What is a AF Form 24?

 

An AF Form 24 is used by the Air Force. It is known as an Application for Appointment as Reserve of the Air Force or USAF without Component. It will be used to determine whether or not a person meets the qualifications to qualify as a Reserve or a member without component.

A lot of personal information is needed for this form in order to check the qualifications. Full name, address, birthdate, and social security number will be needed.  Information about education and military service will also be required. Include as much information as possible, as leaving out important info could result in the application being denied or the process of qualification being terminated.  Be sure you are filling out the current issue of the form because previous editions are obsolete.

This is not the correct form to apply for Air National Guard (ANG).
