We’ll hold an initial appointment face to face. I will build your profile in our system and we will review/sign all necessary paperwork. I will provide you a background check packet that must be completed through https://afcep.af.mil/afcep/ in order to get to the next step in the process. We will go over all benefits, answer any questions, ensure you’re ready to join, and are open to current Air Force needs. Air Force needs currently include all mechanical aptitude jobs, electronics aptitude jobs, security forces, and special warfare positions. While we have 135+ career fields available, we cannot guarantee any career field nor create positions based on applicants wants. This step is what allows you to go to MEPS for processing.

Once your background check and profile are completed I will submit a medical prescreen request to  to the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) this will allow us to review your medical records for any concerns. This can take up to two weeks. Once this is approved we will schedule you for your ASVAB and physical. MEPS processing is typically a two day process. We'll complete your MEPS brief in person prior to going to ensure you are prepared to go to MEPS. 

The physical is not a PT test. The physical will be checking qualifying factors such as vision, hearing, blood tests, drug tests, etc. MEPS will be taking precautions and will be screening everyone for COVIDvid-19 traits.  Day  One, you will go to MEPS to complete the ASVAB and then go to the hotel, free of charge, and do your physical the next day on day two. Once the testing and physical is complete, you will know if you are qualified to join the Air Force. If qualified, you will be informed on what jobs you are qualified to do based on academic and physical results. You will complete the Oath of Enlistment thus Swearing your commitment to the Air Force, and be a new member in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP)

Congratulations on making it to this step! DEP is everyone who is qualified and waiting to book a job or has booked a job and is waiting for their ship date. We will complete your DEP briefing and create a list of jobs that you qualify for in the Air Force. You will never be forced into anything that you are not qualified for or requesting. Once a month, our operations center will receive 100+ contracts. At this point they will review every DEP member in Central Texas,  parts of Arkansas, and Louisiana that does not have a job and will align contracts based on applicant's request and Air force needs. Air Force needs currently include all mechanical jobs, electronics jobs, security forces, and special warfare positions. Once you book a job you’ll receive a date to leave for basic training typically within the next 1-3 months.

Getting ready for Basic Military Traning (BMT). You have your date and your job for BMT, this step is just ensuring you are staying qualified to be eligible to enlist into the Air Force. The day before your enlistment date, you will stay in the hotel we provide for you, and then do a brief physical with MEPS the morning before you leave for BMT.

Once you graduate BMT, you'll be headed to Technical training to learn your job in the Air Force. Each tech school is different, and they vary from 5 weeks to 54 weeks. Some tech schools have different phases, so you may change your tech school location before you reach your First Duty Assignment

You've arrived at your First Duty Station! Congratulations on becoming an Airman in the World's Greatest Air Force!
