Flying experience is a plus, but NOT required

tabHow to Schedule an AFOQT 
The AFOQT is administered at every Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) in the nation. The Milwaukee and Chicago MEPS offer the test on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month. ANY Air Force, Air Force Reserve, or Air National Guard recruiter can schedule these tests, HOWEVER you must meet with the recruiter in their office to fill out the Request for Examination paperwork. This is not a requirement for the recruiter, but rather a service they
are capable of providing. Please act accordingly when contacting them.

Most Air Force ROTC detachments offer the AFOQT on a somewhat regular basis. Use an internet search engine to find a local detachment and see if they will be able to schedule a test.

If you live in the Wisconsin local area, you MAY be allowed to test at one of the Air National Guard bases. Priority is given to current enlisted unit members and only four people may be tested at a time.
