Can I join the air force if im married with two kids?
I plan on getting married in the next few weeks and I recently talked to an air force recruiter in Albany GA . He seems shady about a lot of questions that i wanted to ask so i wandered if anyone on here might be able to answer . The recruiter said I wouldn't be able to join with two kids but ive talked to other recruiters about different things and have gotten different answer's about different questions. The air force is the branch i would like to join but it doesn't look like i will be able to . Is there any way to get around this? I would appreciate any input. If i cant join the air force than its off to the navy but my heart has been stuck on the air force . The recruiter first told me since i had my ged i needed 15 college credits now i got the credits and he tells me this what should i do ?
I'm active duty air force marrying reserve army...?
I'm active duty in the air force about to marry my soon to be husband that's army reserve. I have orders to another overseas base in about 6 months. We're getting married in about three to four weeks. How will it work with him getting added to my orders and going to drill each month?
If you are in the air force reserve...?
I do not know if you get a slot earlier or not for reserve vs active. But I do know that for active duty there is currently an 8 month waiting list for basic. You do not, in reality, get to pick your base. There is a list of bases available for your job published and it is called the "EQUAL" list. You pick from that list and fill out your "DREAM sheet". If you are lucky you get a base that you want. For being married to another military member in the same branch. Sometimes it works out to where you get a "Joint Spouse" assignment. Where you get lucky and there is a job opening for both of you at base where you both want to go to. Usually one of you has a job that has fewer slots available. Maybe she has a specific job, like linguist. If it is a Korean Linguist, there are only like 4 bases she can be stationed. And lets say he is a firefighter. Every base has those. So, unfortunately, if you want to be stationed together, you have to hope that there are two slots open at one of the 4 bases that she can be stationed at. Hope that makes sense.
How does the Air Force reserve deal with adultery?
My husband and I are both in the military. He is in the Air Force Reserve I am in the Army National Guard. I just found out that while away on deployment to Iraq my husband has been cheating on me the whole time that we have been married. I am now in Iraq, we have an almost 2yrs old baby. What kind of punishment does the Air Force have for such act. He does work full time with the Air Force as a civilian, but he is in the reserve.
Thinking about joining the Air Force?
I'm 23 and I'm kind of tired just "drifting" through life, or so it feels that way. I've been thinking about joining the military. Actually I'm leaning towards the Air Force. I want to do intelligence and the Air Force seems interested in hiring me for intelligence, or so it seemed with the recruiter I talked to over the phone, but I live in a small town and the nearest recruiter is 6 hours away. Intelligence is like CIA operative and spy right? Well that's the most well known forms of the intelligence jobs right? I'm scared that I won't make it through boot camp. I have no kids, am not married, and basically I feel like I wouldn't be leaving anything behind. What's it like in the A.F.? What's the difference between the reserve and the A.F.? My mom is cool with the idea but my grandma, who is like a second mother, isn't cool with the idea. I want some purpose to my life and some adventure. What should I do? Any suggestions? Any advice?
Air Force Reserves or Active Duty?
I am married and have a 2 year old daughter. I just started school to be a surgical tech and am considering the Air Force Reserves. I then looked into it further and am now thinking that Active Duty might be a better option. Let me explain why I was considering reserves and active duty: 1. reserves- didn't want to be want to be away from my family, wanted to stay near home, and live a somewhat regularish life 2. active duty- the sense of serving my country and helping those who are serving brings me great joy, knowing that on a daily basis i am doing something to protect and help my family, going to school and not have to pay for it ( my school loans were going to run about $26,000!), my daughter is still young so its not to bad if we have to travel as much, after all is said and done, I will be back with my family still working for my country and family(i know there is the possibility of being deployed but anytime with my family is better than none). From someone who is in the reserves or active duty, what is your opinion on my situation? I am not looking for rude answers or people who are mad at the reserves or active duty. I read that you get to list 8 preferences or so, in active duty, of where you would like to be stationed. Do you normally get these preferences or no? What is it like for someone in the medical field in the reserves or active duty? What would be the benefit of me going active duty or reserves? not only for me but for my family as well. Should I just forget the whole thing and continue with my schooling that will be about 20 months at a private college(Bryman)? I don't mind serving my country and fellow citizens in return for my education and taking care of my family =) Thank you for taking the time to read this.God bless.
Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps: What are some things you regret doing or not doing as an AFROTC cadet?
I thought about this. Really, I did. Here's what I came up with...No Regrets.None.I could maybe dig up a few little things here and there like "I wish I spent another hour on this paper" or "I wish I had taken that research project a little more seriously." But really, any of that stuff was really minor and not worth even thinking about.So, instead, here's a list of what I'm glad I did, going through the AFROTC program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ...I'm glad I went to that school. They had one of the highest pilot selection rates in the nation and it paid off. I went to pilot training.I pledged Arnold Air Society and was active in the organization. It provided additional leadership training, enhanced camaraderie with my classmates, and looked good on the pilot training application.I took physical training seriously. I was underweight going in. Taking my physical conditioning seriously helped. I played intramural sports, ran, etc.I took the ROTC classes seriously. After all, this is what I wanted to do. Plus, I liked them, which was a bonus.I spent time with classmates. I was a bit socially awkward (and still am to a degree) but that helped me immensely.I had fun. Fortunately we never got caught that one time we used a surgical rubber water balloon launcher to lob water balloons into the middle of Freshman formations learning drill. Ah, good times.So, no regrets. Just a lot of great memories.May you do the same.
I am serving in Indian air force and having cleared IBPS exam thinking of joining banking service. Is it a good decision?
If your length of service is more than 10 years in the Indian Air force than continue in Airforce. Let's take a calculation, assuming that you joined the Airforce at the age of 19 years so you add your 10 years length of service then your age will be 29 years.So if you think that you can do even more better than bank p.o. you have only one year left for career enhancement.If your length of service is less than 8 years then you should go for bank.because at the age of retirement pension matters.You have cleared IBPS exams it means you have so much talent you can prepare for UPSC or STATE PCS.If you join the bank your working schedule will be almost fix. Your can plan your work, stay connected with your relatives.The biggest benefit of joining bank will be that if you are pallning for study hard and smart you will be having much more timing and schedule timing for studyIf you are not healthy and physically not fit then leaving the Airforce will not be a good option because you will not be provided free medical facilities.Last but not the least do not decision in emotioanlly, think every aspect of it economically,socially , culturally and intelligently. ALL THE BEST
Air force reserve deployment chance.?
Yes it is possible to deploy while in the Reserves. Despite popular belief, the AF reserve deploy as often as Active Duty. But that doesn't mean everyone deploys. I've been in the Reserve for over three years, have deployed once, and had three other opportunities to deploy. I also know people that have been in the AF reserve for over 20 years and haven't deployed once. Some jobs deploy more than others. Also, many units deploy their people on a volunteer basis. Basically, they ask who wants to go. Usually more than enough volunteer. But sometimes, they do have to pick people to go. The AF Reserve usually doesn't deploy whole units. They usually just pick several units, and those units have a certain number of people they have to send.
