I know the AF is the most competitive of the branches and am looking for any ways to get ahead. thanks in advance for any advice

First thing Ill tell you is that AIR FORCE needs Come first if you are going to enlist I suggest getting a Guranteed AFSC do not go in Open General or Electrical or Mechanical GET A GURANTEED AFSC critical AFSC in the Air Force gets an SRB ask your recuriter about that, mind you SRBs Change as does critical AFSCs
Bottom line is the Recuriter is only trying to get you in if you can find someone who is actully in the AF and talk to them FYI Airforce personell are augmenting the army in alot of things IE Supply and Transportation on the ground " convoys in IRAQ and AFGANISTAN " so be prepared to be a Soilder as well...
I have nothing against any other service but I am partial to the Air Force its my alma mater how ever if I had to do it all over again I would consider the Coast Guard..
In the end you should join because you desire to serve your Country not just because no on is hiring, we want people who want to be in the service not because they Have to...
