answers 0:I've been doing extensive research for weeks on joining the Air Force and I only hear good things from anyone in it as it as if there are little to no draw backs. I have not personally met anyone who has been in the AF but many people from other branches that I've spoken to tend to regret joining the military and usually come out with no real civilian career path as if they are essentially starting over in life (education and career life) and likely use the military solely for the free education, is this the same for airmen out in the civilian world? Guys or girls that joined with a significant other at home- how was the separation and would you join again even if it meant ending a lengthy relationship? Airmen, what job do you have in the AF? Do you like it? What are the pros and cons of your specific job?, and can your job get you a career if you left the military tomor! row? (Please be honest). What are the jobs that I should be looking to try to get? And why? What jobs should I probably stay away from? If you're in the AF and don't like it please explain why. I'm interested in joining for all the right reasons and I realize that I may be coming off the wrong way but i assure you that I don't intend it to be that way. Naturally I'm nervous about the thought of deciding on a complete life changing experience, especially at age 25. Thank you very much in advance for your time and help!...Show moreanswers 1:Joining at 25? Things must really BAD out there. Depending on the person, the AF or sany military service can be worthwhile. You can learn a trade which is in need once out. As you basically said, ther is no call for riflemen in civilian US. it's up to the enlistee to determine if the MOS/AFSC will provide training for the future. It's more difficult for one joining the AF to get that AFSC which will help their futue than one joining the! US Army. Reason - the Army will guarantee MOS training given ! the person's ASVAB and line scores. Plus physical qualifications. The AF won't guarantee anything except a general areaa of jobs. If one gets the right AFSC, things in the AF can be good. In the Guard and reserves, one joins into a MOS/AFSC. however, the training is only 39 days a year....answers 2:i joined the air force at 18 not knowing what i wanted to do and i got picked for the mechanical field. i found out at the end of basic that i was going to be a hycraulic mechanic. they send me to chanute afb in illinois for aircraft/pneudraulic sytems mechanic and worked various aircraft during my career. stayed 22 years. loved it. what else could you ask for, a steady paycheck, free meals, free dental/medical. back then you could be send tdy all over the world. went from coast to coast and even overseas with a recovery team to fix an airplane to come back to the states. i would do it over again. no regrets....answers 3:okay, first off, the military, not even the air force is a ! job training programits just not there to train you in a job, so you can leave and get a civilian job2. so other than basic things like plumber, construction, auto mechanic, certain medical jobs, fork lift driversmost military jobs, have no civilian counter partsthats why they offer theGI BIll -- so you can go get an education or job training to find a job.2. there is no right or wrong reasons to enlist -- you talk to 100 people, then your gonna get 100 different answers on why they enlisted...answers 4:There's hardships like being posted to isolated bases.
