    Very interested in Joining Air Force/ANG and going to officer school (Just graduated from a 4 year school with a Finance major) and am wondering what ways to go about recruitment to have best odds of getting into Officer school as I don't want to enlist (for both financial/living arrangement reasons when compared to my career opportunity I have non military route). I'm open to just about anything that'll get me started at 0-1.

    Sure some stuff is more interesting but understand Officer school isnt easy to get into from non ROTC program

    4 run, 2 don't
    In the USMC we called it OCS, but I think the Air Force calls it OTS?

    Just go to any AF recruiter just the same, but you'll ask about becoming an officer.

    I’d reach out to the NorCal/Reno officer specific recruiter that’s in the Sacramento area. My wife is currently in contact with that recruiter trying to become an Air Force officer.

    Did not know/find an officer specific recruiter. Interesting. Did send email to the generic recruiter email for Reno Air Guard (152nd)
    When someone comes in interested in being an Officer, like me and has a finance degree. Are you more inclined to push me towards admin type roles like cost analysis or contracting instead of something I think sounds neat like space ops officer, pilot, aviation resource management etc.

    I do see a bonus posted online for contracting though and I have a gut feeling that'd transition well to civilian life later on.

    Doesn't matter what your degree is in. Could be underwater basket weaving. All that matters is that you have a bachelor's degree. You can be anything from admin to pilot. What do YOU want to be? I'm prior active. Transitioned to guard last year.

    Edit: one thing to keep in mind is what mission/jobs the guard unit your are going to has. Not all guard bases offer every afsc. I had to crosstrain out of my active duty afsc to join my unit. Just so happens this base doesnt have planes :bananadead:

    good note. I'd be open to a lot of things. Sure I want to fly. But I'd need lasik before I could fly the fun stuff. MY research also tells me I'd need to wait to have flight medical at least 1 year post op to test the eyes. Right now ive got -6.25 in contacts prescription which I know is awful. Very very bad. And flying has body dimension restrictions based on aircraft.

    Your awesome will shoot ya a text in the AM
