On more thing......
At some point, you will have to take a battery of exams (AFOQT in the AF) which have been hated by pilots since Lt Selfridge flunked his exam and still got in a plane with Orville. Personnel types have been insisting on them ever since to avoid what happened to Lt Selfridge, I think it is only to justify their jobs, IMHO.
Anyway, deal with them, hope your score high because the exams are important. See comments on shrinking AF, above to see why they are.
