Help! Air-Force? How Long?

Question

I enrolled in the delayed entry program 4 months ago. All the jobs that i selected were administration jobs...everytime i talk to my recruiter he says i havent booked but it should be soon.! Just wondering if anyone know, how long does it usually take to book a administration job in the airforce?

Answer 1

It varies, of course a lot of people want to do admin.  If you were more flexible they could probably get you in sooner.  Are you doing staff admin, aircraft administration,  payroll, supply,  I mean there are many different administrative jobs in the military.    

Answer 2

Look, forget the Air Force and go Marines. Don't sit and wait. Act!

Answer 3

You have to keep checking with your recruiter. They place a request for you and must wait for a return answer from a detailer. If you haven't gotten an answer before you have to raise your hand, you can always back out of your agreement. Don't sign on the bottom line until you have a bonafide job and it is in writing on your contract. If you choose to enter the AF without a guaranteed job, the AF will put you in whatever critically short job that is available that you qualify for. Keep asking your recruiter and let them know that you will choose to back out of your agreement if you don't get what you want. Also have a #2 and a #3 job that you will be willing to take.
