Not uncommon.Response by CW3 Kevin Storm made Feb 9 at 2018 3:40 PM2018-02-09T15:40:27-05:002018-02-09T15:40:27-05:00Kyra Y.3339157<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>More info: I am looking at fall/Sept to apply as a civilian. I heard if I pass medical & AFOQT and all my items are submitted, it will take 6-14 months for me to get my start date after Sept. A recruiter told me that with my degrees not being in high demand, I have a 15% chance of being selected. Is this true? I am interested in Space Ops (satellites), then public affairs 2nd. I'm looking into non-rated jobs and not interested in rated. I would like to become an officer just not sure what the AF needs are with my background. Is this a "hail Mary" pass or is this a possibility for me and my degrees? What can I do to stand out? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

<p class="pta-link-card-description">Army - Fastest promotions of any service, greatest variety of jobs, and best chance of getting the specific MOS/assignment that you want. As a percentage of the total number of individuals in the service, has by far the most number jobs in military intelligence, special operations forces, and special mission units.</p>

I bet dollars to pesos they will take them. Just a thought.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 9 at 2018 5:04 PM2018-02-09T17:04:16-05:002018-02-09T17:04:16-05:00PVT Mark Brown3339649<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Kyra, I would think that in our modern military your particular job skills would be in high demand. Our military has become much more in-tune to psychological issues than any time in our nation's history. Come on in, we need you!Response by PVT Mark Brown made Feb 9 at 2018 7:04 PM2018-02-09T19:04:33-05:002018-02-09T19:04:33-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3347981<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You'll never know how cold the water is, until you place your foot in it.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 12 at 2018 5:56 PM2018-02-12T17:56:00-05:002018-02-12T17:56:00-05:002018-02-09T15:35:07-05:00
