Open Aptitude Lists

A few things to keep in mind with the open aptitude lists.

First, you must still qualify for the AFSC. This covers testing, medical, and other eligibility requirements. If you do not qualify, then you will not be eligible for the career field.

Secondly, with the exception of Mental Health (4C0X1), the Air Force is reducing medical AFSC recruiting. This means that the medical AFSCs may not be listed in the open aptitude area when you get to basic. You'll want to talk to your recruiter with the most up to date information.

Lastly, the open aptitude lists are driven by ASVAB score requirements. These scores change throughout the year, which means this list changes with them.

We try to keep this list updated, but your recruiter is your point of contact for the most up to date information.
