um.... are u in the military? if not you would never understand. And each mans experience is different. Did YOU experience that? If not I can tell you 200+ years worth of shit people have done. Or 4 years of what I have done...

Marines have a chip on their shoulder - but it's a VOLUNTEER service. To me --- if you wear the uniform I don't care which one it is.
I did 8 in the Air Force... guess what, I looked at the pay - outside of special assignments it's the same. So why not work smarter for the same amount?
I GUARANTEE you I've been shot at more than a lot of Marines and have seen more hostile action than a lot of them as well.
I just made the decision that if I'm gonna get shit for pay REGARDLESS, I'll choose an organization where I can think and where I get a good quality of life. The Air Force has spec ops as well - tell an Air Force Comobat Controller he's a pussy. Tell an Air Force Pararescue troop that it's the "Cheer" Force and count how many pieces he rips you in to.
It's all about what you want. There is nothing sexy about holding a rifle and getting shot at for what the military pays. But that is what J'SON thinks. Some1 will think something diff and that's what makes it cool. I chose to sit on an airplane at 40,000+ feet and get shot at by surface to air missles. In MY job... they don't box u up and ship u home... they just mail a letter. When things go wrong in flight there is no use for a body-bag.
Diff strokes for different folks.
Thank you ALL for your service!!!

I will say one thing. My cousin was an Air Force Combat Controller. And I wouldn't call him gay unless someone paid me a lot of money to do so. He taught Drownproofing and works for FATS now. He still holds records in wrestling in Germany and on the Rugby Pitch (field) he was a holy terror.
But, since your Father was in the Air Force then he will know about the inter-branch rivalries. Nobody here is putting down your Fathers exploits in the war brother, if anything I am sure everyone here would shake his hand and give the nod of respect offered to anyone that sacrificed their lives to protect other Americans and keep our freedom free.
I was in the Navy...and we own the Marines!!!!!!

thats alot of sausage, the navy guys here are pretty cool though. us army guys always get free rides in submarines by them and the water here is crystal clear so its cool, but being on a submarine is kinda scary, IMO.
yeah, I would hate to be in one. If something fucks up and u get hit, you are screwed. at least in an airplane you can eject most of the time

Glad u said "MOST" of the time. LOL.. unless you flew on this guy like I did for 8 years (the below pic is actually my bird when I was at Gielenkirchen (germany) supporting NATO.
There is a bailout chute in every AWACS airplane - it was a $6 million dollar modification PER JET (33 jets in inventory, 1 was lost due to a bird strike in Alaska). When they started the testing they used a 220lb dummy - charged the system and that dummy only cleared the plane by 3 inches... the dummy cleared out about 20 antennaes along the underside of a plane going 300 mph. LOL.
The ONLY way a person could ACTUALLY use the bail-out chute w/out hitting antennaes is if they weighed 350lbs. Well, if u weigh 350lbs you're NOT gonna be in the Air Force, much LESS be on flying status. LOL. So they decided that the bail-out chute would not be used and removed all parachutes from the airframe.
There was an on-going joke that if we ever needed to use the bail-out chute, the lowest ranking man gets to go 1st (so he would die by clearing the million and one antennas under the jet). LOL
Another note about bailing out of a Boeing 707... if the pilot can hold the plane at the proper attitude, altitude and speed for SUCCESSFUL bail-outs, then that means that there's nothing wrong w/ the plane - so why are you trying to jump out of it. LOL. If the plane is functioning good enuff to maintain those specs, then it's functioning good enough to land it.
Way to go America --- your tax dollars at work.

"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
whatever u call it, it doesnt matter. I'd prefer the air force over all others. Pays well, works reasonable, not as much life threat and the tags look better than Army tags. (Sept FL, they have pretty navy tags)
But I know quite a few Air Force retirees and they go on and on about the great times and lovely quality of life the USAF has brought them and if I cannot continue to work here in civilian life I will wholly consider the USAF over all others. As Baby J stated, work smarter not harder.
CHASE ->>> WHAT MATTERS
your gonna enjoy it, my brother did it right out of highschool and is now 40yrs old and still in the air force, over 20 years now.
he has made one hell of a good life for himself and his sfamily in the airforce. i kinda think i should have done that . anywho good luck to ya im sure you will enjoy the challenge and the benfits
yes i am....
No but seriously.... I look back on it and if I didnt love the corps so much.... id switch to AF or Navy in a heart beat... we get treated like... well... very kind and generous because we love being marines (sarcasm)

thanks all.. my nerves are shot!! haha.. tech school should be awesome though, 9 months in Monteray California!! I'll definitely be spending my weekends at Laguna Seca!
^^ No you won't. LOL.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
well.. i'll be spending my weekends thinking about it.. lol
congrats on your decision and soak everything in while you're there. i plan on enlisting in the USAF shortly after the new year myself.
might as well get started now, it will take a while
nemesis950psi 1:47 pm : but id hit a tree with a hole if i was single
i just want to take my time and get in shape before i make any sort of commitment.
Keep your chin up at all times, even if you get punished. And don't jack up the serial numbers on your "money list" (you'll see what i mean when you get there).
AF basic is not a physical exercise, it's a mental game. I went through Lackland three weeks after returning from soccer camp - left 6 weeks later in worse physical condition than i arrived. They will break you mentally, but it's only for your own good.
Do not volunteer for anything, especially "Guide On" duty. (guy who carries the flight's banner)

are you crypto linquist???? or computers right???
i was af
hers a few tips....
SHUT THE FUCK UP
DO NOT VOLUNTEER FOR ANYTHING (except bed aligner or shoe aligner) trust me i know
DO NOT SNEEK MAIL TO CHAPEL GUIDE
DONT BE A PUSSY BITCH AND WASH OUT OF BOOT CAMP
DO NOT TELL ANYONE IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION (especially in the airforce they will throw you out for anything as they are overmanned)
YOU WILL GET THE "DORM COUGH" (its like pnemonia or whooping cough but i think it has something to do with all the shots they give you) EAT THE LOZENGES LIKE CANDY TO FIGHT IT OR THE LITTLE RED PILLS FROM THE DESPENCARY
DO NOT GET SCARED
DO NOT PUT 3 ROUND BURST ON IT DOESNT WORK AND WILL GET YOU SMOKED BY THE TI (i know because i tried and the m16 almost exploded..... it kinda did actually and i got fucking drilled)
lol@ AF basic
PIC TOO BIG
agreed
crypto linguist..
seems unanimous not to volunteer for anything lol...
god you got a shitty job....
get ready to fly around and listen to cell phone calls and stupid fucking shit alllllll day.
or listen to radio shit that makes no sense that trys to lead soldiers into traps....
but its all good youll make easy money
Hey man, it's Air Force Basic, don't be nervous. "Gung-ho" is a Marine term btw, LOL. I really don't think AF has any terms like that, I mean they just started PT tests last year, they can't be too "gung-ho." You're going to Monterey huh? You going to be a Linguist? You'll be okay, like I said, it's just Air Force Basic. They'll let you try out for PJ when you're in Basic too, try it out....
According to Taketomi, true VIP style tuning is limited to only 10 Nissan and Toyota models: Nissan President, Cima, Gloria, Cedric and Fuga; Toyota Celsior, Century, Aristo, Crown and Majesta.
Don't go for PJ. Use your brain --- select something that you can use more readily on the outside. One day you WILL get out --- you wanna take something with you. When you give the best years of your life to an organization the tradeoff better be WELL worth it. "Glory jobs" are kool - but be smart about it.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
I say do the "glory job," both Pararescue and CCT are marketable skills, do it while you're young.....

Sure they are - but you could also just be a medic --- or ATC --- and not have to worry about a life-expectancy of 10 days. I had a glory job... but I also was smart about it.
