I'll be a sophomore in school after this semester and still don't know what I want to major in really, so im reconsidering enlisting again.

What are some jobs that translate well salary wise into the civilian world?

I was thinking of finance/accounting and IT. Any other options?

Contracting, sensor operator. I will wreck you if you do finance though.

Join the Air Force, go CCT, PJ, TACP, or SOWT. Then you can get a cool "TRAINEE" t-shirt.

Yes they are.

And when you wash out, you still need to wear it whenever possible so you can pretend to be one during your special forces workouts at the gymz

You have a tan flight suit, so just paint your name on that.

Good idea! I'll stop by the bx for paint supplies later. Brb A1C bad@ss checking in

Decided to enroll in AFROTC next semester, a we have to take a physical with height and weight.

For my height the max I can weigh is 186. How does that work for people who lift? The last time I cut I got down to 191 with abs.

Am I expected to cut even more? Or lose muscle to pass the physical?

Depends on who you are working with. My recruiter told me to come back when I could make weight, period. He had no interest in taping me. Just go speak with who ever is doing your recruiting or what ever

My recruiter said something along the lines of 10% body fat if over the weight limit. They would rather have a 5'10" 180lb 25% bf kid than a 5'10" 190lb 15% bf kid. It's not logical, but it is how it is.

keep in mind most AFROTC cadets are 160lb skinnyfat nerds, as will be most of your cadre

you will have to get a sports physical (much simpler than it sounds) before you can start participating in PT, which entails a physician weighin you and checking the box regarding whether you meet the weight standard or not. if not, they'll tape or w/e. it is not like the ROTC cadre will weigh you in at the detachment and then tell you to go cut or else.

regardless, my advice is to just lose the weight now and dont let it become an issue. if you take rotc seriously (which you will have to, as its competitive and a commission is not guaranteed these days), you'll end up finding that 1-2 years from now you won't be lifting and focusing on lifting as much

it was 20% bf for me 2 years ago. subtract waist and neck and has to be 20 or less. i passed at 16% at 5'10 205 lbs at meps and my recruiter told me before i left for basic i had to be 186... little did i know....

My dreams just been crushed.

Cliffs: Former Army 11B Infantryman, joined Army Reserves as 25B I.T Specialist.
Was looking to go to Air Guard as TACP as its something I wanted to do. tried to do branch transfer and they required a physical for TACP, forced to get an MRI for my back injury from 2008 and was disqualified even though i kicked ass on PAST.

Now looking at other options that are available to me: Diagnostic Imaging, Biomedical Equipment, Aerospace Medical Service. Diagnostic Imaging sounds very interesting but heard after tech school there is a 9 month heads on training. Can someone clarify this?

Hmmmm. is medical field something you really want to do, or were those just the jobs that stood out as good jobs? I don't think we have any medical miscers, but we have a few normal posters in here that work in different career fields. Medical seems like a good job if you can deal with working around a lot of females. Hoping someone can help you out cuz.

Will you have to go before the board in person? Or do you just submit package?

[GarthVader]

Nothing like a little notice before deploying. Was supposed to leave a week from now but woke up to a call this morning saying I'm leaving tomorrow. Sucks man but my body is ready.

you can make big $$$ in the guard man. brb a1c making $55k a year. staff sgt with 5 years in making 100k a year. 2nd lt with full time gs job is around 120k a year i believe. just gotta pick the right job.

anyone bio engineer? #1 on my list. what's it like?

Thanks for the heads up. I did look at some pics from the schools website and yea most of the cadets don't look like they lift.

I asked the recruiting commander if I could be competitive majoring in sociology with like a 3.6. He wouldn't give me a straight answer. Can anyone give some insight with this? Im still undecided but leaning towards sociology, CS, or kinesiology. A could probably pull a 3.0-3.3 in a STEM major but im really interested in sociology and know I can pull a 3.5+.

Im in AROTC now (no negs) and they're handing out scholarships to basically anyone with a 3.3+. Anyone think it would be worth it to pursue afrotc or stay where im at?

[samatash]

Competitive for a scholarship? Maybe, maybe not. Competitive for a slot to field training? Yes, that will do. Selection for summer field training is ultimately what will determine whether you can become an officer or not. Those that do not get selected (you find out about midway through spring semester sophomore year) get disenrolled by the cadre and turned away. It's not like Army ROTC where if you will become an officer no matter what and only have to compete for active duty.

If I was given a choice between AROTC and AFROTC and had equal chance at both, I would go with AFROTC no doubt. To give you an idea those who don't make the cut for NROTC or AFROTC head to AROTC, lol.

One last thing. When I mentioned it's competitive, I'm not just talking about GPA. You will be ranked amongst your peers by your cadre and placed in one of three tiers. Factors other than GPA include test scores, leadership in organizations like arnold air society, volunteer work, etc.

Medical field is something I do want to get into. Right now in civilian work I work as a Network Engineer. I used to like it but its so repetitive. I have been looking at applying back to college for something medical related. X-ray tech, paramedic are something I am very interested it.

I don't mind working around females, as long as I stay away from their gossip and problems I will be fine.

I chased money and right now I am not happy. I rather make $50k and be happy then make 100k+ and hate my life as its the case right now.

Two friends are in civilian world, they seem to be enjoying their lives and love their jobs.
