Anyone in the Air Force?

CT63084 is correct, the amount of babying and micromanaging an officer goes through can be absolutely ridiculous and overwhelming for some. A captain above me not only has to do his job on his daily basis, but he has to put up with the BS that an airman that I am supervising constantly. And that's just me, when he's above a good 50-60 people, if not more. Luckily he's fairly good at what he does, because a lesser person would want to drink themselves into a coma nightly.

Lol tell me about it my troop failed his dorm inspection and i gotta be in my service dress in his room at 0700 for a reinspection. I hope you don't get discourage being an officer because of what i stated above. I just don't want you to go join up and regret your decision cause that would be not be good for you, your career and all the people that's going to be working for you.

But personally the pro's outweighs the con's. I love the military i have been to places i never dream on going, seen some crazy ****, met a lot of people, got a ride on a F16 i pulled 12g on that thing lol i was so close to passing out also the pilot let me fly the plane. The whole family concept in the military is superb, I remember one time i was in the hospital because I injured my ankle the commander stopped by, the first seargent and my whole shop came by to make sure i was taken care of. When i was deployed my supervisor gave my wife a call almost every week to make sure she's alrite and mowed my lawn. I learned that if you take care of your people they will take care of you. Oh and yeah you will definitely be able to afforD a 370z, i've seen much more expensive cars owned by airmans (E1-E4)

Lol i don't know about the other services though i have a couple of ARMY buddies back in Korea and they all wished they join the Chairforce lol.
