Why am I watching this? I’m already in the Air Force

[Mikeplaysdbd]

Plot twist: this is actually a recruitment video😂

[ABELky]

I'm a veteran (Army) and there's this guy at my work going through college who asked me "Hey I wanna join the military after my degree, which branch should I join?"

I looked at him and said "I like you man, so do yourself a favor and join the Air Force."

33 years Air Force active duty enlisted, officer, and defense civilian. Loved it, loved it, loved it. 19 assignments, 12 years overseas, combat ops, blowing stuff up, taking down bad guys, working with professionals, camaraderie, world travel, cultural immersion, free or cheap education, dear friends of all races, religions, cultures. Wish I didn't have to get old and have to finally punch. If you can, join.

I'm in the process of enlisting right now! Can't wait to leave home and go do something with my life. Working a retail job and getting shit on all the time by rude customers wasn't cutting it for me.

[jamesrivas]

I’m in the Army and would definitely recommend Air Force to anyone thinking about joining.

The Air Force was one of the best decision i made coming out of high school. I retired back in 2014 after 28 years of service! I truly miss it dearly and would do it all over again in a heart beat. So for anyone considering the military i would suggest the Air Force...Air Power!!!

My husband retired from the AF after 20 years of service. We had 2 daughters and got to live in England (where one was born), Germany, Italy and stateside and we wouldn't had it any other way. It was the best decision we ever made. We retired in San Antonio, TX.

This is awesome! One of best “tips” guides I’ve seen out there... and it was funny! 😂

[KeaganLegit]

I'm tired of crappy jobs, financial stress, and living at home. I'm 21 years old and I feel like the air force can change my life for the better. The benefits are amazing and I'm sure I'll love every minute of it.

Like Sam said he did, I enlisted in the Air Force because I wasn't sure about what I wanted to do in my life. After taking the written tests that gauge various aptitudes, my recruiter said my electronic and mechanical scores came in at the 95th percentile. He said I have a wide range of jobs I can choose from. Jobs like jet mechanic, radar repairman and so on. As the recruiter rattled off various jobs, nothing really jumped out at me. Then he said if I am willing to do the delayed enlistment program for three months, I can choose the job of "Flight Simulator Technician". I jumped on that. At the time, my uncle was a Captain for Continental flying DC-10's. He endorsed my decision 100%. He even brought me to Continental's training facility at LAX so I could see simulators in action. I did a four and a half year enlistment (including eight months of Tech School). I rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E5) in 3.5 years. Bottom line...I have no regrets. It was a great experience and I met a lot of nice people. My tour ran from 12/75 through 6/80.

The traveling part is awesome. My cousin is a Air Force mechanic and he legit went to Antarctica.

[MCNN]

The AF DOES take care of their own. I wish I would have appreciated it more and stayed in.

[eriktheblue]

I agree. Unless you are a CEO or successful business owner, the USAF can and will change your life for the better 🇺🇲

[jameslyons]

Best decision I ever made. Did 21 years mixed active and guard. I joined in 86 as a law enforcement specialist and ended up having another career in federal law enforcement. Now fully retired from both, had 32 years of travel and adventure and am enjoying being in my 50s with the freedom to do what I want.

[Ltkill]

Currently halfway in college and seriously thinking about joining the Air Force as an officer after I graduate from college. Not only do I want to serve my country but I feel as joining the air force as an officer will lead me to a better career in life rather than just going into the work force after college.

The benefits the air force provides are beyond amazing to me, medical, insurance, and other benefits seem beyond amazing.

Sure I have to be physically and mentally prepared for it, but if I can get through general chemistry I think I can get through OTS 😂.
