I want to join the Air Force. I have a Purdue degree (2003) in TV/Radio, GPA over 3.0. What are my chances?I have "sports-induced asthma" but no problems with it as I run 2-3 miles 3 times a week. I would like to get TV/radio broadcasting experience in the Air Force. I talked to the recruiter and he said most likely I will go in as an E-3 and maybe work my way up to being an officer. What should I do, am I on the right track and what are my chances of getting in?

Ok I very recently went through MEPS and they are total assholes. they WILL disqualify you if you mention asthma, and will make it a pain in the ass for you to waiver it, especially since it is sports induced and not a case of the childhood wheezies. I personally would not go AF after hearing about how their job selection works, but join the branch you want. But back on topic, If they know you have it, expect several trips to MEPS, and no garuntees... and if you get caught with it in the service, you will face some consequences. But if you think it will go undetected, then do not tell MEPS. Good luck!!!

How about just staying on the civilian side. You get paid a hell of lot more also I think the chances of promotion are better. In the Air Force you're a part time soldier and so you won't be able to expand your creativity as much as possible. Only join if you love your country and you want job security. If you want money and creativity don't join.

I don't know your chances of getting in but there's my two cents.

Yeah that would be what would happen if you came in as a enlisted man but with your degree already in the field you want to go into just go to OTS and become an officer unless you want to be one of the good guys.

If you already have a bachelor's degree, why not go in directly to Officer's Candidate School and skip the enlisted route?

If you have the bachelor's degree, I think the recruiter is trying to rope you in too quick: don't sell yourself short: go straight to officer.
