That would be awesome! Free range trip in the time of COVID is a great prize! I’m still trying to go to the range when able. Thanks for the prize!

Remember Kent State?
Well, that’s the National Guard. But I take you point loud and clear.

You follow your Commanding Officer’s orders.
You don’t have to follow, indeed you shouldn’t follow illegal orders.
If you’re fortunate, you’ll survive long enough to be railroaded by a Court’s Marshall
(and the military has a long history of railroad Court’s Marshalling when making an example is politically expedient.) Check out the sad case of Capt. Charles B. McVey III

The former coworker of mine said that he and many others were holding rifles at Air Force One not knowing the president was about to step off I mean with all the hijackings and Air Force One didn’t announce itself I mean why would it
Hello everyone again. Thanks for any and all input from respectful people such as yourselves.
Having difficulty getting in contact with Air Force recruiters. Just left a message with another one this afternoon. I have been in contact and discussing with an Army recruiter. Just completed the ASVAB a few days ago. The recruiters said I did well enough I wouldn’t be restricted much, if at all, from the ASVAB. The recruiter has mentioned and provided me some information on OCS in addition to currently available jobs. Any input on differences between enlisting versus OCS training? Why would OCS be better or worse than just enlisting for a currently available position?
Also, I will likely pursue Reserves rather than full time, for family matters. I’m not sure how that may tie into any of your input.
Thanks again for any and all input.
OCS- officer Candidate School?
If this is what you mean then go OCS. If you can be an officer to start that’s the best route for most. An LT gets paid much better than an Airman or private.

Yes, Officer Candidate School. I still have to read through all the material I received yesterday.
OCS is truly great training if your real life job is in management,
however an officer in a reserve unit generally puts in a lot of overtime putting training exercises together.
FWIW I enjoyed my time in the Army Reserve and later Guard.
Thank you for your service.

NCOs also put in a lot of extra time as well. Compensation is still much better in the reserves. But if you want to enlist then go for it. Just know that in the military there is a saying - “Sh!t flows down hill”.you can also look into becoming a Warrrant Officer (technical expert).

So what happened?
Which branch did you take the ball and run with?
Currently discussing and reviewing specific jobs primarily through the Army Reserves as the Air Force does not have the same types of positions in the computer world. Some of the job classifications are not available near me but may have some openings. Nothing official quite yet.
@FatsoJoe >> tell us what you know about the Marine Corps Fatso 
An interesting thought
