Joined the Air Force Reserves

[Uriel]

Like the title says, I joined up in January. I'm leaving on the 28th of this month and will be gone for 7 1/2 months for training, however I get to return home after....unless I get deployed.

Basic training will most likely suck, but tech school which follows afterward won't be as bad because I get a lot of my freedoms back (computer, cell phone, communication privileges, etc)

So if I don't post for 3 months, you'll know why.

Even though I don't post that much anymore.

Kewl :thumbs:

Are you gonna play homoerotic beach volleyball?

 

[Solaris]

How much does it pay, whats the difference between reserve and full service?

 

[MJ12]

My friend started her training a few months ago actually. She said one of the first things she has to do is go on some island and basically learn how to survive?

 

[Omnomnick]

What Eejit said.

Anyway, have fun.

 

[Dog--]

Didn't you do this before?

I don't know what reference you're talking about, but yes, yes I am.

The pay is the same when I'm training or deployed, but after I come home, I'm paid for the 1 weekend a month with a lot of the same benefits of being apart of the military but I will need a regular civilian job too.

Fixed. Keep your head down, we'll see you when you get back.

 

[Raziaar]

Be careful dude. And don't talk like that you bastard. If you get yourself killed, I will ****ing kill you!

 

[The Monkey]

Why the **** would you do that?

Air Force was a smart choice.
You most likely will not be seeing combat but you'll learn a lot.

I signed up for the Army. Yes, I am 14. Going to be an interesting experience.

Gonna be a regular Abe Simpson huh?

If I could be any character from the Simpsons that isn't Patty or Selma, my life would be complete.

Oddly, I feel like a weenie. Everyone has a role in combat, but with my "career field" will be working on F-16 jets. It's cool, but if I got deployed, I'd feel bad for not fighting with other people. But at the same time I'm grateful for that.

It's like a game of TF2, and I'm the engineer building teleporters next to the spawn. Maybe a spy will come and I'll use the wrench for a beat down.

pretty sure jesus frowns at killing (even by proxy) in wars of conquest/imperialism/money making schemes

Best of success mate in this. My bro-in-law is in Turkey right now. He's in the Air Force too. Nice thing about the Air Force is that it's pretty safe compared to other branches.
