cannot blame you one bit and definitely get your point. Get after it then. time is wasting.
Make sure you can get a shot at flying though. As was mentioned earlier, I don't think it will be near as enjoyable if all you are doing is fueling the planes or staring at a radar screen in some place like Thule, Greenland.

The officer ranks in the military is pretty awesome. You will have it really good. I would do it if I were you

sorry man, just sharing what my father told me about his AF experience.

Besides the pilots (and refueling apparently) what do the other guys actually do?

I was at West Point earlier this summer as a medic. Their cadet basic training was easier. If I remember right I had a new cadet complain to me with sweat in his eyes while the cadets were zeroing their m16s.!that was a sad day for me.

Well, there's always finance. They could use a frick ton of help over there.

you could always do EOD! That seems like an interesting gig.

My cousin does that actually. I'm fairly certain he has a death wish though.

I know someone who was a jock, did community service, 4.0 and top scores on standardized tests.
Still needed to know someone to tug on strings to gain entry to WP.

Go for it. Joining the AF has all the benefits of being in the military without actually having to do shite.
