I dont know, but the Air Force is the easiest branch of the service to join/make it in . Maybe they can teach you to spell correctly as well. (it's "through" , not "threw"..)
BTW, Both Prez Bush's were in the Air ,I think. Kinda figures, doesn't it?

Yes, you can get a degree in electronics from the Air Force, but let me tell you a little something about my experiences with people from the service with "military experience"......they don't know ****. Most of the technology you learn in the service is archaic.
Don't get me wrong, you can get places with the "military experience", but that's because most companies are naive to what's actually learned there and businesses will kiss your *** if you come from the military thinking you are cutting edge. That's a pharse. The military contracts out all of their R & D. It's not like the people are smarter because it's government funded. The military industry is just more bloated and overpaid.

On the one hand, yes - the Air Force has a number of ways to coordinate service and education. On the other hand, if you send a writing sample with 9 capitalization, 3 spelling and 2 punctuation errors, you're not likely to get into a good college or the Air Force.

yes you can, when you enlist in the air force youre automatically enrolled in the community college of the air force. you can also take classes while your enlisted and the air force will pay for them. you just have to go to your base and go to talk to someone at the education office. as long as you have plenty of time to study and take classes, you can. and if you sign up for the Mongomery GI Bill you can have money towards your education when and if you decide to get out! Have a good Air Force Day!

yes... and no. First, if you qualify for the Academy, you can get your degree in just about any field. If you go enlisted, you can get the education, then use the school funds you get with the military to finish the degree plan in an accredited school.

Most of the tech educations for the enlisted in the AF are the equivalent of an AA degree.
If you want a bachelors, you need to get accepted at the academy in Colorado Springs.

No. But you can go to the AF College office and find a university that will give you credit for your AF training to apply towards a civilian degree. There are military friendly universities that will give you credit for boot camp and any other schooling or training you have. Look into it.
