RE: joining the military
Im in the Air Force right now. I think it pretty much all depends on your job on what you think of it. I wish I had a 9-5 job but it dont really ever work out that way for me. Right now I start work anywhere from 10 at night to 4 am, and I dont get off till the jets are fixed and ready to go.
Overall though it really aint that bad.
You guys is the AF whats your jobs? Where you stationed?

the army is about the same as a 9 to 5 job but SF on the other hand you have no life at all but if i had to do it all over again i wouldnt change a thing

I've always been told to go to college first and this will start you at a lot higher rank than just joining.

selection kicks your ***, alot of the bigger guys we had go in didnt make it because there body couldnt take it, it just depends really. we had a fat capt. come in with us and he did better then most of us its just what you can put into it and how far your willing to get beat

im torn between helicopter gunner, security force, or sf. with the air force i can go straight in as a gunner but in the army i think you have to start as a mechanic. air force spec ops doesnt realy seem to excite me much.
