Military Brehs, Looking for Some Advice

[Dooby]

Air Force BMT Physical Fitness Test - Military Fitness - Military.com those are the requirements you need for basic when you get to your first duty station and after in tech school you need 42 min situps 33 min push ups and i think like a 13:36 run time

Man I have asthma and I'm thinking of not bringing it up if I can do the running. I know I can do the pull/sit/push ups though.

I read you need to run 1.5 miles a minimum of 11:57.

I can do 12:00 flat by going 7.5 mph throughout so I guess I gotta bump it up to 7.6

Is it measured on a treadmill or you gotta run and get timed around a track or something...I'm not having a good feeling about this

You gotta run on a track but by the time you leave for basic you should be ready if you keep running everyday asthma thats something i would talk about with the recruiter to be honest if it doesnt bother you that bad then i wouldnt bring it up at all but in basic you will run alot so you will defiantly be in shape

So I looked into it and it looks like I won't be able to do any of the good jobs or any jobs with a security clearance because I have a Marijuana possession charge. Is it still worth it to join with a job that won't really teach me any skills?

C'mon brehs

C'mon brehs

Nah that's one of the jobs that's off limits too

I was set to do it but I think this might be a deal breaker. I don't wanna spend 4-6 years in there doing some menial job that I'll hate and doesn't provide me with any type of skills that translate into the civilian world.

The way I see it is, they have to be in high demand. How many muthafukkas u know willing to deactivate a bomb so you'll have jobs when u get out, plus if you mess up you'll be blown to pieces instantly
If I had to die that might be the way to go.

I know cats getting kicked out for asthma, but it depends on how serious it is. Real talk I'd avoid the air force. The daily bullshyt and politics is just wack as shyt. 10 years ago I would say join but we following behind the army on just about everything. The last few deployments I was on was with the army outside the wire. With that said the most important thing you should be concerned with is what job you will be doing if you do join. DON'T go security forces, air traffic controller, or Civil engineering.

Best advice is get your ASVAB scores as high as possible. Go to a library and get one of those study guides bruh. That way you choose what job you want instead of them laying out 5 bullshytjobs for you to pick from.

I consign whoever said go into a ROTC program. Better money and you get treated better across the board.

Dang kicked out? What's the repercussion? Do they get jail time or fined? I'm weighing my options here

What branch are you trying to join? I'm only asking because I don't think that the AF is accepting new recruits with a Marijuana charge.

With the economy the way it is right now, the AF basically has their pick of who to bring in and who not to.

Marines or National Guard. Can't join Air Force, Coast Guard or active Army cuz of the MJ charge. Not really too interested in the Navy.

And of the branches I could potentially join my job selection would be very limited cuz of the charge Don't really know if it's still worth it.

The only thing I can say to you is have a sit down with a recruiter for both branches and have them explain each career field you'd be able to work in. If you can't find anything, then you may need to re-think the military. If joining the military is what you really want to do, you'll make it work for you.
