DevilDawg - I think it's any MOS can try out for it, unless it's an MOS that is in high need and requires lots of training. I would say pick an MOS that will give you enough time to train up for it.

Bro, you forget. The recruiter chooses their jobs. While I pick on the Marines for their process, the AF is the worst for job selection. of course, if all you want to do is be a cct then just be happy with whatever and try out for it. Pararescue is the best they have IMO. Phone Post

I didn't even realize that the realize that AF completely picks your MOS, I thought you could at least pic the field.

Damn, didn't matter for me though since I picked an MOS that most people didn't want. I had a choice of various MOSs in electronics and aviation, but infantry was the job for me. I went to go infantry because if I don't I will always wonder what it would be like to be a grunt. Now I've done well for myself as a civilian, I wonder what would of happened if I would have became a POG.

Infantry IS the only job! USAF reciters will have you pick up to 8-10 jobs. Then every month they pick who gets the job. Let's say this, perfect, perfect world scenario. You get the job you want and know your basic training date. If a guy walks in that scores higher then you and wants your job, they can give it to him and put your ass in limbo.

Doesn't sound like people I want to work for. At least the marines tell you your a fucking marine and a job comes second. AF recruiters are the fucking worst. Phone Post

Never had the "getting dicked over by my recruiter" story that seems to be the theme on here. And I picked AMMO for gods sakes. You have ignored this user.

You have recruiters under you? As much as we in the service think we know everything about it, I didn't know jack shit about the recruiting process until I was made to go to school for it. You can argue all you want about the issue, but I've heard it straight from the horses mouth. I doubt some e1 knows shit. But have fun. Not trying to be a jerk, but regular servicemen know shit about the recruiting process. Phone Post
