This was in 2004. My son had to take a test and make a damn good score to get in. He broke his arm when he was 15 and had a metal plate. Because of that he had to get a medical waiver from the AF Surgeon General to get in. The AF is EXTREMELY hard to get into.
If you think it's easier to get in now than when my Dad went in in 1961, you are delusional. There were YEARS AND YEARS where they would offer criminals prison or the military. Now you have get a waiver, letters of recommendation, etc. if you have a felony ANYWHERE on your record, even for the Army. I pointed this out in another thread where people were freaking out thinking we were letting in murderers when in reality it was folks that had something stupid like got in a fight when they were a kid and had zero criminal activity for years before applying and STILL had to get a waiver, letters of recommendation, etc.
Go spend the day at a recruiting office some time.
