Unfortunatelly, we are all getting shot at over there, so don't think the AF or Navy or that much safer. The best thing (if you can call it a "best thing") about the Air Force is that the deployments are"only" 6 months. The last time I was in Iraq, I was taking care of 20 year old soldiers that were on their 2nd 15 month deployment. Now there are guys that are on their 3rd or 4th. Speaking as a long-term player, when my boys are old enough to ask me about the military I will advise them to look elsewhere. I am proud of the time I've served, but I wouldn't join for lack of a better job.
