What would a new recruit expect to be payed once he joined the AF?
and what kinda bonuses do they give?

Oh dang that sucks. My dad was a Marine recruiter working at the MEPS and he knew the air force recruiters so I didnt have to worry about getting screwed over. So i screwed myself. If you really want out you could say you're gay, but even I dont hate my job that much.

wtf, lol, thats funny...
do people actually do that?

About 1100 before taxes and you be given a dorm room and free food. As far as bonuses go, don't let that be you deciding factor. There's one reason why the military offers bonuses: they cant keep people in the the career field. Which might be because the job sucks(like mine), or its dangerous, or the money on the outside is alot better than staying in once your trained(most computer jobs).

Yeah I've heard a bunch of stories, so if you start talking to a recruiter and he promises you something get ahold of me or someone else in the military and find out if its true.

I don't pay state taxes at all.. I am a texas resisdent and will be while they have have state taxes.

Well, what jobs do you think would be nice...and what score do you need to get on that test to get them?
I took the practice test at my friends uncle's house...and i got a 50 on it...that was 2 years ago...i'm definetly sure that i can get 65+ now...

I'm a cali resident and i don't pay them either, i just had to fill out some form saying I'm a resident but I dont live there, not many people know about it.

Personal and information management, if you want to get some college done. Those are easy as hell to do.

What are you're interests and goals??

I just wnt something that i can do, and enjoy until i retire...or to do something that sucks and get payed a lot for it until i retire...lol

Well something you might enjoy, I might think sucks. Like maybe you like cooking, I don't. If you want something challenging and you make alot of cash inside or out, then an air traffic control job is pretty cool.

I don't want something really challenging...cuase sometimes i just can't handle a lot of pressure...I just need something where i can go to work every day and know what i'm gonna do...I need structure...

Just about any job in the military is going be structured. I say Personel or Information management, low stress, easy to do, off on holidays and weekends. Basically a 9-5. And you can do some college at the same time.

What kind of bootcamp/training thing do they do in the AF?

Its six weeks long and its not that hard. Nothing like the Marines or Army. Sure you get yelled at but big deal everyone there is getting yelled at. The exercise stuff is a piece of cake, anyone can do it.

Hey Mobbo, I jumped in on this one kinda late...if you have any questions about the Air Force or the military in general and Az or V8 doesn't get a chance to answer them, let me know and I'll do what I can to help you....

alright, cool...

oh no the armyguy read the military post
 

haha actually in the army you get treated like your twelve. Stupid things go on. Room inspections at 0330. I live on the biggest post in all of the military. I'm a 14J (juliet). it's a sentinel radar operator. I track anything that moves in the sky and classify it. the only thing i can think of this transfering over is to an air traffic controller. um my basic was 9 weeks, and was tough. never thought i'd drag my head in woodchips but i did. I went to Ft. bliss tx in el paso for 19 weeks of school (damn) where we still had drill sergeants even though i was told it was like college. i got no bonus for join but i did get 54,000 dollars for college (24,000 army college fund 30,000 MGIB). i enlisted for 2 years. since i'm from illinois the state pays for all my college. i dont pay taxes. we get all weekends off. one four day weekend a month and other cool shit. my pay grade is e-3 and i make 1305 a month. i pay a car payment, digital cable, cable modem, surround sound..new computer..the whole works. It's not that bad. Drinking is fun =) i dunno if you wanna know about the army talk to me

I feel you man...my dorm in school was right next to the Army barracks (Keesler AFB. MS) so I would see how they got treated and such...didn't look like fun. My Tech school was 10 months long but it was like college (kinda). I actually miss it a little........

SEMPER FI DO OR DIE..GUN HO, GUN HO! that is why you dont have to be smart to be a marine you just have to used your head.

And i though you said you never bash people on the board....or generalize.

I was just as pissed as Biker was...
he had all the right in the world to say what he said.

Re: Re: oh no the armyguy read the military post
 

When were you at Keesler? I was there for my tech school as well.

Re: Re: Re: oh no the armyguy read the military post
 

I was there from May '98 to Jan '99......you were in the 334th, right? I was in the 338th.

I was there from sep'99 to march'00, oh well we werent there at the same time. Oh i was in the 335th, nice new dorms and only had to share the bathroom with one person. I've heard alot of crap about other squadrons.

Yeah, when I was there we lived in the shitty dorms....they sucked. The new dorms weren't built until after I graduated....but I've been down to Keesler a couple of times for training classes and all that.....it's totally different now. The triangle isn't the triangle anymore :crazy:
