Thanks for the kind words and the great quote. RIP to the legend🏁

Thanks for watching bro! Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions during your process. Hope to see you out here🤙🏽

you’re choosing your job so you’ve already graduated BMT right? If so, how bad was it? I’m looking to go in to the air force and i am nervous about BMT.

@@sagedanaenot necessarily, I’m choosing my job list right now and I just got finished with MEPS. And once I find a job, then I will go to BMT

Hey, preciate the support! That means a lot. I’ll keep it up for y’all👍🏽

you can always join after college if you would like. Go officer side if you want to apply that degree of yours.

@@Noremac2310 I Have A Question, Are You Able To Join During College?

@@boldassbrother118 yup I’m gonna do computer science

@@danbautista2070 Alright Bet! That Makes Me Feel Better!

Question... So you joined as a reserve which is part-time. You choose something in the airforce and you stated you loved it. Now is it a case you went back to school outside of what you were doing?

Or is it a case that you go into the air force and what you choose to do is classified as a degree?

Yoo thanks for watching bro! Glad this video helped. Remember to take care of your body with stretching an recovery as much as you use it. Hit me up if you have any questions about jobs your interested in!

I appreciate the support🙏🏽. Thanks for watching

recruiters lie so do your research

Best of luck!

it’s only 7.5 weeks! you can try and save up some money to make sure you have a sitter. this would put your mind and ease and help you in the long run

Air force reserve or active duty? With reserve it would be easier for you if you're not married. Idk much about active duty though. I thought about joining the Air Force too about 10 years ago but I was in the same situation as you. I also LOVE my cat like he's my baby and was on my own with him since I was 20. Now I'm 30 and married and considering joining again. How's it going for you so far?

How’s it going did you join?

Cat gotta go

Hey Tim, thanks for the support💪🏽. To be honest, i might, but I really don’t know where I’ll be 20 years. I know what I want to do, but where exactly I’ll do is something I’ll keep looking to figure out as I grow. I love the Air Force. The people I meet, the things I get to do, and having a job that has a purpose for all of the people in this country. If I’m able to stay in this Air Force for 20 years, it’ll be a blessing. I’ve decided that I will keep serving as long as I keep finding value that I can bring here. Hopefully for a long time I’m the Air Force, and in the areas I live as well.

Preciate the support man! I signed a 4 year contract. I came in with some school credit, so I still got E-3 rank. Good luck with your process! Let me know if you have any questions.

Preciate you’d support man! Heck yeah, a bunch of people ride. A lot of bases have classes for beginners and experts for free on base too.

Hey brother, glad it still worked out for you. Everything for a reason, there’s plenty of great careers. I’ll see you out there💪🏽

Hey, some else on the channel asked: “Is it true that if you are a non US citizen after tech school you cannot be stationed overseas?” Do you know the answer to this?

Wait. What can you do as a permanent resident I cannot find a single video about persons who are permanent residents choosing jobs in the military. My #1 aim is to do Diagnostics imaging however could I? Hey id appreciate your response!

you can't have a cyber job if you're not a citizenship yet?

Hey, thanks for watching bro. From what I’ve heard, Special Missions Aviator is an in demand job. There’s a good chance you’ll have it depending on what else is on your list. Have you been to MEPS already?

@@thelifewithkev no I haven’t yet but I’m planning on going next month but I’m not signing a contract yet cause I don’t want to get sent to BMT right after graduation, I took my ASVAB at my school in September last year and academically qualify for the job already

Preciate your support man. I’ve been in a little over a year. I signed for a 4 year.

You’re on the right track bro. Half of choosing the right branch to join is understand the culture that you night align better with. I hope my vids give a good viewpoint in the Air Force, and I hope you find some good soldiers to talk to for their story as well. Both definitely have their own unique strengths.

@@thelifewithkev thank you for your support and videos bro, keep it up it does help to have different points of view and experiences out there. 👍🏼

Yup, it’s Picture Me Rollin

Welcome to the fam brother💪🏽

Yes, that is correct. After getting your ASVAB Scores at your first MEPS visit, you’ll make a list of jobs you’d like with your recruiter. Once of the those job becomes available, you’ll receive a ship-out date for BMT. When you ship out, you’ll go to the MEPS station for a second time for some final screening and paperwork before leaving for Lackland. So yes, you will leave for basic with a guaranteed job, or at least a guaranteed career field.

@@thelifewithkev thank you!

It’s a great job man. Honestly one I didn’t know about until I got offered it. It’s a lot more hands on than the other cyber/Comm jobs, with being outside setting up terminals and equipment. The field is more about telecommunications, such as satellite dishes, or tactical radio setups. I like that I get to be a bit active instead of sitting at my desk all day. We don’t learn a whole lot about networking like other cyber jobs do, but we still get Security+ certified and there are plenty of jobs on the outside for it too. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey Christian, sorry for the late response. If becoming an officer is something you really want to do, I would keep trying. Getting into OTS is very competitive, but the minimum GPA is a 2.5, which you exceed. I would look to improve your strengthen your package from another angle, like a higher AFOQT score. This test score is crucial for acceptance. You can also try another recruiter than can work with you to find options.

Hey man, for joining out of high school, I’d say mainly just take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way. Enjoy traveling, meeting new people and learning new skills. Volunteer for everything, do things that make you uncomfortable, and find a way to see the positive in any situation. Some days will be a little rough, but keeping your head up and focusing on the good will always help you find best moments. You’ll be ahead of a lot of guys your age, with starting a career and having income. Learn how to take care of your money, how to save and put it in the right places. That’ll put you far ahead in the future. Also, take advantage of free education and go to school. Learn skills and get a degree that’ll put you ahead in the military or in the civilian world. You’ll learn to mature in the military, but at the same time don’t be in a rush to make grown up decisions. Keep people around you that are positive and have the same goals you do. Don’t move too fast with the ladies and stay away from alcohol man, you can still have a great time without it haha. Enjoy and take it all in bro. You’ll have tons of experience and memories. Wish you the best of luck.

So I got a bit lucky. A slot opened up from someone who dropped out, so I was only in DEP for two weeks. A month and a half isn’t bad so far, I know people have waiting 2-3 or even 6 months to a year. If it’s for a job you really want, it’ll definitely be worth it.

Yes, though there are more in the Army the Air Force does have combat jobs. They fall under Special Warfare, and are called Tactical Air Control Party (TACP), Combat Controller (CCT), and Pararescue (PJ). These jons require a more intense PT test (PAST test) for entry as they work under the Special Operations umbrella. Outside of Special Warfare, Security Forces is the nest closest combat related job in the Air Force. There are also some lesser known combat related jobs, such as Special Missions Aviator. All worth checking out.

Hey, yeah I have, I’ve been interested in going officer. It just may be easier for me to go through OTS if I decide to, since I’ve already completed some college.

You usually stay in the dorms until your 3rd year mark, you reach E-4, or you get married or have a family. Whichever comes first. Some bases allow you to move out earlier, depending on how much space is available. If you’re going in as E-3, you’ll probably be in the dorms for 2 years max, for you to hit E-4. E-4 BTZ or signing up to move out early because of limited space can speed that up. Check out my “Air Force Dorm Tour” video 👇🏽. I talk about it some there too.

@@thelifewithkev Thank you!!

Thank you for the support. God bless you as well🙏🏽

Hey, a lot of them are recommended to me, or I look up a topic I’m interested in. I usually just go to Amazon to order them. They’re pretty cheap for a paperback copy. Small price did a great investment back into yourself.

Hey man! If you want to come into the Air Force as a pilot, you’ll need to be an officer. Since you’re still in high school, check out the Air Force Academy. It’s a four years, you’ll be done with college (for free) and you’ll pretty much be guaranteed a pilot spot. You should be able to start the application process your junior/senior year. Grades are important, so it’s good to do your best on the classes you have. Here’s a link for more info www.usafa.af.mil/ For the fitness stuff, being consistent is the most important thing. I’d say keep working out, more body weight stuff (pull ups, push-ups), start getting into running a bit, and focus on clean foods. You never need all of the fancy protein powders or supplements, just a healthy balanced diet. Here’s a link to the max weight for height too. www.airforce.com/how-to-join/prepare-for-success/meet-requirements

Thanks kev

You will go to technical school right after basic training for whatever your job is (aviation, communication, etc.). Throughout your career, you may be sent to other school for additional training as well.

Hey, here’s what my friend who’s in maintenance(armament systems) said: They choose our shred for us , you can try and change your shred once you get to tech school but I only know people that get it changed because they get an aircraft that requires top secret which means nukes and some people don’t feel comfortable handling nukes . Armament basically loads the munitions/weapons on the aircraft, troubleshoot any problems with weapons , so basically anything that’s wrong with a gun , missile or anything we try and fix it. The Munitions (Ammo) which is a different AFSC makes the bombs and missiles , so they make them then we load them , it’s basically a mechanic for an aircraft. it’s a pretty chill job overall , just in tech school you gotta be willing to pay attention, just like any other tech school , also sheppard afb is very chill and lenient, so if they come here they’ll like the freedom , but yeah weapons is cool and also in order to change your aircraft other than the request thing , you gotta reach a 5 skill level , it’s easy to get , everyone gets their 5 skill level after 1 year at their duty station of doing CDCs , the quickest someone can get 5 skill level is like 7 months. Hope this helps, if you have more questions for him, let me know, I can connect you to him.

Hey, I’m not too sure how that process works. If you talk to a recruiter they probably would know a lot more. For getting cyber specifically it’s gonna depend on your ASVAB scores in certain sections. If you check out a cyber job on one of the websites from the description, it’ll tell you the score you need. Hope this helps.

Hey, about a year. Check out my first video, I tell a little more about how I joined.

Hey, I don’t see why you couldn’t roller skate on base. The only thing I know for sure, is that if you’re on base, you have to have on protective equipment (helmet and such). Let me know if you have any others questions. I went to college for a bit too before joining. Thanks for watching!

@@thelifewithkev Thank you !

Akwaaba ! What questions do you have? Feel free to message me on Instagram as well

If you’re able to join the Air Force at all, then cyber-related jobs should definitely be available to you if your ASVAB scores are high enough, and there are no major issues with backgroud checks. Your general score looks good, you will need to get around a 70 in the electrical section as well. I would check with the reserve unit you plan to join to see what comm/cyber jobs are available at that unit. The process is a little different than active duty

@thelifewithkev Thank you for the reply, I will speak with my recruiter. Thank you.

I believe you could leave the rest blank, but others may be chosen for you. I would ask your recruiter the same question, and do some more research to see anything else you might be interested in.

I’m not too sure. I don’t know anybody personally who’s made the switch, but I know it’s possible. A recruiter or leadership might be able to answer those questions.

You’ve got time to do your research now. KZfaq videos and just exploring what’s available on the AIr Force website is a good start. The job preference list you make is going to be the key, man. They may offer you jobs that leave sooner, but if you know it’s not a job you want, than there should never be a force to take it. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions bro.

@@thelifewithkev appreciate you man💪🏼

Im planning on it as well, deff let me know if you fully go through with it so we could have references 🙌🏾

@@supashad I’m gonna be talking in person to my recruiter next week about the jobs and my process on joining because I still don’t know what job I want to do in there

@@Slerveyy calling mine for the first time today. Just gathering more intel. Interested in air force currently but planning on transferring to space force later down the road.

Honestly man, I’ve enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I love that what I do feels purposeful, and I’m always problem solving and being challenged everyday. There are a lot of people here. There are definitely days that aren’t great and will get you down, but the highs have outweighed the lows for me. There are a ton of opportunities to learn and do new things , you just gotta put yourself out there and go after them. My next goal is actually to finish my degree and commission as a officer . I hope to show you guys that journey too. It’s still to soon to say I’ll do 20, but my idea so far is I’ll keep going until I feel that I’ve done everything I want to here.

@@thelifewithkev That's great man. I'm going to MEPS and stuff hopefully sometime next month for the air force, so I wanted to get some opinions. Most people seem to really like their experience and end up resigning. I plan to commission with my degree as well late next year-early '24, and I'll be enlisting as E-3 also. Ultimately, I want to be a pilot of some sort, whether it be in the aircraft or RPA, but I'm really hoping to land a job as an RPA Sensor Op or something involving aviation and build relationships and make some connections/potential references while I'm waiting to be able to commission. It would be great if you're able to document that process later on. Keep it up!

27 is not too old!! you would have to be in the dorms for at least a year. You would have your own dorm room though, and just share common areas.

Mary is right. The cutoff age for the Air Force is 39. You’ll also have your own room once you get to your first duty station.

Ofc. There are homosexuals everywhere

Lmao

dude the hell with rules abt sexuality if u wanna join the air force go for it the world aint out to get u due to ur sexuality
