It's true, the Air Force has the best standard of living. For instance, I have my own room with a shitter and shower while the Army barracks across the street (patriot operators) has 2 to a room and the rooms are a lot smaller. Things are changing now. With so much money being tied up in the war, mainly the Army and Marines, the AF is getting shafted on funding. It's not pretty. The AF is trying to cut 40,000 or so airmen from the ranks entirely. Lieutenants and some captains are also getting forced out. Right now the junior officer tier is incredibly bloated and the AF is trying to save money. Also, the hot rumor these days is that they are suspending all 2007 PSC moves. So instead of me PSCing back to to the states in October, i've now got another year tacked onto originally what was supposed to be a 2 year tour.
My AFSC (MOS) is Munitions Systems Journeyman.

I'm fairly satisfied with the job overall. It's interesting, you get to work around all different types of munitions such as GBUs, CBUs, JDAMs, JASMs, AIM-9s, and so on. It's a maintenance job and it's pretty blue collar. We're outside working, busting our ass clearing out storage structures and hauling munitions across the Bomb Dump only to stuff them all back in another building.
It's also satisfying knowing that we play a major role in acomplishing the overall AF mission, which is to put jets in the air and blow shit up.
