*Air Force, questions to ask the recruiter?

Question

my boyfriend is considering going into the AF..

If he decides to join hes going to leave in June for BT for 8 1/2 weeks then on to tech school..

We are wanting to get married right after he gets out of tech school, before he goes to his duty station.. where we can live together and so on..

Im new to all this military stuff and so is he.. Ive heard from several people to not listen to everything the recruiter tells you that they'll lie and so on..

so i was wondering if someone could give me the basics on what i need to expect.
is there anything that my boyfriend needs to make sure and talk to the recruiter about? (He wants me to go and talk with him too.. ive been making a list of questions. :) )


i just need someone with experience to give me some helpful advice. :)

btw: im completely supportive of his choice, i stand by my man no matter what. We understand what we are up against and we are willing to make it work. We have 100% trust in each other. <3

Any advice would be greatttt! THANKKK YOU :)

Answer 1

Immediately after basic training in San Antonio (Lackland AFB) he'll go strait to tech school. No time in between. If his tech school is located at Lackland he'll move across base to that schools dorms. Once at tech school he will be required to stay in the student dorms. If you two get married he may be allowed to move out of the dorms and with you, provided his tech school is long enough (a few months).



It is illegal for recruiters to lie. If they do they get punished, plain and simple. They are there to "sell" military service so they may omit the harder parts but they don't outright lie. He needs to know that every thing MUST BE IN WRITING on his enlistment contract. If it isn't there he won't get it. Also, plain and simple.



Life in the military is vastly different the that of civilians. You'll typically live across the country, travel world wide and meet people from all over the world. It will make you a better person and it does present challenges you both will have to meet.



Your man, when selecting a job in the Air Force, needs to think about what he really wants to do. Fix planes, be like a policeman, firefighter, electrician, load weapons and bombs, rescue people, be a pharmacist, be the person that gets people supplies, for example. If he wants a specific job then he needs that on his contract. If he goes "general field" he'll get something relating to that field of work. If he goes in "general" he'll get what ever the Air Force needs at that time. Could be good or not so good.



Serving in the military, in particular the Air Force is a wise and honorable choice. As a military spouse you will face challenges your civilian friends simply can't relate to. That should not deter you as it will certainly make life interesting.

Well first off I would advise getting married before he goes to basic so you can get benefits for the 8+ weeks he is away. Recruiters should never lie if you think yours did switch to an honest one. They may bend the truth or word things to make it sound funner than it is but I'm pretty sure it is illegal for them to outright lie.

As for questions for the recruiter I really can't think of any, just make sure to follow the recruiters instructions to the letter if he does decide to join.

Answer 4

how do you know he would leave in june if he's still "considering going into the AF"? my advice for your boyfriend is to make sure he picks a job that he really wants. don't go open anything. if you're going to get married i think you should marry before he leaves for basic training. that's great that you're being supportive and standing by him. just make sure he does the same for you.

There are no questions that you really need to ask.

It doesn't matter how prepared you think you are and how much you know you will still get screwed.
