Sections
Written exam qualifiers (plus a separate Engineering Knowledge Test for Technical Branch applicants) go through the 5-day AFSB (Air Force Selection Board) - psychological tests, group tasks, and interview - followed by a medical exam. Final merit combines written score with AFSB assessment; only AFSB-recommended, medically-fit candidates are commissioned.
