Air Force After Undergrad

[Polo08816]

<p>BIGeastBEAST, this thread is already too funny.</p>

<p>

Understand that you will be coming a soldier (in the Air Force).

</p>

<p>

I’m sorry, but you are incorrect. Airmen are soldiers, and often fight on the ground (especially in this war)

</p>

<p>Mess up once, it’s a mistake. Mess up twice, you’re an idiot, especially after being corrected by another poster already.</p>

<p>

Call me naive (LOL!) but from my understanding, the Airforce has the least amount of deaths and casualties from the Afghan/Iraq war. A simple google search shows that most that died or were injured was because their plane crashed. Not so much from combat.

If you’re worried about that, then you should not join. You want to “blow some stuff up”, there are risks involved.</p>

<p>Like I said before:

Another factor to consider is the chance of promotion. It’s a very real possibility that you will be an O-3 for quite some time in the Air Force maybe until you are 35. In the Army, you may see O-4s in the late 20s.

I think for an equal amount of time you spend in the military, I’d go with somewhere where I could promote quickly. The only reason I’d choose the Air Force over Army is if I wanted to fly. If it was for work experience, both are comparable with the Army having to be much more dynamic and flexible in its leadership culture. I’d much rather be a young O-4 than an old O-3.</p>

<p>I have no problem with people joining a service branch to improve their lives, whether it be for a paycheck, tuition assistance or just to get the hell away from their current circumstances. </p>

<p>Everyone has their reasons, and they are all legitimate as long as that person performs well at their job and makes a good Marine/Solider/Sailor/Airmen. </p>

<p>I remember being an 18 year old kid and wanting to blow stuff up, and know many others who did too. That’s why the combat units exist and those types are very welcome to enlist. However, I don’t know what kind of tool says, “I want to blow stuff up and wear a cute uniform.” </p>

<p>You want to blow stuff up? Get ya hands dirty son…Locate, Close with and destroy the enemy, don’t give me any sissy garbage about wanting to look cute in your uniform. You think this is some damn fasion show? </p>

<p>However, I think you should do everyone a favor and keep your booger hook off the trigger guard.</p>

<p>Who dug up this mess? Lol.</p>

<p>And for the record, I’m a girl. So I was talking about the cute lady Air Force Uniforms. </p>

<p>This thread represents a brief moment in my life when I was completely lost. :/</p>

<p>Make sure you let the recruiter know that you want to get a Seal, Ranger, or enlistment please. Or at the very least go Infantry.</p>
