i cant agree... that may be true between usmc and army, or army and navy etc... simply because all are in dire need of numbers.. on the opposite hand, the af is the only branch doing what is known as force shaping (cutting down) they wont care to contend to much.. unless you scored a 90+ on yur asvab (or find a recruiter desperate of his quota[dangerous situation]), on top of that, there is a waiting list + the af has highest standards of the 5...

well of course i planned on putting alot of time into talking to the recruiters of both branches and what not. It's not decision i want to take lightly.

Yeah.. cking various websights I see that the AF is getting much smaller..on the other hand the Navy is increasing at the rate of about 5% Per Year..Alot of new nuclear subs, aircraft super carriers and aegis cruisers on the drawing board for the next 25 years..Plus 2 new tatical jet fighters and a new sub hunter killer jet..(The F-14 Tomcats are retired now)..

Today I am going with my stepfather to talk to some recruiting officers, having a retired E6 standing over my shoulder might help me get what I want Razz

I have a coast guard friend who knew of a Seaman Cummings.

If I make it in/make it through grad school, I'll be Doctor Storm. It's pretty much my sole motivation for wanting to go.. so that I can have a sweet super-villain name.
