Question About Airforce

DarkHeart2 · September 2005

I am thinking of joining the air force. Mainly got a couple resons.

1)Being a Military Sciencetist sounds like alot of fun.
2)If I live on base I dont have to pay for housin.
3)It will keep me in shape.
4)The wemon in the armed forces are often buff (my type). And they are horney as hell (I hear)

I also have alot of willpower, concentration, and disapline. And I am good at math.

So do you guys think it is for me?

Uhm....I think you a shooting a little high by the looks of your post. You might want to brush up on your English skills. This isn't a flame. But spelling is kind of important to scientists. Maybe you were just being lazy, but that's not good for the military either. Perhaps consider Army infantry?

I come from a military family (navy/marines) and I'll start from the top.

1. You better be pretty specific as to what you want to do, because you can easily become 'cultural delicacy leasion' aka Cook.

2. True, but This is generally a small two bed no bath and common room. in a dorm like building shared with alot of other servicemen.

3. Not true, you'll meet ALOT of fat people in the military...ALOT...also the airforce is the most lax on physical shape. It mainly falls under your responsibility to stay in shape after boot..unless you go with the marines, they will not let you become fat.

4. The women take up about 95% of the fat people your gonna meet in the armed forces...

edit; Id recommend doing some research, if you want to do it, find a specific job you want to do. I mean an exact name, field, even military job number. Also, talk to some people who are actually doing that job for the military also.

Sciencetist is safer. Lol. And im not that good at grammer. But, this is a gameing forum. So I dont really care about my grammer. Another thing is that I am teaching myself how to type without looking at the keybored (this is probably the reson).

There is a fun game on yahoo games that can help with that. I believe its called Typershark or something. Its fun and its free. Good luck. Go take the ASVAB and see where your strengths are, that will help you and whatever military branches you are considering, pick a mode of service that best falls in line with both your interests and your talents. Be advised, once you take the ASVAB though, thats when the real pressure begins.

My dad was in the marines and my step dad was in the navy. You deal with all branchs regardles of which one your actually in. But, my girlfriend brother is in the airforce (MP).

Also, If you want to go into the medical field Id look at ROTC over actually joining the military first. Call up your local college and ask for the ROTC office. Also, dont believe anything the recruiters tell you, they have NOTHING to do with college programs. All that is controlled by the ROTC people on campus.

Uh, not in my experience. I got a 91 on it, and was talking to the Army. Suddenly, all 3 other branches wanted to talk to me. They were offering me all kinds of technical MoS's. They were dead set against me doing infantry, even the Army. Navy wanted me to be a nuclear tech, Army wanted me as an engineer, etc. Unfortunatly for them, infantry is what I wanted. I ended up with a 2 1/2 year contract, with signing bonus, and the G.I. Bill, along with a mandatory immediate advancement to Airborne and Ranger school directly after graduation from basic. A contract like that was unheard of then, not sure about now. And I think my ASVAB and couple other things to be left unsaid, contributed greatly to me getting that contract. Then I blew my knees out during airborne, I never even got to jump out of a plane...go figure.

I got an 89 when I took it. And I had the same thing happen to me ( I was talking to the marines to begin with). But once I sat down with the job counselor at MEPS, it becomes clear none of them can actually give you a guarantee on any of those jobs. Except infantry. I was offered immediate airborne training with an extended boot from the army ( would have come out to 14 weeks total of boot then airborne). The Navy and Airforce are going through a massive downsizing and offer jobs on first come first serve, and hardly look at asvab now. So long as you meet the minimum thats all they care about. But, All I wanted was to work on blackhawk engines. But, None could offer me that MoS because they were going out the door to people with much lower scores than what I had, but they met the requirements and beat me to it. Plus, the minimums have gone WAY down recently.

Well they had guaranteed airborne and ranger contracts back in '93 when I signed. But they were all taken up before I got there. Also, they never give signing bonus, GI bill, and only a 2 1/2 year contract to someone getting those MoS's guaranteed. But I told them thats what I wanted, and no matter what they said, if they couldn't get it, then sorry we couldn't do business. That was after weeks of negotiations and their constant pressuring to change MoS. I parted and figured that was that, college here I come. I had already been accepted to the 4 universities I applied to. Then 3 weeks later, they came down to school, and took me out of class. And told me they wanted me at MEPS. I asked them what the point was and they said come and see. I figured well, better than sitting in some boring class so I went. Got down there and they got the entire office of the Army standing behind a desk, and some Colonel sitting in the chair. I sit down, and he slides a contract over to me. It had everything I asked for, they said they had to get approval from the Pentagon, and just got it that morning. So I signed.

Then my knees blew. I wonder if they were pissed...probably not. Oh well.

I am not saying that they do things the same way now. And I know positions do fill up by minimum requirement only. I am just saying take the damn thing, see how you score, and where your strengths are and you might find a match. If not, tell them too bad and split. And as with me, that might not be the end of it. They can make acceptions to any rule if they have the desire to do so.

Just remember when they feed you that BS about time and money invested in you. Thats a load of crap. You don't owe them a damn thing until you sign that contract and swear the oath. You can even back out between the signing and the oath if you change your mind. Its your life, do whats best for you, and don't take anything less than everything you want when it comes to signing away your rights as a citizen to become a soldier.
