Fine Then, Here I Am

I did not think of that. Why buy a rifle that you will not be able to use hardly ever enlisted are not allowed to keep firearms in the dorms so you have to leave in base armory as has been stated with the SPs also your need for self defense drops drastically on a military base all you need then are you fists.

Over seas if you are in Germany I think you can keep a weapon in the armory but not much point as the only place to use is the Rod and Gun Club on base and they have plenty of guns that you can just rest and plink with you cant get a German hunting permit.Japan is a no go as is Korea.

If you want to join ANG or Reserves you better get your ass on the ball and enlist right now delayed entry because those two are very limited in the AF assuming they have any slots available.

Have you even spoken to a recruiter yet? I think not even back in the mid 1990's when I joined you had to enlist delayed entry if you where in HS other wise you might have to wait a whole year or more.Also if you want to become a pilot your best bet is to enroll in a college Air Force ROTC program completing that and taking the tests in your senior year to see if you even qualify to get into flight school and go from there.If start as an enlisted man you are adding 6 or 8 years to that time span assuming you get into OCS or Boot Strap.The other route is to serve at least 4 good years as an enlisted (though you'd need to have been an NCO to improve your chances) then enroll in the US Army program that takes enlisted men and trains them to be helicopter pilots as Warrant officers though that is gong to be very hard only the best of the best get to fly the AH-64.

In my day they if you had less than 50 overall ASVAB the AF did not even speak to you at all ideally you will need to have a high score in two categories like mechanical and electrical other wise they might pass on you nowadays.Some AF tech training is very hard (mine was and so where the other fields in my squadron) and they will not hold your hand if you do not study and you fail they will simply wash you back three times then you get kicked out.In some jobs like EOD you can not fail ever or they send you to another job(in that case because of the very high skill EOD requires your still usable else where.)another job that has a zero fail is boom operator(inflight refueling) the boom is controlled by an enlisted man that course you can not fail.

I am saying theses things because based on what you say compared to what you do I dont think you are going to make it in the military.I was already in the delayed entry program for the USAF at the same point(17) in my life as you I was already putting my plans into action.

P.S. You are going to have to contact an AF recruiter they wont call you I find your weight excuse to be bogus unless you are 400 pounds they
will allow in any branch a guy to be over or under weight by some degree.There where guys in my flight that are the same size that you appear
to be in that picture you posted a while back with the teacher in the pink room so stop making excuses or stories and man up or don't.
