My Son has Joined the Air Force

Never been in the military but have been around it enough to know what goes on, my brother is a Marine my dad was in the Army & my best friend is in the Air Force and did her training at Lackland in San Antonio. Good for him for deciding to serve his country and family! ;D

Congrats! Good luck to your sun! Air Force has a lot of perks that go along with it, especially college money!


I wasn't in the military, but I went to military school for 4 years, And i've also almost joined the marines a couple o' times now. I just haven't grew the stones to sign those papers :-\


If i dont get into law enforcement then its the Marines for me

well thank you and your son for making that commitment. I am sure he will excel and do very well.

let him know we all support him and hope he is safe and strong

Congrats I guess, I also scored extremly high on the exam and was offered Nuclear propusion school which I turned down because I would be living on a submarine under a polar cap for months at a time, I did however go to avionics school for 7 months. One thing I can tell you about the Mil is no matter what you learned or joined for, as soon as you get to your first command, expect to clean toilets and mop floors and other crappy stuf for at least a year if not more and then restart your respect count evert 3 years when tou transfer.

7 years in the Navy. 1986-1993
