How to become a member

The first step is to contact an Air National Guard recruiter to find out if you are eligible. Initial screening will be conducted based on qualification criteria. Your recruiter will schedule you to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test (if not taken in high school) and physical exam. Once “qualified” you will look at the possible list of career fields for you to choose from. You will see the section first hand, allowing for a sound decision on your career options.

Getting a commission

While serving as an enlisted person, you may be eligible to apply for an officer position. You must be a college graduate and pass the Air Force Officer Qualitative Test (AFOQT) and physical exam. You may also be required to attend a technical training school.

No matter what path you choose, you will be given an equal chance to prove yourself. And as you do, you will fuel your future with valuable career training, educational assistance and a steady paycheck.
