When I took him on a tour of the ship and showed him the berthing compartments with their 3-high bunk beds, he was horrified. In a space the size of his barracks room, the Navy would have squeezed in at least 20 guys. ![]() |

I've been in the AF for 17 years. For me it has been a good choice, because I didn't want to go to college. I've seen most of the world and are looking forward to my retirment check when I'm 40 in 3 years. I'll still have to work of course.
If you have the means to go to college and have a career at something you are intrested in do that instead but if not and you want to do some traveling then join the AF. I would not recommend any other branch unless you are a gung ho mutha. The military has alot of rules you must follow but you get use to them.

The AirForce is a great alternative to the military.

I don't know why more kids don't do this now days. Sign up for a 4 year hitch and essentially have your college paid for when you leave.

What do you think about enlisting in the Air Force?
Think I'm a little to old now, but thanks for asking.

From what I've seen of you ideological views here, it would be an enlightening (and perhaps, difficult) experience for you....but I would encourage it, if your heart is really in it. There's no faster, and I'd argue....not many....better ways to really grow-up. I mean, really grow-up.
But, why enllist? Why not join ROTC? Unless I've misjudged you, you'd be someone who should qualify--maybe even for scholarship money depending on your major and projected "specialty"....I'd think.

You said, "Anyone, and Everyone." I qualify. Heh.
Truth is sometimes hard to take though, I know. ![]()

No, just shut up.
Read the second line. My economic views have no bearing on this. And neither would they if it was me I was talking about. I've sat in classes with a former Marine who campaigned for Obama. It doesn't ****ing matter. You're a ****ing moron who looks for a stupid comment anytime you can pull one off. No matter what one's political views are, I'm sure the Air Force would be enlightening and difficult. So shut the **** up. |

It depends what you go into. If you go into something that will translate into a good career after you're out, It's well worth it. I had one buddy that fueled jets when he was in, worthless when he got out. My brother on the other hand, went into Hazmad and saftey, got his master degree while he was there on their dime and has done very very well because of it.

Your ridiculous, baseless, superiority bullshit pisses me off.
Otherwise, this thread was great. |

If your friend feels he is called to serve in that way then he should go for it.

I remember when Jenson was just a puppy that sat around wagging its tail all day. Looks like those days are gone.
