Sorry if it seems like Im detering you from joining the AF , but whatever you choose will be good for you in a way. It all depends how much of a challenge your willing to undertake. I just wish more kids would sign up so they can grow up and learn some respect.
You don't have a flocking clue about what you are talking about... :squint:
Let's look at this from a career standpoint, shall we? You join some special forces outfit and you're super hard ass that gets all the respect from the kids in the forums because you've done hard time in the Army or Marines (cause they're better
). You get out of that branch with what exprience? You'll have a badass security clearance (which is great to have), but what else?
Experience
- Throws grenades swell
- Kills without a conscience
- Can sneak up and take your coffee cup without you ever knowing he was there
Seriously though, you will not gain a great deal of applicable corporate experience that you can use to market yourself once you get out. Consider your future when taking the military option into account. What do you want to do with your life? Once you find something, the military will likely have that job available for you. They will train you and pay for most of your college if you choose to go while you are in (or use the GI Bill once you get out - if you buy into it.. .which you SHOULD!)
For those of you that have seen Full Metal Jacket and Biloxi Blues and think you are all up to speed on the different branches, shut your traps. You don't have the first clue about what each of the branches have to offer. My strong advice, think of your future.
That is all...
