Jody is the reason why at 36 years young I enlisted for 6 years as an A1C, crushed my ASVAB (92), pulled Weather and ship out on 5/24. Had I done this 10 years ago I could’ve gone EOD and be halfway towards retirement so don’t waste your time with doubt. Pain hurts less than regret.
Ayeeeee. I’m really glad I could help. I’m also proud of the fact you did it at 36. Some people never make the decision and then regret it forever. Good luck on your journey, and if you ever have any questions don’t be shy. 💪🏽💪🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you, sir! I binged your videos over 2 days and reached out to a recruiter right after that. So glad I checked you out!
I'm 38 and i want to join
Starting at 28
Hey man I know this is a very old convo but do you have any insight on some good resources for studying for the ASVAB?
I'm 32 years old and I'm going to bootcamp tomorrow for SF. It's never too late folks!
How was it
@@Ej-yx1md mannnnnn this shit is no joke. I am in tech school now and killing it. Be ready to get to work my friend. BMT is 16 hours a day everyday of being on your feet. The exhaustion, frustration and dedication really kicks in whether you want it to or not. Just be prepared to work, learn, sleep, and eat your ass off. It's definitely worth it 100%, because the pay, the benefits, and respect you get from it will make you a better man then when you entered. TRUST ME, and the girls are a plus. Lots of beautiful women everywhere in the air force.
@@JzDProductions Thank you for this! I'm shipping out in 2 weeks.
@@JzDProductionsHow is SF going? Is it worth it if im interested in law enforcement?
@@G_d44 yeah it’s definitely worth it, but man is hit rough. Just got out of training today for deadly force and one mistake can get you washed back a week in training. Meaning you graduate a week later and have to retake the progress check. Basically the training fucking sucks and isn’t hard but it’s a lot of sitting around and waiting… the weekends are the only stuff I look forward to. Still worth it and very rewarding when you’re done at the end of the day.
The Air Force changed my LIFE for the BETTER! Zero regrets!
Would you recommend it to some who just turned 23? I regret not going in at 17. Did all kind of works right now but I feel stuck in life
@dylanmartinez2157 YES! I had NO CLUE about what to do with my life. Zero opportunities in my hometown other than working on the farm or prison guard. I was able to figure out my steps to a better life in The USAF. It will NOT be easy, but if you apply yourself, it WILL be worth it.
@@Rallisport thanks so much man. Ironically, 2 close friends of my are in the AF and they are both traffic controllers. Special missions aviator and traffic controller spokes my interest. I appreciate you
@@dylanmartinez2157 You bet! You got this!
@@RallisportPrison guard huh? That’s what I currently am right now hahahaha. I’m 20 and have been a CO for almost 2 years. Even though I really like my job and like the people I work with, I’ve been thinking about joining the Air Force for months. The idea of starting a new chapter in my life sounds exciting, always wanted to join the military since I was little too. I really do want to join the Air Force, but I’m afraid of leaving my career in corrections behind. If I wasn’t in corrections, I’d join the Air Force in a heartbeat.
I’ve had the same excitement and interest in the military since 7th grade and I’m finally almost ready to ship out!
Let’s goooo. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Good luck and congratulations bro.
Did they tell you yet to get the vaccine or be discharged!
Any update for us, ballermane?
While I'm over here stuck on my own head thinking about joining the Air Force or Army, you come out with a clean video. You're goated Jody!
😂😂😂. Man. I appreciate that. Hopefully this helps you with the decision. Good luck 💪🏽💪🏽
Stink River analogy is on point. Awesome content Bro. Your break down about military life is extremely detailed. I so wish I knew about this when age eligible. The Bofinger movie clip was on point as well as your other music and movie clips. You're a blessing to people. Our youth would benefit greatly hearing your voice. Easily, they would "'come up " and be an asset to our nation on so many levels. Diverse experiences, expanded viewpoint, education, travel etc. Thanks for your service. Blessings🙏🏽
Aye man. I really appreciate that. Seriously. Thanks for supporting. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
My wife and I joined the Army together in 98. We're both out now, but it changed our lives. I try to recruit any young person I meet. Just got my daughter in the AF last month.
When I was in the Marine Corps years ago, the housing allowance was crap. I'm glad to see it's greatly improved.
Sweetest video ever,
Love this channel🔥
I just want to get my pilot license in the next year and naturopathic Dr degree in 10-12 years. I'll be 37 this year and I'm getting in there I just have to drop weight. Thank you!
This just made me even more excited! I’m currently in DEP and my top 3 AFSC are Aerospace Ground Equipment, Helicopter/Tilt rotor Aircraft Maintenance, and Aircraft Electrical & Environmental System. I’ll be available to be shipped to BMT after May 15, wanted to graduate from community college then go. Expected to be shipped end of May or June, can’t wait!!
Good luck in your journey
Congratulations Josef. My first job in the Air Force was electrical and environmental. 💪🏽💪🏽. Good luck on the journey. 🙌🏽
Thank you!
Job security and benefits are unmatched.
UN 👏🏽 MATCHED. lol
If you are blessed enough to be able to join. I'm screwed. Afraid I'm going to be homeless soon. I have a 4 year degree, no criminal record, just medical stuff because I was stupid enough to reach out for so called help after being abused growing up. It's so messed up that being abused will ruin your chances of being able to join and getting way from the people and environment who abused you. That has me in so much pain right now. My life is ruined. There is nothing out here in the civilian world. And I even have a federal resume and still can't get employed right now. Needless to say I hate my life and I wish I was you Jody or anyone else who has been fortunate enough and blessed enough to join.
Ebony I’m so sorry you can’t find a recruiter that will help. I wish I had more pull to make them move, but unfortunately I don’t have enough power to make recruiters work applicants they don’t wanna work. My recommendation is to keep searching and find a recruiter. I don’t know if you’ve see this or not, but this is how you can search around until you find a recruiter who will help. Good luck. th-cam.com/video/SF51i4QdLBQ/w-d-xo.html
Weirdly, I've been looking at enlisting into the Army when I finish my cybersecurity bachelor's. I'm super interested in continuing to educate myself further, and the $4k a year for ArmyCOOL seems perfect - plus, between the faster promotion rate & having Warrant Officers, I might be able to make WO-1 by the end of one contract, which would mean I'd be operating at a high level of pay comparable to an officer, while still maintaining technical expertise, as opposed to officers who work on management and project development skills.
Cool deal man. I subbed after I found TSgt Sanderson on your channel.
Damn, you really go all out on your videos, I love that! Honestly, you're my favorite AF TH-cam content creator!
Even more so than Kyle Gott/Airman Vision.
Now if only this waiver could get approved... 😴
Thank you so much. It means a lot. Kyle is why I started my own channel. If I never met him, I wouldn’t have ever thought about starting my own. Funny how things work. Lol
Gott is as bitter as it gets for the air force and even he has channel for the air force! Lol
😂😂😂😂
Great video. Wish I knew all this back in 1980
another excellent video. Thanks
No problem. Thanks for watching and constantly supporting. 🤙🏽
I want to share with you something about the AF that attracts me; The mere existence of the Air Force Insitute of Technology, that is accredited by ABET for PHD engineering programs, though they have physics, applied math, and others. I am still considering the Navy and Army, though. So the GI bill is one attraction, but the actual job training, another benefit.
Thank you for this I had reached out to a recruiter a few months ago and been dragging my feet and I just reached out to him yesterday and I’m back on track I’m going to join this time
Aye. Sometimes it takes awhile to make the decision. You got this. Lemme know if you have any questions. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy thank you I’m 28 I’m in nursing school right now I know you said medical jobs are hard to come but but I’ve always wanted to be in medicine but can’t fight my urge to join the airforce my pre asvab score was 78 so I was wondering what other jobs you think I should check out
Medical jobs are really difficult to come by when joining the Air Force. Other jobs that you could look into are Intel jobs, computer jobs and electrical jobs. Those are jobs that are being hired.
I’m really thinking about joining I’m only 23 and have a daughter and girlfriend I just want to give them the best life possible.
And this is why I’m shipping out next month to BMT
Ayeee. Congrats bro and good luck. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Omg! I always wanted to know if I'd be possible to buy a house while you're on active duty and if your basic allowance could use for mortgage! Then here comes your channel and all the details! Thanks, bro. You've earned my subscription 😃
Glad I could help. Thanks for the support. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Im 26 strongly considering joining. I plan on speaking with a recruiter next week
I’m 31 and about to hit up the recruiter.
Man, I'm at 41 thinking about getting in. It's a rush to do it before my 42nd birthday as I'm based in the UK and have a mortgage, wife, kids etc. Wish I did it long ago.
You have one life. Don't overthink it. I understand your concerns especially since I'm 38 and have a family as well but hell...at this point WHY NOT?!
Hello, from Spain here, going to turn 36. It's your calling. I think is an excellent experience to have. Isn't it badass? To serve in the military some years and become somebody. Thereafter you can continue with your other endeavours full of pride. That is my plan too, even if I don't have residency there. Good luck.
Bro, that intro was great 😂
Thank you. Lol.
I got a 50 without any studying. and I hate testing so I’m going to see what jobs that can get me.
I can wait for my time I need lose a lot of weight but i know is no impossible join the military it’s been one of my big dream since I what’s in my country now I am here losing this weight I don’t do it for the money I do it for a better future 🙏🏽💪🏽🇺🇸
Ayeee. Good luck on the journey. You got this. 💪🏽💪🏽
Which is better for my daughter straight out of high school? Navy or Air Force? I think I know your answer lol
6:58 So in the army there is a benifit that most people don't know about. Which is if a Ride or plane is going somewhere & you approach them & they got the room they can give you & your family or whatever a free ride. Does that exist in the AF too?
Thanks for the video! @6:15 you said you can take a V.A. home loan and buy a house with zero down and use your BAH to pay your mortgage ! WOw is that true? that is insane! But could i still use like 25% of the Bah to live off base when i am away from home? Or could i just stay on base free? And if i stay on base would that cancel out the BAH i am using to pay my mortgage back home??
Yes. If you stay on base you won’t collect your BAH. If you live off base you can spend your BAH however you like. It’s your money. Just make sure you live within your means.
With COVID slowing things down, if I’m over the weight requirement should I hold off on connecting with a recruiter or is it the sooner the better type situation?
You really can’t do anything until you’re under the max weight. But you can ask the recruiter to prequalify you, and let you take the practice ASVAB. That way you know if there’s anything else that would stop you from joining. You could also watch this video, and it will give you a pretty good idea if you’re qualified. th-cam.com/video/2oxzcPLp930/w-d-xo.html
Hello Jody, I am international student who came on a j2 visa but want to join the United States airforce please what is your advice
Hey Man, Wish I joined the air force, Army rotc cadet, also in the army national guard. I'm on this minutemanscholarship do you know if you guys have similar scholarship for air national guard
I am fortunately was able to transfer in the Air Force from the Active Duty Navy.. i wanted to join the active duty Air Force but i was only allowed to join the Air Force Reserve as a Prior Service.. i dont understand why they limit the jobs for Prior Service
I talked to the army recruiter first then talked to the Air Force recruiter second but I’m going to meps on Tuesday but would I be able to use the scores I get to get a job with the Air Force still? I would really appreciate you if you answered this✌🏿
Hey Jody! I am graduating this summer term with my bachelor's degree and am going to apply to become and officer in the airforce. And I have a question. I work out almost every day and I am in great physical shape. But I have very very mild scoliosis. Will this prevent me from getting in? Even if it doesnt bother me?
We have scoliosis thresholds which they allow. I don’t know them, but I believe they’re easily googable to see. If it’s slight scoliosis, you’ll have a good chance. I have slight scoliosis and they let me in with no issues. I hope this helps.
@@Jodywithawhy thank you so much for your response. Not to sound cheesey but it almost brought a tear to my eye. I am so passionate and motivated to start my career in the airforce and work very very hard. Most of the videos I have asked this question tell me that even slight scoliosis is an immediate no. Thank you.
These sound like the same benefits the army offers too. Is the main difference just that the air force is more lax?
“Wrong!” Lmao I see what you did there. RIP Charlie Murphy
😂😂😂😂. Exactly where I got that from. Lol.
How much time would I be away from family each year
Currently in the Army National Guard as a 88m (motor transportation operator) aka truck driver 4yrs in out of my 6yr contract hoping to make SGT soon, I’ve been thinking about switching branches an going active duty I’ve heard great things about the Air Force I was curious if I was able to transfer to active duty and make a better life for my wife an daughter and would I be able to reclass my MOS and be able to rank up, now if I were to make SGT in the army how long would I have to hold that rank to keep it if I were to transfer? I know this is a lot but I’m very curious about this whole process
Thanks you video is so inspiring, I'm from after coming to the US to study and I will like to join the air force after completing my studies how do I go about it.
This video should help you with that. Hopefully it helps. th-cam.com/video/Rar4xlJH0JI/w-d-xo.html
I want to apply for OTS and get into cyber but im worried about TS clearance which is required by all cyber jobs in USSF and most USAF cyber jobs 😢
I also got a cyber job that requires a ts. I think they mainly look at your criminal record and whether you are in a lot of debt.
I’ve had a strong desire to join the USAF for a while, but I’m 28 now, not married. I’m just afraid I won’t enjoy it. But at the same time I believe it’ll be what I make it. What advice would you have?
join
Join! Time is running out.
Join
Try it. Go officer if you can if you have a degree. Highly competitive to go the officer route though from civilian life.
21 years old.
Lacking discipline and job experience.
Great interest in computers and computer sciences.
Spent the last three months and spending the next one and a half shaping up to pass BMT.
I thought I'd hate going into service. And here I am enjoying the road to get there and eagerly waiting for the destination.
Love to see it. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Did u join? Are u happy with ur decision
Is it true you can’t join the AF if you have bad credit?
hey im 22 yrs old and i was admitted into a hospital for 1 week for suicidal ideation, does that automatically disqualify me from joining the air force or can i get waivered at all? is it the end of the road for me?
It depends on how long ago and what for. Suicide ideation is one of the hardest things to join with, but it’s possible. You’d want to talk with your recruiter to see if they’ll work it.
At MEPS will they do dental exams? Do you get disqualified if you have a cavity?
You won’t be disqualified for cavities unless they’re causing you discomfort and pain, and you’ll struggle during basic because of them.
I’m wondering if the pay, housing allowance and food allowance also apply to air national guard. I want to go to college while in the guard so if this does apply I’ll be able to go completely for free.
No, the housing allowance and food allowance are only for active duty
I am 32 with a masters. I am not interested at this moment in doing anything in the military with my current profession. Would you suggest i enlist, just to start from the bottom up?
If you have a masters, I would first recommend reaching out to a line officer recruiter and explore the officer routes first. If they don’t think you be competitive enough to be accepted, then reach out to an enlisted recruiter and explore those paths.
Do You Have A Link For A Consultation?
#GreatContent🤜🏾🤛🏾
I’m not a recruiter right now. I’m a recruiting instructor. I just teach recruiters how to do their job now. This video will help you find a recruiter. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, lemme know 💪🏽 th-cam.com/video/SF51i4QdLBQ/w-d-xo.html
I’m 18 and don’t know what to do with my life I’m considering the Airforce I’m just worried about the Asvab part
I'm a 35 yo dropout and scored pretty high don't worry
I keep going back and fourth between wanting to join or not.
I did too for about a year. Finally I just did it. It was scary but it was the best decision for me. 🤙🏽
i want to join but i’m still a little over weight i went to the navy recruiter but he said i need to lose 15 more lbs i won’t how many more i would have to lose if i want to join the air force i would rather be in the air force
I made a video for that. It’ll tell you everything you need to know about our weight standards. Good luck. th-cam.com/video/6FG0GD25v0o/w-d-xo.html
Question; is there any way the airforce can help me get my GED so i could join?
You need GED or HS diploma to join.
You still get your housing allowance after enlistment is over? (I know you said you still work for the Air Force, so is it because of that)
You only get housing allowance while enlisted. The only way you can get housing allowance while not serving is with your GI bill. That will pay your way through college and pay you an E-5’s housing allowance. And I’m still in the Air Force. I have 3.5 more years until retirement.
@@Jodywithawhy awesome. I’m currently leaving my career in chemistry to enlist and hopefully go into cyber operations (I know they need people and it’s hard to retain because of lucrative it is outside)! I’m 27 so I’ll be the old man
Can you choose where you first get stationed? Like choose a job that's at the base you would like?
Here’s a good video which explains the process. I hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/X2Men6AIobI/w-d-xo.html
No. U make a dream sheet and list preferences. They send u where they send u
I’m sure some of this doesn’t qualify for reserves correct? Like health insurance?
😩😩😩. Unfortunately not all of it. The tuition assistance is the same, but pretty much everything else is different. The reserve also have active positions but you couldn’t go directly into them. They usually take some time in the reserve before you can apply.
Can you speak on how to involved while in the Air Force? Are there organizations in the AF that I can become apart of while serving?
As an airman you can join the Airman’s Counsel. It’s a professional development group for E-1 - E-4. You can also join the Air Force association which is a pretty cool organization. Here’s a link to what they do. www.afa.org
When you’re in the enlistment process and they are doing the background check. If one had one time they were let go from a job? Should it still be listed? And if one cannot get a contact for a previous housing complex used to live in...what should I do? In the background check process will they check all contacts?
List the job. They’ll be more concerned if you didn’t list it then actually worried about you being let go. Also for the housing complex just put the landlord for the contact. Do you remember them?
@@Jodywithawhy what should I put down for reason for leaving the job? Basically I was an IT consultant and the consulting corporate culture was not the right fit for me. So they had let me go. I am in a better full time position now.
Maybe seeking new employment or something along those lines. Or if you were actually laid off, put laid off. No reason to hide it.
@@Jodywithawhy ah okay. So I don’t necessarily need to justify why I was laid off. That’s helpful. I will write that down. Thank you Jody!
You do want to say why, so if it was because what you said earlier, it won’t be too big an issue. But the investigator most likely will reach out to your previous employer and see what happened. So keep that in mind. As long as your story adds up, it most likely won’t be a problem
Hey Jody, do you have a good recruiter I can get into contact with? That looks like.. us lol I commented on one of your other videos about my Locs
It really depends on where you live bro. What’s you zip code?
@@Jodywithawhy I sent over a message on the book
How did you buy your house and did you do it immediately or wait until after you served? Also what happens if they move you to a different location. How do you keep your house if you have to pay rent somewhere else?
You need 90 continuous days of service to qualify. Once you qualify you’re able to use it. Upon moving you can choose to sell your home or rent it out. If you’re going to rent it out, you have to be sure you can handle managing rental properties. You can also use the VA home loan multiple times, so the next place you move to you can buy again.
@@Jodywithawhy smart thinking. And thank you for your response! :)
Does the army do this to?
Yep. Pretty much all the branches have the same benefits.
Took my practice asvab today got a 75 . . for navy (they forgot to give me back my DL)... Air force recruiter was on vacation 😭😭😭😭😭
Gotta try another location. Hopefully they work with me. Thanks for all the help!
Ayeeee. Congrats on the high score. That’s awesome. 💪🏽💪🏽. Good luck on the rest of the process. 🙌🏽
@@gorrilaunit99 good luck
Do i have to wait until i get my braces off to join
You can join now, however you wouldn’t be able to go to basic training until the braces come off. You’d also need a letter from your ortho stating expected removal date to process right now.
Wait … Jody can we not grow a beard during service? I’m gonna look like a kid 😂
Only if for medical or religious reasons. Both have to be approved but are pretty easy to obtain.
@@Jodywithawhy Thanks for your reply, your content and most of all your service!
I got asvab and medical done, but I owe money to a closed account and they ppl I owe won’t take my money . so waiting for them to let me pay then off so I can go on DEP and get ready to hop on the AF
You actually don’t even need to pay it off. Just need a payment plan. So make a couple of payments and get receipts. With the receipts write a letter stating how often you’ll continue to make payments. That should be enough to get a financial waiver.
@@Jodywithawhy that would work but the company says no payment plan. They want full payment sent to a P.O. Box as a cashier check abs I was like no. I need a paper trail so I can show my recruiter they recieved Payment directly
Ohhhhh. That’s unfortunate. They don’t have an online way of payment?? That sucks. Cause you could send off that check and never receive a receipt. Be careful with that. Sounds like you got a good grip on it, but they have to have another option.
@@Jodywithawhy that’s exactly what I said. That cashiers check could just disappear. I sent an email to my recruiter explaining hopefully it will work work cause that’s the only thing holding me I already did medical with the army then SPF to AF
Would you advise the air force for someone who already graduated college? (Money wise) like you think the money is enough 🙂
I think so. You may not feel like it right away, but overtime you’ll appreciate the money. Especially if you go the officer route. I made this video which breaks down the pay if you haven’t already watched it. th-cam.com/video/2hDvapuEceo/w-d-xo.html
What are your other options?
@@kenlandon6130 a job
What the least amount of time you can enlist in the Air Force? I heard you can go to jail if you enlist and then decide to back out if you get scared.
The Air Force allow 4 or 6 year contracts. You can get in trouble if you don’t fulfill your contract, so if you join understand that.
Am I screwed if I’ve done psychedelics 3 times tops?
They are allowing waivers for all drugs now. Still no guarantee your recruiter will want to work your case, but they can do a waiver.
Can you join If you've been on disability in the past ?
Yes. But you wouldn’t be able to collect your disability pay if you managed to get back in.
@@Jodywithawhy well I'm currently recovering from a combo of car wreck and long covid if I get my health back to 100% I may consider air force, what should I tell a recruiter would the military be a done deal cause all this ?
Is the national guard and reserves a little different?
Yep. I have some videos on my channel interviewing guard and reserve recruiters, and they explain the differences.

Hey jody I applied online for the Air Force
Ayeeee. Congratulations. If for some reason you don’t hear anything back, this video will tell you how to find a recruiter. Good luck. th-cam.com/video/SF51i4QdLBQ/w-d-xo.html
Can somebody throw me a life jacket ‘cause I’m drowning ‘outchea!
😂😂😂. What’s happening??
Id join if there was a recruiter like you, i need moral waivers & a tattoo waiver for my neck
hey io got a lot of juvenile felonies (2 poseesion of firearms:guilty , possession of marijuana;:guilty: , robbery:guilty, aggravated discharge:; dismisssed.) all at the ageof 15-17 yrs old , i am about to be 21 years old in june , i got a high school diploma and some college credits am i in a good position to get a waiver approved
It will be tough because those are some pretty heavy charges. It will all depend on your reasoning behind why this happened. It will also depend on have you gotten in any trouble since then, and finding a recruiter who’s willing to work this. It’s going to be tough bro. Anything is possible but this will be tough.
all of this was expunged and this week i am going to get the robbery case expunged so my record will be all expunged I havent got into any trouble since; does that make this better better yet unseen ?
It makes it better but you’d still have to mention it when talking with a recruiter. Your best bet is try and get as many letters of recommendation as possible, from high individuals. Maybe the judge if you can get them to, it will help a lot.
@@Jodywithawhy do you do national recruiting !
I’m just a recruiting instructor now. I teach new recruiters how to do their job.
Since your last video or a couple videos ago I applied but my recruiter told me that the retention rates in the Air Force are so high right now its going to be hard to get a job.
Ayeee. Congrats. That’s actually correct. We are overmanned at this point. So jobs are coming slow. Still can join, it’ll probably just be a little while before you actually get a job. Good luck. 💪🏽
@@Jodywithawhy I'm going to apply to space force jobs to see if that increases my chances of getting a job, and thanks can't wait to see what happens.
Damn, i’m still in the process of achieving my target weight, not gonna lie felt a little discouraged when i saw your comment. But i’ll just cross the bridge when i get there. Good luck to you bud hope you get the job you want
@@carlosgorospe4210 if you haven't yet taken the asvab, make sure you do really well on it! everyone else that scores really high on it seems to be getting jobs.
@@Jodywithawhy oh wow! I had no idea! I should get started on the process of enlisting now then! Wow!
Do you still use the same Gmail account? I sent you an email but wanted to make sure it was still monitored
I hit you back. 💪🏽
@@Jodywithawhy you got it! Hope all is well on your end!
Does the national guard come with all these benefits?
No. Not all of them. You’d have to talk with the air national guard recruiter to see what your state offers as benefits.
@@Jodywithawhy thank you, you know that's what I love about your channel, you're very responsive
Thank you. I try to be. I figure what’s the point of trying to help people, if you not really trying to help people. So as long as I can I will try and help answer any questions
@@Jodywithawhy well said.
Wish I was in America, would have joined the navy seal.
Me: Army, Just Graduated, Wanting Cyber, BA Degree, Certs&skills,
JodywithYa “Air Force has a ton of benefits!”
Me: *Looks DD214*, *Looks at Army Uniform* 🥲
Me: ✌️ Aye y’all need any of them Cyber Officers Air Zaddy! 🏃🏾♂️💨😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Yoooo. Lol
@@Jodywithawhy hahaha Lol I’m dead ahh tho My twin and I are righteously contemplating AF Officer vs re-enlisting/Army Officer. Just weighing options and benefits as it pertains to the Cyber field
@@Jodywithawhy love you content btw very informative and straight forward for this grunt
Ok. Well you can definitely use my channel as research. If y’all any questions lemme know. 💪🏽
@@Jodywithawhy most definitely, will stay in touch
Hi!!!
How’s it going?
@@Jodywithawhy I had a talk with an Air National Guard of Texas recruiting officer last friday and now I have a list of papers that I need to provide to get on board.
Ayeeee. Look at you go. Step by step you’ll make it happen. Lemme know if you have any questions along the way. 🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy I will. Thank you so much you have been very informative and very helpful to me in my decision making with all ur AWSOME videos. God BLESS you GREATLY!!!
Man I wish the AF didn’t deny my hearing waiver. Wanted this so bad.
You should’ve just kept clicking the button. Lol at some point I was like “Wait, do I hear it or is it all in my head?” I just kept clicking because I wasn’t sure, although my hearing is great. Try again maybe?
@@NicoleBermz that’s what I did lol that test messed me up
@@joeymcnaught2929 pro tip even if the sound is faint you should still click the button. I aced the hearing test at meps with this strategy.
id say the hearing test was the hardest test the whole process. asvab was easier and the sight test was easier
Do I have to be COVID vaccinated
Currently yes. That is mandatory.
@@Jodywithawhy thank you for telling me I was getting my hopes up for nothing I won’t get that shot ever
@@brunono4329 damn I thought they ruled that mandate unconstitutional. No wonder the military is struggling to recruit, stupid rules.
Hey man I have a serious question can I join the air force with a possession of weed charge in Oklahoma?
I won’t even waste my time if I can’t. I took the charge for the dude driving and I don’t do any drugs nor drink please get back to me man I’ll highly appreciate your advice thanks.
It honestly depends on the recruiters leadership policies. Some leaderships don’t allow any heavy charges, and some do. So if they do, then you gotta find a recruiter who’s willing to work with you. Good luck.
@@Jodywithawhy Okay and what’s a recruiter? And how do I find one? I’m in Lawton Oklahoma And I’m just curious because you’re a recruiter is this the same for you no weed charges allowed?
This should help. th-cam.com/video/SF51i4QdLBQ/w-d-xo.html
@@Jodywithawhy Cool man I’m checking it out I just want out this street life so I appreciate your help. You have been the most help I’ve had so far I don’t care if I’m a chef or janitor or whatever job I just want to be something and make steady good money.
Air force said if you don't get the covid 19 vaccine shot you will be discharged from service!
Yep. It’s definitely possible.
that sucks
：０００
I like the stories of the recruiters.
Sold. I'm just studying for the asvab.
Ayeee. Let’s gooo. Good luck. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤙🏽
