Hey my boyfriend is looking into joining the military. What can u tell me about the Air Force? Let me give u a little info about my family and what I've heard and so on..also u can see my profile too. My boyfriend is thinking about this, we live in a very poverty stricken town in Ohio, we're on HUD and I'm always scared that we'll be kicked off for whatever reason. We want out of this town and off of HUD. Here my boyfriend makes like $10 an hour which is great for here because it is cheap to live here, but making that much isn't going to help our future any as far as savings go and it certainly isn't going to get us out of this town..I am a stay at home mom to our two boys and don't want them growing up here. I think that the military would be good because it would get us out of here (we obviously would have to get married first, no prob) and when he gets out we can get a great loan for a house. My boyfriend has graduated from college and has a bachelors degree in autocad/computer drafting so from what I hear that would get him in a higher ranking position and that would pay more. I know that our housing would be paid for and our utilities and that we would get a food allowance. I wonder if his student loans would get paid for? Also I am hoping that he can not go into a war zone so I was thinking if he went into the air force and went to school for something through the air force that would keep him from war and he'd get paid and our housing would still get paid for. Sounds good to me! I wonder if he does the schooling where we would be stationed? Also I wonder how long the boot camp is and while he is in bootcamp will my rent be paid for? Can you tell me anything else about the Air Force? Like is there a chance we would get sent out of the country to another country oh like France, or sent to hmmm Hawaii? lol..TIA!! ~Tema

Hello Maria, I think it stinks that we have to travel so far, but at least if you keep your receipts "Benefits" will give you travel orders in which you can be repaid for hotel, gas and maybe even airplane tickets, here is my normal email address if you'd like to keep in contact: [email protected] I am very happy I have done this, I have lost 25lbs in 4weeks, I don't see it, but others have told me they do, I just hope I can lose as much as I want too, I have read good and not so good. I will say this that Tricare is one of the FASTEST to respond for approval I had mine with in a week. And thats good from what I have heard. I would really like to talk more about this with you email me okay.

Good luck tomorrow! I'm 4 weeks out and 24 lbs lighter because of Lap RYN! I would do it again tomorrow!

Unfortunatly she had already had hers open before they changed their minds. But she is doing good anyway. Jen

Hey Tonya Nellis AFB is very nice, has the BEST and Largest BX, it only year old maybe a little longer. My husband and I just PCS from Nellis to Vandenberg AFB in California, I would much rather be back in Vegas, I love it there, my husband is Security Forces and it was really nice. People are very helpful and friendly. Don\\\'t know about housing we lived off base, good luck to you, if you have any questions don\\\'t hesitate to ask. Teresa
