Joing the AF, been in for almost 5 years, been to iraq twice and afghan once. a great way of life. AF definitely takes good care of there people. Ive been able to go to school on a consistent basis. You have to put up with bull and thats with any branch. I'll be switching to the Army if i get accepted to OTS come this fall though

Well I wanted to ship out all 3 times but the first and second was by choice, after my tour from afghan in 2008, i wanted to take a break but was notified a couple months later that i had to go back to iraq. kinda sucks right then but im single with no kids and no commitments to the states so i just left.

I was in the Army.
It was ok. Made lots of life long friends and had a lot of wild experiences. If I could go back I wouldn't change a thing.
I also don't sleep well anymore, have temper control problems, and lots of aches and pains. I would not want to do it again.

Ask yourself what goals you want to reach by joining Armed Services. Then ask yourself why those goals are important to you. Then ask what value those important aspects offer you. Then realize that you need to enlist in the U.S. Marines.
Good luck, either way.

I plan on going to the military after residency, or during residency if I can get the specialty I want in there.

I really wanna go because it's a steady job for years. Right now I'm doing construction and might go to an apprenticeship program but the program is 4 years also, and I'm kind of getting tired of construction.So this was my next choice.I'm 20 years old no wife and kids so why not?

I'm in the Army currently deployed to Kuwait. I've been in for almost 2 years. It's a good experience and you get to travel the world and meet people from all walks of life. You also realize how good me have it in America compared to everybody else. Trust you won't take the small things for granted anymore. On the bad side though it takes you away from your fam. But the best best is to take advantage of all of the benefits that you get. When you get out you can the GI Bill which will cover your living expenses when you go to college. And some states pay for most of veterans tuition. The military is what you make of it some hate it and some love it.

yo son Kuwait is not a "deployment".....you go through there for RNR or when you going home...it's a GREEN ZONE....SMH @ pogs drinking coffee and getting fat while we bust our $*# on the front lines with nothing...but i wouldn't ever change it..i've met great guys being in the army...knowing they would die for you and that you would die for them...nobody can be closer than that...
