You will then receive an email with the pre qualification. Fill out as much information as possible.
Once completed, email it to taylor.booth@us.af.mil and to michael.willis.16@us.af.mil
Once your Pre-Qualification is received, a Recruiter will give you a call to schedule an initial appointment
If any additional documentation or paperwork is needed, such as paperwork for law violations or medical records, your Recruiter will let you know. Once you get the documentation needed, reach back out to the Recruiter and they will then get you scheduled to come in for your initial appointment.
During the initial appointment, we want to get to know you a little bit and really see what you're looking to get out of the Air Force.
We also want to answer any questions that you may have about the Air Force.
We want to get you signed up to take the Practice ASVAB to see if you are ready to take the actual ASVAB or if you need a little more time to study.
If you score well, you will then be ready to fill out the Air Force Job Application.
In this step, your recruiter will either give you a paper Case File or they will create your account on a program called AFCEP to fill out the Air Force job application.
This application is very detail oriented and takes a little time to fill out. Your recruiter will give you about 3-5 business days to complete.
In the application, you will need to list things such as where you've worked, where you've lived, where you've went to school, and you will have to provide reference and immediate family information as well.
Once this step is completed, you will come back into the office for a follow up appointment in which you will sign necessary documentation for enlistment.
Now that your Job Application is completed, it is time for you to sign all necessary forms for enlistment.
The forms and brief description of those forms are listed below.
AF Disclosure Memorandum - Covers Privacy Act Statement and Credit Check Disclosure
AF Form 2030 - Covers Drug and Alcohol Abuse
AF Form 3010 - Covers Dependent Care Responsibility
DD Form 1966 - Record of Military Processing
DD Form 2760 - Covers your eligibility to carry a firearm
DD Form 2807-2 - Covers your medical history
DD Form 2983 - Covers unprofessional activities between an Applicant and Recruiter.
DD Form 93 - Covers your Record of Emergency Data
USMEPCOM 680-3A-E - Covers ASVAB testing information (this is your ticket to take the ASVAB)
You and your Recruiter will sit down and cover all of these forms and you will digitally sign them using a PIN you will create.
Once this step is completed, you will be signed up to take the PiCAT or ASVAB.
Now that your Air Force job application is complete and you have signed all necessary forms for enlistment, it is time for you to take the PiCAT or the ASVAB test.
What is the difference between the PiCAT and ASVAB? They are essentially equal to each other. The difference is that you will take the PiCAT at the Recruiters Office and will later take the PiCAT Verification Test (a condensed test used to verify your scores) at the testing site. The PiCAT Verification Test as well as the ASVAB are conducted at an official Military Entrance Testing Site.
We have a testing site on Fort Stewart. Tests are conducted on Tuesdays @ 0930 and Thursdays @ 1330. You will be signed up for the next available date.
As long as everything goes smoothly and you score well, you are now ready to go to the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS).
Prior to going to MEPS, your Recruiter will set up a Pre-MEPS briefing in which they will go over how things work at MEPS and give you an idea of what to expect and how the process is going to work.
On the morning you are supposed to go to MEPS, your Recruiter will tell you what time to be at the Recruiting Office in Hinesville.
Once you arrive, you will hop on a shuttle and it will take you to MEPS in Jacksonville, FL.
Once you arrive in Jacksonville, you will then stay all night in a hotel (expenses paid for) and wake up at 4 AM the next morning so that you can go to MEPS for your physical to make sure that you medically qualify to join the Air Force.
During medical screening, you will do things such as a urinalysis (drug test), breathalyzer, hearing test, vision test, color vision test, depth perception test, x factor test (lifting weight above your head), a mobility test (duck walk, etc.), have blood drawn, as well as have a one on one with the doctor to discuss your medical history.
As long as everything goes smoothly, you will then sit down with the Air Force Liaison to go over your Job Application information to ensure accuracy. If everything goes smoothly, they will generate a list of jobs that you qualify for based on your ASVAB scores and physical.
Before heading back to Hinesville, you will officially swear in to the Air Force Delayed Entry Program (DEP) by raising your right hand and taking the Oath of Enlistment!
Check out the video below to get an idea of what to expect at MEPS!
Now that you have sworn in to the DEP, your primary responsibilities are to stay qualified, to stay motivated, and to prepare yourself for Basic Military Training (BMT). Your Recruiter is going to give you plenty of tips and advice for success at BMT and throughout your AF career.
Your Recruiter will sit down with you and you will create a list of 10 jobs that you qualify for.
Once that job list is created, you will just be waiting for a job that is listed on your 10 job list to become available. When it does, it will have a date in which you will ship to BMT.
While in the Delayed Entry Program, there will be something called DEP Commanders Calls. You must attend these meetings as your Recruiter has to see you at least every 30 days to make sure you remain qualified and are good to go.
You are now ready to ship to BMT and become an American Airman!
