United States Air Force can I get out?

furrryyy

With your mindset, you are headed for a discharge under Other Than Honorable at best. Better shape up and bear it, soon your four year hitch will be over. Then you can go on your merry way.

Shut the f*ck up and fulfill your f*cken contract. If you want to be a part of the G WOT C, why don't you augment to the Marine Corps Infantry and do the sh!t that we do.

Getting out is not really an option for you. About the only option that you would have (as far as a discharge) would be medical. And trust me when I say that you would have to jump through hoops to make that happen!!

Your best bet is to talk to your supervisor, first Sgt, or CO, and request a transfer. There are also some situations that will allow you to retrain to a new career.

If you remain silent, then it will be a long 3 years!! Because they will not let you out, you need to make the best of what you have. Instead of complaining about the current situation, make the best of it. On the bright side, you have already done a year.

Good Luck!!

PS, I was in the Air Force, and 4 months into it, retrained to new career.

Nope you're stuck until your enlistment is up! Make the best of it!

sure you can get out...all you have to do is be a man and complete the time you said you would and then you can leave...please tell me you didn't join and not think you'd have to go to war...you just wanted to collect some money see some places right?? sounds like you have some growing up to do...

It is part of the program. If I am you, I will just do my time. On my off duty, I will be taking any college classes. Also, I will save as munch money possible to make a smooth transition to civilian life.

Good luck.

It actually sounds like you are just a complainer and a quiter, but on the off chance that isn't true I will tell you about what I happened to me.

Basically I pretty early on I realized that even though the Air Force was a career choice for my father (30 years), it wasn't for me, just because cared little about things like pressed slacks and trimmed mustache, and I got pretty bored after the 4 year (I signed up for 6 years), but I signed up for 6 years I that is what I was going to do. BTW I was tops in what I did and my school alone was 1 year, and the minimum on job training was 6 months, which actually finished in 4 months, but had to wait for the required time. Bottom line I had great people to work with, but I doubt I would have given up like you have, I would have found a way to learn.

Anyway in my 5th year I had a personality conflict with my supervisor. Neither of us were bad we just didn't see eye to eye. It escalated to the point were I was sent to a councilor, and still he basically told me that it was I that was making myself angry and he was right(We tend to believe others cause us to do things when it us not them), he also told me that if I was release after 4 years I would get an honorable discharge, so I went to the CO, and you know what? Before I said anything the CO, said "You are not getting out". And that was the end of it.

Anyway you know what fixed the problem? Something I really hated. See I always worked night shifts because I didn't like the fact that day shift had the brass running around and making them happy was more important then doing my job. But in the end I went to day shift, and the problem was solved. After 6 months I went to midnight shift.

Bottom line, clean up you act some, and then ask to get on another shift with different people. If you get that and find those people aren't to your liking, then most likely you need to look a bit closer to your chest to find the problem.

Just go tell your commanding Officer that you are not fit to be a soldier. Tell him you want out, honorably, becasue you are a quitter. I am sure you have hundreds of excuses. Let's face it, you aren't a finisher, chances are you quit in the middle of everything, especially if you are bored or scared.

You really do need to get out though, we don't need soldiers who are unable to carry out an order.

did you comission for 4 years. You have to searve out your term or whatever they call it. They paid to train you and they wants their money's worth.

The only way to get out with an Honorable Discharge is to (honorably) serve out your enlistment.

The only other discharge you might be able to get is the General Discharge. Given for hardship, inability to adapt, etc.

You DON'T want any other discharge:

Medical Discharge (that includes a "Section 8"...in other words you're mentally unable to serve.) Medical Discharge can keep you out of some job markets.

Bad Conduct Discharge. (Conduct that is not criminal but still not suitable to military life.)

Dishonorable Discharge: (Conduct that often includes criminal conduct, drug addiction, etc.)

Good luck.

P.S. Put in for a transfer. You might find another unit that is more amenable.

Basically what you have to do is just act like a total ***...don't do work....mouth out to EVERYONE....and I mean everyone....don't do your work....not show up to work.....give horrible excuses like you don't want to work. felt like going out and parting....ummm yea hope this helps...

winemkr

Don't worry dude, with your attitude you'll be out soon one way or the other.

brenda_lilb

just tell them your GAY!!

mack j

just keep complaining to them that you want out,sooner or later they will get tired of you and let you out.

HKEast

I was in for four...Try the college route I think you can got to college and get an early release with base commander recomm., through first shirt---but with manpower shortage (perpetual since 1992 for AF) it may be tough to get out.

Why are you guys tweaking? He obviously wants to contribute, but got involved in the wrong service. Honestly, Air Force personnel are some of the laziest folks I've ever met. You guys need to chill out and stop being so sensitive about it. Afterall, I imagine most of you are just upset because he called you out!

I honestly agree with Jacob quit giving him hell I know I sure as hell can't wait to get out of the airforce I got 5 years left personally for me the air force isn't for an African American male straight out of high-school from my area I hate people who has been in 20 years or something and act like its the best thing in tthe world I know if it wasn't for my Co workers I would of been got out

What I think is funny is that most people that are criticizing you on wanting out never served this country even for a day. I served in the Air Force four years and let me tell you I can't count how many times I wanted to quit. I wanted to quit because I usually got a shitty a supervisor. I stuck it out and think that you should try. However if you really want out I don't recommend you do anything illegal. I recommend having a long talk with your supervisor and stress to him/her that the Air Force is not for you. Of course they will try to change your mind, however if you continually tell them that you want out, they will do everything in your power to help you out. Believe it or not when I came back from overseas I was really depressed and my supervisor told me (when she seen that I wasn't working as hard) that not only would she help me get out but she would help me pack. Bottom line if you want out you can but it will probably take anywhere between six months to a year. I think you should stick it out if you only signed for four years. I know if I would have gotten out before my contract was up I would have felt ashamed and caught a lot of crap from my family. Its up to you, it is after all your life. Good luck with the decision you end up choosing!!!
