Enlisted recruiters dealing with officer candidates?


I'm trying to apply for OTS with the Air Force. From what I understand, now enlisted recruiters handle officer applicants up to a certain point. I've taken the AFOQT and it took about a month to get scores back, and my recruiter is very hard to get in touch with.
Are the enlisted recruiters just not very interested in helping out the officer applicants?
I call the guy almost every day trying to figure out the next step, but like I said, he's hard to get up with. I know he may be busy with other things, and sometimes I feel like I'm being a real nag calling every day, but then again I need to get the process going and don't want to appear that I don't care.
Also, this recruiter is about 2 hours away (where I lived when I was in school). I now live back at home. So I'm thinking of contacting the recruiter where I live now. Do I need to wait to hear back from the old recruiter before doing this?

I would go ahead and contact another recruiter.

Officer candidates shouldn鈥檛 rely on enlisted recruiters because they are usually unaware of the specifications of the program which you are trying to enter. Find an OSS (Officer Selection Station), which I heard is kind of hard with the Air Force, and get the right information and the right people to put your file through.

Dude, if you are not one of the recruiters numbers he will not spend much time with you. That's life. Now if you are officer material you will figure out how to contact the AF officer recruiter. Have a great day.

Your expectations are unrealistic.

You seem to think that applying for OTS should be an easy thing to do.

And should only take a couple of weeks.

It is going to take around 6 months to finish the process.

Your recruiter, cannot make your AFOQT score be returned any sooner than it was.

And untill that score was returned, there is not much he can do.

But no, he is not going to call you every day

Why would you assume he would ?

.........................................

It's up to you, if you want totalk to a recruiter thats closer.

But don't expect him to be any better than the one you already have.

The military is built on, " hurry up and wait "

Recruiters have to wait for other people to process paperwork and have no control over alot of things themselves.

NEVER use a recruiter for Officer programs that also recruits enlisted. Why? All military branches now allow enlisted recruiters who have qualified and approved to recruit in the Officer ranks as well. This is usually an enlisted recruiter "consistently" making his quota, is exceptional in performance, sharp, and a good communicator. The "negative" to this, their "target" market, ENLISTED, due to "numbers". Percentages of those individuals for enlisted recruitment "far" exceed those interested in Officer Programs. They will maintain and stay updated to ENLISTED and cannot provide the "skills nor have the time to remain fully updated with Officer Programs.

I have heard, and seems to be FACT, many college graduates interviewing with a recruiter for both enlisted and officers, do not seem to fully understand what is available in Officer Programs afterwards. An enlisted recruiter will talk in terms more suitable for enlisted and may attempt to recruit as such. In doing so, he will use the "switch and bait", telling you as an enlisted first YOU will become a better leader later as an officer, NOT!

Contact recruiters ONLY RECRUITING OFFICERS. This is where their "mind set" is, and stay continually updated on Officer Programs. They DO NOT need to know about the enlisted programs, therefore, are EDUCATED to the needs of Officer Candidates.

Look at it this way. A recruiter for both interviews 50 individuals for Enlisted Programs and "BOOM", one day, a college grad walks in to inquire about Officer Programs. How hard to you think this recruiter is going to work on your behalf. How often, because of numbers, do you think this recruiter updates himself on Officer Programs, my guess, ONLY when an Officer Candidate walks in the door.

Hope this helps. I ONLY know this info from those that I have talked to and experienced.
