About 'how do you become an officer in the air force'|... complicit in it. It’s time...complicity and become revolutionaries. The earth is...well aware that an earth ...that fact and do what we have...I’m sure you’re ...








I               always               get               asked,               "What               is               it               really               like               being               in               the               military?"               Things               have               changed               in               the               military               since               I               was               on               active               duty               in               the               United               States               Air               Force.

For               one               thing,               we               are               at               war;               it               is               a               different               kind               of               war               when               innocent               civilians               and               service               members               are               targeted               by               terrorists               to               be               publicly               tortured               and/or               killed.

I               cannot               imagine               the               fear               of               this               experience               or               of               any               service               member               who               serves               on               the               front               lines.

I               pray               for               all               of               you               who               serve               in               a               military               or               civilian               capacity               during               this               wartime               era.

I               am               a               woman               and               enlisted               into               a               non-combat               field,               so               my               article               will               focus               more               on               the               fears               and               rewards               of               how               joining               the               military               changed               my               life.
               I               enlisted               in               January               of               1975               and               I               was               off               to               basic               training               in               June               of               1975.

There               are               some               things               about               being               in               the               military               that               never               change.

I               attended               my               daughter's               graduation               from               Air               Force               basic               training               almost               20               years               to               the               day               after               I               did.

It               was               astonishing               that               it               seemed               as               if               nothing               about               Lackland               Air               Force               Base               or               the               graduation               ceremony               had               changed               over               20               years.
               She               even               got               the               same               one-day               town               pass               to               visit               the               Riverwalk               in               San               Antonio,               went               to               the               same               church               ceremonies               on               Sunday,               and               went               through               the               same               6-week               training               program               that               I               did.

Did               she               feel               the               same               fears               and               rewards               that               I               did?

I               think               everyone               does.
               The               Rewards               of               Serving               in               the               Military
               Aside               from               the               great               honor               you               feel               for               having               served               your               country,               the               military               is               great               for               young               people               just               getting               out               of               high               school,               who               need               a               little               time               to               decide               what               to               do               with               the               rest               of               their               lives.

Many               young               people               are               not               ready               for               college,               and               they               haven't               yet               developed               the               self-discipline               to               succeed               in               college.

The               military               provides               medical,               dental,               and               vision               benefits,               a               paycheck,               free               room               and               board,               and               training               in               a               career               field               while               you               decide               what               you               want               to               do.
               For               those               people               who               decide               they               want               to               make               the               military               a               career,               you               can               retire               after               20               years               with               a               monthly               income               for               the               rest               of               your               life.

If               you               are               young               enough,               you               can               get               a               second               career               for               the               next               20               years               and               retire               with               2               pensions               at               around               age               60.

People               that               have               carried               out               this               plan,               are               living               very               comfortable               life               styles               now               and               enjoying               retirement               to               its               fullest.
               If               you               choose               to               receive               an               Honorable               Discharge,               you               will               enjoy               many               education               benefits               including               the               G.I.

Bill.

Most               states               also               pay               for               post-graduate               degree               programs               for               veterans               living               in               that               state               at               the               time               of               enlistment.

I               received               my               Bachelor's               Degree               for               free               with               my               G.I.

Bill               and               my               Master's               Degree               for               free               with               the               Hazelwood               Grant               for               Texas               Veterans.
               You               also               receive               Veterans               benefits               for               buying               a               house               regardless               of               whether               you               make               the               military               a               career.

I               bought               4               homes               using               VA               loans,               with               no               down               payments,               and               low               interest               rates.

Having               VA               home               loan               benefits               can               mean               the               difference               of               being               able               to               afford               to               buy               a               house               or               having               to               rent               for               a               long               time.

It               is               very               difficult               in               these               times               to               save               up               10               to               15               percent               down               payment               on               a               home.
               One's               patriotism               for               our               fighting               soldiers,               our               freedom,               our               flag,               and               all               things               America               grows               stronger               after               serving               in               the               military.

I               still               salute               the               Thunderbirds               and               the               Blue               Angels               as               they               fly               over               during               air               shows.

I               watch               news               of               our               aircraft               carriers               and               their               missions,               hoping               for               their               safe               return               to               homeland               soil.

I               pray               for               those               who               give               their               lives               and               risk               their               lives               to               fight               for               our               freedom               and               safety.
               I               honor               those               who               died               for               our               country,               I               honor               the               flag,               our               National               anthem,               and               our               Nation's               capitol               and               its               monuments.

I               treasure               my               freedom               and               my               rights               given               to               me               by               the               constitution.

I               cry               when               I               hear               God               Bless               America               or               God               Bless               the               USA,               as               if               there               is               no               greater               place               on               earth               to               have               been               born.

These               are               perhaps               the               greatest               rewards               of               all               from               serving               in               the               military.
               The               Fears               of               Enlisting               in               the               Military
               Signing               the               Papers               at               the               Recruiting               Office               
               I               joined               the               military               for               two               basic               reasons:               to               get               out               of               El               Paso               after               high               school               and               get               paid               for               that,               and               to               get               a               college               education               since               my               parents               couldn't               afford               to               send               6               kids               through               college.

My               daughter               joined               because               she               wasn't               ready               to               go               to               college               yet               and               her               partying               lifestyle               was               heading               her               down               the               wrong               path.

Whatever               the               reason               is               that               you               might               contemplate               joining               the               military               is               O.K.

with               the               recruiters.

They               will               make               the               future               of               your               military               career               fit               any               need               you               have               or               want.
               Before               you               decide               what               career               field               to               enter,               you               must               take               the               ASVAB               test               to               see               what               your               aptitude               is               for               learning               new               information.

This               was               fairly               frightening               for               me               since               the               test               is               about               four               hours               long               and               it               measures               aptitude,               not               basic               skills               or               grade               level               competencies               like               you               had               in               school.

The               good               thing               about               aptitude               tests               is               that               there               are               some               careers               you               are               just               not               meant               to               do               and               the               test               will               tell               you               that.

For               example,               I               completely               failed               the               Mechanical               Reasoning               portion               of               the               ASVAB.
               That               meant               I               could               not               get               into               any               military               fields               where               I               would               have               to               fix               airplanes,               fix               communications               equipment,               or               anything               having               to               do               with               mechanics               -               FINE               BY               ME!

It               may               be               disappointing               if               you               want               to               be               a               pilot               and               fail               the               Spatial               Reasoning               portion               of               the               ASVAB.

However,               once               you               and               your               recruiter               decide               what               career               is               best               for               you,               signing               the               papers               is               a               piece               of               cake               -               you               feel               a               sense               of               accomplishment               and               excitement               to               begin               your               new               life.
               Swearing               In               
               Your               commitment               to               the               military               is               not               actually               a               "legally               binding"               commitment               until               military               officers               officially               swear               you               in.

When               you               get               sworn               in               depends               on               when               the               have               you               scheduled               for               the               next               basic               training               class.

I               didn't               get               sworn               in               for               a               couple               months               after               I               signed               the               recruiting               papers.

This               gave               me               a               lot               of               time               to               wonder               if               I               was               doing               the               right               thing,               whether               I               should               just               go               get               a               regular               job,               wondering               what               the               military               was               really               going               to               be               like,               and               wondering               where               in               the               world               I               would               get               stationed               permanently.

I               am               adventurous               by               nature,               so               my               fears               about               these               things               turned               to               more               excitement               as               the               time               got               closer.
               Physical               Exam               
               Just               before               you               are               ready               to               leave               for               basic               training,               you               must               pass               a               very               rigorous               physical               exam.

This               created               the               most               fear               for               me               of               anything               so               far               in               the               enlistment               process.

There               are               many               things               that               could               happen               during               the               physical               exam               that               can               change               all               your               dreams               and               excitement.

For               example,               I               failed               the               physical               because               I               got               cramps               during               my               menstrual               cycle.

I               did               get               to               appeal               after               I               went               to               a               regular               doctor               and               was               prescribed               birth               control               pills               to               minimize               the               cramps.

I               had               to               return               for               another               military               physical               and               swear               that               I               no               longer               experienced               cramps               during               my               period.
               My               daughter               wanted               to               be               a               pilot,               but               failed               her               eye               exam,               so               the               Air               Force               banned               her               from               entering               that               career               field.

At               the               time,               if               you               could               not               correct               your               vision               to               20/20               with               contact               lenses,               you               could               not               pass.

She               had               a               condition               where               contact               lenses               were               not               suitable               for               her               and               the               military               did               not               recognize               laser               or               LASIX               eye               surgery               as               an               alternative.

My               daughter               had               to               change               career               fields               and               became               really               disappointed.

She               ended               up               going               into               instrumentation               and               telemetry,               where               she               analyzed               data               from               test               missiles               and               aircraft.

That               was               very               exciting               for               her,               so               everything               worked               out.

The               good               thing               about               the               military               is               -               they               want               you               to               succeed               and               recruiters               will               usually               try               hard               to               place               you               in               a               career               that               also               interests               you.
               Off               to               Basic               Training               
               This               is               when               you               REALLY               think               -               oh               my               -               what               have               I               done?

Whether               you               fly               or               take               a               bus               to               basic               training,               you               become               petrified               because               this               is               the               REAL               thing               -               no               turning               back               now!

Here               I               am               troops               -               just               like               Goldie               Hawn               in               Private               Benjamin               when               she               gets               issued               those               ugly               green               fatigues:               Is               this               the               only               color               these               come               in?
               Basic               training               is               hard               and               scary.

People               yell               at               you               all               day               long.

Just               remember,               it               is               all               a               game               and               you               can               win               if               you               accept               the               game               rules               and               play               along               for               just               6               weeks.

Be               patient               with               the               spoiled               brats               in               your               squadron               who               cannot               mop               a               floor               or               clean               a               toilet.

Be               open-minded               and               committed               to               a               different               way               of               life.

Stay               quiet               and               out               of               trouble               and               the               time               will               pass               before               you               know               it.
               Now,               they               don't               really               tell               you               this,               and               I               don't               recommend               it               -               but               if               you               really               can't               handle               basic               training               for               6               weeks,               there               are               ways               to               get               discharged               without               going               any               further               in               your               military               career.

You               will               learn               how               for               yourself;               I               guarantee               there               will               be               a               few               in               your               squadron               who               want               out               and               get               out.

But,               my               advice               is               SUCK               IT               UP               AND               HANG               IN               THERE.

The               six               or               nine               weeks               (depending               on               the               Branch)               will               fly               by.
               Technical               Training               
               The               rules               at               your               Tech               School               will               be               more               relaxed               than               at               Basic               Training.

You               still               have               to               abide               by               the               Military               Code               of               Conduct,               but               you               don't               have               trainers               yelling               at               you               all               the               time.

You               also               get               more               off-base               leave               privileges.

Probably               the               most               fear               you               will               have               at               Tech               School               is               passing               inspections               in               your               dorm               room               and               passing               your               classes               for               your               permanent               assignment.
               I               was               stationed               in               Biloxi,               Mississippi               for               my               Tech               training               and               it               was               some               of               the               most               fun               days               I've               ever               had               in               my               life.

It               was               like               being               in               college.
               Permanent               Duty               Station               
               My               snow               story               will               tell               the               whole               story               about               this.

I               was               from               Texas               and               stationed               at               Survival               Training               in               Spokane,               Washington.

I               woke               up               one               morning               at               6:00               am               to               be               at               work               by               7:00               am.

There               was               3               feet               of               snow               on               the               ground               and               my               car               was               parked               in               an               alley               behind               the               old               downtown               house               where               I               rented               an               attic               apartment.

I               called               my               Commanding               Officer               and               politely               informed               him               that               I               would               be               in               to               work               when               the               snow               melts               or               when               they               can               clear               the               roads.
               He               politely               informed               me               that               I               was               not               at               summer               camp,               this               is               the               military,               and               if               I               don't               have               my               little               Texas               butt               to               work               at               7:00               am,               I               would               receive               an               AWOL.

I               shoveled               tons               of               snow               from               behind               my               car               and               drove               20               miles               an               hour,               but               I               made               it.

I               did               think               it               was               a               bit               rude,               though.
               The               rest               of               my               4               years               in               the               military               was               great.

It               was               not               unlike               having               a               "regular"               job.

You               just               have               to               pass               inspections,               keep               your               military               bearing,               and               do               the               job.

It               can               be               fun               too:               I               was               asked               to               escort               a               4-star               General               around               base               and               have               lunch               with               him.

I               got               to               fly               in               a               B-52.

I               got               to               rent               snow               mobiles               and               ski               boats               on               base               for               $25               a               day.

I               received               several               awards               like               "Professional               Performance"               from               the               Inspector               General.

I               really               knew               the               tricks               about               polishing               my               shoes.
               I               would               highly               recommend               a               career               in               the               military               if               you               need               some               discipline               in               your               life,               if               you               are               not               sure               what               you               want               to               do,               and               if               you               want               to               serve               your               country.

It               was               the               best               thing               I               ever               did               and               I               have               some               of               the               most               memorable               experiences               of               my               life               from               being               in               the               U.S.

Air               Force.
