  • In this video I explain why you should avoid these 4 mistakes when joining the Air Force or the military. When we're young and it's our first time out of our parents house, we tend to go a little wild when we first join the Air Force. I want to help y'all avoid these common mistakes I see for new Airmen when they join the Air Force. Hopefully this will help those who don't like learning the hard way.

      That’s actually wrong. The Air Force will treat you as the gender on your birth certificate. If you transitioned and your birth certificate now has the opposite sex, that is how you will enter the Air Force. You will do all things required of that sex during the duration of your service.

    I joined, I was married, with 2 little girls, and a baby boy on the way.
    It was the best thing I ever did. I went Direct Duty from BMT, No tech school because I already completed college courses in my assigned job.
    Started (On-the-job-training) OJT, and correspondence courses to get my 3 and 5 level.
    They put us in a big house on base. All was good. Got a loan for a cheap car, didn't really need one living on base. Pay was tight, Airman Basic pay $376 dollars per month for the first 6 months. Basically the only bills we had were a $30 / mo. car payment and groceries. That's when you could get a full cart of groceries for $25. Everything else they provided. I rode my bike back and forth to work.
    Went from working as a civilian making $3 per hour in a crap production facility to working on advance nuclear weapons systems, supersonic aircraft, missiles, and everything that supported the mission.

    My older daughter just got to her first assigned base. She had a brand new 2020 Civic before she joined AF. Then we sold it for more than what she got it in 2020. And we got her a brand new Toyota Cross. Parents can do it for them. Be sure to let them know, there’s better deal out there if you don’t rush things. Besides, this days, buying brand new car is better deal than getting a used car.

      Oh plus, you get better rate when it’s brand new and you also get more rate discount if you do automatic payment. Shop around, pick dealers that are military friendly who give additional discount for active duty personnel. Also make sure they don’t charge you extra in the packages that you don’t need. And make sure there’s also no markups.

      A lot of this video is about tech school (aka AIT) too and keep in mind that just like in the air force in general, trainees in tech school get somewhat more freedom than army trainees do.
      I've seen it where a thirty something year old man is not allowed to go to the bathroom by himself because he's initial entry army, but a 19 year old initial entry air force is treated with more maturity because he's air force instead of army.
      So I guess that's more rope for air force to hang themselves with?
      So you think.it might be safer to join the army so you can be more restricted and treated more like a little kid, which would prevent you from making these mistakes in the first place, especially in AIT after basic?

      @@guccigranny7386 I was being a little sarcastic about being "safer" to join army but it's most definitely true that both in initial entry training (basic and ait/tech school) and operational, lower enlisted army soldiers, even those who joined at later ages like their late twenties or even thirties, are not only treated "rougher" but also treated more like little children compared to lower enlisted people in the air force, even those air force people who joined as teenagers out of high school.
      the army likes to think that everyone in the army, regardless of their mos, is infantry and you can't spell "infantry" without the word "infant'
      For example, nevermind the fact that the army's pt test is more difficult (the most difficult behind the marines'), soldiers in most cases , unless they have a really specific mos and or unit, can't be trusted to do pt on their own, they have to do mandatory morning organized group PT regardless of how well they pass their PT tests, whereas so many people in the air force either do PT less often or are actually trusted to do PT on their own altogether.
      Or soldiers have to do early morning formations where they stand and stand and stand in the cold for however long for "accountability" a few hours before they report to duty, whereas air force only does this with initial entry trainees in tech school and once operational, airmen do accountability when they actually report for duty.

      I have been in the same boat for a while now. I have been talking to actual people who are in currently and have been reading so much from people who served or are serving. It seems the people who enjoy it more than they hate it put their head down and work hard and are ambitious and WANT IT and are using their time in wisely (towards a degree or some sort of job in the civilian sector or to further their rank and make a career of the whole thing). They mostly have a good time and enjoy what they do and embrace "the suck" together. This is the term I've been hearing. Compared to someone online who will find any reason to complain and probably weren't happy before they joined in the first place. This is the same for any sort of "review" or even in high school when people would tell me how terrible Mr. whoever was and then I'd get to class and he was perfectly fine, yeah there were parts of the class that sucked but it was completely manageable and the people complaining about it were exaggerating it to a ridiculous degree.

I can say the air force has a zero tolerance policy on bullying and harassment, and they enforce it pretty good, but there’s always bad apples, as within any organization or job.

    I served 4 years from 83-87. My focus was on me, get fit, stay focused, learn a career. I love the women just as much as anyone but listen to Jody, focus on you. Don't get involved with romance, your junk won't fall off. I must say we did go down town one weekend to the Steak and Egg, or we called it the Steak and leg. There were "local gals" looking for dates if you know what I mean. I will say you can only fish, drink and do so much . After 4 years the AF was lonely for me, married men have it easier. The AF was good for me, keep your chit together and focus on being a better person.

    Awesome awesome advice. 20+ years active duty taught me all that but one lesson that I wish I had learned early is the difference between a first termer and career airman and how that affects cross training. I loved the Air Force but hated my job. Didn't think about cross training until after I reenlisted the first time and by then the opportunities are few and far between. You had to be in an overage to be let out of your AFSC and that NEVER happened. So if someone goes in and isn't happy with their job, address it during the first term. Keep up the great work.

    When I first entered the AF, there were more 20 year Staff Sergeants (E-5) and 23 to 25 year Techs (E-6) than you could imagine. I actually thought it took 12 to 15 years to make SSgt. The truth is there were serious freezes during the 50s and early 60s. Viet Nam opened up the door somewhat then WAPS showed up. Anyone with a 7 or 8 in their APR records was doomed. Anyone who could not take a test (a lot of guys) was stuck. When the 5 system with endorsements topped at the Wing CC, people were told that a "4" was promotable. Just like the officers were told that a "promote was promotable (if you had lots of general endorsements before that yes). In short the AF lies their butt off.

    As a former Senior NCO, First Sergent, here's the dope. He's right in every aspect. Here's a few more things. Save your damn money. Being frugal is a good thing. Don't get a Star Card, and don't buy a car right away. Too many airmen got themselves into debt and couldn't get themselves out of debt. They didn't listen to me. A guy who made 200 dollars every two weeks and ended up retiring wealthy. It can happen. Of course, my job 1A0X1 took me all over and I was deployed from the start of OIF/OEF to near the end. Lastly, have a plan. Meaning, study your CDC's and strive for a 100 on the test. You can do it.

      You’ll want to get to about 197 lbs if I’m being honest. That’s means you’re going to have do some work to qualify. Which also means your going to need a strong reason why you want to join. That way when you feel like giving up because you have to lose 10 lbs, that strong “why” will keep you going. I hope that helps. Good luck.
