So I just took this test after failing it the first time. This is a test that you should never blow off, passed it the second time after 5 months of hard work. Don’t stop and keep going!
Yo, I just got passed by meps, I ship out to bmt on June 13, I'm gonna be in refuel/bomber aircraft maintenance, which Is what I wanted!! Your videos have been very helpful, so thank you sir.
I’m scheduled for MEPS in 2 weeks. It’s frustrating that there’s not enough content on nurse practitioner entering the Air Force. Your videos helped a lot to gain more information about Air Force life.
Hey Jody, I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! Your videos has had a HUGE impact over the past year. Ive had alot of complications while in the enlistment process (specifically MEPS) My medical records got accidently switched with my dads and that took a substantial amount of time to get fixed. I have been in this everlasting cycle for a year and a half now. This has been the most frustrating and stressful thing I have ever gone through. But one thing that I have learned from this process is PATIENCE. If I were ever feeling let down or discouraged I would watch your videos to rebuild myself back up and it has really helped me. throughout the frustration and stress and discouragement I can now finally say I leave for BMT July 18th with the job I wanted !!! Again thank you for everything that you do, Thank you for encouraging others like me, Young and beginning their lives through the Air Force. Hopefully one day during my journey in service ill be able to shake your hand one day Sir!
That’s so awesome to hear. I’m glad I could inspire you to keep going, and I’m glad everything worked out. I’m wishing you good luck on the rest of your journey. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Applicants need a good command of Math and English to score well.....If you're not strong in these areas, study with a tutor, or take college classes to prepare you.
Hey Jody, I take the ASVAB tmrw, I wanted to reach out to say that you’ve been a great help throughout my process of enlisting. Keep up with the good work on the new videos and keep on keeping on! 🔥🔥
Hi Jody. Hope you remember me. My son graduate BMT last JANUARY and he is still in Med Hold.Last couple of days in BMT he tore his ACL. Looking good for him though. He's still in the AF!!!
Hey Ron. Definitely remember you. That’s unfortunate your son tore his knee, but I’m happy to see he’s still in. Hopefully he recovers well, and gets out of med hold soon.
Love the videos. Looking for information on DLAB and EDPT tests. There are not many information videos on those tests. What resources are there for those tests? Thanks for your help!
So from my understanding, you don’t need to take the DLAB anymore. Instead they’re assessing people’s TAPAS (tailored adaptive personality assessment system) score to determine eligibility for linguist careers. This is a mandatory test at MEPS. Check with your recruiter to see if I’m correct about that. As far as the EDPT goes, this website might help. www.assessmentcentrehq.com/edpt-test/
Watched one of your older shorts. That alone helped influence me to join the Air Force. All your videos are extremely helpful. I ship out Tuesday. AFSC is Material Management. Thank you for ur videos. Much appreciated🫡
Hey Jody, I just wanna say thanks for all the great content; it is really helping me mentally prepare for going to my recruiter and the steps beyond. P.S. I heard through the grapevine that the USAF is really looking for mechanical and eletrical jobs, which I am not opposed to, but I am generally lousy with that stuff. If those are the only jobs that are available and I cannot place good enough to qualify for those, should I wait for a job that I qualify for even if its like a year's wait? Or should I try another branch? I am not opposed to joining the Navy or Army; I really just want to serve my country and do something that I will be proud of, something meaningful and fullfilling.
I honestly recommend you study up to make sure you can get high scores in those areas. That way when it’s time for testing, there’s no waiting or retaking the test.
Hey Jody, is there any chance you can make a video about the Leadership Program for Enlisted Airman to get into the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA)?
Hi Jody, I’ve been Watching your Videos recently, I’m your new subscriber. I actually enlist to the Air Force 3 nights ago, and I have an Appointment with my recruiter this Monday. I just wanna say, You inspire me a lot to join, although I’m scared that I won’t be accepted, But I am trying myself to stay positive. I’m scared because of my GPA, I remember that you said theres a GPA requirements to join. But I really-really wanna enlist for me to finish my college and work. College here is very stressful and had a lot of payment. So please, sir, lemme know if Air Force is still for me.
Definitely. You got this. The only GPA requirements are needed for people with a history of ADD or when you’re applying to become an officer. If neither of those apply to you, you should be fine. I hope that helps and good luck on the rest of your process. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thinking of joining air force but not done with high school. Would i have to finish school or could i enlist? Also what are some books that could help me study for the tests
Hey jody quick question, I had depression for only a couple of months during highschool and took pills for less then 6 months . That was 2 years ago. What are the chances of me disqualifying
You have a good shot just depending on medical records. I would recommend gathering all the records you can, and get any clearance notes from your doctor stating you’re fine. Also, all of your pharmacy records for the last 5 years.
Hey i been watching your videos and they been helping me out alot because i want to join the Air Force but i have tinnitus. Would that disqualify me from joining or will it just disqualify me from certain jobs?
It depends on the severity of the condition. You would need to gather all of your medical records regarding that, and then have a recruiter send them to our doctors for approval. That’ll be the only way to truly know. I hope that helps.
Hi Jody! I’ve spoken to a few recruiters recently they all told me Air Force is currently only looking for people to work mechanical & electrical jobs I’m not really interested in either.. any advice on what I could do? Should I wait? The Air Force is the only branch I’m highly seeking to join
I would honestly recommend you do some research on those two aptitude areas. Those are the bulk of Air Force jobs and what the Air Force needs most. The electrical career fields have some great computer jobs which may interest you. I made a video on how to do research for jobs if you haven’t already seen it. I hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/KTnso5e3NII/w-d-xo.html
Hey I have a question not about the asvab tho but thanks for all you help on that I got a 55 but I would like to know about packing for bmt and if their is a separate bay tech school that I need to pack
Thanks for the video. I would like to ask if PiCAT is an option for AFOQT, or is it only for ASVAB? If it is only for ASVAB, on the day of assessment if the score is let say 5 points lower than the score on PiCAT what will happen in that case? Another thing is that is the questions on the PiCAT and assessment are the same?
The AFOQT does not offer an PICAT style test. The PICAT will be done at home or in a recruiters office. Once at MEPS you’ll need to take a verification test. That test will present questions you answered on the PICAT. If you don’t answer those questions similarly, you’d be rolled into the full ASVAB test. I hope that helps.
@Jodywithawhy thanks for the reply, can u estimate how long does the recruiting process takes? Because I emailed my local recruiter last 2 weeks ago and had only 1 email exchange, which is pre-requisite form, until now.
Is it worth joining in 2023 with a wife and a kid? Would I be able to properly provide for the both of them just joking and being a low rank? I just need to find an honest answer
Definitely. Once you’re in, your wife and kids get health insurance and the Air Force provides extra money for your housing and groceries. I made a video explaining what it’s like to join when you’re married if you haven’t already watched it. th-cam.com/video/WU6mQ-ewLWY/w-d-xo.html
Sir question: 15 ocs, 19 quantitative, 12 verbal on y second trial. Any chance I can get a third trial or got my verbal wave ? I need 15 verbal to pass. And English is second language for me. What can I do at this point ?
Hey Jody, I had a question just about the Air Force recruitment in general, not about being an Officer... But do you know what the current weight standards are for recruits? I've been working on losing weight to join the Air Force for about 3-4 months now, and I'm down 40 lbs from where I started. I'm currently Male, 18 years old, 6'1, and 265 lbs. I know I've still got a ways to go, but I just wanted to try to get an idea of where I need to get to, since I've seen several different things online and I wasn't sure which was current/accurate. (Especially with the PT Test changes that happened recently)
This video can help th-cam.com/video/6FG0GD25v0o/w-d-xo.html. Keep in mind the Air Force changed their body fat measurement standards from 20% to 26% for males, and from 30% to 36% for females.
Hello , I took the ASVAB this year I score a 34 I don’t know if I should retake . I didn’t go to meps yet . I’m debating whether to take it or not please help .
Depends on what jobs you’re interested in. If you want to be a mechanic you should definitely focus on the mechanic stuff. But if you just want to pass, the paragraph comprehension, word knowledge, math knowledge and arithmetic sections are the only focus areas.
I’m sorry if this is dumb but if i get a 20 on quantative does that mean i only got 20 questions right for that section. Scared shitless because im not so good with math.
@jodywithawhy i did the exam AFOQT back in December 2021. I failed the verbal component. i am trying to get back for the second time. Does my first shot back in end 2021 is still on records in order to only max out on the verbal component? or i will have to redo and max out on everything ?
Hi do you know if someone with previous history of depression would be allowed in? I really want to enlist but unfortunately during a strenuous circumstances I was placed in the hospital and was diagnosed with depression. I keep hearing about waivers but I’ve been told by recruiters and online groups alike that someone like me shouldn’t even bother. I was only ever diagnosed with depression and have no other issues beside being slightly overweight. If you can give me some insight I would appreciate it greatly. It was a one time incident and I’m perfectly fine without medication but the record makes the situation way worse due to me saying things out of emotion at the time that I didn’t meant. Score wise I’ve scored 96 on their test Picat for the army but I was soon let go again as a result of my medical record. I really wish to enlist and prove myself that I’ve overcame my past issues and want to be given a chance at it.
With depression, it’s possible. But usually the doctors wanna see at least 24-36 months since last medical documentation. I made a video which breaks down how to better your chances with depression if you haven’t already watched it. th-cam.com/video/ynKjsxegEPE/w-d-xo.html
@@Jodywithawhy I have watched the video and my biggest question regarding it is the inpatient care disqualification for enlistment or disqualification for waiver? I know it sounds weird but I know for a fact I will need a waiver but I'm uncertain if there is any condition that would make even waiver ineligible because the recruiters I've talked to don't even mention them. Part of the huge issue was because I was taken to a hospital where I was diagnosed which counted as inpatient care. I said some stuff I regret saying but I'm being treated as an SI case because of what I said at the time. I said some dumb stuff because I was emotional at the time, lost multiple family member I was close with due to covid and the isolation got to me. I had no more issue without treatment since then and been perfectly normal however I was told I had to obtain the statements verifying I'm fine to serve from a doctor. The hospital that diagnosed me told me they don't provide such a service so I end up going to another doctor to obtain verification statements. However they told me they won't write such a thing unless I accept their treatment only for them to tell me almost 8 month later that they don't provide such a thing either. Recruiter said I got screwed and "reset my clock" assuming if I wasn't denied regardless due to being marked as an SI. Most recruiters I've talked don't give me any detail rather than saying "yeah sorry you're not qualified, try the navy" before hanging up on me or showing me the door. I genuinely don't have any issues, it was a one time incident with extremely unfortunate circumstance and poor communication on my part leading to such a documentation but now it has become the biggest barrier for me to achieving my dream of enlistment. I've been trying to get myself requalified since I was 25 but trying to get the issue resolved seem to just make things worse. It's been 2 years since I've been working on this and its very discouraging that I've made next to little process. The few doctors I've contacted that does provide the service in question to me that they've been at max capacity since COVID and I have very limited means to finding supporting document to help my case. It feels like I have no way of proving myself fit for service at this rate. I'm willing to do anything and everything to get myself requalified even if it takes me another 5 years but I'm given the impression by recruiters that because of my medical record means I won't ever be allowed to join the military.
Anytime there’s SI, you’d wanna wait at least 36 months. That’s when the doctors will consider approving your waiver. Nothing’s guaranteed, but you’d have a better shot. In the meantime I’d recommend to start losing weight and get yourself physically qualified, that way you prove to the recruiters how serious you are.
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you very much for responding. I will do my best. Hearing that from you made me feel more confident as the way other recruiters made it sound like its unwaiverable.
I hear they have a computerized version, but I don’t know if it’s 100% computerized. I think it depends on the testing station. But your recruiter may be able to answer better than me.
I have a question I am considering joining the air-force. I am currently renting and apartment what will happen if approved with my apartment? Also I believe I will need a waiver because I have some traffic tickets. I really want to join the air force
The service members civil relief act will allow you to break the lease agreement with the apartment if you get accepted into the Air Force. www.military.com/benefits/military-legal-matters/servicemembers-civil-relief-act-overview.html/amp If you want know if you’ll need a waiver, I made a video which discusses how waivers work if you haven’t already watched it. th-cam.com/video/tjWAMSMoBDY/w-d-xo.html
I took and online practice test with no phone no internet cheating no nothing and crushed it. I graduate college in June of 2024 is it too early to start talking to a recruiter?
Good job on the practice. I’d recommend reaching out to a recruiter and see if there’s anything which will potentially disqualify you, and also see if there’s anything they recommend you to do which will help your chances when it’s time to apply.
Can you decide to change from the Marines to the Air Force down at the MEPS after you finish all your requirements just haven't signed a contract at the MEPS? I passed everything but haven't signed or swore in yet
Hey Jody I just swore in this week but waiting for my waiver to get verified. Do you think it will disqualify me from jobs? It’s a medical waiver for a surgery I had when I was 12 it was for my testis to not disclose too much info
I’ve had something along these lines approved twice in my time as a recruiter. It’s all dependent upon medical records, but from my experience I had good luck with this.
Hey I’ve been asking this question everywhere on peoples videos but can’t get an answer cause all the comments but I wanted to be security forces for the Air Force but it says I need a state drivers license would I be able to do it even without it or is it mandatory to have one I heard that in some places they will help you get a military license but I wasn’t sure if that was meant for security forces position

With depression, it’s possible. But usually the doctors wanna see at least 24-36 months since last medical documentation. I made a video which breaks down how to better your chances with depression if you haven’t already watched it. th-cam.com/video/ynKjsxegEPE/w-d-xo.html

I have watched the video and my biggest question regarding it is the inpatient care disqualification for enlistment or disqualification for waiver? I know it sounds weird but I know for a fact I will need a waiver but I'm uncertain if there is any condition that would make even waiver ineligible because the recruiters I've talked to don't even mention them.
Part of the huge issue was because I was taken to a hospital where I was diagnosed which counted as inpatient care. I said some stuff I regret saying but I'm being treated as an SI case because of what I said at the time. I said some dumb stuff because I was emotional at the time, lost multiple family member I was close with due to covid and the isolation got to me.
I had no more issue without treatment since then and been perfectly normal however I was told I had to obtain the statements verifying I'm fine to serve from a doctor. The hospital that diagnosed me told me they don't provide such a service so I end up going to another doctor to obtain verification statements. However they told me they won't write such a thing unless I accept their treatment only for them to tell me almost 8 month later that they don't provide such a thing either. Recruiter said I got screwed and "reset my clock" assuming if I wasn't denied regardless due to being marked as an SI.
Most recruiters I've talked don't give me any detail rather than saying "yeah sorry you're not qualified, try the navy" before hanging up on me or showing me the door.
I genuinely don't have any issues, it was a one time incident with extremely unfortunate circumstance and poor communication on my part leading to such a documentation but now it has become the biggest barrier for me to achieving my dream of enlistment. I've been trying to get myself requalified since I was 25 but trying to get the issue resolved seem to just make things worse. It's been 2 years since I've been working on this and its very discouraging that I've made next to little process.
The few doctors I've contacted that does provide the service in question to me that they've been at max capacity since COVID and I have very limited means to finding supporting document to help my case. It feels like I have no way of proving myself fit for service at this rate. I'm willing to do anything and everything to get myself requalified even if it takes me another 5 years but I'm given the impression by recruiters that because of my medical record means I won't ever be allowed to join the military.
Anytime there’s SI, you’d wanna wait at least 36 months. That’s when the doctors will consider approving your waiver. Nothing’s guaranteed, but you’d have a better shot. In the meantime I’d recommend to start losing weight and get yourself physically qualified, that way you prove to the recruiters how serious you are.

Thank you very much for responding. I will do my best. Hearing that from you made me feel more confident as the way other recruiters made it sound like its unwaiverable.
Scored a 28 need 31 to enlist , how to do I get a 90 or higher ??? 😅

Jody does the afoqt is now computerized or it is still papersheet ?
I hear they have a computerized version, but I don’t know if it’s 100% computerized. I think it depends on the testing station. But your recruiter may be able to answer better than me.
I have a question I am considering joining the air-force. I am currently renting and apartment what will happen if approved with my apartment? Also I believe I will need a waiver because I have some traffic tickets. I really want to join the air force
The service members civil relief act will allow you to break the lease agreement with the apartment if you get accepted into the Air Force. www.military.com/benefits/military-legal-matters/servicemembers-civil-relief-act-overview.html/amp
If you want know if you’ll need a waiver, I made a video which discusses how waivers work if you haven’t already watched it. th-cam.com/video/tjWAMSMoBDY/w-d-xo.html
I have a question if you have already filed bankruptcy are you able to join the Air Force
It’s possible but it would require a financial waiver. If everything goes well during that waiver process, you should be able to join.

I took and online practice test with no phone no internet cheating no nothing and crushed it. I graduate college in June of 2024 is it too early to start talking to a recruiter?
Good job on the practice. I’d recommend reaching out to a recruiter and see if there’s anything which will potentially disqualify you, and also see if there’s anything they recommend you to do which will help your chances when it’s time to apply.
Can you decide to change from the Marines to the Air Force down at the MEPS after you finish all your requirements just haven't signed a contract at the MEPS? I passed everything but haven't signed or swore in yet
You can but not at MEPS. You’d need to talk to your recruiter first, and then find an Air Force recruiter to work with. I hope that helps.
Hey Jody I just swore in this week but waiting for my waiver to get verified. Do you think it will disqualify me from jobs? It’s a medical waiver for a surgery I had when I was 12 it was for my testis to not disclose too much info
I’ve had something along these lines approved twice in my time as a recruiter. It’s all dependent upon medical records, but from my experience I had good luck with this.
@@Jodywithawhy the records were destroyed after 10 years but I sent that to them I made it to meps so I’m hoping and praying that I can enlist fully

Yes. It is mandatory to have a drivers license in order to become security forces.
