. Especially in the Red Horse Squadron like mine
Thanks for the video , do you have the ability to decline deployment opportunities? I heard you say something about you were in school so it didn’t work out with them deploying you? Did I hear that correctly?

How come your sister got $700 and you got $300 in GI bill?
She got a kicker

Yea so long as you are enlisted already
Is 30 too old to join ???
NOOOOO! It you want to get in it now go for it! My mom join at like 30 something and two guys in my basic flight were 39 (oldest you can be).
That damn chiefs shirt...do better #GoBills
No sir😂
That's why they just won again
