Question
i am 26 and want to reenlist in the airforce. i was discharged 6 weeks into basic,and want to know if i can reenlist.I am talking to a recruiter but don't know if he knows the steps to get in. how do i get back in?
Well unless the regulations have changed the Air Force doesn't take in prior service. But that doesn't mean that the cant find a place... there is some few select careers that you may still be able to get in... Keep pressuring him to give you a definitive answer...I do know that you have to be in basic training by your 27th birthday....

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
