i can only think of 3 jobs off the top my head right now if you were to go in as a enlistee and start off with a 60k+ salary after getting out, crash fire rescue , nurse, and any job you get in the intel field.
I'm sure some brehs on here will give a better answer to your question, since i've only been in for almost a year.
Where you get stationed depends on the job some jobs can go anywhere some jobs have like 5 bases available (nukes)... Combat jobs..tacp CCT pj etc mandatory 6 year contacts hard AF to make it all the way through the 2 year pipeline if you fail you would be put into another job. Don't join the AF to shoot shyt bruh..
Contracting..logistics.. medical. Electricians HVAC dirtboys....comm... The majority of afsc's have a direct equivalent civilian job... Just do your time and get the certs in your career field

.....good times
Four years, AF, and you have a great opportunity. 2 years you have a 100 percent of your GI Bill. That's 36 months of education, books, and housing for college. You gotta be smart, especially if you are black black. You can c00n yourself to the proper circles, all depends where your morals are. If you looking to make it career though, do six. Gives you a better chance to get overseas. I spent 3 and half overseas, and the experiences changed my life.

You have to have a plan going in the military, I can only speak on Army life. If you are chasing a big salary coming out after 4-6 years of service then you must be completing a Bachelors combined with Industry certification; while utilizing the military connection network. The military will attempt to get in the way of that, but if you are about your shyt...it won't matter. As an example, I am currently on an OCONUS rotation "deployment"...and literally took an online proctored exam yesterday in the middle of my sleep time. I keep my eyes on the prize.
Younger brehs will burn the first 3 years away on fukkery, hoes, and shoes tho.... I did. Until I ran across a mentor that set me str8.
The one big benefit is the ability to start a 401K/Savings fund instead of accruing debt at this early juncture in life.

CTN most definitely
Knew one cat that was getting out and had a texas gig for 90k
Thats why I laugh at the dude in here acting like CTN is fukking easy (even though he isn’t one)
I’m literally like what
No IT job starting at 90k is easy

It depends on your job and orders but it’s not impossible
If you wanna play GI Joe or go overseas in the AF they will definitely send your ass if you want it that bad.
My roommate was AF and he went to Afghanistan all the time. And when he was off he hopped Mac flights to other countries for next to nothing
Dint think you’ll get to SD if you Airforce. I think thats more Marine and Navy city.
Combat jobs are the easiest to get if thats what you want. Or just go Army/Marine like others have said and do grunt work

Bro I was literally an ACTUAL IT
I spent most of my entire career around IT, IS, and CT rates and their equivalents in other branches
If it’s that easy you should definitely do it. CTN school is 6 months.. go for it
Air Traffic Controller, Contracting, IT/Comm. With Comm just make sure you do your certs and shyt while your in there.
