I enlisted as a reservist just waiting on my ship date and dang this was way more information than I ever knew about. Super informative. Thank you

Currently in the reserves DEP program and I leave for basic training in august. Enlisted on 4/21/21 Gotta say it has been so much more laid back than I thought it would be. I’ve done 1 drill weekend and I’m serving at Elmendorf, AFB in Anchorage Alaska. Love it so far I’m so glad I picked the reserves and not the national guard. Reserves gives you so many more options.

In the guard you can get E7 in 8 years and O5 in 9 years, as long as you are in the clique. A additional benefit is, you dont have to be worried about being stationed at cannon afb or minot afb.

Greatly informative! AF Reserve here I come!

[NPhillips]

Been thinking about the reserves a lot lately considering i have less than 2 years left active. I learned so much information and this was a great video.

[juggernaut]

you guys explain this very well. please do more

[AmNichole]

This was very helpful information. Thank you especially for mentioning ART, I had no idea you could work as a civilian during the work week. That’s amazing, with the flexibility of the reserves.

[WickedFlamezZ]

Thank you so much for this video, what a gem of a find

[RadiantResidential]

Exceptionally helpful video! Ty SSgt Walker and Kyle!

[amilcareschettini]

Reserves is national and their mission is international. That's why have national database. ANG is state oriented and their priority is states side but can be deployed internationally

[cece]

That's funny because the Guard offers everything you stated. Technician (Civilian job with the Guard) while being in the Guard and getting the double retirement, AGR is active GUARD reserve so yes the Guard obviously offers that program also. Interstate transfer allows folks to move from State to State so you are not stuck to one State. The biggest difference between Guard and Reserve is that the Guard offers more educational benefits coming in with State and Federal benefits and we offer combat jobs unlikd the reserves. Hit me up for more benefits about the Guard!

Awesome video, and amazing content. This is very thorough, and answers many questions

In GA, finished college and passed asvab with an 85. trying to get into IT which means any Tech job. Recruiter is saying NO opening. Been waiting 8mos. to go BMT

[Radbrad]

Btw this has changed, there is no limit for va rating. If you are still in the IRR you can get an updated PHA and bypass MEPs

[FSHSTX]

Im currently in the ad af and wanting to go reserve or guard... funny enough im from Oklahoma and am a SF member

[topx]

I’m planning to change career from IT field to Medical field and I already got my Bacherlor’s Degree in IT. My question is when or can I use GI Bill as AF reserve? can I use it right away after signing up for 6 years commitment? or do I have to wait for 6 years? I already passed Asvab and Physical test. I hope you can help me before my enlistment.

[josephsampson]

Question. Have the Air Force BMT ever been done during the winter

[monkeyboy]

Something I'm wondering if you'd be able to go over is going from Active duty into the reserves and commissioning as an officer through the reserves and how that process would work.

[anjih]

I heard going reserves doesn't give u full AF benefits while ANG does
