I am now in the United States Air Force

Congrats my Air Force brother.  Did you get the job you wanted or are you still "open"?

Outside of basic training, I never saw an Air Force Chow Hall that didn't have an awesome salad bar.  I think it's all the Filipino and Korean dependents that work in the cafeterias.  Those ladies can't speak very good English, but they can prepare a hell of a meal.

Did you know that when Airmen are stationed at Army and Navy Bases that the USAF gives them extra money so the Airman can avoid the substandard Chow Halls those branches have?  I believe every enlisted man has their own dorm room too.  I know that was their goal, not 100% sure they've reached it at every base yet.  The Air Force has a much higher quality of living when compared to the other branches.  The fact that we very rarely get shot at helps a lot too.

They spend a lot more (on average) training us, they're just trying to protect their investment.

It's always been against the law.




Of course they traditionally looked the other way unless there becomes a problem with a specific local place or area.  There were sections of Biloxi they told us not to go to when I was in tech school (summer '94).  Of course that was the.....third place we went first time we got our hands on a car.  If I remember correctly there were two Vietnamese "massage" parlors and a tattoo place on the same block. :rolleyes: We use to be able to drink in uniform too, now you can't even smoke in your uniform.  The military isn't the nutty place it was in the 70s and 80s.  Today's armed forces are amazingly straight edge.


....except for the racism and gangs in the Army.

Good luck.  I'd be interested if I wasn't so deathly afraid of heights. 

What would that have to do with anything?

Start running (if you haven't already).
