LostProphet Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Since I decided to join the Air Force (haha, you mods thought you throw down the gavel on a welcome back thread, didn't you??). Anyhow, I am finally in. I swore into the Air Force Reserve at 12:30 CST yesterday, and am officially a member of the US Armed Forces. [URL=http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/afjobs/bl2a6x6.htm]Click Here[/URL] for a description of what I'm doing....I'm in for 4 years, so theres no bonus, which blows. Thanks everyone for your support in what I'm doing! A1C LP
Pressure Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 [color=purple][size=1]Congratulations. Once I graduate highschool, my goal is to join the Air Force. Though I must ask, since you are the one already sworn in, what is the exam like? I've heard it's horrible, the hardest of all the military branch's exams. I was advised to take a bunch of Honors and AP classes to prepare myself for the "big test". Is it really as bad as it's hyped up to be?[/size][/color]
LostProphet Posted April 17, 2003 Author Posted April 17, 2003 Its not hard...figuring it's the same throughout the branches and Marines pass it all the time. Just pick up an ASVAB book at Barnes and Noble or even the library. Now, if your going Interpreter or Medical....you'll need to take a specialty test for those jobs. If its medical, study hard. If it's interpretor, go into soemthing you already have a general idea as to what you're speaking, b/c it's ompossible to learn a language fluently in a short period, and thats what you need. Overall, the entrance exam is easy...if you study. I studied for the ASVAB for 3 weeks, and blew it away.
Lady Macaiodh Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 [color=darkblue]Congratulations, I'm really proud of you. I never would do that myself! You know, the whole "taking orders" thing... I'd probably get court-marshalled the first month.[/color]
Wintermute Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 It always used to be my dream, so good luck to you. I hope you enjoy it.
Justin Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Congratulations, that's excellent! I really admire people who volunteer for positions in any branch of the military. May God be with you. -Justin
Corey Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Congrats. If I were to suddenly feel the need to serve my country I'd go into the Air Force.

LostProphet Posted April 21, 2003 Author Posted April 21, 2003 Yeah.....I'll wipe your a-s-s from the earth if you need it. J/k, Marines are tough muddafuggers, so I dont mean to dis. But they arent the smartest people in the world......
Vegitto4 Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Actually, they upgraded their entry education limit. It used to be GED, now you need to graduate high school. I know it's not much, but hey, some high schools are hard to get out of.
Ryan Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 [font=Kabel Bk BT] Congrats! It takes someone with heart and courage to go into any branch of the military. :)[/font]
