    Listen to my story...

    This may be our last chance.

    Just kidding. What this topic really is about-

    Recently, I made a big life decision. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time now, but never told anyone. I'm enlisting in the US Airforce. I plan on joining at the end of October. I just looked at my life and where I am right now. I could be flipping burgers, struggling to get by, or I could be in one of the most important military forces, traveling the world, making good money, protecting lives, and serving my country. Not to berate people
    who work in fast food joints, I'm just talking about myself and my own potential.

    I just want to do something important; something others will remember me by. I want to do something to make myself proud, and others too. It will give me the confidence I've always wanted in life. Everyone I ever read about who went into the Airforce said it was the best decision they ever made. Nobody in my family or extended family ever went into the military, and only a few of them ever even went to college, so I'm gonna be a first.

    I always originally planned on doing something in art as a career, but right now, I cannot do that. I'm too inexperienced, and don't have enough talent yet to get a real job doing art. Maybe when I get out of the USAF I can pick back up my art, but for now, it's just a hobby.

    I really don't know what profession I want to be when I go into the Airforce. Maybe something with computers? I also would maybe want to be the person who is in charge of arranging the cargo in planes, or people in charge of having the airplane runway cleared. I'm still looking into a lot of information, so only time will tell.

    Wish me luck on this endeavor friends. I'm more excited than I am nervous. I just need a month or so to get into healthy shape and study for the ASVAB

    They feed you this information and you believe it. I for one won't remember you for being in the airforce.

    But whatever floats your boat.

      money is the only reason I still consider joining the air force.

          MFing rep'd that.

          I wanted to say this to Biggie when he made his similar topic.

          You want to do something with yourself? You want to make us proud? Joining the Army/Airforce/whatever isn't going to do it. That's easy. Any fool can do it, and they do. They do.

          If you want to actually do something with yourself, do so, work towards your dream.

          I'd be proud of you if you went to college, or just educated yourself somehow. If you started your own business. Hell, at this point, pretty much anything but recruitment would make me damn near ecstatic.

            Good luck and I hope you do well. The military isn't for me, but clearly you have thought it over and have decided the Air Force is right for you. I hope you are right.

              Yeahhhh I'm not really one to equate enlisting to doing something great with your life, but if it's the only way you have out of your socioeconomic situation, I don't begrudge you.

                    I think the reason most people look up to military positions is because you are doing a service that many people are too afraid or lazy to get into.

                      Is that service killing innocent people?

                      Last I checked, our borders are not being attacked, and we aren't being bombed.

                      Just become a cop. Gawd knows we have precious few decent police. And you can be super lazy. And, unless you live in a giant town, no danger involved!

                            I don't want to make you guys proud of me. I'm just talking about my family.
