Hello All,

I am new to the nest. I was looking for website that could help with questions and even have some people to relate to. My Finace is currently at the Air Force Academy and we are trying to plan our future and well I do not know much about the Air Force and what to expect. I was hoping some of you could help or have any advice on anything import I may need to know. Thank you!

  • Hi and welcome.  There is a button in my siggy that will lead you to the MN FAQ page.  There is a ton of info there that you may find useful.  Also, lurk around here.  You will get a feeling of what the life of a service member's spouse is like.  Keep in mind that we all have different expiriences.  Feel free to post any questions you may have.  This is a great group of women.

  • What year is your F? My H went through USAFA a few years ago, so I could probably answer any specific questions you have or at least comisserate lol. I think there are a few other academy spouses around, I dont think there are any grads hanging on here, but I could be wrong.

    It does get crazy fast. 

    H went through the AFA as well. We also dated while he was there, I'd be happy to help with any questions. 

    As for what your future looks like, it depends on what job/assignment your FI gets. If he wants to fly and gets a spot I can give you an idea of what training/life will look like. 

    Edited: to fix use of your :) 

  • Hi there.  H is a grad, and so is my brother, so I know a little bit about the place you're in now.  Is there anything specific you want to know?
  • What is his major? I know they don't get their official orders until later, but what does he want to do?

  • What does your screen name mean?

    Although you didn't exactly do it, one of my favorite Freudian slips is when someone refers to their fiance as their Finance.

    I assume its Air Force and the year he/they graduate from College

  • Yes he is hoping to fly!
  • He wants to fly, but he is majoring in Civil Engineering.
  • It stands for Air Force and the year I graduate from College
  • Are you joining the AF too?

    No
    Oh sorry. I got confused. We have a lot of "Airmen" running around here lately.

  • That wasn't a dig at you. ETA Cupcake, when I re-read that, I did sound bossy. I should have just pointed out that that poster isn't an Airman.
