I didnt go in completely guaranteed. I qualified for EWQ(Exceptionally Well Qualified) because I got a 95 of 99. So basically I'm guaranteed one of my top 3 picks... which were
1C6-Space Systems Operation
1C1-Air Traffic Control
&
1N0-Intelligence Applications
So I'm just wondering how long it'll be before the recruiter calls me and says hey we got a job and a date for you... Because fuck... I wanna get the show on the road you feel me... I'm tired as fuck and sick from MEPS because everyone there was sick... HELLA GAY-

from what ...yall bootcamp like 7 weeks and sum change...yall prt are run in a fuckin treadmill...marines run 3 miles under 28 mins...everyother branch is 1.5...is that why when marines go to other branches they dont needa do their bootcamp? i get what u sayin but you will see the diff when u in the airforce and u see a marine corps detachment in ur base...
truth. The Army runs 2 miles, but their requirements aint really much different from the AF. I aint gon lie tho, the Marine Detach at my last post and here do a LOT more PT then we do, and we don't do combatives yet. I aint trippin tho, there's a reason why I joined the AF and that's cuz I got a brain point blank period.
At PG, basically whenever a slot opens up he'll give you a call. Like I said that could be days or months.

LMAO yall consider that seperate pft events..lol do yall do it on seperate days or what....a pft is considered in the marine corps, 3 mile run, 2 mins of crunches and a minimum of 3 pull ups....and even if it is 2 miles...and startin later this year their adding a "cft" combat fitness test....which is another series of physical challenges that u gotta do on the same day of the pft...
the marine corps mission is also much different then the air force... marines are like shock troops... air force airman are more the support beam that makes sure you guys dont get completely shitted all over... without the air force youd all die.... like i said everyone plays their part... are you even in the marine corps?
My brother is in the AF National Gaurd... and his lazy ass made it through Basic, came out with a good job.
He does Non-Destructive Inspections on Aircraft parts. He's been at his job less than a year and LITERALLY can travel to roughly any state in the U.S. and start out at 16/hr bare minimum. Some places have offered him up to 24/hr, but he would have to move out of state and start a new life elsewhere, which he cant do with a 3 year old son and baby momma. Once he gets his level 3 certification he will be making 70G+ per year, which is something I'll be striving to hit with an MA in Psychology and 10 years of schooling.
However, the NDT (Non-Destructive Technician) job involves critical math and science skills, which have never exactly been my strong point. Nevertheless, Im an intelligent guy with an analytical mind and am sure with the same amount of training/study time as my bro, I could do his job for a few years. It's like (almost) any other shop job, but you get paid better and are serving more important customers (major airlines, USAF) than most shops.
Regardless of what you do in the AF, try and get yourself a job at a base in a state you love. Good luck and smart choice, hopefully they dont boot your ass out any time soon... because well, they're doing that right now. It's hard to get accepted into the AF at this time.
My mother has also been dating a master seargent/crew chief for the past 5 years, and I can tell you this:
you actually may encounter some crab legs while in Iraq if you serve, which no other branch of the military will get
and
the Air Force has the highest budget out of any military branch in the US, which has earned them the name (on top of other factors) the Chair Force.
Its pure Fact that the AF is the best branch in the military. I say this is fact because they protect their people better than any other, take care of their people better than any other, and pay their people better than any other (think big picture here folks.)
so if you want to argue that point...
what would you rather have: a greater chance of dying or suffereing a lifelong injury and getting paid shit with a large risk of developing alcoholism and PTSD, or being a lazy ass and making lots of money, pretty much being ensured your safety because the marines and army are ordered to protect you?
