Your question I would think would more depend on you and your likes and dislikes...



I was in the SP's (Security Police) for 8 yrs in the USAF...loved every minute of it...



There are a myriad of jobs that are interesting and cool depending on you...



LoadMaster

Security Forces...formerly Security Police

Computer Engineering

Linguist



This is just to name a few...but ALL have training and you should want all the training you can get your hands on...the more knowledge the better. Whether you use it in garrison or deployment the knowledge you will have learned will make you more useful.



But I do agree...there other branches you have shunned without much thought or knowledge on the subjects other than what you have heard or what you think you know through hear say or others.



Check them all out...do research...and decide what is best for you and your wants and needs...remember you will be stuck in this at least three years minimum till you can re-enlist to a different MOS. So whatever you choose be comfortable with it. Do your own research and dont rely on recruiters...that will be your worst mistake.



Best of luck

I'm with Tyler on this one, sorry. If you're only interested in the Coolness Factor, and want to combine it with the I'm Too Lazy To Do Much Training Factor, then I don't want to serve with you. Fortunately I'm going Army so I won't have to.



FYI, I happen to think ALL jobs are cool. For instance, I'm going in as a Public Affairs Specialist (basically a journalist), and happen to be wetting myself with happiness that I was able to nail down what I consider to be the coolest job in the military. My husband, on the other hand, was Infantry, and thinks THAT'S the coolest job. Even the less-glamorous jobs are "cool" because they're all necessary. If it wasn't for the men and women in the chow hall or the laundry room, you'd be eating MREs and washing your own underwear.



Oh, and you're never going to be a pilot, because that requires a college degree, which I'm sure you're too lazy to get, and you won't be Special Ops because that requires hard work and dedication along with extensive training, something else you don't think is very "cool."



My suggestion would be to go get your worn-out video of Top Gun, watch it 80,000 more times to get your "cool Air Force" fix, and then go see if McDonald's is hiring.



Good luck to you!

well according to some of your answers to other people you were in army special forces on one question and on another question you were army airborne. i begin to wonder if you were really these things at all, but i guess you could go with pararescue called CSAR (combat search and rescue). their motto is "that others may live." These guys are some of the air force's best and put their own lives on the line to save someone else's life.

Unfortunately for you these guys put a lot of effort into what they do, so I don't think they would waste their time with someone who would rather take the easy way out or would like to not put the effort in.

I've heard being a load master is a sweet gig. Check it out. I was a firefighter in the AF for a while and that was a pretty nice job. You want to pick a miliary job that can translate into the civilian world...because after 4 years you may want to get out and not be stuck with your d* in your hand.

any job considered "cool" would have a significant amount of training involved.

Based on your previous questions, you already know quite a bit about the USAF.
