![]() The Air Force works closely with the Intelligence Community as I'm sure most Intel MOSes do, but I do feel the quality of training is much better in the AF (for Intel that is). So, I plan to switch Monday from Army to Air Force. ![]() I didn't mind going mustang, going enlisted to see if I like the lifestyle because I wouldn't want to have become an officer just to not like what I chose to get into. I hear that Enlisted Personnel eat Butter Bars alive, especially the ones that come out of ROTCs. I didn't want to be placed in such an important position with no previous military experience. Some may ask, why don't you go officer? I did try in December, but then I decided against it because I don't know anything about the Army. I have a bachelors degree in International Relations from Virginia Tech. These scores made me feel like a nobody compared to those recruits who got 98 ASVAB and 135 DLAB. Either way, the ASVAB says A and the DLAB says B. This could have been higher, but the last portion of the test flashed the rules, and I didn't get to read them, so I was oblivious to what I was supposed to do and had to guess. I didn't get to finish MK before it timed out. I still got a 71 and I know if I had paid attention, I would have been in the high 90s no lie. It kept giving me Pythagorean Theorem, and I had to do all the calculations for the square roots. My ASVAB score is a 71, and this could have been higher if I kept track of time during the Math Knowledge portion. My family and my grandparents, and almost everyone has been telling me to go Air Force, and I was discouraged from trying it out to begin with because I didn't think I was smart enough. ![]() Last Thursday, the Air Force recruiter was actually there and looking to do some recruiting. So I became exasperated with trying to join the Air Force because I became convinced they just weren't trying to recruit people. ![]() I left a message, she never got back to me - this was back in January-February by the way. I even took her business card and called her mobile phone. I considered this a sign since I had been trying to inquire with the Air Force, but every time I visited her office, she was never there. Last Thursday, I had to redo my fingerprints for the third time. Going to MEPS has been taking forever, and I was supposed to go last week, until 1) Thursday was full so they moved me to Friday, and 2) can't do Friday because the FBI rejected my fingerprints for the second time. I'm not going to say names, but I was with Recruiter A since December and she recently retired at the end of February. I was going for the Cryptologic Linguist position since I love traveling, learning different languages, and studying cultures. I was going to join the Army, and I have been in the process since December 2011. ![]()
