Thinking about joining the Air Force? In this episode, we dig into the real questions behind the glossy recruiting pitch: commissioning sources, officer vs. enlisted life, active duty vs. Guard and Reserve, and what happens when the service downsizes. We'll talk about "up or out," promotions, cross-training opportunities, and the wide range of jobs that don't make the brochure. Is the Air Force really the "softer" service? And are you still cool if you don't fly jets? We share stories, lessons learned, and what you should really know before raising your right hand.   Find us on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube) @TacTangents.
