I am looking into the Air Force too. Headed to an officer briefing on March 8th to learn more about the commissioning process.
Have fun.
No matter what crappy assignment, job or deployment you are in....
Good luck with MEPS! The AF has treated me well so I can't complain. No matter what crappy assignment, job or deployment you are in you have the option of making it a learning experience. If you have any questions especially with the flight line or medical let me know as I'll be glad to help.
Don't let him fool ya, Nate, there aren't any crappy assignments in the Air Force...it's against Air Force Policy.![]()
Bring a book, preferably one you can fit in your pocket. You store electronic devices in a locker so won't be able to fill the down time playing on those, but you can carry the book with you.
I had the ASVAB on Thursday night and medical on Friday. MEPS opens something like 6am, and I was done by 11, but it wasn't until almost 4 that I could leave. That's a lot of waiting around doing nothing. You'll also be waiting between medical tests, after breakfast for the bus to get you to MEPS on Tuesday, and lots more. Having something to read will make it a lot more bearable.
Second that!
Capid, noticed you're in Minot? I went to high school there, my dad retired from the AF there and my folks are now living there again..
Yes, still here at Minot. Just celebrated my 3yrs on station 13Feb. I'll be out of here headed for the Blue Zoo (AF Academy) or to Texas for instructor duty by end of year. A lot of people hate Minot but they tend to lack creativity.
And everyone is right about no bad assignments in the AF. It is the person that makes the assignment good or bad even when it is -27F![]()
