We woke up and were doing our normal shit and they're like "omg omg omg America is under attack" and we were like "what kind of drill are these assholes running now?" Then it wound up not being a drill...yeah... But for some reason the AF has been downsizing like mad. I was enlisted and then I thought I wanted to do the officer thing but then I realized that I had my head up my ass and that I could make about 5x as much money on the outside without some idiot calling me at 10 at night when I'm home with my family and telling me that he needs a powerpoint done tomorrow morning and that I have to do it... I still owe them 2 years enlisted for paying for 3 years of college but it'll just be as your basic run of the mill mechanic at McGuire AFB, NJ. eh, nothing compared to having to go to Mosul though, holy hell... if I get deployed to the sandbox as a mechanic it'll likely be to Baghdad International to support the tankers. Air conditioned trailers FTW!! Yeah...most of the Air Force isn't the real military...</blockquote>
