My husband was an Air Force officer for 10 years and loved it.  Opportunities abound and the pay isn't bad in the officer ranks.  The Air Force has the most to offer in terms of recreation, housing and other amenities.  That's not just personal opinion, either.  While he was razzed for being in the "easiest" branch of the military, he did his time overseas and worked a lot of hours.  \n\nI'll take the nicer temporary housing and commissary any day of the week for a bit of razzing.

It sounds like you need to apply to be transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Speak to your Readiness NCO/full-timer and they will explain how to do this. You will probably have to provide documentation so be prepared with your paperwork. Other than that - best of luck!

if you are malingering, or they even think that you are, it'll be a LONG time.  One guy I knew, was put on med hold past his EAS because he'd been malingering since he'd gotten to his first unit.  Legit reasons usually process through in about six months, from what I've seen.

if they are enlisted, they should spend the remainder of their obligation in the brig. if they are a officer, they should be stripped of their rank and and also locked in a brig for the duration of the war or crises, then they should be made to repay what their degree would be worth if they got it from a 4 year university back to the government.

If you like the military experience, with your time in service you can either apply to go to a base assignment in an interesting location, or you can choose to retrain in another specialty.  If you have been happy so far and have not been in any trouble, you can apply for 1-2 years of recruiter duty.\n\nYou can also use the available education resources to go to college and work toward a degree.  I assume that you are enlisted, it can allow you to become an officer if you wish.  The combination of college degree and military service are extremely valuable in the commercial world.\n\nDon't think that the kind of benefits you have are readily available in the "real world."  I have been out of the service for 26 years, and I have never had as good benefits for me or my family as I had as an enlisted man.  I started college while in my 3rd year of a 4-year enlistment; when I got out, I was a sophomore in college.  I had more maturity than any of my classmates and I was more motivated to succeed than any of my younger classmates.\n\nI wish you the best in your decision.  Jstmother at yahoo.

It is a very long four years and then you have a five year commitment.  It will be a very good education for you.  Unterstand what you want.  Most people are not used to working in the same employer for five years.  With your service commitment, you will be working/serving the Navy for five years.  College is tough, but imagine all the added physical training on top.  It will take someone with a lot of commitment to get through it.  If this is you, go for it.

Good Luck!  My husband put in his packet and was in school 2 months later.  We actually got his first choice for a recruiting station...only too find out three months after he graduated(and we still had no orders) that a DUI he got 9 years ago came up on his background check and that disqualified him.  People were getting kicked ut throughout the class for things such as BAD credit!  They are allowed to take up to 9 months from the time you graduate until they give you orders.  Good luck!

All you have to do is say you don't want to be in the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP) anymore. Your recruiter is then obligated to release you from the DEP. Read your enlistment agreement!!!!! However, before you do something that drastic, remember that you enlisted for a reason. Being in the military is honorable and it is a great way to earn a living and have excellent benefits. It would be foolish not to enlist if you are qualified to do so. By backing out of your obligation now, you will be sorry in the future I bet.

Don't know. If you took the education benefit, you have up t 10 years to use it after separating from active duty. If you had it in the reserves, your 10 years to use it started at the time you signed your first 6 year enlistment. Besides the VA rehab program, all states have a state veterans education program, from free school if qualified to discounts. Check with your VA and your state Veterans department. Also your local VFW and American Legion can help get you a point of contact.

I have a friend whose husband went into the army as an officer first. He was a Lt. for a yr. and now he is going to captains school. What he did was he went to college, Texas A&M and enrolled in their ROTC program and I think he talked to a recruiter.The military paid for his college tuition and then he had to serve 4 years in the military upon graduation. Don't believe the recruiters when they tell you that you can go to college while in the military. That is a bunch of BS, I know because my first husband was in the military. Go to college first, then go into the military. Look into West point or something like this guy. I do want you to know that the military doesn't make that much money. You are poor...they do have free housing for officers, free medical, the commisary(groceries) which is cheaper and the traveling is ok if you get housing on base.

Your time in service I think has to be two years to benefit, or you needed to at least finish your AIT.   If you knew about it before hand I think you can actually get into trouble, if not, you  should get an honorable discharge under medical reasons which will not harm your future employ-ability.

As far as I understand an RE-4 just means you are not eligible for re-enlistment. I dont think it bans you from civilian government jobs.

officers serve until they resign or are forced out to my knowledge, after the initial committment

If you signed up for eight years, they saw you coming, dizzy!   Boy, that sure fits!\n\nYou need to talk with the MEPS people about this one.  As hard as it is for these people to make quota these days, they're liable to put up a fight to keep you.\n\nIt seems to me there is a small window of opportunity to back away.  You may have already exceeded that grace period, but time's a wastin.  You get on the phone first thing in the morning and start asking questions.

yes, talk to a recruiter and pick a job feild because local officers may have the atthority to temp. waive said violations, but it depends on the case,then keep your nose clean becase your past stays in your jacket,
