Does PTSD always come with it? That's just one thing that holds me back from joining

[@Migwelp]

@@celestialblue2146 Studies on PTSD rates for those in the air force have gauged it at around 2.6%. I wouldn't worry about in a branch like the air force. Unless you're trying to be PJ and succeed in getting there, I doubt it'd be a consideration. With that said, everyone has different tolerances and you never know when we'll get launched into the next big war. I grew up watching degenerate liveleak-type gore, mainly out of morbid curiosity, so I doubt seeing it in person would leave me with any lasting trauma. Still, even I can't say that definitively. It comes down to knowing yourself, I suppose. Talk about what's bothering you, seek help, be an open book about all of it; honesty is the best policy.

[@Cynsham]

@@celestialblue2146 It doesn't ALWAYS come with it, but it also depends on what you plan on doing with your military career. If you're trying to be on the front lines of conflicts then I'm sure you would know that PTSD is a very real possibility, but every single person is different on what they are sensitive to and how they deal with difficult situations and stress. Best advice is if you ever feel like something is genuinely wrong in terms of mental health then talk to someone you trust about it. Far too many people have suffered with mental health conditions for years because they were too afraid to tell someone or try to get help.

[@GregSr]

Like Sam said he did, I enlisted in the Air Force because I wasn't sure about what I wanted to do in my life. After taking the written tests that gauge various aptitudes, my recruiter said my electronic and mechanical scores came in at the 95th percentile. He said I have a wide range of jobs I can choose from. Jobs like jet mechanic, radar repairman and so on. As the recruiter rattled off various jobs, nothing really jumped out at me. Then he said if I am willing to do the delayed enlistment program for three months, I can choose the job of "Flight Simulator Technician". I jumped on that. At the time, my uncle was a Captain for Continental flying DC-10's. He endorsed my decision 100%. He even brought me to Continental's training facility at LAX so I could see simulators in action. I did a four and a half year enlistment (including eight months of Tech School). I rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E5) in 3.5 years. Bottom line...I have no regrets. It was a great experience and I met a lot of nice people. My tour ran from 12/75 through 6/80.

As someone who looked into the military as a career back when I was in college, I would say Retirement was a powerful factor to weight into your consideration. A person could enter into the AF at a young age, then retire after 20 years with 50% of their base pay, then move into the civilian sector and retire from that careers with two sources of income to enjoy life with.

[@SamEckholm]

Adam Gray Very true! The retirement system changed in the last few years (moving to a 401K vs the traditional pension) but still definitely a topic for a separate video.

[@Viennamango]

I would have tied in SRB and a blanket statement covering the various special duty pays that also go into monthly/annual income. Speaking specifically on Special Warfare, depending on what your job is you can accrue a decent amount of money with your various qualifications. As an example, someone who is maxing out JTAC pay, it's tiered based on experience level, and is free-fall qualified will get roughly $700 extra a month. Add demolition pay to that and you're around $850 extra a month. TDY's are very common in a Special Warfare career field and as long as you're not eating steak dinners every night you can make money by staying under the daily meal allowance. Food for thought.

[@robineggblue-bp3rq]

It MAY be a good decision. But its not all roses. Basic training can be traumatizing for some people. But right now its hard for you to know just how it will affect you.

I have been in the Air Force 13.5 years and am a MSgt. My AFSC is 1N471A Fusion Analyst, Cyber Intelligence Analyst. That being said, if you are looking to join do it for the right reasons and don't let the recruiters sell you the car. In my opinion, since the retirement is basically a 401k these days, the education benefits are what people should join for. It does depend on how busy your job is in the Air Force but you can take quite a few classes a year without even tapping into your G.I. bill. You can even transfer your G.I bill benefits to a family member after certain time requirements are met. The military isn't for everyone and do your research before signing any contracts.

Thanks for this video. I’ve been really considering joining for some time but recently I’ve been getting pretty serious about it.

[@stevenlarkin1706]

I joined back in 1971. I was underweight, lacked confidence, scared of failure. Four years later I was unrecognizable. The experience made me strong. It is important to know that this was possible because I constantly worked at self improvement. The Airforce environment made this possible. If you join then give it your all and be the best version of yourself.

I am a U.S. Army vet with a son in law that is in the Air Force. I tease him all the time about the air force going to the field for some training but I can't get passed the idea of us sleeping wherever we can while the air force goes the local motel 6 for whatever they do. But when my grandson asked me for advice I had to advise to enlist in the Air Force like his Dad. But I'll never stop dogging them, either one of them.

[@jeremycarter]

Oh how I wish that I would have joined the Air Force. I just turned 40, so I missed the cutoff. I wish I would have joined right out of high school because that would have helped me with having a regiment in my life which would have been helpful, since I have ADD. And you are so right. Several weeks ago I looked at the AF website and saw all of the job possibilities and it just sickens me that I didn't look at the AF when I was in HS. I tested for the Marines and decided NOT to join the Marines. I absolutely LOVE aviation, so I'm confused as to why I didn't join. 😟

What did you end up doing instead? I'm sorry to hear that. I'm 23 and I always have thoughts of joining/not joining its ridiculous.

I'm about to start a new job working in a bridal boutique after working in food for the past 5 years but I'm honestly still not satisfied with where I'm at right now. 🙁 I have thought about other things too but AF is always at the back of my mind.

[@barbells_and_blammies]

Keep in mind: this video is one man's experience. If you want to have a direct impact on the mission, the Air Force probably isnt for you. Those over 200 jobs he mentioned are 95% support positions, so if you want to be the mission and not just support the mission, look to another branch. There is a distinct caste system in the Air Force where aircrew takes priority and is catered to above all other members, remember that when selecting your job. Overall, I feel that my time in the military would have been better spent pursuing my dreams in the civilian world. Your mileage may vary, a lot of your experience in the military will be dictated by your leadership, which is a very double-edged sword.

[@TitanSubZero15]

All these reasons are the same as the Army. My father is retired Air Force. He explained the pros and cons. I experienced Air Force as a dependent. I went Army and retired. I like the fact that I choose my job from the very beginning. I made more rank than my father. I have been stationed at Air Bases but glad I went Army. Travel is a bit different for each military branch depending on where you would like to live so if there's certain country or place you want to live. Do your research on places to live but ultimately choose where you live when you get out of the military. Any military branch is a good option pending what your likes and dislikes are.

I was in the Air Force 50 years ago and they taught me a trade, Rad Tech, that supported me the rest of my life. Being in the Air Force was like having an 8 hour job, no hassling you after you're done your shift. I worked in the hospital and saw many, many people from other services and they all said the same thing, "I should have joined the Air Force".

[@breygon1]

I am a Vietnam Era vet, who enlisted in the Air Force when I got my draft notification. I went in for four years and through a strange set of circumstances, wound up spending a little over nine years on Active duty (1973-1982). I spent three years in Germany in Tactical Comm unit, followed by a year on a mountaintop in Japan. I was able to walk out of the air force and immediately apply the training I received there in a decent paying job. (The Corporate Directory looked like a Who's Who of folks I had served with during my time in the AF.) I don't regret a moment of it and in hindsight, I wished I had stayed in.

I joined the Air Force in March. Went all the way through BMT, was so excited to have a career in the Air Force. About two weeks before graduation, they had found I had MILD anemia. So they sent me to med hold. I was there until the Thursday I was supposed to graduate. I got kicked out the same day I was supposed to graduate. My flight even marched past me while I waited on my pre-sep brief. If you guys decide to join, please make sure you're medically good to go by USAF standards. I thought I was good to go, but I didn't even know I had something that could risk my position in the air force. Don't make the mistake I did and lose all the passion and time invested just to get kicked out and getting nothing in return.

[@kurtb8474]

It's a different USAF today. I went in 40 years ago. The promise was there, but it didn't deliver for me. The times were different and I wasn't much older than this young man. What I got from it was more of a love for country than I already had. That's about it. The list of things that went against me is too long to mention here. The biggest reason I chose to get out was when my daughter was born. My shift commander took her sweet time letting me off to go to the hospital, even though I gave them advanced notice that the birth was going to happen. After my daughter was born, it was back to duty. Others in squadron got an immediate week of leave when their kids were born. I got nothing for 3 weeks. During that time my wife was recovering from the surgery and had to handle all of the feedings by herself. I was on duty so much I had no time to help out. And there are plenty of other reasons I opted to get out with an Honorable Discharge. Don't be fooled by promises of a rewarding career, even today. When you're in, you belong to them. Remember that.

Adrenaline 4 Life my parents want me to join and I’m going to see a recruiter tomorrow. I just graduated high school and I don’t wanna go to college yet because I don’t feel like doing college at home online, I’m just not sure what to expect with it. Is it really that bad?

[@adrenaline4life233]

sebastian it has tons of highs and lows. I’m also a crew chief so we get shafted a bit more than some other career fields, but it’s definitely rewarding too. Honestly the bad part is being new, once you start getting the hang of things and promote, it starts to get easier you’ll just have more responsibility. I just don’t see myself being able to stay longer even though I’m in a good spot because this isn’t the lifestyle for me. You have counterparts that make the same as you that work half as much, suck, and can’t get fired really. The Air Force also promotes based off a test, not job proficiency or performance. So I like being promoted because I’m a hard worker, where as the Air Force thinks it should give younger airman a chance to make Staff and Tech Sgt by letting them be good test takers. So we have 11-12 year Staff Sgts that can’t promote that are excellent at their job, but 6 year staff Sgts who are promoting quicker than the 11-12 year staffs with more experience. Look up the EPR system as well, it’s also a joke. Instead of getting evaluated by your boss every year, like you would in the civilian world, instead you have to tell you boss what you did all year, and put it on a paper that looks like chicken scratch with short handed wording and must be filled from one edge to the other. Long story short, there’s a lot of bull crap in the Air Force, the job I can handle and also enjoy spending time with the people, the Air Force side of things and how it is run, is what I hate. I could literally give you a huge list of negatives, but no matter what, the people have been the best part of it along the way

I personally definitely recommend getting an aircrew job in the Air Force. It has the best community within the AF, you get paid more for being a flyer, and you get to travel a lot more than other careers. A tip for anyone trying to join: look for any afsc that starts with 1AXX and when talking with a recruiter don’t let them push you into you don’t wanna do. I literally came to the recruiter and said hey let me know when any of these (1A1, 1A2, 1A3...1A9) open up when I was signing up and didn’t accept anything else and I promise it paid off.

[@Candide1776]

The Air Force is a great service, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in joining the military (enlisted or officer). It provides a hell of a lot of opportunities, and you definitely can make your own path, believe it or not. One thing I'm seeing with this new generation, however, (it may have been a problem in my own GenX, as well) is that none of the so-called reasons for joining seem to have much to do with patriotism, defending the nation, or being a part of our rich traditions of the U.S. military. While I understand it's important to ask about what you get in the deal, pay, great GI Bill benefits, medical, housing, decent vacation time, etc, it's also important to ask yourself if you're able to provide something to the military and the United States. I know the Air Force is good enough for you if you're reading this, but do you have what it takes? If your reasons are 100% self-focused (or even selfish), I'd say this isn't a clear answer. If, however, you're in it for the right reasons (with perks being a nice bonus), then you're likely to overcome any challenge and have a better attitude and a great career.

Sam that is so true, I spent 6 years in the Air Force from 1976 to 1982. First I was assigned to King Salmon Airport, Alaska. I had to process through Elmendorf AFB on the way. It so happens I was born at Elmendorf in 1957, 19 years earlier. There was no airman's club on the base at the time so we were allowed to go to the NCO club. I ran into a very awesome young woman there and we hit it off immediately to the point we both were thrown out of the club. I had to see the Wing Commander over this, that was Not a good visit, all I remember saying while at attention in front of his desk was "Yes Sir". Then in class walks another Colonel asking for me by name. I was terrified, like oh my God this is not over. He started walking through the base hospital where the class was held. We entered the maternity section, by this time the colonel had made sure the incident was in fact over. We stepped into this large room as the colonel asked me if I remembered the room. I said No Sir I don't. He stuck out his hand and shook mine properly introducing himself as Colonel Magee the same doctor that delivered me in that room 19 years ago, and said he was a captain at the time. I called my Mom telling her of the event. Fast Forward to Fairchild AFB my second assignment. We were a SAC base with a nuclear mission, B-52's and KC-135's on 15 minute ground alert. May 1980 Mt. St. Helens erupted and by 3 in the afternoon the sun was blocked by the massive ash cloud headed east over us. I'd say a few days or week later President Jimmy Carter was due to arrive at Fairchild to survey the volcano's damage via our rescue squadron. I was going to pull my assigned weapon, oh yea I was security police btw. I was going to pull my weapon from the armory when this huge guy orders me to pull my M-16 and my pistol both. I am 6'1" and this guy intimidated me. He was a part of the Secret Service detail. We drove to the control tower and went up stairs. He introduced me to the air traffic controllers, then turned to me "If anyone attempts to enter this door except me, shoot first, ask questions later, do you understand my order. Yes Sir. He came back after Air Force One had landed and placed me in the reception line for the president. I still had my weapons and ammunition but I am quite sure a sharp shooter had his rifle aimed at the back of my head should I have gone for my weapons. Of course they had investigated me and knew I was no harm to the president. I shook President Carter's hand and wondered how my luck was running so good. I was just an E-4 Sergeant at the time. There were a few officers Major and above that were not happy that they were not in line instead of me. One even asked the agent how I was able to keep my weapons, the agent shut him down, reminding him it was not in his pay grade to know those things! So, yes in the normal performance of my job I was able to stand in line for the President. In fact I was due to post, but the agent informed my flight chief he needed me for a detail!!! Would I do it all over again, Yes, completely Yes!!! In fact I am 63 and miss those days, I tear up when our flag is displayed and the anthem is played. If TAPS is played I cry like a baby. I love your approach to people about our U.S. Air Force. You put people at ease and thoroughly explain yourself. I can't wait to see you put on Captain!! Thank you for the videos!!!

When I first went in, I had a senior NCO con me into thinking I needed to stay where I was and not audition for the AF Academy in Colorado.

I was USAF 1976-81 and my #1 tip is to join with a "Guaranteed Job" and NOT "Open Enrollment". With "open enrollment" you can end up with a job you really do not like. Even with "Guaranteed Job" if you do not like your job, you can "cross train" into a different career once you're enlisted.

There’s a lot of things that might need to be noted. The full coverage health care is for the active duty member only.spouses and children get general health care but you need to pay extra for dental and optometry. And in some career fields may be able to use leave at any moment some like security forces or any career field that has critical manning. you will have to beat everyone to the punch on leave usually locking your leave in six months in advance. The leave can also be disapproved by your CC at any time for what ever reason. In these same career field that worry about manning its very difficult to cross train out I’ve seen people try for years at a time to cross train out and still never get it.

My Grandfather did 27½ years in the Air Force. I wish I could have joined the Air Force. I thought about it at the end of my high school career but backed out. I always kept doubting myself, and on top of that, my mom's health was on the decline. I was afraid she was gonna die while I was away (whether it be during Basic, or if I got deployed). Little did I realize that she would live longer than I expected until she passed away last year (just after my 30th birthday). I'm 31 and looking back, I wish I could have joined, but I'm sure it is too late. Plus, the Air Force has super strict height/weight standards, and physical fitness requirements. I suck at running and I suck at swimming. Would have had a great life had I joined but I have no regrets sacrificing it to be with my mom until she died.

You can still join. I’m 26 and pushing 30 but if you really wanted to still get in, you could.

I really like your contents😊 thank you for sharing how great the Air Force is and reminding me that once again :)
