You wanna join the AF to work on this...

A&M Boy · 10-09-2009, 09:54 AM

figured I would just resurrect an old thread.

I've got about a year to a year and half left of college. I am engineering major. I finally finished up my private pilot license this past summer. I work at our local airport parking and fueling planes including military. I feel like I have had so many opportunities and I should give back. Plus I am already paying taxes on these machines why can't i be the one having the fun.I am wondering if there is anyone with some pointers on getting a pilot slot.

I've talked with a local pilot who is also an a-10 pilot in the guard about joining however since I didnt go through an rotc program or the academy he suggested I should enlist serve under the wing for a couple of years to build up a reputation till a slot opened. Basically I dont want to sign up only to get shafted into a desk job.

Didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if this has been said.

I'd try to join the AF. Try to get a job in communications. 3c0x1 is a good field, 3c0x1.net is a good site to read about the job. Get a secret clearance and get out in four years with a contractor job.

Thats what I did, it worked out pretty good. Four years of bullshit and getting moved around, and now life is pretty calm.

I joined for the money and the benefits...turns out I actually enjoy it...Like someone else said, get a job you're going to enjoy, not just something that pays well later...I run heavy equipment, and its fucking awesome.

i would go to the military if i didint have a good job by the time youre like 24 and youre making good money and youre friends are in collage or working some 8$ per hour job i think the military gives you a head start in life

wierd, if you have the degree, and are willing to move anywhere the military sends you, how about just moving to a small town somewhere and be 'the' guy to go see for with electrical problems.

Start your own business and get the tax benefits.
