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

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.

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.

teach english in korea? my little sister was there for two years, saved up almost $30k because the school covered her rent and fed her breakfast and lunch every day in addition to her pay. she didn't speak any korean before she went there either. she couldn't get a job in the USA she was happy with and just moved back again and scored an even sweeter setup this time. not sure if she is just super lucky or if it really is that easy...

Coast guard imo. Being navy enlisted sucks. Most Navy enlisted guys are retarded. Trust me, from personal experience. And also, air force benefits suck. They, along with the marine corps, have the longest promotion waits and lowest sign-on bonuses. I would also HIGHLY recommend army intel. Hell, if you sign on as army intel, they will pay u a 25k enlistment bonus and teach you korean, and then send you to South Korea to interpret radio signals from North Korea. You just have to pass a very basic intelligence test. Check out MOS 35 in army. As long as your a reasonably bright guy who doesn't mind saying "good morning sir" 4034302484 times a day, you'll make a great intel soldier.

She is definitely super lucky; plenty of people have had really bad experiences as well, although perhaps some of the Korea-located denizens could help him avoid this. I think in general though without a college degree he wouldn't be eligible for many positions.

How large is the debt if we may ask? And what stakes do you play--so we can get an idea how long it could take to repay it.

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

I laugh at this because some POLICE departments hire you even if you've smoked weed before. I'm surprised the Military is so picky with all the bitching they do about amount of people they need.

Travis please trust me on this. Unless you have an actual desire to serve in the military beyond monetary compensation, DO. NOT. DO. IT. You need to WANT to do the job and you will get weeded out in a few weeks of training unless you actually have the desire to serve.

I think it's more about the fact that someone has balls to tell them that; edit: and how retarded he has to be to do that, is there a position in Police where one actually kills people on a daily basis?
Even SWAT isn't as dangerous as real war imo.

I don't know why but for the first time I just realized how disgusting it is that there are religious positions (chaplain, etc.) in the army. I guess I never really thought about it before.

Uh you take a lie detector test when you join the more major police departments so they WILL find out bro.

Also if you think killing people on a daily basis actually has any direct relationship to how dangerous a job is in this circumstance you're rather ignorant of police work.

Police officer is dangerous shit because in the grand scheme of things you know what to expect in a war... with Police a routine traffic stop can turn into a gun fight. I guess by and large war would be more dangerous but I don't know what it being dangerous or not has to do with smoking weed back when they were like 15.

Travis if you make it through basic ill pay all your debts. Actually no i wont but that's how convinced i am you aren't going to survive basic. Just because you are a clerk doesn't mean you get any different treatment going in.

Yeah, cryptolinguistics is ALSO a really hard billet to get, and you also can't get it with a 4 year enlistment, only with a 6 year. The training takes over a year at Monterey Bay at the Defense Language Institute.

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.

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

I'm sorry if this is normal knowledge or has been posted somewhere else, just curious as to what town you live in seeing as how I live in Oregon as well.

If its personal or whatever thats fine .

Also, good luck figuring out what you want to do. You and I are on a very similar boat...
