:icon_tong I am sure that the Air Force is not that bad.
Is there an Air Force equivalent to air warriors?
I am been considering the AFrotc unit at UCLA.However, I have talked with an Air Force recruiter, and he said that only 10-25% of those willing get pilot slots.
the forum on baseops.net is sort of the air force version of this site. the only difference is you won't find threads that are 7 pages long bashing on the navy.
as an air force ots grad, i can confirm a couple of things that have been said here. there is a serious lack of emphasis (to a fault) on pt., especially in our officer training programs. i've seen fatasses in both the af and the navy. another thing that was said that i'll acknowledge a lot of air force pilots are pilots first and officers second...which sucks...but they usually get out and go for the airlines, so they aren't promoted, thankfully. but from listening to these guys you would think the air force is the only service with dirtbags in it...don't be naive there are even douchebags in the, gulp, navy.
also, a lot of the comments on here have been about AFROTC. i think most former afrotc cadets would agree that it is pretty gay. i know ots was. i also know that being in the operational air force is nothing like rotc, the academy, or ots. we have a huge mission that we do very well. depending on what you fly in the air force you will deploy often, you will be away from your family, and you will not always bed down in nice hotels (however you will stay in nice hotels more than anyone from any of the other services.) the air force admittedly has some issues, but if you want another perspective check out baseops.net or send me a message.
obviously i'm a lone soldier here and don't have the time, or desire to sort out what is true and what is bs on here, but don't believe everything you read about the air force on a navy forum.
