How to Get Recruited for Air Force Reserve
The Air Force Reserve plays a large role in the Air Force's work around the world every day. Most Air Force Reserve enlistees and officers work part-time for the Air Force, though more than 1/3 of the Reserve is currently working full-time. The Air Force Reserve offers potential enlistees the opportunity to serve the country in the Air Force without the full-time commitment. This makes it a great option for those with families, other careers or those finishing school.
