Are you thinking of joining the Air National Guard?

FIRST STEPS

Take a look at the GOANG.COM website to get a feel for the Air National Guard and job descriptions of different career fields.

Call our recruiting office to setup an appointment.

If you haven't already take the ASVAB test (or AFOQT for officer candidates), you will schedule it with the recruiter.

You will also be setup with a full physical at the MEPS station in Albany. Certain career fields require things like full color vision.

With the results of these tests, your recruiter will then be able to identify positions that you are qualified for and at that time will show you what positions we have open at the unit that align with your qualifications.

Be patient through the process. It often takes a couple months to complete all the requirements. Taking your ASVAB before making an appointment with the recruiter can help speed up the process.

Enlistment Qualifications

You must meet certain enlistment criteria to qualify for membership in the Air National Guard. These criteria ensure that those who join have the right mental, physical, and moral aptitudes to perform the tasks required for military service. General requirements include:

AGE. Must be between the age of 17 and 39 (must swear in prior to 40th birthday). Consent from a parent or legal guardian is required if 17.

CITIZENSHIP. Must be a United States citizen or naturalized citizen.

EDUCATION. High school seniors or those with a high school diploma or a general equivalency diploma (GED) are eligible.

MENTAL APTITUDE. Must achieve a minimum score of 31 on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test for general entry. Must also receive minimum scores in certain areas of the ASVAB depending on occupational choice. Your recruiter can tell you what your score qualifies you for.

PHYSICAL CONDITION. Must be able to pass an initial military entrance physical exam, be in good health and meet minimum height and weight standards. Certain illnesses, past injuries or diseases may disqualify an individual for enlistment, or disqualify for certain positions.

MORAL CHARACTER. Must meet standards which cover arrests, convictions and drug usage.

TERM OF ENLISTMENT. An enlistment contract is for a total of 6 years.
