Anyone and everyone...

Sorry, I'm asking for someone else I know.

you could take a practice asvab without commiting, and I suppose technically you could go clear through all of the Meps screening and then back out, but that would be an awful lot of work and paperwork just to prove a point.

ASVAB is the least of the hard part, its the physical that gets a lot of people. Pretty much any medical problems in the past or present void your entry. This is basically all branches, not just the AF.

Bump..
Jenson, did you end up joining the Air Force?

I've been looking diligently into joining either the Navy or Air Force. I'm tired of what I'm doing-- my job is of little consequence, and I'm really wanting a military field that can lead to future success. From what I can tell, I'd really like to pursue the Intel/Cryptology duties. I really wanted to go Navy, as I could be an Information Warfare Officer (I have my degree), and hopefully attend DLI. But, the problem is, I'm 26 and married, and most seem to think the Air Force is the closest thing to resembling a normal family life (and, yes, I'm prepared to travel).

So, some feedback: I'd really like to do cryptology (not the fancy, mythological novel stuff), language, and intel. The post-military job fields are incredibly lucrative, and I can combine that with my current tech certifications.

Ari, did you enjoy DLI?
Jenson, are you liking the Air Force?
Any thoughts on my joining either branch?

I enjoyed the time I served. I got to see parts of the world I may never have otherwise seen. I come from a family of military vets and am proud to call myself a veteran. I will be heading to Chicago on tuesday to watch my youngest son graduate from Naval basic training and could'nt be prouder. The military is an elite club of brave young men & women who are willing to do what it takes to ensure all of us can live a life with the freedoms we all take for granted. I hope your friend does enlist, if he does he will be a better man for it and I for one will always be grateful for his service!

I'm 31 years old and I'm thinking about joining.

I'm not in great shape either, but I'm actually trying to get in shape in case I fully decide to do it. I would probably have to get lasik eye surgery done first though, which would be good for me anyways.

Do you think I'm too old?

The recruters job is to weed out those who may be too old, out of shape or otherwise not a good fit. Keep in mind that there are alot of young people who are looking to the military for job security in this recession. It's worth a shot, but you have a long road to hoe.

The air force is way more selective than the army or marines, who have been missing their recuiting goals.

It's not that they are more selective, it is just more people enlist to join the air force or navy because they know they won't see combat.

Just because you're not on the front line does'nt mean you won't see combat. Airforce bases and Naval ships get attacked too. Those wanting to join the Air Force or Navy are held to higher standards due to the technology they are operating. A C-D gpa just isn't gonna work when you're asked to operate or maintain multi million dollar equiment. In other words, they are way more selective than the army or marines. The gap is closing due to weapons tech. advances though, so I will give you that.

When I was in bootcamp, there was a 31 year old in my company who did just fine. Of course, Navy bootcamp isn't all that physically demanding.

Be prepared to get called "Gramps," though.
