Well yesterday I went to a USAF recuiter, and decided I'm going into the USAF enlisted. (Don't worry its still a year off before I join up.) I think I'm going to apply for...

Jet Engine Mechanic
Fighters (Tech)
Bombers (Tech)
Intelligence
Avionics

I get five choices that I pick to put on a form. The one i most want to the one I least want. If a posistion Isn't availible for the first one, it goes down the list and so on and so forth. I'll be coming out of basic as a Airman First Class A1C (E-3) because of my JROTC training. After two years automatic promotion to Senior Airman SrA (E-4). Look at the dormitories enlisted personnell get  http://www.afcee.brooks.af.mil/dc/dcd/arch/enlisteddormitories/pdf/figure_5b.pdf

good luck blade:)
and good choice one of the few armed forces you really have to use your brain:)

I wanna be a pilot 
but i guess i have to have a major for that, so im off to college first!

F22

I THINK he said the F/A-22 rocks. In some stupid text format that someone created so people can pass notes in class and the teachers couldn't decipher them.

Thanks guys! I was looking into the USMC also but I saw that the Air Force offered more and I'd like to work on aircraft. When I join up I'll still be here, albiet not as much, and using FS and all my other games also. I'll have high speed internet I'm sure at most stations I'm at. But if not I guess I'll have to pay for a 56k conn  . If the airforce will allow it. But I'm sure they have high speed internet in all the dormitorys. Most everyone will have a PC with them I'm sure. I'm pretty sure the USAF is the only service that allows you to bring your PC to the base with you, all the other services I don't think you can. You see this is what my dream is. To work around the biggest and the baddest aircraft the world has and still use my PC, so that means I can still design planes! But at a MUCH MUCH lower pace than now. Due to the USAF's needs, and deployments etc.

Yep six weeks in San Antonio for basic, I'm not telling Andrew when I'm there, he'll probably pop up at the bases gate wanting to see me lol.

The recruiter told me that every base now has those dorms. Yes my Mom and Dad are going in next week to talk about it. Also you can't just signup as mechanic. I'll be as a Jet Engine Mechanic, or Bomber/Fighter Technician, Avionics or Intelligence. Its changed since 1983, now I choose when I want to go to basic once I graduate, and they don't let you do general, you have to choose the feild you want to work in and then you sign a contract. I won't sign anything till I'm guaranteed. I have looked around and yes the USAF since 1992 has been upgrading all of their dorms on every permanant base to this status, either small housing like those. Or in large buildings but with the same layout.

Sure, like you would really see me pop in to see what  basic training is like

You may think that i'm just saying these things because you're going in. You could ask anyone in my family and they would tell you i've been seriously thinking about it for quite a while.
