Im thinking of joining the airforce. I know a bunch of ppl that are in the airforce and it seems like its something i need in my life. I kept trying to find reasons not to join because i have two kids, i dont want to get stuck in the same routine everyday; i dont want blah blah blah. And then i realized that the air force actually spunds like its the answer to my problems. I do the same thing everyday either way. Lol. At least this way i can get a career rather than a shitty dead end job that i hate and cant get anywhere with. I just literally kniw nothing about the air force. Ive been watching video after video about it and still dont really know what its all about. Do u know of a websote or something I can look up that has more info and will give me kind of a play by play of what to expect? Thank u.
@michellet84386 жыл бұрын
Sarah Stevens I went to goang.com it’s the Air National Guard website. I also watched a ton of KZbin videos of Air Force Jobs, basic training, tech school, etc to get more info. I decided to join because I don’t like to sit around and I get bored easily and wanted a new adventure. The thing I like about the guard is it’s part time so you can still spend time with your family and don’t necessarily have to move for your job. Also, I talked to a recruiter for about a year before I joined. They can really help you with questions you have about anything. Hope this helps!
