This needs to be printed out and posted in every comm bathroom throughout the AF!

Something people don't seem to realize is that roughly the other 90 percent of people in the country find a job. The military is like 1 percent of the population. Someway somehow, the rest of the world seems to be living on just fine without being in the military. If Crackhead Dan and Fat Tina with the 15 kids can survive, so can I.

E4-E6; it's the truth.

Almost went that route. I don't regret not taking it.

Snco: Cant believe youre gonna throw your life away and think youll succeed outside
Friend who separated as Staff with clearance: yehh im making 110 grand and feel human again.
Wait... you mean to tell me, there’s a life AFTER the AirForce ?!
But I thought everyone not in the military live in the van down by the bridge.
Nah, you're thinking of the Marines.
I didn't know Chris Farley was a marine
Well it's air force, not airforce, so maybe not for you, buddy.
Of all the things to pick at...that was a weird one
You’re wrong.
"Dont think that everyone in your AFSC makes 6 figures after the AF"
Me, who has yet to meet someone in my field who got out and works in my field on the outside and makes less than 100k
What job?

you're referring to re enlisting, correct?

What if I told you I've kept in contact with everyone I work with.
I certainly have. Grade school IT techs... ISP cable dudes.
3D, I know multiple people that got out and can't find decent jobs. Sure there's one or two that are making around 90k but the rest aren't. One of the guys has moved a second time in past 3 years cause he can't hold a job
It is my understanding that everyone in every branch in every rate/mos/afsc is immediately assigned a 100k job upon separation.
Anyway, it is pretty easy to tell who is going to make it and who won't. Just smile and nod when someone tells you their story... unless you're feeling combative of course.
Had a MSgt like that, but she was conducting the separation briefing everyone had to attend. She only had horror stories to tell. Just made us want to get out even more.
I cant believe some SNCO's...one basically tried to convince me to stay for the retirement. He said it will be worth it for that steady paycheck for the rest of your life. I told him that I would rather clock in the rest of the 20 years I have left, and the time I have left till retirement, making 6 figures with a good 401k match...he had nothing to say.
That’s because they are trying to validate their own decision to stay in rather than help you. They might be right, they might be wrong. But the freedom to roll the dice and create your own destiny is worth the risk.
That's what I think as well. Neither path is a wrong one, but like they say...you know its time to get out when it stops being fun. It had stopped being fun being told where to live, how to dress, and being at the mercy of shitty leadership.
Damn lol doing what
