I want to know if they are lying to an acquaintance about not allowing him to pick an AFSC (or whatever it is called today) in the USAF prior to enlisting.


UPDATE: Per my recommendation last night, he talked to his recruiter. The recruiter said he would guarantee an AFSC if his supervisor would approve it. This sounds promising.

Mayhaps the AFSC your friend wants isn't available at present.

It starts with "Welcome.... I'm SGT Smith............."

I had a new recruit getting pushed to my unit via a Recruiter, but I had to provide a waiver memo for her commute distance (reserves) for her enlistment packet. Anyway, she was a recent dental assistant school graduate. However, in her own county there were said USAR dental assistant vacancies at E4 and below.

I believe they push the openings that higher is sticking the screws to them. I also believe the worse the MOS the high the incentives.

As far as I know, providing the recruit has the scores that meet the AFSC, they can pick any AFSC. Certain ones might not be available depending on the type of contract he or she opts for and as always there are other circumstances.

Recruiters are given jobs to push, as the service is in need of those but that does not mean they are limited to just what is pushed.

He or she needs to decide what they want to do and then stick to their guns and not settle for what the recruiter is pushing. There might be a wait but I guarantee that if they stand up and tell the recruiter no not interested in that and go to leave, the tune changes.
