Hi Again. I really appreciate everyone's response on the Marine Corps post I had earlier, but my issue now is that I feel i'm "jumping in" too quickly with the military. First I was at the Air National Guard, then the Marine Corps, and now I'm heavily considering just Full time Airforce.

I realized too many people were influencing me to do what they wanted me to do, instead of what I want. So now I want to look into the Airforce. Also, I have a g/f and we are coming up with questions for recruiters as to whats important to the "us" instead of just "me" because we want to get married.

If anyone has comments (positive and negative) for the airforce, PLEASE leave them. My brain hurts so much from getting EVERYONES opinion on the different servies so I want the Airforce to be the one I AM going to do. I want to Security Forces but if not I DO have 3 other MOS jobs that I would LOVE to do. Again, any advice or opinions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

Here is advice from an army brat of all 18 years. The military is a VERY difficult environment for a family. It has been my experience that it puts a very large strain on families, especially the spouse.

However, I am also of the opinion that negative reinforcement can improve a person just as much as positive. In the long run, I have found that army brats tend to be people of higher intelligence, generally more amiable, and lack any kind of racism, or similar issues.

As for jumping in, I'm struggling with the same problem.. let me know if you find good answers
