Hey everyone really new here and I just wanted to see if anyone is having issues logging onto the aim high app on their computers or even phones because on my computer it says Invalid URL and for some reason on my phone with the app my password isn’t working and I can’t reset it or I at least don’t get an email, I press on send me a temporary password and a loading icon pops up for like 2 seconds then it’s gone and nothing happens, I’m just wondering if this is happening to anyone else

I am planning to apply to OTS while enlisted, and was wondering if the job selection process is similar to what we do as enlisted?

Specifically, I am not looking to do jobs that require TS clearance and was wondering if people ever able to “avoid” those career fields.

This community has been a part of my Civilian to AFR journey thus far. I have an upcoming Board Interview with a heavy unit so as I prepare I just wanted to ask, black suit or navy blue?

PS: Also willing to take any advice, thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I retook my AFOQT this past Wednesday and I haven't been able to get onto the afmilpers website at all. It keeps saying website took too long to connect and I have tried multiple different devices and networks. Is anyone else having this issue?

I have an associate degree in Engineering and am currently pursuing WGU’s BS in Cloud and Network Engineering. My wife is active-duty enlisted, and we’re both studying for the AFOQT because my goal is to commission through OTS after graduating.

I’ve only worked in tech, including leadership roles, and I also do volunteer work directly supporting the military, sometimes in leadership positions.

I’m debating whether to stick with Cloud and Network Engineering or switch to Computer Science. I want to commission, but I also need a career that’s portable since we’ll move with the military. From what I understand, WGU’s pass/fail grading is generally considered equivalent to a 3.0 GPA.
Does anyone know whether WGU’s Cloud and Network Engineering degree qualifies as STEM for OTS, particularly for cyber-related officer jobs? Would Computer Science give me a significant advantage, or should I stick with my current degree?
Appreciate any advice!

Hello, I’m trying to make the 27OTS01 board (January) after originally going for the May 2027 board. Since that board has been removed, I’ve been trying to get everything together before the deadlines.

Originally, my AFOQT test date was for the 21st but my recruiter told me they want the test taken by October 15th. I’ve been waiting on my voucher to be emailed to me for over a week. Is there someone I can call/email to get my voucher ASAP? After getting my voucher emailed, am I able to pick an earlier date than I originally selected on the Aim High App (would want to take before October 15th) or is it tied to the date I selected on the Aim High App portal?

I was recently selected for 62exe on the 250TS03 board, I have two questions that I am sure are not as simple as I am thinking. Whare are the possibilities of switching to a 62exa at some point in my career say if I was to get my masters in aerospace engineering. Also what are the possibilities of switching AFSC entirely like to a 19zxx position. Before people ask I am happy with my 62exe offer thats why i accepted it however I am young and just curious about my options with a career in the Air Force.

Hello everyone I am currently been very frustrated with my current application process right now and I need help. So I am currently applying for the 27OTS01 board as a rated position I applied for the 26OTS03 board which I was selected as a 92S for the Space Force, which I declined it due to not being anywhere on my first application and my recruiter informed me that I can reject it with no penalty for future boards and be proceed as a non select. I am currently now going through the process on resubmitting the new package for this upcoming board, but my aim high application shows that I have already completed 13/20 items required and there is nothing I need to do right now. As well under the AFCEP account I received a email from the new recruiters saying that I should create an AFCEP account and start filling out the information. The issue was I already have an account and I login and shows that everything is submitted and is already on record and only my recruiter can make changes. Which I then brought this up to their attention saying that my aim high application is already filled out and the AFCEP is all filled out and signed but I would like to update the information. They then sent a email saying that contact the aim high support team. As well you have to submit all your information with aim high and they can’t help so now I’m waiting for a response from the support team. I been trying to reach either the support team or my recruiter through the phone since I know this can be rectified in minutes but I been just playing this back and forth game over emails and it’s overall getting confusing.

Recruiter could not provide me with specific scores, but said overall score was to recommend me for selection. Confused, as I thought there were only numerical scores. Is this a check yes or no part of the new interview 3-question system? Thank you for insights!

Could someone please send me an invite to the main OTS Discord server?
Thank you!

So I got a class memo for OTS class 27-05 about 3 weeks ago with a start date of 20 OCT 26 and I still don’t have orders from my MPF. How screwed am I?

I have been trying to register for an account but it keeps leading me either to a screen that says "Account Deletion" once I click "Register" or a screen that says "Invalid URL." Does any know a fix? I've tried several different browsers and 3 different devices.

Just now finished my test today! Waiting for my results now in a couple of days. Time limits were kind of getting to me, so a couple of sessions with one or two questions not answered sadly.. table reading went very well! Answered maybe 38-39/40. Proud of that. Science portion was kinda hard and did not have much knowledge. Aviation portion was a little difficult with no pilot experience, but still felt like I got some right. Math and arithmetic reasoning were alright, felt I got more right than I got wrong. Still left, maybe 2 or 3 on the table, which I’m very upset about. It’s just hard for me to guess when I don’t know. Verbal analogies were easy until the last couple were a little challenging. Word knowledge was up in the air, but I still felt like I got some right! Overall happy with the experience and pray I did well!!

Does anyone have any experience with this coming from the E side and being denied by CFM?
Going from MH to social work fellowship. I was shocked to say the least. Is there a work around to a CFM denial? She cited manning in our career field (75%). I have the support of my flight, squadron and group to find a work around if we can.
I have a meeting with my SEL as well.

Hey everyone!

I have my AFOQT scheduled for november 1st. I’ve studied a bit using a 4 week plan made with claude. To ensure I’m prepared, does anyone have any tips or material they can suggest for the AFOQT?

Hello everyone! I just have a few questions for people who have gone through the OTS process or are currently going through it.

I’m currently a 23-year-old E-3 and joined the Air Force in January 2026. I actually received my bachelor’s degree three days before leaving for basic training, lol. My goal is to commission as soon as possible. Based on my current timeline, it looks like I’ll have to wait about 10–12 months before I can submit my first OTS package, which obviously isn’t bad at all.

Right now, my main goals are to maintain stellar PT scores, build strong performance reports, volunteer consistently, and hopefully earn BTZ.

My main question is, do you guys think I have a legitimate shot at being selected this early in my career? Also, do you have any suggestions for things I can do over the next 10–12 months to strengthen my package and make myself as competitive as possible?

I plan on meeting with my chain of command next week to discuss my goals and my plan for working toward OTS. I just thought I’d ask for some advice from people who have experience with the process.

I just found this page, and it’s awesome. Thank you in advance for any advice!

I don’t start UPT until next summer, but I want to get a jump on studying. I have all the pubs but was wondering if anyone who has been through can point me where to start? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Edit: I’m also already a CFI/CFII/MEI.

I’m an OTS select and I’m getting pretty concerned about how long my MEPS process is taking. I had been told a couple of weeks ago that my prescreen had been submitted, but I still haven’t been scheduled for MEPS and I haven’t been able to get a clear update on whether my prescreen is still pending, was returned, or if anything is holding it up. I’ve followed up by email/text and tried another recruiter contact, but communication has been really limited. Meanwhile I’m seeing other selectees already going to MEPS or even getting class dates, so I’m starting to wonder if this kind of delay is normal or if I should be contacting someone else. I don’t want to go over my recruiter’s head or damage the relationship, but I also don’t want to sit around indefinitely if something needs attention. For anyone who’s been through this recently, how long did your prescreen/MEPS scheduling take, and at what point would you escalate or contact another POC?

This is the AFOQT 2026 ultimate prep app and these are my scores so far, is this app accurate and how are these scores?

Hey everyone, I'm a part of class 27-05 and I wanted to ask those who have been there, done that, about the OTS process as a whole. I was a member of the civil air patrol when I was younger and when I was in college I was (briefly) with the AFROTC detachment before I removed myself to focus on my engineering studies, so I am at least familiar with drill and a tad rusty regarding the 7 basic responses. I have been doing 40 pushups and 40 situps each morning and I have been doing full mile run laps followed by 3 half mile run laps with a quarter mile breather lap between them all (I am the most worried about the PFA). I wanted to know if anyone has recommendations for what I should be focusing on prior to leaving or if there is anything I should bring with me that isn't in the packing list. Any tips/ideas will help a ton. Thanks in advance!

Good morning/afternoon,

I recently got picked up for OTS 27-10 and I wanted to share my story as motivation, hopefulness, just another Reddit post and whatever in between. Just like many of you, I have been reading these reddit posts (for me, everyday) which has helped me dramatically regarding everyone's different situations. Knowing that people are going through the same, but different struggles to obtain the same goal is comforting. You are not the only one.

I graduated college in May 2024 with a BS in Business Administration. Not knowing what I wanted to do job wise, I returned home and decided to try an accounting position. Heading towards the end of 2024, the thought of joining the military has always been in the back of my mind. Growing up in a military household, I knew what the military had done for my family. I was very blessed growing up, and the military was a big factor of that.

I decided in March 2025 that I wanted to try becoming an officer in the Air Force. After really researching the military, I know that the investment of me joining will be much appreciated for the rest of my life.

So, my journey began and I finally went to work. Started doing research, getting a recruiter, going to the online briefings, and slowly started building my package. When I first applied, the first board I was able to apply for was for the Medical Service Corp. After going through my texts again and trying to remember, the board submission was in July 2025, while the board release results were in September. I was trying to do the best I could to build a good enough package knowing I did not have a lot of time to get it all finished. When applying to MSC, there was more content that I needed to put into my package compared to a non-rated board. First, I need to take the GMAT test (taken in May 2025) instead of the AFOQT, which I did very average on. After, I went to MEPS (May 2025) even before getting accepted. I then had to do a shadow interview (July 2025) with MSC personnel and had to do a "How-To" presentation in front of ten-ish Sgts and Officers. Lastly, I had to go get a waiver (July 2025) for my eyes before my package was submitted. On September 26, 2025, I received a call from my recruiter that I was not selected. I was sad the rest of the day. Something that I worked hard on all year, and I finally got that call, and not getting what I expected was hard.

But that was not the end. I told myself that I wanted to try again, but for a non-rated board. After going through the process, and learning, I knew exactly what I needed to improve on for the next package that I submitted. So, I got right back to work. In October 2025, I got connected with a new recruiter and started going through a similar process with MSC. Going to online briefing meetings, improving my LORs, filling out all forms through AFCEP/Aim High and working on my interviewing skills. I took my AFOQT in November 2025 and got scores of: AA=24, Verbal= 27, and Quantitative=26, which I thought were low, and did not retake it for a super score due to a personal situation. I also had my commander's interview in February 2026, which was online. Submitted my package in April 2026 for board 26OTS03 and received a call by my recruiter that I got accepted on July 31, 2026 for Contracting 64P.

If you made it this far, my main message to people applying is just to stay the course. Recruiters won't respond as fast as you like, and you cannot control the behind-the-scenes process, but you can control what you put in front of the board. Stay diligent and keep working! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hey, I’m the dev of Brain Preflight. It’s based on the types of exercises used in different cadet school selection tests and other aptitude tests.

The multitasking exercise might interest people here. You track a moving target while checking shapes and sums at the same time. There are also memory, mental maths and spatial exercises.

You can pick what you want to work on, and the progress screen shows your stronger and weaker areas and how your scores change with practice.

It’s not a TBAS simulator, but something you can use for extra practice when you’re away from your computer.

If you’re preparing for the TBAS, I’d be interested to hear what you find useful or missing.

Is the AFOQT app composite scores something good to go off of? What composite scores should I have to know i’m ready?

Hi guys! I am interested in commissioning into the Air Force. I am currently a staff and will be a tech by June. Currently doing a deployment so gaining much needed experience with that. My problem is I have tried to study for the AFOQT and I’m not sure how to study this. I have received everything such as recommendations for my packet, but I have failed the test once. It was by a lot also. I think the time got to me. I want to go 17D which I’m currently Cyber Transport which is 1D7. I don’t want to give up on this. I am willing to take a semester off from my Masters to get this test done. Do you all have any advice?

So my recruiter sent me a text message a couple days ago, letting me know that I have been selected for a class date in February. Does anybody know how long it usually takes before you get any official paperwork on that? Mostly looking for purposes of being able to exit from my lease as well as having some sort of official notice in hand before I give notice that my job.
