I'm looking at the Air Force as a possible career move. I now have a BA in Business Administration, but despite more interviews that I can remember I have yet to find a good job. I am become discouraged and disappointed. Eventually I will have some big student loans to pay off, and for this I will need a very good job.

I had never intended to go into the military but this is looking like a viable (albeit unpleasant) option. I need that signing bonus! Plus, if I do join the military, I will continue to purse an MBA degree.

The point of this post is not really all of the above. I just want to hear from any aspies that have been in the Air Force specifically (not other branches). And more specifically, those who went straight into officer training due to having an education.

How tough is officer basic? Is there hazing? Do you get enough food to eat and time to sleep? Is it 12 weeks non-stop or are there any weekends? How are the living arrangements?
