Ready to Join?

We’re now offering enlistment bonuses across a wide range of careers.

Air Force Active Duty offers opportunities for those who want to join the world’s greatest air force and become an Airman of integrity and respect.

Explore over 200 career fields, ranging from flight and aviation to science and technology.

From the moment you put on a uniform, you’ll not only be paid but you’ll also receive low-cost health insurance, tuition assistance, food and housing allowances, 30 days of paid vacation a year, and a generous retirement plan.

Air National Guard

The Air National Guard is a unique military branch where you can serve part time or full time in the state and role of your choice.

Explore over 200 career fields and pick the one that best suits your interests and skills.

The day you join the Air National Guard, you start receiving benefits like tuition assistance, low-cost health insurance, and a retirement plan. Plus, you’ll receive state-specific benefits depending on the state you serve in.

Air Force Reserve

In the Air Force Reserve, you take control of how you live your civilian life. Whether that means pursuing a degree or advancing in a different career, the choice is yours.

Explore over 200 career fields ranging from flight and aviation to science and technology.

Similar to Active Duty, the Air Force Reserve provides a wide range of benefits including low-cost health insurance, student loan repayment, a retirement plan, and more.

Mission and Lifestyle

The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight, and win—airpower anytime, anywhere. Whether full time, part time, in or out of uniform, everyone who serves plays a critical role in helping us achieve mission success. We train for most every imaginable contingency, from terror attacks to global war to catastrophe relief.

For those who feel called to serve, any branch of the military can be a good choice, but deciding which one depends very much on your personal and professional goals and current life circumstances.

The Air Force is like a big family that works hard and plays hard together. While we’re a close-knit community, Airmen enjoy meaningful work and embrace a global lifestyle.

We offer good pay and a full package of benefits that provide an excellent quality of life, including low-cost insurance, living allowances, on-base housing for families, shopping, schools, parks, gyms, and more.

Educational and Career Considerations

Which path you choose depends heavily on your personal and professional goals. Consider whether you want to earn a college degree before joining.

If you have a high school diploma or GED and join as an enlisted Airman, you’ll earn college credits and can work toward a degree or become an officer later.

If you prefer to earn a college degree first, the Air Force offers tuition assistance for two- to four-year programs across the U.S.

If you have specialized professional skills, such as in healthcare, law, or ministry, you can serve as an Officer, which can be a rewarding way to serve while advancing your career.

Service Options

There are three primary ways to serve in the Air Force:

1. Active Duty: Serve full time, with opportunities to live around the U.S. and overseas.
2. Air National Guard: Serve part time or full time in your state, with benefits including tuition assistance and retirement.
3. Air Force Reserve: Serve part time or full time, balancing civilian life with military service.

Physical and Medical Requirements

Air Force careers are often physically demanding. All applicants must be in good health, with a full medical evaluation at MEPS, including blood, urinalysis, hearing, eye, and range-of-motion tests.

If you have health conditions, your recruiter can advise on eligibility guidelines.

Physical fitness is important; it’s recommended to start a workout regimen at least six weeks before training, working out three to five times weekly.

Height and weight requirements are strictly maintained. If you are too short or too tall, or do not meet weight standards, options may be limited, but weight management is possible.
