In addition to passing the musical audition, applicants must meet all Air Force age, weight, medical, financial, legal, and citizenship requirements. Many of your initial questions concerning the USAF enlisted military experience can be answered at https://www.airforce.com/. If you are invited to the live audition, we recommend you meet with an official Air Force recruiter to help determine any potentially disqualifying conditions. The audition coordinator can assist with this process and provide further instructions.

Qualified applicants may be assigned to any USAF Regional Band, depending on the greatest need of the Air Force. Air Force Regional Bands are located at the following Air Force Bases: Langley, Wright-Patterson, Scott, Offutt, Lackland, Travis, Ramstein, Hickam and Yokota.
Members of the USAF Band receive full medical and dental benefits, 30 days paid vacation per year and Post 9/11 GI Bill for college up to $80,000. There is a four-year minimum enlistment required and the maximum age at time of enlistment is 42.
