About the Program: The Big Picture

调试消息来源

There are three commissioning sources or paths one can follow to become an officer in the 空气 & Space Force of the Department of the 空气 Force: the 美国 空气 Force Academy (美国FA), 空气 Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC), and Officer Training School (OTS). These three sources are very distinct from each other, however the end result — commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the 空气 and Space Forces of the Department of the 空气 Force — is the same.

美国FA is the 空气 Force's military university where cadets complete full-time college studies while receiving built-in 空气 Force officer training.

AFROTC is similar in that you attend college full-time while receiving 空气 Force officer training, however the training environment is very different from the Academy. AFROTC is offered at 145 different universities across the nation, and offers more flexible and varied programs compared to 美国FA.

OTS是9分.5 week post-baccalaureate (i.e. applicants must have a bachelor's degree) military training program.

What Are the Benefits of an 空气 Force Officer Career?

Aside from the leadership and service opportunities, the practical benefits of a career as an 空气 Force officer include great pay, 全面的医疗福利, and competitive retirement and investment options.

What are the Differences between Officer and 招募?

招募

The enlisted force is the backbone of the armed forces. The enlisted airmen and space professionals are the core of the 空气 & Space Force's technical competencies. To enlist, the member goes to a recruiter to learn about eligibility and different job options. After completing an Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) physical exam, the member can enlist and then attend Basic Military Training (BMT) to learn basic military discipline and decorum. BMT is followed by technical training in the member's specific career field, 比如安全部队, 飞机维修, 情报, 网络安全, 人员, 记录管理, 金融, 等.

A college degree is not required in order to enlist (high school diploma or equivalent is required), although many enlisted air and space professionals have bachelor's degrees or higher. 招募 members progress through different ranks as well as numbered technical levels (3, 5, 7, 9). Senior enlisted members take on more responsibility as well as leadership roles. In addition to commanding younger enlisted members, senior enlisted air and space professionals have a duty to develop and mentor the (often) younger officers who command them.

军官

The minimum educational requirement to be a commissioned officer in the armed forces is a bachelor's degree. The rank and pay of an officer is higher than that of enlisted 人员, but they are also entrusted with more responsibilities. 军官 receive special training in leadership and management and must be of the highest moral and professional caliber. They supervise and command enlisted forces, and often manage budgets, 设备, and strategy with the technical guidance of enlisted 人员 and Department of Defense (DoD) civilians. 军官 are also the only 人员 eligible for jobs in the 空气 & Space Forces which require a bachelor's degree or higher (i.e. pilot, engineer, lawyer, doctor, nurse, 等.).
