I wish you good luck no matter which route you choose. I think fate will send you the right way and, in time, you can take better control of your life and do what you are passionate about to see much better results.

My brother is currently active duty Air National Guard and loves it. I don't think that he would do the non-guard AF because he loves the benefits of being in the guards (currently 2 days on and 4 days off, good pay, etc). He loves working on the F -16s and all that.
I too would have gone AF if I were interested in joining the military. Good luck and have fun!

if you need the funds do it, the cons to this i beleive completely are outweighed by the pros.

Good luck bro - I considered ROTC out of high school because my financial situation wasn't great, so I totally see where you're coming from. Take care.

docetboy-
My brother is in the Air Force and just loves it! He thinks it's the best decision he has ever made. He could have went to any college in the country, but chose to serve the U.S. I admire that this is a decision that you are also considering.

Go air national guard and stay in school. do AFROTC or Army Rotc and get a scholarship after you get your grades up, one you'll get your degree and two you'll get paid for it.

Update everyone:
All the paperwork has finally been found, and I get to go to processing tomorrow - only a few weeks late, lol. I get put up in a hotel on the other side of town tonight, too. How fun
I will let everyone know when I have signed the dotted line about what I enlisted in, stuff like that - I know the nash asked about that and I didn't reply since I haven't gotten anything yet!
Until tomorrow...

Good luck.
If you go to Basic at Lackland, maybe you can get together when you have leave with Kitso (and Lifesaver?), who I think is from the San Antonio area.

Woo-Hoo!
After months and months of delays, I have finally signed the dotted line to become a member of the world's greatest Air Force. However, I don't know when I ship yet or what my job is, I will find that out hopefully this weekend from the top 4 choices I put down (Airborne Comm., Computer Ops, Ground Radio Comm., Visual Imagery or Open General category)
But, I'm in!!! That's the important news!!! No more dang delays!
