KindaKoolKaia?!

Well 15 July 2013 anyway, I know this sounds silly but i'm actually pretty sad and scared about turning 20. I feel like I will be a real grown up now even though I have been living on my own for over a year and a half now telling ppl i'm 18-19 they have always helped me out a little but i'm scared im going to be faceing a rougher life now. Not to mention I have had a lot of crappy things happening in my life latley & have been/am super stressed...I know it sounds dumb but I just need some words of encouragement right now! Thanks! & God Bless! =)

I joined the USAF today & I will remember this day for the rest of my life!

What made you decide to join?

How was your experience?

How did you choose your branch?

How do you feel about your choice?

I'm currently in the process of joining the USAF I comptemplated the Marines but decided agaisnt it & I was just wondering

If given the chance & in the right circumstances name ten people you would ****

I really want to join the AF im 18 but at the same time idw to regret not joining the AF Reserves and going to school first. IDK what to do!!

Also idw to get stuck in the reserves regretting not going active and having finacial probs at such a young age! But I would get my bachelors degree out of the way!

AHHH i'm so confused & lost as to what to do!

ADVICE PLEASE!

Should I join the Reserves and be a full time student even though I will have to stuggle with studying and working and struggling finacially while doing so. But i'll be 21 when I get my degree

OR

Join active and take online classes there and wait till my time is up and double my GI benefits(thats possible right?) But have to but school on the backburner after work, it waill take longer to get my degree and i'll be 21 when I graduate still lacking a degree and with more school to complete

BUT i'll have more money and benefits while doing so.

i'm 18 currently & just graduated in May

If I train for a job that makes a fair amount of money or any job in general at tech school in the Air Force & then come back to civillian world Trained in that job and certified for it at Tech school, But the job requires a degree will I still have to get a degree before doing the job or is the Certification and training I got in tech school and from the Air Force enough?

Also Is it smarter/easier to join the AF Reserves and go to school while serving or To just go active and go to/finish school after i'm out?

i'm 18 btw

I REALLY want to travel and see the world! I'v been in this same city my whole life & i'm ready to get out! But at the same time I want a job that will transfer easily over to the civillian world making a pretty decent amount of money.

Also a job that offers a signing bonus or an oppurtunity to graduate from BMT an E-3 or 2 would be nce but its not something i'm dying to get.

I want a job that requires more brains than bron!

BTW i'm 18 a high school graduate 5'8" and about 135lbs(incase it keeps me from gettiing certain jobs)

I'm currently not going to college(cant afford it) i'm working a penny enny job that i'm begginging to hate I feel stuck and I want something more in life! & I feel the AF will give me the oppurtunity to go where I need to go! Or at least give me direction in life!

Im 18 and im comptemplating the Reserves but Idw to regret not going active duty later does anyone here regret not going active especially being as young as me?

Or mabey the other way around and regret not joing the Reserves first!?

If so WHY?!

Btw i'm thinking about joining the AF for any advice helps!

I'm 18 and have been seriously considering joining the AF but I'm stuck between Activte Duty and the Reserves...How is life in the Airforce while on active Duty?

Do you like where you were stationed and your job?

Was it your choice?

Is it what you expected?

How is the travel and are the amazing experiences they promise as good as they make it sound?

Do you have any regrets?

Any advce for me would be GREATLY Apprecciated!!! =)

Thanks Guys! =)

PLEASE give me some advice!

I'm 18 and I'm going to join the Air Force! I just dont know which to choose!

I want to be able to travel and live on my own and work & I know active duty will give me that opputunity. But at the same time I'm comptemplating going to school and I know in active duty that gets put on the backburner, also I want to be able to transfer my millitary job to a well paid civillian job and I know after tech school I should easily be a ble to do tha tin the reserves but I will be stuck working & struggling to juggle that with school with no money for room and board in college. Also my travel opputunities and independence will be but on the backburner as well b/c I will be basicly stuck in the same city I am now & living with my stressful,VERY controlling parents especially father if I do go to the reserves! So i'm kinda at a fork in the road! I'v talked to both recruiters & Idk what to do at this point! Please give me some advice thanks!

I want to join the reserves and then got to college full time and enter the ROTC program so that I can graduate an officer. my question is if I do will they pay for my room and board and books as well or will I just get tuition with the GI Bill?

im 18 & just out of high school I cant afford school or room and board at the moment

& would Army be a better option?

Sorry its Long!

I just turned 18 and I have no money for college!

I was planning to join the Air Nationa Guard(ANG) Go to a community colege for a semester Go to basic, Tech school, & training & then transfer to a 4 year university and join their AFROTC program as a sophmore. I was then planning to switch to an active duty officer in the Air Force and out of the ANG when I graduate.

I was told by my recruiter that I could do this and my question is, is this true or was she just lying to me? Also is this a sure thing or could my transfer to active duty in the AF from the ANG be denied?

Also how much would I make a month about being in the ANG? and the ROTC program...I really wanna focus on school and I wanna know if i'm gonna have to have a part time job ontop of all ot this?

Please Answer truthfully and be as informative as you can...I really need answers and I'm running out of time!

Also what types of jobs would you reccomend in the ANG and what are the scores required for them? I'v been working out and trying to study for the asvab, along with going to work & stressing over college and the millitaty & i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed!

I'm also really nervous about MEPS! any advice would be great! I'm a very modest person but I know modesty have will be thrown out the door when I join and go to basic...& i'm really healthy & dont do drugs or anything like that...But I dont have the best vision in the world & i'm really hoping I dont get dq'ed for that! Mabey i'm just stressing over little things but please give me some info and advice! thanks again!=)

Thanks Guys! =)
