What if you're afraid of heights?
I'm pretty sure the jobs that are in the aircraft are small....pilots,and aircrew..
And you need to be a commisioned officer to pilot an aircraft.

I just got out of the AF in November. I moved to Chicago and got a job literally within the first two days I was here. The guy that hired me was Navy, those benefits 
. I lived in DC for two years, Europe for two years, got to travel, made great friends, paid off all my debt, I could go on. I never deployed or went to war and I was in for five years. No complaints except you sometimes have to work for a$$holes but where is that any different? People always talk about I don't like people telling me what to do, well unless you are a dictator IDK where you're going to work. I enjoyed myself and the AF afforded me a lot of opportunities I wouldn't have had. Most of my friends haven't left where they were and they're stuck. Don't let people discourage you if you want to do it. It was worth it IMO. If you want to know anything let me know!

No job, doing crappy in school, broke, unmotivated and have no idea what I want to do in life.
Army, Navy, Marines? Any one have some experience in these branches?
I don't know breh shyts depressing. I need some purpose in life and I don't think I'm cut out for this academic shyt. Any advice for a young breh?
As someone with a few years in your attitude would not make this a good move for you...Don't join because you can't make it on the outside join because you want to do something different...No one in any branch wants someone who may be suicidal joining up...every branch has pros and cons and stuff will not go your way so if you already feel depressed rhis may not be the lifestyle you want.

Ok, list other opportunities then
Advice on Navy jobs.
I'm currently going in undesignated.
NEVER GO IN UNDESIGNATED!!! Seriously, you need to go tell them you want a guaranteed job or
I was supposed to be an airborne linguist, guaranteed. Through no fault of the AF (I didn't get my TSS) I ended up getting shafted and got stuck with a medical job I didn't want. It turned out to be alright, but it could have sucked and I could have been a cop or something shytty. You never know and since you will be committed you should at least do something you can tolerate.
Are there any benefits for going in with a bachelor degree?
You could qualify to go to Officer Training School and come out as a Second Lieutenant. They make close to 3K a month plus benefits.
Really?I would not lie sir:

A bachelor's degree can help you get into a rated or non-rated officer position. Officers start out at O-1 and are automatically promoted to O-2 after two years, then O-3 after that in another two years.

Navy, you'll go to Japan and a bunch of other places.. homeboy enjoyed itAir Force first..they treat their people better..
Army,Navy after that...
I have experience with the Navy, alot of my friends went Army though....you'll have a better shot at advancing there than in the Navy. Though if you just looking to save money,and get ya gi bill then the Navy isn't bad at all.
If you're thinking about joining the military:
1) Research the branches and find a job you would like to do.
2) Study and get the best damn ASVAB score you can to give yourself freedom of branch and job opportunities.
3) Get ready for a hell of a ride. If you play it right, shyt can turn your life around.

The only jobs I know in the AF that are constantly in the air are pilots, loadmasters and AE (medical career).
Other than that, you will work on the ground.
