More chicks in Air Force than any other branch of military... but, they are mostly Marine mattresses. But, there are some hot ass Air Force chicks out there... I banged 2 while at DLI in Monterrey CA... not at the same time, though :-(

I almost did it when I was your age actually. It kinda blows my mind to think how profoundly different my life would be right now if I had, I actually would be in my 4th year of enlistment right now.
From my brief experience with it, I liked what I saw although there are certainly drawbacks. There are others on here that can speak to it better than I can.

Depends on where you get stationed. My best friend was stationed in Bitburg Germany and traveled all over Europe. He loved it - got out, went to college and went back in as an officer. He's a major now. My uncle, OTOH, spent a year and a half in Okinawa and a year and a half at some pisshole missile base in Montana, 60 miles from the nearest town (and the nearest town sucked) and he hated it. I can't say the words "air" and "force" together in a sentence to him without him getting pissed, and he's been out since before I was born. If you go in the Air Force you'll get treated better and have better accomodations than the other branches.
Now, if you go in the Navy, and are assigned to a ship, you'll live in a small room with 100 other guys and have no privacy, but you'll travel all over the world. True, military pay is shit, but if you are smart and STAY SINGLE (trust me on this) with room and board paid it's not that bad. Obviously you should take advantage of the college thing (another mistake I made). You strike me as the sort who would have no trouble with the discipline. As ****ed up as the economy is now, seriously, you could do worse things. Hell, you might even find a career there. |

In highschool I had all my paperwork filled out to join the Air Force academy, and I let a woman talk me out of it...
I regret it.

I'm a 17 yr enlisted man. It's what you make of it. It's changed A LOT since I came in. It's not a bad living, just use all the benefits (college) while you're in. Get yours. It definately has the best living conditions/Quality of Life of all branches.

Young Jenson in a military environment, I'd pay to be a fly on the wall when your idealism meets the steel toed boot of "shut the **** up and do what your told".
Good luck BTW, just found the contrast in philosophy amusing.

I saw a few days ago that officers make something like $90,000/year. I presume that is a major or higher. Does anyone know?

I have had the honor of serving my country in the Air Force for the past 22 years. I am now a CMSgt and serve as the Pacific Air Forces Fire Chief. I am currently living in Hawaii and I have never gone a day with regret on the decision I made. There are a lot of benefits of serving in the USAF as an enlisted Airman. The pay has risen considerably and the entitlements are outstanding (free medical/dental, free housing, free college, etc.). The key to being enlisted is the job that you receive. If you are truly interested, please drop me an email at [email protected] and I will answer all of your questions.
