You can also simply click the AIR FORCE APPLICATION button above and fill out your information.
Your assigned Recruiter will reach out to you to cover pre-qualification information and look to get you scheduled for an initial appointment here at our office in Pooler. Your recruiter will ask you to bring the following forms with you to your Initial Appointment: Birth Certificate, SSN Card, Driver's License, and High School Diploma/GED if you have already graduated.
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 full 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 and sign initial enlistment forms to really start the process!

The forms and brief description of those forms are listed below.

USMEPCOM Form 40-8-1-E - Covers Drug/Alcohol/HIV Testing

USMEPCOM 680-3A-E - Covers ASVAB testing information (this is your ticket to take the ASVAB)
USMEPCOME 680-3A-2 - Covers Authorization for Medical Record Release
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 these forms are filled out, your Recruiter will submit something called a Genesis Pre Screen. Essentially, this is a medical background check in a program called Genesis in which the doctors at MEPS will review and see if there is anything in your medical history that would require more information or could potentially disqualify you from military service. This Pre-Screen takes 1-2 weeks to come back and we will accomplish some other steps as we wait for it.
You will be scheduled for another appointment to take the ASVAB. As you wait for that appointment, you will go ahead and fill out your Air Force Job Application for your Background Check.
sTEP 4. FILL OUT AIR FORCE JOB APPLICATION FOR BACKGROUND CHECK.
sTEP 4. FILL OUT AIR FORCE JOB APPLICATION FOR BACKGROUND CHECK.
In this step, your recruiter 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 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.
You will take the PiCAT Verification Test or ASVAB either at the MET Site here in Savannah or you will take it in Jacksonville when you go to the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) for your physical, depending on availability.
As long as everything goes smoothly, your medical pre-screen comes back good to go, and you score well, you are now ready to go to the MEPS for your physical.

When going to MEPS, it is a 2 day process. We pay for transportation to MEPS, meals, and hotel.
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 Pooler.
Once you arrive, you will hop on a shuttle and it will take you to MEPS in Jacksonville, FL.
Once you arrive in Jacksonville, if you are testing, you will go to MEPS and take your test. You will then stay all night in the hotel 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 Pooler, 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.
