EPTI am just concerned about your reason for joining, because you will need alot of motivation to get you through it.
Best of luck if you decide to go in though.

Just because you are a clerk doesn't mean you get any different treatment going in. Maybe I don't know Travis so well, but how hard is it to make it through basic? I don't know about the Army, but judging from my own experience in the Marines you have to TRY to get kicked out of recruit training. Aside from going in with drugs in your system, the only way to get kicked out is to have a total emotional breakdown or something. I remember being quite disgusted with some of the total turd-buckets that they graduated in our platoon. It totally devalued the experience for me, that just about anyone can join and whine and bitch and cry their way through boot camp and still graduate. | ||

If you move into a monastery or buddhist temple I guess you don't need eartly possessions or make money to get by. SO just fuck money and become a monk, oh and please write a auto-biography when you are older | ||

Don't go into the USAF unless you're prepared to work doing something you're almost assuredly going to hate doing for 4 years, prepared to take orders from someone you don't like at all, treated poorly, and paid poorly. I'm not saying all of the above happen, but it happens often enough that you have to be prepared to accept it if you're thinking of joining the service. | ||

And they aren't going to let you be a linguist unless you qualify for a top secret security clearance. | ||

The training takes over a year at Monterey Bay at the Defense Language Institute. Does the Air Force let you contract for a job specialty before you enlist? In the Marines all you have to do is get appropriate scores on the DLAB and ASVAB and qualify for a TS. If you don't meet those requirements, you can walk away without even signing up. You may not end up doing exactly what you wanted, but whatever you do will be within that field. i.e. you might not end up working on avionics, but you might work on the electrical systems of guided missiles or vice versa. I don't know if the Air Force works differently in this respect, though. | ||

Idk about you but im happy as fuck with my pay in the Army. And i know ALOOOOOTTTTTT of people who have reenlisted just because of the Army's benefit's alone. Specially the married soldiers with dependents. Not sure if pay is much different from the Air Force with the Army though. But from what ive seen from workin on a Airforce base in Okinawa was that the rank structure is ridicolously laid back. I hear fuckin E3's talkin to E7's and officers like they were homies.. very interesting | ||

Yeh the Airforce is more of a workforce then a military from what ive seen. Nah, im US Army but i lived on Kadena Airforce Base for 2 years while stationed in Okinawa. Edit: I forgot to mention that Airforce chicks are the hottest then any other branch of the military. Marines have the fittest, and the Army has the ugliest/fattest. Coast Gaurd and Navy.. not sure, only seen a couple and they werent anything near special :D | ||
