Is it wise for a mother to join the air force?

Question

As a mother who wants the best for her child, do you think the air force is the place to start a career and provide?

Is the Air Force tough on mothers?

How often will I be away from my baby?

I have a degree in Graphic Design and I was wondering can it be useful in the Air Force?

Answer 1

Are you a single mother?

If so, then you would be disqualified from service.

Answer 2

Sinlge parents cannot enlist in the AF.  It is disqualifying.  You also cannot give up custody of your child for the sole purpose of enlisting.  A recruiter won't even speak with you.

Are you married or single?

Answer 3

My niece just joined the Navy.  She will be gone for 6 years.  Who will care for your child?  Do you want to miss out on all that?

I know you want the best, but if you are an only mother, they won't let you in.

I don't think Graphic Design is helpful, either.  Have you checked into daycare, GD and CAN YOU FLY?

Answer 4

you would have to give temp custody to a loved one till you hit a duty station I have had to deal with single mother soilders under me in my squad, given I was in the Army  not the AF and in the Army we do have a MOS that deals with graphic design in part I belive its in the communication corp (media) if your degree is a A.A. you can come in as a E-4 if its a B.A. you can come in as a officer check with other branches not everyone has the same Regs
