USAF Delayed Entry Program

US Air Force Recruiting Service

About this app

The USAF Delayed Entry Program ( DEP ) app provides Air Force recruits mobile access to essential information. The app allows for self-improvement and preparation prior to entering the strict environments of Basic Military Training (BMT) and Officer Training School (OTS). Users are able to access reporting statements, drill movements, training schedules and fitness and nutrition information. The USAF DEP app also includes a fitness calculator, interactive packing and financial readiness checklists, quizzes, and flash cards to help prep DEP members for Basic Military and Officer Training.

Ratings and reviews

The ship date countdown doesn't work. The main reason I downloaded this app was for the dramatic fancy countdown of how long till I leave for BMT. Every time I try to select my ship date, it gives me an error message. I have tried this every day for over a month, updated the app regularly, told my recruiter, and tried deleting and re-downloading the app. I really want this app to work, but it won't let me.

Has a small glitch. On the reporting statement under the memory work section, if you click on the second option "not called upon" you can't then click back to the "when ordered" option. You have to back out of the whole reporting statement and then reenter. Same thing happens with the male/female PT charts. Also, no screen rotation (not a bug, just inconvenient). Otherwise helpful so far; seems detailed and again otherwise decently designed.

The PT info looks good, but the quizzes need work. I went through the quiz for Ranks and got about half wrong because it showed the answer was wrong. I took screen shots each time. The quiz for the core values had one wrong, saying that the third core value was "Honor in everything we do". I don't know how the flashcards are because I haven't used them, but I'm hoping it isn't off on those as well.
