How I did it: I talked to a recruiter, at the time had to gain a little weight because I was under weight, & I started working out to prepare my body for basic training. I studied ranks & insignias & talked to others older & wiser than me who had been in the military - listened to their advice.

Lessons & tips: Don't let the "boot camp" part scare you!! Once you get through that part, the Air Force is just like a job. It's not like you're going to have someone yelling at you all the time so don't let boot camp get to you!! It's just a mind game to break you down - to build you back up. Just listen, do what you are told, & remember the reasons you joined.

Resources: Family, pamphlets from the recruiter, & the internet - I don't remember which sites - just research whatever your concerns are. :)
