The investigation has found that 32 military training instructors allegedly engaged in inappropriate or coercive sexual relationships with 59 recruits and airmen at Lackland, according to the Air Force. Six instructors have been convicted in courts-martial on charges ranging from adultery, rape and conducting unprofessional relationships. Nine more instructors are awaiting courts-martial. Two more received nonjudicial punishments. Fifteen 15 instructors remain under investigation.
Not sure whether to put this under 'Politics' or 'Help With Life,' since it pertains to both the military and seeking some advice. Anyhow...
I've been considering joining the military for a while now, and so far after the research I've done as well as talking to a few individuals, (a couple in the Air Force, a couple in other branches of the military,) the Air Force is my first choice. I have yet to speak to a recruiter about it, and would rather talk with some others who have been or are currently in the Air Force before I do so.
This post is aimed toward any other women who have been, currently are, or are considering joining the Air Force. Why did you join the Air Force over other branches? What was life in it? What were any positive or negative experiences you had? Would you consider making a career of it, or a career after it, and if so, what?
If this pertains to you and you'd be willing to answer some questions or talk about your experiences, any feedback is really appreciated. I also understand you may not want to post your experiences right on this forum post, so feel free to privately note me as well.
Serious answers from those who are or have been involved in the Air Force or other branches of the military, please.
