Im 18, in college and i plan on joining the Air Force once i get my college degree. Its kind of early but i like to plan ahead and know what im getting myself into. I had originally planned to join the Marines but after talking to a few people who are serving in the USMC, i realized it isnt for me. The AF is more my thing. There are things that the AF website doesnt go into detail about and such. Anybody has some advice or things that i should be prepared for?
Thanks in advanced!

If you are planning on going in already, why not go ROTC. It helps pay for your school, breaks down your intial training, and you will go in as a Officer with time in grade?
BTY Thanks for doing your part.

ok, so heres the deal. With an MPA you may bypass by OTS (officer education college) and be commisioned as a 2d LT. o-a million. As an officer you will gets a commission extra and characteristic extra common jobs. To be trouble-free, except you're a pilot, or extremely extremely sturdy, you will not get lots previous Lt. Colonel. The AF is quite sturdy approximately persevering with training, even inspite of the shown fact that it demands extra dedication (2 years college for 3 years provider). in case you want to fly, you will desire to have a private pilot license first. i comprehend it somewhat is a lot of information to take up, yet this may well be an excellent determination. Take it sluggish, and in case you have questions, be at liberty to digital mail me! **EDIT** As a reaction to those who say you may not get a doctorate, that's unfaithful. i'm presently a cadet on the USAF Academy, and that they say that if I do nicely sufficient, they are going to deliver me to get an MD or PHD. whilst it can not be as difficulty-free to do popping out of OTS, it might nevertheless be attainable. (my uncle did it) The AF needs docs. So provide it a try!
