Questions about the Air Force

Question

1) What are the requirements so that I could get in?

2) How often would I be able to go home? (literally speaking, the home where you family is) and how long would I be able to stay off duty in a year?

3) Do I have to live in a base or would I get an option to love somewhere else if I want to?

4) Compared to the Navy, how often does the Air Force travel?

5) My highschool gpa is 2.1, would I still be able to get in? If not, how would I be able to fix this?

6) In a week, how often do I go on duty?

7) how often would I be able to visit my parents without using my paid vacation?

8) how often would I be able to contact home (both my family in Philippines and my family in the US, some of my brothers got left behind when we migrated due to their age)?

9) What are the means of contacting home?

I'm thinking of joining the military for my future family and I wouldn't want to neglect my girlfriend for my job. If possible, please give me answers that is more suitable for my situation. Thanks!

Answer 1

I will answer the questions that I can...I am just in the delay entry program..So I am leaving in about a year for the Air Force..I am just a senior.

1.) You will need to take the ASVAB..and score at least a 36 on it. But be sure to score a lot higher to get the job that you would prefer. You basically have to be smart for the Air Force.

2-3.) Again if all depends on your job that you get qualified for..Please don't choose something that you would regret.

4.) The Navy is a boat most of the time...They are always traveling so they see a lot of the world from shore.

5.) As long as you have the ASVAB score and you graduate high school with a diploma...You will be good.

6.) Couldn't tell you the truth.

7.) I am sure you could visit them if you stationed around them..

8.)I think during basic..I believe you can call every Sunday.

9.) You are just contacting home just to check up on things.
