Your particular major isn't really a barrier to entry in most federal agencies unless you wanted to do something technical. I would think that you could pretty easily get yourself a civil service position if you so desired.

I haven't really look into the other agencies since I wanted to get into the Navy. I am now, since if the waiver doesn't work out, I'm SOL in regards to my first choice. I've got a good friend working for the Department of State, and obviously I can talk to other Goons too. Thanks for the suggestions, Shimazu. They are very helpful.

If it's nothing that's gonna cause you some kind of wild injury or problem just by working, then it's not so bad. If you are getting a super secret squirrel clearance and lie about it on the interview and get busted, or polygraph and get busted... that's pretty bad. Then again, people I've talked to say that they lied on their application to get in, told the truth on their clearance poo poo, and they were golden. I could say, don't ever lie, but, well...

On the enlisted side, this was an easy waiver to get pushed through. At a minimum, you will draw a consult with an eye doctor. Worst case scenario, you have to submit a Bureau of Medicine Waiver (BUMED). If you have to go through the entire waiver process it can take some time. Expect at least three or four weeks to get everything processed and be prepared to fill out an rear end ton of paperwork. I wouldn't jump into surgery unless you are told it's a requirement. The surgery will disqualify you for a period of time (I think it's 90 days but it may be 180 days). Often times the consult will say your vision sucks but it's correctable with glasses. While you are in the Navy will pay for your corrective eye surgery if you jump through the paperwork. Hekk fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Nov 13, 2012 |

How is the OAR judged? Is it the best score that you get, or the most recent? I got a score in the mid sixties, and think I could do better if I studied some mechanics since I wasn't as ready for that section as I thought I'd be. If I take it again, is there a chance I could shoot myself in the foot, or is it all the best-of, ACT/SAT style? Does it even matter if I got a score in the seventies instead of the sixties, or are they mostly concerned that I qualify and that's it?

Alright my situation is getting a little crazy and I've been dealing with it mostly on my own for years so I'd like to get it all out on paper and get some opinions on my options: Currently 24 years old, 5'10", 148lbs. I was attending college at USF about 5 years ago, got about 50 credit hours and had around a 3.2 GPA, then a bunch of family poo poo happened and I moved around about 8 times in 3 years, and wasn't in a stable enough locale to really continue my education. I started looking into the service, did a lot of research in this forum, and decided to look into the Air Force. My overall plan was to enlist in a job that granted high level security clearance that involved computers/networking to some degree that wouldn't make me want to blow my loving brains out. Figured I'd get out, use my GI Bill to get a degree in something involving computers/networking, and between my clearance, computer/network related job and computer/network related degree, it would be smooth sailing after putting in my military service. After going through 2 or 3 recruiters in Maryland trying to put me in "open general aptitude" I settled on someone 45 minutes away in Hyattsville. Told me I could make a list of 10 jobs, wait in DEP until one of them opened up. Got as far as taking the ASVAB test (Mechanical: 63 Administrative: 96 General: 89 Electrical: 99). poo poo happened, got away from my horrible family, got a decent retail job, and told the guy I'd pick up where I left off in a year. Following year the guy doesn't give me nearly as good of a deal, and a few months into starting the process again I wind up unexpectedly moving to Florida. Go through a few more poo poo recruiters until I find a guy in Orlando that gives me what sounds like a good deal (another pick a list and wait for the job you want scenario). I started working with this guy in August. A month of waiting for him to get the information from my last recruiter (told him I'd get all the stuff again myself but nope!), another month and a half I couldn't do anything because "the systems were down" (apparently a military server base in texas got flooded and took a while to fix), another month dealing with credit bullshit, apparently i need to take the ASVAB again, and here's the kicker: If I don't want a 6-year enlistment, I have to state my case in person to the local flight officer, only the recruiter doesn't know when he can set up an appointment and has no idea if my "explanations" will suffice. Considering I have to keep calling this guy and reminding him of what the situation is it's pretty clear he doesn't give two shits about whether I enlist or not. I'd rather not get out at 30 and still not have a degree. Is this 6 year bullshit thing nationwide now or what? I was looking into Intel and Cyberspace Support mostly and didn't see anything about a mandatory 6-year enlistment in any of the job descriptions in those fields. Right now I'm working part-time at Costco to pay the bills, renting out a studio apartment in Orlando with my girlfriend, but I can't keep putting my life on hold here. Frankly I don't want to go through this process again with another recruiter either. I've been considering just saying gently caress it and going back to school, but I'd have to be working early morning shifts at the same time, I'd have to wait a year to even get in-state tuition, and I've spent the last 3-4 years looking at the military and I'm hesitant to just write it off now. Any suggestions?

Pick another branch of service? In my experience, behind the Coast Guard, the Air Force recruiters have the easiest time finding applicants. It's a matter of them screening out the ones who are unqualified, selling the qualified kids who come in their office, and processing them for enlistment. The Air Force is the go to branch of military for a lot of people who want the benefits of service without the bullshit generally associated with the military. Not saying that's who is in the Air Force but the nature of the service attracts those types. Recruiter man doesn't have a hard time finding people interested. He just has to screen those interested to find the qualified ones. Of those qualified, the ones who are the easiest to enlist are going to get his attention so he can make mission and go fishing. Another branch of service is probably going to be hungrier to find qualified applicants. Go talk to the Navy or the Army. If you are a masochist, you could even try the Marine Corps.

I have no idea how USAF numbers work, but for Army there is no incentive for us to push a 6 year over a 3 year enlistment. An enlistment is an enlistment. Certain jobs in all branches won't have a 3 year enlistment, if the training is, for instance, a year. It's not effective. I'm sure Navy Nuke dudes have long rear end contracts. If I get a chance, maybe I can talk to the USAF recruiter that works next to me. He is way cool and would give me his best guess on something like this. I can confirm that the server thing did happen. That dude was hardly doing poo poo while that was going on.

I had to sign a mandatory 6-year enlistment, but that's because my tech school is ~2 years. I don't know what your tech school is supposed to be like but apparently that's a real thing. I can't find anything specific, but the Air Force liaison made a point of showing me the update just so I knew he wasn't tricking me. it was unfortunate but I'm learning a language and getting a top secret clearance so hey

I forgot the rule but if your training lasts longer than 15(?) months you have to enlist for 6 years. It's pretty much universal across all the services, at least as far as I remember.

I like to think I have a pretty good way of spotting bullshit so when I brought him my college transcripts and he said "we don't need to go through the hassle of looking at those, you'll get the extra promotion with 6 years" I called him out on it. That was when we got into the 4 vs. 6 year debacle. Only the first time he said it was because the training school was too long for cyberspace support (I looked it up and it doesn't appear to be so at all). He said with 6 i get faster e-4 promotion by 6 months, better assignment priority, and I don't have to wait in the DEP as long. Basically either bullshit or trivial stuff.

You have credits to get the extra stripe, there's literally no reason to do it. Most of the assholes that signed 6 years to hit e-4 faster are gonna bomb their test and not make e-5 for a while so you'll catch up with all of them unless you have a super hsld airman in your shop. "Better assignment priority" is complete bullshit, and I'm pretty sure the DEP part is too. Don't let them gently caress you.

You do not get any form of assignment priority. Everyone out of tech school is assigned by needs of the AF-- you fill out an assignment preference sure, but all of the career field managers will fully admit that it doesn't mean poo poo for your first assignment. The ammount of time you have to wait in DEP is dependent on training slots opening up which is not at all dependent on your enlistment length. With your college credits you absolutely should get to put on E-3 earlier, and thus E-4 earlier. Do you know anyone in the AF that can go to the office with you and call him on his retarded bullshit?

I'm hoping that after I take the ASVAB and get all my poo poo together he'll back down. Even though he's given a half assed effort he's been dealing with me for 4 months already so hopefully he'll take something over nothing. And yeah, I'm aware everything he told me is a bunch of crap, the problem is he makes it sound like he isn't going to let me enlist at all unless I do the 6 years. I guess we'll find out. Maybe I will try another recruiter and go through this process AGAIN if I have to, but this is getting ridiculous.

The Army used to do it totally differently, once you actually got into MEPS your recruiter stayed outside the liaison's office and had no input as to what you signed on for. The liaison couldn't tell you anything other than what was available, but what job you picked and how long you enlisted for was between them and you. I don't know if they still do it like that though, or if the AF has anything similar.

I'm looking to enlist active duty in the army, angling for a 35Q but I have concerns about my medical history. I've been under treatment for depression on and off for about 5 or 6 years now. In 2007 I spend two weeks in a hospital out-patient program and have been on and off medication and therapy since then. Right now I'm on light medication and see a therapist a few times a month. I've never been suicidal, been committed or anything like that, have no other mood disorders or other mental problems. When I talked to a recruiter today she was somewhat dubious that I would be accepted into 35Q or possibly any 35 MOS if I was completely honest with a medical history like that. I just said that since I'd need to get a security clearance, I would prefer to be as honest as possible. She also said the doctor who does medical screenings for recruits is a real hardass about his attrition rate so that might add another wrinkle. I'm already pulling up medical records but how much of a problem would this be for me and how much do I need to or how much should I disclose?

All the instructors here in tech school take every opportunity to let us know that the Air Force has no problem throwing people out because of the drawdown, though. I would personally prefer early separation over being re-classed, especially if I had to keep my six-year contract instead of a four.

From what I gather you sign a "blanket contract" at MEPs, honestly I'm not entirely sure what it entails, but you are supposed to sign a second contract with your recruiter before you ship out that supersedes it. It's that one that gives you your job and (I believe) length of service.

Talked to the USAF recruiter. He has no reason to give a gently caress if you sign 4 or 6 or 100 years. If he is telling you 6 years, it's because the job requires that.Vasudus posted:The Army used to do it totally differently, once you actually got into MEPS your recruiter stayed outside the liaison's office and had no input as to what you signed on for.

I don't know if they still do it like that though, or if the AF has anything similar. That's how it worked when I signed up. Now, unless its very unusual circumstances, we recruiters pick the job with the applicant before they go enlist, and providing through the physical and all of that they remain qualified for it, it's what they'll get. USAF on the other hand does some crazy poo poo and it boils down to wishing and praying for your job to open up while you are in the DEP. Same USAF recruiter says the average wait for a guy to ship after enlisting is 8-10 months.

It's been five years since I did any recruiting for the Marine Corps but while I was on the streets anti-depressants were an automatic non-waiverable disqualifier. The services didn't specify the amount of medication or whether the applicant displayed any suicidal thoughts or acts. Behind sexual assault, suicide in the military is the second biggest headline catching issue the services have. Even during the expansion of the Marine Corps from 187,000 to 202,000 no one would consider it. I know it was similar for the Army because if I couldn't work an applicant due to medications or mental health, the Army couldn't either. So I doubt that if you are upfront and honest about the medicine and therapy that the recruiter will be able to put you in. If recruiter man tries to get you to hide those things, just remember that if you make it in, you aren't going to have access to your medication anymore. If you start to have any mental health issues, it will come out that it was an underlying condition when you came in and you will get kicked out and not be able to use any of the VA or Post 9/11 G.I. Bill benefits.

Listen man, I don't want you to take this the wrong way but if I were still recruiting, no matter how hard up I was for contracts, there is no way I would ever even consider putting you in. My whole purpose in life was to put people in but It's too risky and when you get caught it will be a shitstorm. You'd have to stop any meds for at least a month before you even depped. Once you are in you have a huge secret you are hiding from everyone. If you ever have problems, your past records are going to come up. It sounds like you are doing well with light meds and therapy. Don't throw that progress away on a bet that you will probably lose.

You're gonna have to be a lot more specific than 'verbal harassment' to be taken seriously. If it was a sexually degrading comment then you've probably got something. If it was racial slurs you probably have something unless the right backs have been scratched. If it was an NCO yelling at a junior enlisted and calling them a shitbag or something after they hosed up (for the very broad military definition of 'hosed up'), well, welcome to the military.

if she was enlisted I would tell her the same thing but it was just her recruiter throwing a fit. It's not even a particularly big deal, and in fact I will not inquire further about it. As a completely unrelated question, do you lose your security clearance if you receive a general discharge from the military? E: I ask because like I mentioned earlier the instructors are always saying they love to kick people out left and right and I'm curious as to whether I'd be able to keep the clearance to find a job on the outside or not

When we look up jobs based on your AFQT and other variables, the available openings for the individual applicant show up. Of 150+ options in the army, the most I've ever seen for anyone, with a kid with a 95 on his ASVAB was 26 different jobs. 2 months ago I've seen guys with 90+ scores have 2-3 jobs available. What I'm getting at is I can't say what will be an option for you, but if your recruiter comes at you with some poo poo that you don't like, it's honestly what is available at the moment. He is of course going to push you towards it because he wants a contract, but aside from that, there are no recruiter tricks. Sometimes you can call the ROC and get poo poo, but generally it is what you see is what you get. I strongly encourage my applicants to pick like 5+ MOS that they'd be happy with, and then try to find something similar. tl;dr, if it doesnt come up, ask him to call the ROC "rock" and see what you can get. If it still doesnt come up, its genuinely not available and either hold out or look for something else.

Hekk posted:Probably not for secret. Very likely for a top secret. Listen man, I don't want you to take this the wrong way but if I were still recruiting, no matter how hard up I was for contracts, there is no way I would ever even consider putting you in. My whole purpose in life was to put people in but It's too risky and when you get caught it will be a shitstorm. This dude is 100% correct. I'll admit that I give dubious advice on the forums, but it really depends on the situation as far as enlistment. By Army reg, if you got ADD meds for acting like you were 12 when you were 12 you are disqualified. Personally I think it is an over prescribed bit of poo poo. I'll tell you here not to bring it up. If you are currently on meds, that's a big deal. If you come to me and tell me to my face that you are on some poo poo I'm going to tell you that youre DQ'd because I'm not going to risk my career on a 19 year old kid. At the same time I've seen kids DQ'd because their parents thought they should go to counseling while they went through a divorce. edit- "hekk" where did you recruit at, regionally?
