that depends on your motives for joining in the first place. you should not make decisions that will effect the rest of your life based upon what someone else wants. the armed services are a great way to discover who you are and give yourself a chance to learn responsibility and confidence. it is not a good choice if you are trying to run away from something or someone.
if you do join you and your boyfriend will only be apart for the 5 weeks it takes to complete training at lackland. after that you will be assigned to another training facility to learn the new job you will be doing. that can take up to 18 months. during that training period you are allowed to live off base. if you get permission from the company commander the air force will pay you a monthly allowance for food and housing. when you are assigned your permanent duty station it is just like having a reqular job. most of the time it is 8-5. there are 2nd shift jobs also and 3rd. (war never sleeps) again you will be allowed to live off base in civilian housing. the military is a great way to experience life and sometimes the world. you may be lucky enough to learn a good skill that will get you a high paying job when you get out. i was in in 1970 and one of my buddies was trained to calibrate high tech measuring devices. a couple of months before he got out he received letters from several companies offering him interviews for jobs that paid $65K+. that was a great deal of money in 1970.
i say go. if he loves you he will follow or wait. if he doesn't love you it does not matter anyway. good luck
ps - at one point they will ask you to fill out a form requesting a duty station. do not write down where you really want to go. in my experience you will get sent to just the opposite. but, don't write down some place that is really sucky either. not many people want to go there so they may take you up on it. that is the military way.

I planned on joining the airforce, until I met my fiance'. We fell in love right away, and I completely threw out my dream of joining the air force, because i love her.
I still talk about it, just to see how she feels today, and she gets upset and when I asked her why; she told me that we'd be away from eachother so much, theres a chance that I wouldnt come home and she couldn't deal with the uncertainty of not knowing if i was okay on a day to day basis...
I would still like to enlist and be a part of the fight for our country, but I wouldn't honestly be able to handle being away from my fiance' for that long, or that often and I understand where shes coming from.
Just talk to him and find out waht the reasons are for his worry... then go from there...

Look, if you really want to go into the Air Force, you should do it. Don't let your boyfriend keep you from something you're passionate about. It's good that he cares about your safety, but he can't make you stay with him.

I'm going into the army for 5 years active as a MP.....I was single at the time I swore in (and still am). If its what you want to do, then do it. Did you know that only 1% of Americans serve their country? Word of aquired advise: only be in a relationship that you are 110% sure he/she wont cheat on you. I am doing it single, and hoping to find a girl in uniform. While in the service, depending on what you do, you won't have time for a relationship outside of the service.....yet at this time. I applaud your courage in joining, and hope more americans would follow our example!!!!

Why do you want to go into the air force?

Going away to war is a decision that you really need to sit down by yourself and think about!!!!!! I am VERY much serious. There is a 50% chance that you can get KILLED. I wouldn't want anyone that I love going in. Would You??? If you make it bake that is very good to have under your belt. But you need to think about WHY would you want to go and do that. Especially right about now. I don't even know you and to tell you the truth, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO! So think about it some more PLEASE!

You've been with him for 3 years - which is a pretty long time. Have you talked to him about it and found out why he doesn't want you to go? If he doesn't want you to go and you go anyway you may end up losing the relationship - you need to think about if you are prepared to lose it for the airforce.

Ask yourself this question. If you were single would you join the air force? If you were to decide this without taking his feelings into consideration what would you do? Now take his feelings into consideration are you willing to risk losing him if you do join? Weigh your options and make the choice that will make you happy. Never give up your dreams for someone else because they may give you up later to fulfill their dreams.

If he loves you, he will support you in your dissicion. Hey once you get in, if you decided to get married he could come live with you and travel the world with you! What a bonus!! LOL
I think he will stick by you if he wants to stay with you but If I were you I would go. The armed forces can really take you places, my sister in law just joined the marines. She hates it there but she will be proud of her self when she gets out!
