Its not just the AF thats cutting its numbers down. Its all the branches in general. As others said, go to a recruiter and talk with them. Oh, and you are still going to have to deal with BS... doesn't matter what branch your in or what your rank is. GL.

I did my stint with the navy and still have friends and family active. They're making cuts there too. A couple of guys on this thread are pretty solid. Follow they're advice.

Bahahaha, I forgot about the duck walk. We had a guy who decided to go commando at MEPS. They gave him some paper underwear to wear. Funny shit.

(Put 88 people on active duty myself during my time as a recruiter.)

That was a bad MEPS pre-brief from an NCO or Petty Officer to set up an applicant like that. All braches' recruiters are instructed to prepare applicants with basics of policy and procedure at MEPS immediately before anybody heads up to the hotel or straight to MEPS.

Leadership failure on the part of the recruiter; no applicant should have any worse a MEPS experience than is already painfully necessary.

Yeah, but I don't need mommy telling me to wear underwear much less do I need to hear it from someone I don't even know. Either way it was funny.
