General - Air Force - View Post

If you are going to join the military, the Air Force is the one to join. Just know that basic training is probably going to be the hardest thing you do in your life. You're going to be yelled at, deprived of sleep, not allowed to communicate with your family, etc. You will feel like you've gone to hell. I cannot stress to you how much you will regret your decision.

Somewhere near the end of your BMT, you'll realize that you've changed. You'll have a different set of values, a new level of confidence, and an almost instant bond with people that have been through what you've been through. It's a good decision but you'll question it for a while. From basic training, your life could move in a million different directions. Your ASVAB score will be key in determining if you're the guy in the tower running air-traffic control or if you're the guy jumping out of planes in hostile environments (Combat control/ Para rescue). And you will have signed a contract. Once you're there, there is almost no turning back.

Be sure it's what you want before you commit. I think it's a good choice but you have to live that life. You have to go through it, not me.
