Getting Your Air Force Job Contract

Getting Your Air Force Job Contract

This is the most exciting part of the whole process! Getting the call/text from your recruiter saying that they got you a job contract!

There are 2 different ways this can go. You may get a contract with a specific job or you can get a contract as an open aptitude such as Open Mechanical, Open General, Open Electrical, or Open Administrative.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Just like you cannot demand a job from a company with no prior experience or education. The Air Force is the same way. If you put a job on your list and get that job and try to deny signing the contract because you don’t want that job anymore, your recruiter is more than able to DEP discharge you and mark your profile in the system as a refusal of contract. This could prevent another recruiter from being willing to work with you.

If you deny a job contract you are offered, you are telling the Air Force that you don’t care about it’s needs, and the Air Force doesn’t need Airmen like that and your recruiter will most likely DEP discharge you.

When you get offered your job contract you’ll be told when you’re leaving for BMT which is your ship date. Your job contract is attached to a tech school start date and a BMT ship date. You can’t request a different job or a different ship date.

You either take the contract you were offered or you possibly risk getting DEP discharged and being blacklisted from joining the Air Force because you’ll be marked as someone who has done a contract refusal.
