So, I need to make some money. My life is kinda crappy right now. It doesn't seem like I have all that many options.

I am a very peaceful person but other than any violent aspects, I think I could make a pretty good soldier.

I am not really looking for anything very long term, I just need a place to live and a source of income to pay back my debts. I want to become a monk after my debts have been paid.

Any opinions/experiences? Thanks

Joining the Air Force is supporting the Air Force and it's actions imo. If you are a peaceful person you shouldn't do it.
You could try some normal work, it will probably take you longer to pay your debts...

just fyi but you have to have no criminal record, a high school diploma, and no chronic injuries (even screws or whatever in your bones count even if the limb is 100%). Oh yea no drugs of course (don't even say you've tried weed it'll disqualify you for shit)

I was like |_| this close to joining the air force once upon a time. bad idea to join any military imo
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Military is awesome, go join if you're willing to be sent overseas to Iraq. Because you will be. Great benefits, though.

Oregon has very high unemployment, I have no credentials or work experience, I don't drive or own a car, and my parents live 15 miles away from the nearest town (I am staying at my parents house).

My parents don't want me to keep playing poker, they aren't very fair about it as their expectations of what I should be doing to pay back this debt are not reasonable and they do not give any suggestions to me other than the military.

I can't go to college and I don't really want to anyways I do not want a long term career, I just want to pay back this debt.

As for joining the air force, my parents claim it is unlikely I would ever be put in a place of combat, I don't really know. I know that the air force accomplishes many good things for people, as well as the bad. I looked at the pamphlet thing my mom brought home and this pararescue job looks interesting, though I guess that would involve being put in combat situations and I don't want to have to shoot anyone.

Frankly I don't need or even want much from life, I am a jaded though peaceful person who rarely feels strong emotions either way. I just want to settle my past so that I don't have to bother about it anymore, and so I can be independent.

do you actually know what you are talking about though? do airmen have a high rate of being sent off to warzones?

by soldier I mean someone who takes orders, an "enlisted person". I do not mean the stereotype soldier, a member of the army.

air force technicians are still soldiers.

I would like that, but from the small amount of research I did, it sounded like it wasn't a good way to make money, or that if anything it would *cost* me money to do.

As a citizen, he's already supporting the Air Force.

if you're a peaceful person and want to join an armed forces branch i suggest you join either the air force, the navy. unless you want to be a SEAL or drop bombs, they play very defensive roles in today's armed forces.

the closest you get to combat in the 3 i suggested:
Air Force: Transport Army personnel and equipment to Iraq/Afghanistan or fly bombing missions there.
Navy: Operate on a ship in the ocean near Iraq/Afghanistan or fly bombing missions there (yes the Navy has it's own air capabilities).
Coast Guard: Search and Rescue or Drug Interdiction in the Gulf of Mexico.

if anyone else thinks i missed something, feel free to add.
