Some people enter the military thinking it's going to be something completely different than it is and aren't willing to put in the hard work that's actually required. For instance, my husband is infantry and it requires a lot, but he's putting in A LOT of work to switch over to being a pilot. It's not simple. It's actually very hard and definitely not an easy way out or an easy life. If he's security in the AF, he's probably what would be considered an "MP" Or military police. I could be wrong, but that could help him get into law enforcement if he does get out. That's basically it though.Sue_Sceptic wrote:Yup, spot on! So is it a common thing to be in the military for what? two years tops? and then to just quit? That seems like the initial investment of training and stuff would just go to waste, right?tieruhhlynn wrote:Can I just say I was 100% right this whole time and do my bragging dance? Lol I know what it's like to be overseas. I know you don't need to be cleared by a dentist. I know they're very strict as far as children's needs go. I had a feeling she was lying from day 1,she probably just wanted to sound more interesting. As a military spouse, I know NOTHING is EVER set in stone, so I never say anything. Vanessa needs to learn a thing or two. Now if David is getting out, theeeeeen I'd be right about that plot twist I mentioned in the other thread. Also, just wanna mention, I went through leaps and bounds to get my dog to Hawaii with our family. He had to stay with my mom for six months, but I was able to get him there. He goes wherever we go, because he's family. The problem with military families is they seem to think it's okay to get a new dog at every duty station. (I have a few friends like that) and drop them. It's very confusing and upsetting for the kids.
You are correct. Army calls them military police (MP) air force calls them security forces (SF)
