[QUOTE="ace_800, post: 3411441, member: 554627"] Basic was nothing in the AF really. All they do is yell and shit, if you can take that you golden. They can't touch u and its not always yelling. During the classes they teach they are more laid back, unless you are falling asleep. For the PT part of basic, obviously there is alot of running. Depending on your waist and how many pushups and situps you can do in a minute, your 1.5 mile run has to be under 13 minutes. But alot depends on your waist, if you have like a 35+waist you had better be able to run. About civilian jobs outside the military, it depends on the job you select. My first career was munitons specialist, building bombs and munitions storage/inspection etc. I didn't really have much out in the civilian world. Now I'm contracting, (ie spending the governments money) and the civilan part is needed alot. When I crosstrained I was offered a job at Boeing salary starting at 80k/year, twice what I make now. But you need experiance in this job so I turned it down for now. I'd say don't be a cop, anything with ammo besides EOD, but EOD's tech school is hard a ****, many drop out. Go for something that you can transition to the civilian side, contracting(if you score high enough on you ASVAB you will have no proble getting this, really needed), weather, Air Traffic Control. The only thing with those besides contracting is the tech school time. Contracting is 8 weeks while weather and ATC is around 5-6 months. Just pm me if you got any questions. [/QUOTE]
