Hi from the Air Force
Greetings all. I'm pretty new to regular stogie-smoking, though I've been enjoying cigars occasionally for about 13 years. My wife and I are currently living the military lifestyle, which leaves little room for long-term friendships. So I thought I'd start chatting on a site like this and maybe make a few friends

I've been enjoying cigars by Rocky Patel, CAO, 5 Vegas, and others for a while now, but lately have been getting into a lot of the Pepin blends. I recently "discovered" Tatuaje...holy Lord! Great stuff there.

I've been lurking here for quite some time, but decided to finally post. Hope you all have a great weekend, and smoke something nice!

Re: Hi from the Air Force
Been considering the Air Force too, but first waiting for a recruiter from the Dental Corps to come in. The Navy pitched their stuff well(same compensation by what I can tell).

Jedipastor, what is your opinion of "Air Force dentists? I havn't heard the greatest things about Navy dentists.

Re: Hi from the Air Force
For those considering the A.F. I would recommend it above the other branches. Nothing wrong with them either. I have 20 yrs experience as an Airman and I have truly loved being a part of Big Blue. I was against any of my kids joining but if my son told me he was I would not be mad with the current economic trends. I am not rich but I have two in college now and a third going (my son) next year. Part of the reason I am still active duty. Not to mention I have gotten to enjoy living in Europe for the past 13 years.

As for dental goes here we have one of the best dental clinics I have ever had. Dental is not a bad job either. I am a medic that retrained fro B-52 crew chief butIf i new after just five years what I knew when I first came in I would have gone 1. Radiology 2. med equipment repair 3. medic.

Oh! and welcome to the board.

Re: Hi from the Air Force
From my experience at the AFB as a civilian sub-contractor I have nothing mut good things to say about the AF. If I could go back into time I would consider that as my career path.

Ditto to all the positive AF responses here, at least so far. I mean, any government job comes with certian bureaucratic problems and forms-in-triplicate issues, but overall it's been great. We didn't want Navy just because you're at sea for so long and can't bring your family--no way! The Army is a great outfit, but those guys are soldiers and their support people (I'm guessing dental too) have to accept those conditions.

For example, in a combat deployment--even at a "base"--the Air Force will be in a hotel or some sort of building like that, and the Army will be in tents on the lawn of that building. Not a joke. That's why the Air Force gets so much crap from the other branches of service, but also one of the reasons we chose them The money might be the same, but the quality of life is higher from what I've seen.

Just my limited experience. Less than 4 years in here.
