So I haven't been around for a long time, but I joined the Air Force 3 years ago. I know there might be some younger people here who are thinking of going that route and I'd be happy to answer any questions. For me, it was a great choice - I had just finished college and wasn't looking to do my major for a career. I'm from up north where joining the military has a stigma about it being a terrible job with low quality of life - but that is not completely true. Each branch of the military and the specific shop you work in embody different life styles. I have a great chain of command, supervisors, airmen and a base that takes care of you/your family. I also have friends in other jobs/branches that have to embrace the suck. It is luck of the draw how it might end up for you, but if you do research - you can stack the deck. For 4 years, it's also a pretty damn legit transition to adult life.

 

Pay is damn great for anyone coming out of high school (even college). The benefits are great and are worth $$.

I'm pretty reachable through steam rather than on these forums if anyone wants more information.

Both my parents were in the Air Force for number of years, with both of them retiring out of it as well. That is where I first went when I was about 19, however due to complications I wasn't allowed to join. My dad coming from the Army always told me to go the Air Force route, as you have a wide variety of choices to choose from in that branch. My entire family is pretty much all service members in all branches including special forces. The jokes fly around the house during get togethers let me tell you.
