Senior Cadet, The Citadel. Possibly AF, I want to, but if the money's there, I'll go civilian. I'd like for one of you Moto-AF guys to tell me what life is like in the AF, and I'll probably take a comission. I've always wanted to be an officer, and work for the greatest AF on earth. I've got about 3 more weeks to decide.

My dad is retired AF and is a guard member now, an he says life was the best!

He recently did a stint in Afghanistan, and he's an E6 and was staying in better quarters than some majors in the Army he said.

Three years as 11-M in the Army, 1988-1991. Got to E-5, served in Desert Storm. Four more years as a reserve Drill Instructor at the rank of E-6 afterward. There's nothing like taking 26 tons airborne at 70 MPH!

My dad and 5 of his brothers were in the Army. His other brother who is my age, was a career Marine. I was enlisted (E5)in the Army (Vietnam). My son was in the Navy 11 years(pilot), and is still in the reserves.

God Bless America!
