You think your friend is wasting his time by joining the Air Force? What better options does he have to better his future, honestly?
I joined the military out of tradition, I was the 4th generation in my family to serve. I also joined because all the freedoms I have and all you have were not given as a gift. When my sons get old enough to join and they ask my opinion I will tell them it is the most noble and honorable thing a person can do. It is one thing you can always look back on with pride. How many people do you know can say that about college? |

Why didn't you ask your friend.
What kind of job can expect out of high school that will give you a steady paycheck, money for school, free housing, free food, free medical and many other perks. |

Not to sound mean , but are you the center of the world? He is out of school now and wants to do things. Maybe he wants away from you. |

maybe he wants to get out and see the world before he's old and has a family to take care of |

It looks good to have prior service on a resume. Money. There's ALWAYS openings in the military.A chance to see the world. Gain discipline.Do what's right. Push your envelope.Protect your folks back home...
The list goes on.
I think the better question is Why doesn't EVERYONE join the military? We have people who sit on their asses and grow fat off of drug-dealing and welfare while others aspire to be something great and every now and again are incapable of holding jobs. Mad world. |

I joined the AF because 1) I had nothing better to do with my life. 2) If I did not do something, my father would have kicked me out of the house on the day of my graduation. Because I had plans, he was willing to tolerate me for another 3 months - far longer than any of my brothers. And 3) The Navy recruiter lied through his teeth. |

The reasons for joining vary so much I couldn't even begin to tell you why he did. However you should be happy for him. I know you said that you missed him but you can still keep in contact. He didn't drop off the face of the earth. I still talk to a lot of my friends back home fairly frequently. He's not as gone as you think. |

You can learn and experience a lot in the military. I have been in twice and did a lot both times. |

How would he be wasting his time?? Air Force offers great opportunity's, health care, dental, housing etc. And with the economy the way it is he definitely made a good choice.
He picked the best branch |

maybe he actually wanted to do something with his life. there are very few civilian jobs that actually have an impact on the people around you. in the military no matter what job you have, you know that you are making a difference. |

because he wants to do something important with his life. he is doing the opposite of wasting his time. he is helping you and your family live in a free nation.
he is starting his career, he can get his own house and live his own life.
don't be mad at him, be proud of him. |

Most people I know of enlisted to use the GI Bill to help pay for college when they get out. They weren't smart enough to get scholarships, and their families were too poor to pay for college. They thought this was a better option than taking out student loans and graduating with $50,000 worth of debt. |

Some do it out of patriotism and the wish to defend their country. Others do it as an alternative to college. And then you have your macho, macho man. I want to be a macho man. |
