I leave in may!
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Just joined the Air Force

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

...does not take THAT much brains. The military is generally easy to get into (not for my case), but certain jobs in any branch require more intellect than others. AF is known to be "the brains of the military" but there ARE Army MOSs that require a high ASVAB score. If your ASVAB score isn't even high enough to make the minimum score for AF, then it's like taking an IQ test and finding out you're actually retarded.
Edit: I apologize for my rudeness. Congrats on joining, work hard and don't hate it like most people who get in easy. Folks like me are working hard and jumping they hoops just to join. I have to get med waivers from a med DQ.
What's your job? How was MEPS?

f*ck female trainees if the opportunity arises (Don't get caught
I had a girlfriend who was in the Army. She said to leave one leg of your pants on while having sex so that you could jump back into them quickly in case you were about to get caught.
Good luck, StateOfMind.

"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.

Im 19. And yeah... MEPS was stupid. Running around with a folder, going to each station over and over again.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Entitled attitude? You're pretty bad at analyzing people.
Who said anything about not being humble or cool? Are you neg hitting me?
Nice quote mining there. In no way was I being ****y or sounding entitled, frankly, the opposite.

Yes I was referring to the ASVAB. All the AF dudes I've spoken with have been smart and down to earth, unlike other brances where the recruits seemed average

The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service.
Most companies either do business with the military in some way, or they have defense contractors as clients. It's nearly impossible to participate in society without supporting the military.

Costa Rica has no standing military. It is one of the most prosperous nations on the continent. I know this is subjective, but now that I think about nobody in my family or any of my friends has jobs even remotely related to the military.
War is a f*cking RACKET. Banks finance both sides and taxpayers foot the bill+interest. The idea that we cannot do business or prosper without it is ludicrous. I propose that it is more destructive to economies than we are led to believe

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Now I'm the one coughing. I bet if you investigated further, you would find that statement to be untrue. And other jobs working for the military-industrial complex don't count, like cop, prison guard, and gov't employee. Unless you're Amish, you might as well be the one pulling the trigger.

Figured I'd come out of lurker status to answer your question real quick.StateOfMind said:
I'm a Maintenance Management Analyst (currently a database manager) of close to 6 years, which is the "sister" AFSC to yours. We work close together at pretty much every base, so I can give you some info on it.
Your job involves a couple different things. There's the basic scheduling of inspection jobs, scheduled depot maintenance of the aircraft, managing the status of the aircraft (if it transfers to another base, if its broke, etc), and helping to create the flight schedules with that knowledge in mind. Lots and lots of paperwork.
Also, it's possible that you might be assigned to be an engine manager, who basically keeps track of all the engines; such as how often they've been flown, last time they were worked on, next inspection, etc. Basically the same as if you were working with the aircraft itself. I'm not sure how much paperwork is involved with this one.
That's the basic gist of the job, there's a lot more to it that you probably won't really understand til you make it thru tech school.
If you want to know anything else, feel free to PM me.

@ Chnorr The job sounds a bit fun but obviously will have much to do with paper work, im fine with that. As long as I have free time to do things i enjoy Im fine.
In general how is the Air Force REALLY like...? Most army guys here said Im smart to pick the Air Force but would never say why. Are the bases nice and are they usually near a nice larger city? And also whats your typical schedule like?
Example: Work from 7-5 etc...
I hope the job doesnt have loong/crazy hours(If it does, hopefully not mon-fri)
Thanks, appreciate the help.
