Eyesight is the main issue. I've hear that sometimes waivers can be granted but we will see. Eyes are around -3.00

motox, do you fly with the 116th?

Ideally I would like to get a slot (ABM wise) at the 116th Air Control Wing with for JSTARS. Anybody have contacts at the 116th? Also, I've heard conflicting reports as to when you can begin applying for OCS/ANG Rated Jobs. I had a family friend tell me their son began applying (actually doing the paperwork) at the start of his senior year, is this possible?

I have been reading through the CE officer requirements, can anybody verify that a non-Engineering but still technical degree will work (ABET Accredited Construction Management Degree).

Hi guys, been lurking around the forums for a while and have decided it's time to start taking things a bit more seriously. A little bit about myself - I'm beginning my 4th semester out of a 6 semester Bachelors Degree (Construction Engineering - 3.97 cGPA, AGC chapter VP, Pre-Law Club, Competition Leader Student) at a school without AFROTC and at my time of graduation, I will be 20 years old. Ideally, I would like to commission into either the ANG or Active USAF as a CSO/ABM (I know it's not popular, but I'd love to talk to some ABMs about the field as well) or into one of the Engineering/Construction Officer AFSCs. The general consensus I have gathered is to start speaking with a recruiter now, and most likely begin paperwork in 4-6 months. I wanted to know, given my schooling and age, do you think commissioning straight out of school is plausible for me? Im in the SE USA, and would be willing to relocate to any guard units in the area that had openings as well. I just wanted to get some no-BS answers before I go to the recruiter. I've researched the CSO field HEAVILY, and that is my first choice, as becoming a pilot is a no-go. Any information about my situation, and the actual chances I would have to commission out of school in any of the AFSCs above would be really helpful! My overall goal is to be an AF Officer, if aircrew doesn't work out, so be it - just pinning on the gold bar is my goal.
