Let's discuss it. So, you will begin earning college credits straight away while working within the Air Force.

This is a particularly attractive aspect of joining the Air Force if you hope to train and progress through the ranks faster.
Working towards your college degree on the side will enable you to work towards becoming an Officer. Alternatively, if you enlist having already attained a college degree, the Air Force will work with you to train in effective and responsible leadership.
This will also aid in you working towards becoming an Officer. On the other hand, the Air Force also desires those who have gained specialized, professional skills such as ministry professionals, healthcare professionals and law professionals, and would like to become Officers in the Air Force. This is the perfect option for anyone looking to take their career in a totally different direction, even later in life.
