Just curious what the requirements are to be enter as an O-1E (officer, prior enlisted).
I have just a few days short of 4 years prior enlistment time, but I've read that the Air Force requires 4 years and 1 day prior enlistment to qualify as an O-1E.
I would fall literally less than week short of that requirement. I thought that I've read someplace else that the military can use a "point system" to see if a person would qualify for the 'E'. Is that true because I cannot really find anything about there while searching online?
Any information regarding the O-1 to O-1E would be helpful!
That is right IRR time does not count towards the "E" since you do not earn any points for being in the IRR. Sounds like you had less then 4 years or 1460 points of active duty enlisted. The housing difference does add up over time and as you move up in grade and the pay difference as you move up in years on the payscale. OP needs to speak with their recruiter since things are easier done before you sign then after.
