[QUOTE="CDep55, post: 9795652, member: 56893"] I took a year off, and I don't suggest taking classes. You will get college level credits through the community college of the air force for all your training. I think I got 36 credits, but a lot were similar (such as, 9 credits were in weight and balance). My college accepted 12 credits which was nice. I go to a small school though that is military friendly. A big college may not accept them, but I don't know. If i remember correctly school for me was...6 weeks basic training (now 8.5), 2-3 weeks aircrew fundamentals, 5 weeks for basic load school, 1-2 weeks water survival, 4-5 weeks combat survival. After that it depends on your airframe, but for C-130 it was about 4-6 months in Arkansas for initial qual and mission qual. I don't know what the other planes do. When you're done you go home and do 90 days OJT. Plus there could be breaks in between all those schools. Just assume it will take a year, but it could be quicker or longer. As long as you don't spend all your money, it's nice returning home with a year of hard earned money. But it all depends on when they have open spots for training. I know the Guard struggles to get school dates quickly, but reserves is different. Ask the recruiter that, because there could be a back-up and they may not be able to get you into schools as quick as you would like. [/QUOTE]
