Certain qualities such as mental preparedness, physical fitness, and readiness are all qualities a member must have to be successful. These qualities will help keep the member mentally stable and be able to handle stressful situations as well as be ready to report for any military assignment. The last but most definitely not least requirement is passing of the ASVAB test. The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is an academic, timed test meant to gauge the ability to learn a new profession usually made available to all high school juniors. The score received on the ASVAB is the percentage of the people that the test taker has done better on the test than. For example, scoring a 61 would mean the test taker was more successful on the test than 61% of the people that have already taken the ASVAB. It’s all a huge competition to see who qualifies for the harder jobs. In order to pass the test a 32 is required and a perfect score would be a 99. Unfortunately, the ASVAB is just one loop that must be jumped through. (AFBMT)

Sustainment Operations in the broad term is crucial to any unit. Readiness is key, as the quality of force readiness is measured by its sustainment (ADP 4-0). A unit has to be prepared to fight when called upon. Do not think of fighting in the sense of combat but in the sense of being able to perform the role they are meant to do.

The Air Force focuses mainly on training troops technical knowledge to be proficient at their jobs, and provides combat training only when Air Force personnel are put on orders to deploy to a combat zone. Soldier’s go to training sites frequently and stay for weeks at a time to train with scenarios comparable to missions the military has seen in previous battles, or believe may happen in future battles fought. When the Army trains with the aforementioned scenarios, soldiers must carry their assigned weapons, either an M16A2 rifle, an M4 rifle, or an M9 pistol. When soldiers go through the scenarios, they are required to fire their assigned weapon in order to train with, and become comfortable with those weapons. Air Force personnel train with similar scenarios, but only when given orders to deploy. At times, Air Force personnel will train with Soldiers, deploy to the same combat zone, and work as a joint force together. Soldiers do not only receive combat training, but soldiers also receive technical training to be proficient at their job.
