    Vision Questions Megathread, Categories, Problems etc.

    I did my medical last Oct and I'm V2. Since you've had an eye exam within the last year you just have to bring in a copy for the medical staff. Had it been more than a year they would provide you with a form to have an optometrist to fill out. Edit: Adding to my last, there was a minor test...

    Letter for re-enrollment waiver

    I'd be surprised if they do. I wrote mine in 2005, rejoined the Reg Force last month and have never needed to rewrite. My understanding is a rewrite is only required if you failed to meet the cutoff for a trade you wish to apply for.

    Air Force Reserves Questions

    I can answer a few of your questions but not the Air Force side. 1. People who are in school typically complete BMQ in the summers full time but some units do run BMQ on weekends during the year. The last one I taught on in the Reserves ran weekends. 3. It's possible. To change units you have...

    Prior Learning Assessment Review( PLAR ) FAQs

    Thanks for the answer. Luckily the only paperwork I was good at keeping track of was military course reports. I emailed the recruiter with the serial and qual code. I was granted qualification AINS. I was a little annoyed at the thought of redoing this but I'm hopeful it'll be good to go.

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    I'm assuming your question is because of your 5F release, personally I'd call and talk to someone. It's better to find out now then show up, write the TSD only to find out they won't continue to process your file.

I make more money welding than what I'd ever make in the Army but I gave my notice Monday and look...
