well i posted a couple of weeks ago about how i felt my life was crumbling with having no job, getting engaged and finding out my fiancee was pregnant to some major family issues also. well coming from a military background from my father (retired airforce) i chose to actually go into the airforce and talked to a recruiter last friday and should be going to take my asvab thursday or friday. i'm real excited actually and am looking forward to starting my life and becoming a father and husband  . it's tough to grow up so quick at 19.

Let me wish you good luck.......25 years to retirement, you will be 44 y.o. Then using what you learned in the AF, continue in the private sector until 60. This will give 2 pentions and you may spend your idle time visiting your Grandchildren(they live in Hawaii). I met one Gent from L.A. who did this and is still touring North America and I work with another Vet whose plan this is. Oh ya, I'm 50,no kids and I get NO retirement! I am so far from it, I've picked out the bridge I plan to live under.
Funny , just a few moments ago you where between a rock and a hard place......and now you are planning you Tropical retirement. DO IT DUDE!

Make sure your MOS(military occupational status) is defined so you do not drive convoy in Iraq. Do not let your recruiter decide what you are gonna be doing, but your dad probably already told you about all this. Good luck and be careful. If you have any questions please pm me

Just to nitpick, it's Military Occupational Specialty. And good luck with the AirForce. It's about as Civilian oriented as the services go, so when you get out, you should be fully prepared for the civilian world and you'll have the training, responsibility, and dedication to succeed.

Muhaha!!! I'll nitpick both of ya!
It's not MOS in the Air Force, it's AFSC (Air Force Specialty Code).
I totally agree with you, Plato... it's WAY different than the Army. Like I'm an electrician, I work 7-5 on electrical jobs. Nothing else (except PT, of course). When I deploy, I work on electrical stuff (unless you're T tasked like I was for convoy duty... but I STILL ended up just doing electrical work for em!).
I've seen guys in the Army that were doing something totally different than they were trained to do for peacetime. My friend was field artillery... when it came up for them to go to Iraq, the Army decided they should all be MPs. Then ya got the Navy... they seem to have contrasting peacetime/wartime duties (like an electronics mate that clears boats of drugs when deployed).
----------------
Kinda humorous story with the MOS thing...
When I was in Kuwait with the Army, they were curious b/c a lot of them have never seen Air Force guys before (the Army Nat'l Guardsmen at least). They would ask what our MOS was, and since I know that means job, I would tell them I'm an electrician. They'd come back and say something like "55Zulu" or something. I'd be like "uhhh... WTH is that?" They'd respond with Supply or Ammo or something to that nature.
----------------
BTW, your greatest chance of getting deployed with the Army, according to the AF Times, is to be Security Forces (cops) or CE (carpenters/electricians/plumbers/hvac/etc).

Maybe my first srgt was making fun of me when he use that term. And yes that is for the army. Must have been because I was going for a 63B to a 88m.
