Hey guys. First of all, I'd like to say thanks to everyone of you that have been answering all my questions for the past year or so as I considered trucking. I am a corporate white collar guy with an MBA and I'm sick of it. I'm 31, married and have a 9 year old step daughter. I almost made the jump to trucking but with the way things are looking with fuel prices, just too risky. Plus, the starter companies...heck...looks like you about starve to death on the pay with those guys like Swift. Ok, I'll get to the point now. My wife was medically retired from the Air Force. She was enlisted and she missed it. After much thought, research and questions, I have decided to join the Air Force. With my degree and background, I'll be going in as a 1st Lieutenant. Over the past 6 months, I have been pushed by a higher force to serve and protect (considered Police officer as well) so I feel that I need to do this. I want to put in 20 years and be done when I'm 51. My family and friends are pretty surprised!
Good luck to all of you guys and be safe out there.
