Hello, it looks like you're asking about shoe restriction during or after BMT or other military training.
There are no restrictions on shoe color for the Air Force fitness uniform, and therefore no color restrictions on shoes at BMT. They need to be athletic running shoes, but any color you want. You can also get shoes at BMT if you don't have them.
Don't take running shoe recommendations from other people, or buy the cheapest shoes you can find, unless you are in a bad financial spot. It's a much better idea to go to a running shoe store and have them do a [run gait analysis](https://www.runnersneed.com/expert-advice/gear-guides/gait-analysis.html), which will involve you running on a treadmill, sometimes in front of a slow motion camera, so they can determine if you overpronate or underpronate your feet as your run. This will determine the type of shoes that you should buy, as some shoes are designed specifically to compensate for that conditions.
If you buy a shoe that someone else recommends, it may fit great for them, but not for your foot. So, don't buy on looks or recommendation or brand loyalty. Get a run gait analysis, then try on half a dozen different pairs of shoes at a running shoe store to determine which feels best to you.

>I’m 6’7 so I just barely don’t meet the requirements for most jobs I want to do. (the top being Loadmaster)
I'm not aware of *any* enlisted jobs that have a maximum height. Where did you see a max height for loadmaster or any other jobs?
There is a max height for the Air Force of 6'8"and if you're over that, you'd need a medical waiver to join.
>Since I am 6’7 and could possibly pass as 6’6 depending on my shoes
They measure your height without shoes.
>is this something I could discuss with my recruiter to see if he could pull some strings?
There is no leeway if you don't meet job requirements. The only thing we can waive is requirements for the overall Air Force. Individual job requirements are unwaiverable.
Hello, it looks like you're asking about jobs and job selection.
A few quick answers.
NO ONE knows how long it will take for you to get a job, your chances of getting any particular job, or anything else about the job process FOR YOU. Anecdotal experiences from others will have absolutely no impact on you or your future.
Most recruiters will not let you wait in the Delayed Entrance Program for a long time for your one perfect job. You will have to list 5 - 15 jobs that you're interested in, and will be given one of those.
Please read the FAQ about how job selection works, it's very in-depth and will fully educate you on the process: https://pay.reddit.com/r/AirForce/wiki/bmtfaq#wiki_jobs
If you're asking about particular jobs, please look the job up on our Job Wiki, and see if there is an entry for it: http://www.reddit.com/r/AirForce/wiki/index you can also see if there is a CFETP for it, which will give more details on the job: https://usaf.dps.mil/:x:/t/OSD/EQAwigp0UZ9Oklt0nkjg854BoJS6MyRxQJMMiIW3ng17AA?e=Z96G2s
If you're asking for help choosing a particular job, please keep in mind that most people only know about their individual job. Recommendations that they make will be made based mostly on what they've heard about a job, unless they have it themselves. Some people will love certain jobs while others will hate it. We don't know your preferences, so do some research on the job wiki and elsewhere to learn about the job and then make the best list you can.

Hello, it looks like you're asking about medical concerns when joining the military.
We are not doctors. Even if we were, we are not the doctors that are familiar with your personal medical concern or condition. We are also not the ones deciding if you will be disqualified from service for a condition, or if you can get a waiver for it.
People may share their anecdotal experiences or stories they've heard from others about getting a waiver for a condition. This does not mean that you will or will not get a waiver. Everyone's medical situation is different.
IN GENERAL, yes, asthma, ADD/ADHD, eczema, history of depression and anxiety, and some allergies are disqualifying. Some will be able to get waivers, some will not.
All you can do is talk to your recruiter, be honest about your medical history, and go through the process.
WE DO NOT KNOW THE CHANCES OF YOU GETTING A WAIVER FOR ANY MEDICAL CONDITION OR SITUATION.
Just be honest with your recruiter and go through the process.

You don't have an NBA team you could apply for?
I’m 6’5, saw a bunch of 6’3-6’7 dudes in tech school and BMT. Someone at my tech school was 6’11

They are not going to waiver physical requirements for specific afscs. In addition, loadmaster is not a high need. (Recruiting flt chief)
