Answer 1

You could probably say "Yes" to all of those questions.  Ask an Air Force recruiter those questions.  It's their job to answer your questions.

Answer 2

1. hmm hard to say with any hours they all vary. Typically you would work a 7-4 or something of that nature with the AF. All varies depending on your unit and job. Also you would more than likely be working on more than just vehicles. But it's a GREAT way to get college credits(If in college for Automotive) job skills, and it makes a d**n good resume.

2. Yes you get to travel. Basic training is in Texas, your AIT could be anywhere, and you could be stationed anywhere plus deployments.

3. I do not see the need but anything is possible. Mostly Army and Marines there. However some medical staff from the Air Force, and construction workers(Seabees) from the Navy are/have been there. But with the Air Force in general slim to none. But dont join if this is a fear. Besides Air Forces deployments are a breeze 90 -180 days tops. Compared to ONE-YEAR Army, 6 months or more with the Navy,etc.

4. Yes, but it all depends on the needs of the AF.

5. I do not believe so. But the US Naval Academy(Navy and Marine Program) in Annapolis offers it.
