Im in the air force dep and i was wondering...?

Single parents cannot enlist. You're a single parent if you are unmarried and have a dependent. For enlistment purposes, one of the categories of dependents is defined as "Any natural child (legitimate or illegitimate) or child adopted by the applicant, if the child is under 18 years of age and unmarried, regardless of whether or not the applicant has custody of the child. The term natural child includes any illegitimate child when: the applicant claims the child as theirs, or the applicant's name is listed on the birth certificate as the parent, or a court order establishes paternity; or if any person makes an allegation of paternity that has not been finally adjudicated by a court".
