Should I join the airforce?

[tutoneppis]

If you would be dedicated then yes. If not then dont even bother, jobs like that are hard to get out of and your representing your country.

 

[reddogwwa]

Do not do it. The military will fuck you over.

Past expiriences? Why you say that?

No. No you should not.

How come though?? any reasons?

If ANYTHING. Airforce, that would be your safest bet. But. You have to figure out whether or not leaving your girlfriend is worth it. Are you great together? Or is it already shaky. If it isn't and you really love her, don't. Otherwise, why not?

I'll leave my girlfriend if I have too. Whats would happen if I had a shitty job because I didn't want to leave her. . .she would probably leave me.

Decide on which major you want to do, succeed, and get a higher-paid job with no risk of getting killed. That's my advice.

Like what? I'm kinda into things like that. I went sky diving/shark diving/I fly little cessna's lol. I don't want to be bored with my job either.

If your Girlfriend doesn't know, ask her about her opinion

I'll ask her her opinion, but in the end I don't think it'll matter

yeah my dads best friend joined the airforce and he said it was best decision hes ever made

Really? Good to hear...but why so?

If you would be dedicated then yes. If not then dont even bother, jobs like that are hard to get out of and your representing your country.

Well I'm usually dedicated to everything I do. I would definatly be dedicated in the airforce because if I fuck up I'll have a shitty job lol.

Thanks for your input so far guys!

If you're set on a military branch, go for the air force definitely

 

[no scamming meh!]

[muffinmaster]

Well, which of these 2 do you want to do, Enlsit in the Airforce for...4-8 years, and then go back home and get a real job.

2. AFter you've served in the airforce, you might be able to get Coast Gaurd, ect.

3. Stay in the airforce, and try and move higher amongst the ranks.

3, sorry, not 2.

 

[OmfgzATree]

You can go die if you want.

 

[rs nechryeal]

Now why would you even say that? He may be risking his life for freedom. Now how bad does that seem?

 

[nonamekiller]

If you can step up to the fact that you can die in the airforce, then yes.

 

[jebckr]

Do ROTC or something and yet your college edu, even if it's a 4 yr degree in buisness or something.

If you think you'll like it, or get a better life, go for it.

Probably move up in the ranks if I were to join the airforce.

You can go die if you want.

...sigh thanks for the intelligent post!

Mmm, I think I'm past college right now, I'm completely fucking up in the college I'm in right now. I let my mom talk me into going to it when I really didn't want too. So if I do join the airforce, I want to get ASAP. Like next week if I could.

If you think you'll like it, or get a better life, go for it.

definitely get a better life from it I feel.

It is common knowledge that the military does not care about the individual recruit, only about their own recruitment quotas. They'll promise you ice cream, and serve you a pile of shit.

Talk to several people who have experience in the air force (or any branch of the military), and who do not have a vested interest in getting you to join.

 

[Putther]

When I grow up I want to be in the airforce.

Oh I know that first hand. Last year when I was considering airforce (before my mom talked me into the shit college I currently go to) My recruiter took me to take my asvab and took me to the airforce base himself.

He came off to be the friendliest guy on the face of the earth. I was 17 at the time (minor), and I was all gun-ho to join the airforce BUTTT I needed my moms signature on the papers for me to actually enlist and go when I get out of highschool. My mom wouldn't go for it because she didn't want to be responsible for me joining and she told me to wait until I turned 18. I said Ok because I knew she was right.

I told my recruiter this, he completely flipped shit. Like went nuts, I later found that he was so pissed because when I did sign up that 1 and a half year later he wouldn't be the recruiter for long island. Thus not getting his recruit(me) to sign under his name.

When I grow up I want to be in the airforce.

how old are you now? if you don't mind me asking.

Join the Marine Corps...Way tougher and way more respected.

I hate when people say this -.-. If you want to play that card like that, Marine corps. = tougher. Airforce = smarter. You need a higher asvab test to join the airforce than the marines.

Both what you said, and what I just said are both stupid. Although you do need a higher asvab score.

ALL of the branches serve a part of the military. If each branch of the military was the same why bother creating different branches. They're all in charge of different tasks.

Let me guess your source of your information was from a former/current marine? Don't get me wrong I have a load of respect for the marines. . .every branch actually. But to say one is more respected then the other is silly.

 

[H²º]

Well, in my opinion, yes.

The benefits are great! [coming from my dad's friend]

 

[The_Phoenix_HalfBreed]

Don't join for the wrong reasons.

Wrong reason: benefits

Right reason: You want to serve your country

Otherwise your death will be in vain because your true goal was unaccomplished.

I thought about joining the Marines but I do not support the "war" we are in.

Yeah but if your like not caring what we're fighting for just as long as your fighting for the US then jump on it dude. More power to you.

 

[jake__]

Do it, they pay really well apparently.

But I wouldn't listen to me, I know this kid who wants to join the air force, and I literally hope he dies in it...

 

[Deskull]

Hey guys, so my question is should I join the airforce? I'm not really looking for answers from the anti-American/anti democracy group lol.

Your probably wondering what would make me consider joining the airforce?

Right now I am attending college. . .I call it 13th grade its a community college and it sucks something fierce. I know this college is a total waste for me because I have no clue what I want my major to be. And in the bigger picture I don't really have an idea what I want to do when I get older.

Lets face it I'm 18, its time for me to stop fucking around and chose a path. I don't want to be strapped for cash when I grow up.

So thats where the airforce comes in.

Pros:
- Great on my resume
- Great start on some sort of career
- Awesome education. . .for free
- Mannnyy more I'm sure

Cons:
- Leaving my girlfriend.

My thoughts on the girlfriend is I'm going to have to leave her for the greater good of me. We're probably not going to be together forever and I should pass up the opportunity for a better life. Don't get me wrong its going to be hard, but it would have to be done.

Your thoughts?

I joined the Marines when I was seventeen. It costed me my girl-friend and my free education. But, I would do it over again if I had to. The cause of me joining the Marines was the fact that I needed a career, I had no real special interests, I was interested in serving my country, and the sudden realization that if my girl-friend really loved me then she would stick by me when I was in the Marines. In my basic opinion if you think you have nothing more really to look forward to then the Airforce might be a good start to looking for something to look forward to. If you decide to do so good-luck.
