In this video I talk about Aptitude contracts and why I truly believe them to be a great tool the Air Force uses. There is a ton of information I could talk about here, but I did not want to go too deep. I look forward to answering questions.
Have a great Air Force day!

I signed a 6 year General Aptitude contract and I also got told all throughout BMT that I was going to be put in security forces but I ended getting medical as a 4N031 in aerospace medical services. I wanted medical and so I got medical. Going in open general was pretty worth it because I got a job that has a lot of hands on stuff and a lot of opportunities for education and I have met a lot of new people and future coworkers that I’ll be serving with. It’s pretty awesome!

I went in open electronics in 89. Thought I was getting hosed. Turned out to be awesome. I had my EE degree and years of ham radio experience. In basic you will get a appointment to chose your job. I chose wideband. Saw a thing on there called a bypass test. I qualified to take it and passed. So I skipped tech school. That was a double edge sword. Took the 5 level tests for both wideband and satcomm before those afsc's combined. I was special :) I already had a good afoqt score before enlisting but did not have a year to spend on getting a package ready and honestly it would have average at best. 3.5 years later I went to OTS. I was already doing a comm engineers job as a SrA. So went right back to my same desk as a 2lt. Long story short. Open contracts can work out great. Your AF career is what you make it. Just work hard. Don't eff up. Care about the people around you. Take advantage of the opportunities you are presented with. And don't be shy!!!! Stand out.

Is it possible to be offered a job from a different aptitude area that you were given if you wanted it? For example Mech contract being offered an air crew job that is general aptitude.

@@airforcerecruiter3662 Yea I got my top secret clearance taken away from me so I am only left with avionics which I heavily don't want; client systems, PMail, and ground systems. Electrical was my highest on the ASVAB that's why I am going open electrical but I don't want to do electrical I want admin job. That's why I was wondering if I can get to put down some other jobs from a different aptitude.
