After researching a whole bunch, I've decided to go talk to the Air Force recruiter and attempt to get accepted to OTS (officer Training school)
I checked out the AFOATS website and based on the schooling dates the earliest I could probably get in would be in January since the last training they have listed for this year starts on June 24, and I know there's no way I would have everything ready to go then.
I fit into the AF's weight chart for my height, but I'm not really in shape right now, so thats definitely something I'll be working on, if any one has any hints please let me know.
i'm going to start studying for the ASVAB test as well. I took a few sample ones online and scored 100% on Arithmetic Reasoning, Word knowledge, paragraph Comprehension, and Mathematics knowledge. I did okay on general science, but def. need to brush up. I didn't do so hot on electonics information, auto shop, mechanical comprehension, or assembling objects. The officer job i want doesn't require high scores on those sections, but i figure the better I do on each section the higher chance I have of getting in and getting the job I want.
I read that only about 60% of those that apply to go OTS get in. Anyone have any advice on how to ensure I'm part of that 60%? I know I will have to meet w/ 3 people that are high in command and have an interview.
If anyone has any advice at all, I'd greatly appreciate it!
and as for the dogs (so no one thinks i'm giving them up), laney would stay with mom and i'd have to find a place for Slade while i'm in training.. but if i don't go til January, I would have plenty of time to make those arrangements. Once I'm out of training I would live on base housing, but since i would be an officer I would get an actual house and be allowed to have the dogs! Of course I'd have to make arrangments if I was deployed, but AF deployments only last 4-6 months once every few years, so it would be that bad I don't think.
