[ASOC]

Called Stop Loss
They have been doing it for years.

BTW, I was in USAF and carried both a rifle & pistol...was listed by AFSC as a radio guy, did a lot more. So don't assume USAF means no gunplay.

There are NO 'rear areas' or "safe" places these days... a war zone is a war zone.

That said, he will likely get as much out of his time in the service as he puts into it.

Have fun.

Yepper, especially now the USAF is moving to a more "warrior like" stance for its recruits. Hopefully the days of a corporate USAF are gone (Thanks Clinton for RIFs and drawdowns) Any person wearing the uniform now of any service can expect to be deployed.

Chances are any job that does not deploy will be converted to a civilian position. I was a computer programmer in the USAF and we were deploying as well. Our comm units especially are heavily deployed the last few years.

That being said, I suggest everyone serve in some facet of the military. While I lean towards the USAF, all have their strong points.

He is excited about going into the service. He loves scuba diving, rapelling, guns - rifles, pistols, shotguns..., helping others, cars. He wants to get involved in something that makes a difference.
