Military DEP: Who else?

[Cain]

I made this thread about the US Military DEP. I am pretty sure every branch has a DEP program, and I am in the USAF Active Duty DEP, and was hoping to maybe find some other DEP'ers in this forum, hopefully their is some others.

Here is some information on the DP: The Military Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP)

haha, I have seen a lot of people lately going in at like 25-26 although its usually for the money and not for pride or self-service. Whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Honestly, I needed a job. But I kept re-enlisting because I loved serving my nation...and on 1 March, I'll be a civilian again after 20 years.

I wouldn't trade it for anything. My thanks to you for your interest in serving. You and the United States will both benefit.

Oh, are you getting the 20 year benefit that everyone I talk to is insanely in love with? I heard it's a really good deal.

Thanks, I plan to stay in for a career, I really just am not made for anything else. I am only good at teaching & farming, both of which take years to achieve, and farming is only what I want to do later on when I settle down at a spot.

Yup. Pension, TriCare, eligibility to be buried in a national cemetary, all that good stuff.

Nothing wrong with teaching or farming. What's your AFSC?

I am going to stay in 20 at least, but I am actually hoping maybe 25-30. Although, who knows what the future holds.

They haven't assigned me one yet, but I am hoping to ask to take the Special Forces Exam thing, where you can qualify for their jobs. My main hope is Security Forces, but if that fails I am shooting for Fire Protection.
