Hey everyone, if you're really thinking about joining the Air Force, I've created a "Joining the Air Force Starter Pack" Playlist. It will assist you in your journey. Good luck. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXuUcq2bb7w1FpnrFV4FC0p…

I don’t know, man. This sounds a little too good to be true. Let me tell you all a story. I tried to join the navy out of high school about 12 years ago. My recruiter drilled into me “DONT BE JOB LOCKED” so i didn’t, but i scored very high on the asvab and qualified for intelligence, IT, etc and i was pretty fit. I go to MEPS in los angeles and met with the liaison and my recruiter and when i sat down to sign for one of the five jobs i listed they said “we only have culinary, let’s get you signing here on the dotted line....” i said “F’in kidding me? Hell no, a monkey could qualify for culinary! I got one of the highest asvab scores out of this office!” They both start getting angry and say “oh okay so you’re JOB LOCKED THEN?! Wow, you don’t want to serve your country, what a coward and disappointment. Job locked coward man.” I stormed out, drove home, found a new recruiter, joined the air force with the job i wanted. Sure, list three to five you could see yourself doing but if a recruiter says “YOURE JOB LOCKED! STOP IT!” flip him off and walk out of the office. Recruiters get a certain amount of money if they fill particular jobs needed at that time. They don’t give a F*** about what you want, they just want their christmas bonus. Sure, list a couple jobs, but don’t you dare sign a damn thing until you’re completely happy and at peace. Remember, it’s 4-6 years of your life with NO freedoms. Do you wanna he a fry cook for six years or you wanna do your dream job? Ask yourself that before you sign on the dotted line. Just my two cents. I got screwed once, don’t wanna let it happen to any of y’all.

As someone who's been through it before I agree with everything he's saying except one thing. If there's a job you really want don't settle for anything else. As a recruiter they will try to fill the high demand jobs first. Don't just settle for a job the recruiter recommends odds are you'll regret it because it's not what you wanted.

Thank you for this video ! I’m considering joining the Air Force.

Thanks for the insight my brother!

Thanks man my son and I have been looking at the Air Force and your videos are great for him to help him make his choice.

So go in with notes and research , thank you sir

Just got offered a contract for my number one pick, leaving at the perfect time! I feel incredibly lucky and grateful, your videos were a huge part of me being able to work through the process. Thankfully my recruiter is not the salesperson type, and when I expressed doubt she helped me understand that I wouldn't have to put my wife second to be in the air force, as her son also has medical conditions and she always puts him first. Excited to be working with so many great men and women. Thanks again.

Thanks for the informative video!
