Thinking about joining the Air Force. Any advice?

If you decide to join the military (any branch)... GET A BACHELORS DEGREE FIRST AND BECOME AN OFFICER. The treatment is far and away beyond better than being enlisted. The pay at the first step of being an officer is more than someone who has been enlisted for 10 years or more.
If you must enlist, go into a field that will help you when you get out (whether you do 20 years and retire or just do 4 to 6 and get out). Electrician, plumber, avionics, military police, signals intelligence (basically secret-squirrel IT). These are fields worth looking into.
If you do join, make sure you document everything that happens to you in your medical record. If you suffer Ill effects from jumping out of those planes and blew out your knees and have it documented, the VA will take care of you afterwards. If you just walk it off, you may be fucked when your cartilage is gone 10 years from now.
get the GI BILL. No matter what, get it. It's a little money taken out of like two paychecks that pays you 20 times over.
Serve honorably. DONT GET MARRIED. Do your time, and go on about your life.

The air force is the best of all the services. Basic training is cushy, plenty of females that just wanna fuck, good pay, great food.... But you have to stay single, no wife, no gf, and no kids. The AF is great if you're single, it sucks fucking ass if you have outside financial burdens.

After basic DO NOT BUY A CAR or anything expensive or get into any debt of any kind!!! Live absolutely minimalist, save save save. 12 months out of basic you will see how much better off you are than the majority of your AF peers. And never ever fuck a chick without protection!!!! EVER!!! As government property she can sue you and the government for up to 2/3 of your income and you can do nothing about it!!!

Finally go for a skill that translates into the civilian world such as Air Traffic Controller, Pilot if you have a BS, electronics or avionics tech, jet engine tech if that's you're thing, flight tech... Avoid jobs like air frame mechanic and the hundreds of other shitty jobs that don't give you a valuable skill that you can make a great living from should you transition back to civilian life.

DO NOT SETTLE FOR A JOB (MOS) THAT THEY OFFER YOU BECAUSE IT'S AVAILABLE AND NEEDS FILLING OR YOU WILL GET LOCKED INTO A SHITTY JOB YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BREAK OUT OF.

Also, go in with the mind set that this is your new career for the next 20 years and not a temporary fix. And take station duty over seas. It's a stepping stone to better pay and better duty stations throughout your career.

Good luck Airman

AF is your safest bet of any branch. My bro is an F15 tech and makes more than my other bro & myself who were Army MP

I’m so down for that. I just wanna know if its possible to go in my current physical condition, or would I need to absolutely meet their standards? Because I’m overweight, but I know I’m smart enough to get a good score on the ASVAB. I’m willing to meet the weight requirements if I gotta, since I’m doing it anyway for maintaining my health, but it’ll take a while.

slipinthedickin · 2019-01-10T04:13:00+00:00

Go for it man. Join the air force explore the world do something productive. I think its a great idea and you will learn a lot about life and yourself in general.

Uh, this is my first time ever looking at mgtow, so im not an mgtow yet. Im still just doing alot of interesting and helpful reading after stumbling across TRP.

I am however an enlisted member of the USAF.

I joined at 23, when similarly to yourself, I was tired of the life I was living up until that point. First off yes, the AF is the best option of the branches. I follow that by saying the military is not for everyone. Im at the end of my first enlistment and i have watched many many people get mentally defeated. All military branches I think share that part. It takes alot of mental toughness and stability. If you are depression prone or havent learned to get back on a horse you fell off of (x100) then you might be one of the people stuck in a contract, begging to leave and you cant. Sleep on that. They all take physical toughness, the AF seems to require the least physically, but definitely still a bar that ive seen too many people not be able to meet. Get good at running, push ups, and sit ups. And dont be obese. Thats all.

I partially agree with what others have said about commissioning instead of enlisting. The officer life pays better and you definitely get treated more like a human initially. But if its not an option then its not the end of the world. Officers are held to a higher standard so from what i understand, if you fuck up as an officer you are pretty much done. Instead of as an enlisted there are several forms of punishment before getting kicked out. To balance that out alot of officers fuck ups get handled in house or swept under rugs or whatever.

That being said ive known a handful of people to bust their ass, finish all the school requirements plus a bunch of other hoops to jump through, submit a package, and be accepted to commission half way through their enlistment. Thats a handful out of probably a thousand people that ive met and gotten to know, granted only about 50 that ever expressed commissioning as a goal.

Anyway enough about that. Only sign for 4 initially no matter what insensitive they are offering. If you like it you can re enlist easily, if you hate it, 2 years is alot of extra time to hate your life for signing for 6 years out of the gate.

Some recruiters will say just about anything you want to hear. Cant always beleive them. If you are already an apprentice electrician and have knowledge there, absolutely wait for an open slot in a career feild that will benefit you post military. I am an aircraft avionics maintainer and one of the main reasons i am separating from the military is because of all of the lucrative open doors i have thanks to the AF training and resume.

Although sometimes I wish i was a nonner because they have more travel opportunities. Ive been stagnant at the same base my entire 6 years, only escaping for 4-6 months at a time deploying to other deserts.

Plus there are alot of girls in services or finance and only about 5 out of 100 in maintenance.

But that is also a good thing in its own way as already stated. Dont get married, dont get pregnant. In my experience watching friends, only about 25% or less actually work out.

Anyway pm me any specific questions

Don't do what I did and accept a Security Forces contract lol

Never sell your body to ZOG. Read about what happened to the sailors of the USS Liberty.

Blumpkinson · 2019-01-10T03:54:50+00:00

Yeah the military specifically says they don’t want people with any kind of depression, for obvious reasons. Make sure not to bring any of that up with a recruiter.

DangZagnut · 2019-01-10T03:56:51+00:00

Don't jump out of any good airplanes.

Texian_Fusilier · 2019-01-10T04:57:27+00:00

Air Force doesn't like to recruit people above high school age. You can, but it's harder. Talk to all the branches, make sure you are eligible, and see who offers the best deal.

1Badshot · 2019-01-10T06:45:03+00:00

Join The Marines and stay in until these womanly impulses you have wear off. Avoid the dreaded dependapotomus!

(Just fucking with you. Good luck.)

hitomiJcup · 2019-01-10T06:50:16+00:00

Was in the Army for 6 years and from my experience Air Force is a cake walk. They are relaxed in everything they do. Just don't get married to anyone and buy any expensive cars after a deployment and you should golden. Learn a good job and cross train if possible. If they take you in you may have to wait a long time for your Basic from what Ive heard.

What goes up, must come down, and gravity is a cruel mistress who always gets her dues.

Unless you make it into space. Shoot for the stars, kid!

Some guys are talking about officer vs enlisted...they're just jobs, officers get paid more, but in the Air Force, they are also the only ones seeing combat.

24 years retired army guy....what you make of it is what it'll be. At least you won't have to worry about where you're gonna live and when you're gonna eat next.

I personally think the military is great for the listless soul, someone who hasn't found their way yet, and well, it's great for that.

I mean, out of all of the service branches in the entire world, it's the one that is more like a 9-5 job than a military service. I was a contractor for the AF for 9 years...it was really just a job where you don't have to buy your clothes.

Heck out my YouTube channel for sure man! Just graduated BMT, now I’m tech school and I have a whole lot of knowledge to share How to get ready formBMT

Air Force of which country?

If it’s the US you’ll just be a mercenary of the global elite, and if you want to be a mercenary, at least be one who can choose his own master.
