"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hey all, I am going to be a college freshmen next fall and am considering joining the AF ROTC. I was wondering if anyone on here is or was in the program and could shed some insight on the life of a cadet.

FWIW, some of my main concerns include:

-Amount of time it takes (with ROTC plus difficult classes on my plate, will there be ANY time to chill/socialize?)

-Rigor of physical training (I'm a skinny weak guy, although certainly willing to do the training if I can handle it)

-Job afterwards (if I already have a specific USAF job in mind, will I be guaranteed to get it? or do they just put me where they need me?)

Thanks for any help.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I did Army ROTC for a while. I will tell you that ROTC does take a lot of your time, and you will feel like you have no free time if you really immerse yourself in it and your classes.

The physical training really isn't too overly difficult, at least it wasn't in my AROTC program or the AFROTC that I'd sit in on on occasion.

As far as I know (in AROTC), we were able to compete for different assignments but after all was said and done it was up to the needs of the Army where you went.

Me and my buddies were in AFJROTC and decided to do AFROTC in college, but I backed out at the last minute. But from witnessing my other friends being a part of it, it will become your life. You'll have time to get physically fit, but it's not like they are going to boot you right off the bat. It's the AF not marines lol. The AFROTC at the uni I attended just jogged in the morning. I was in a program associated with them and we worked out with them sometimes and that's all they did. As far as the job ****, the way it was explained to me by the program officials was that if I had of done the 4 years I would have had a job, as an officer of course, doing what I wanted if there were positions available and they didn't "need" me elsewhere.

Don't forget about the fact that if you commit to the AFROTC it's just like joining the service. If you decide it isn't for you, you will still owe them money and time in the AF, except you won't be an officer. Has happened to two buddies of mine so far, that's why I changed my mind at the last minute.

Damn the commitments, it's college ya know? But if you think it's for you then shoot for it.

I have a comment on this one. I'm not sure exactly what job you'll end up getting, but I know where it will be; Somewhere in Iraq.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Thanks for the information. I'm going to talk with a representive in a few days to find more about the specific program at my school.

The job I want is weather officer. Most of them are stationed in bases across the world, but not in combat, which is personally ideal (of course, if they need me in combat, then I would go). That's why I want to make sure that I'd get an ideal job.

As for the social aspect in college, I'm okay staying busy. However, I'd like to meet/date girls there, and to do all that I need at least some free time.

Speaking of which, how exactly do you meet non-AF women while in the AF?

I did rotc. One year of air force, and then two years of the army program. The air force is the dorkiest branch, but also the least likely to see combat or a tour in Iraq. It's probably 15:1 male to female, and the women are not that hot. I did, however, get a gf out of rotc. She was seven years older and my cadet commander; I had to salute her and call her ma'am...during the day...but by night she got less respect from me :)
