How many years do you serve in the Airforce? Does it depend on your job?

Question

What are the best jobs or wanted careers that the Airforce wants? I have heard they are looking in the medical field, and computer field? Can someone give me the types of careers wanted in the medical and computer field?

I have a sister who wants to do pharmacy. I'd really appreciate it.

Answer 1

The minimum serve time is EIGHT years.  You can do 4 active and 4 IR or 6 Active and 2 IRR.  IRR is the Inactve reserves.  You don't have to go to work, you don't get paid but if they need you, they can reactivate you to Active Duty.

Answer 2

the amount of years that you devote to the air force depends on the job. currently there is almost a full years waiting list for medical, admin, and legal jobs.  

Answer 3

And the only way to get on that waiting list is to apply to join.

That said.

You'd need to talk to a recruiter to see what jobs are open.

Here's a link to Air Force jobs it has job descriptions and what ASVAB scores and other qualifications you need.

Answer 4

The length of time depends on your contract. Some jobs do require your contract to last a extra year or two.

As for what job should you do...thats up to you!

Go on google and do a search for the USAF jobs/occupation fields.
