I'm in the active duty Air Force i recent that quote. I just spent 7 months in Iraq working hand in hand with the Army doing convoys from BIOP (Bagdad International Airport) to Balad, Iraq. Every convoy i was one we where shot at. Every day i spent in Balad, Iraq there was an everage of 5 -6 morder attacks a day.

Don't join the military for the money though. Personally i don't think the money is all that great. I joined the military cause i felt i had no other options in my life at the time. I picked the Air Force just because thier way of life and expenses. I'm ready to get out and move on though. I hate having to get up and move all the time or deploy for long periods of time. There are other small things i'm just tired of. The military isn't for everyone but i do appreciate it getting me on my feet and cleaning me up.
