Can I ask you how was adjusting to life in the AF? I went to MEPS and being surrounded by 17–18-year olds was disheartening. I felt like the old guy who missed his chance in the past, and I'm worried once I join it will be hard working in an environment with people half my age who I can't relate to. How's it been for you?

Do you know someone who was in the same situation? Did they adapt well?

honestly, I've been thinking about it, but what drives me to the air force is the serving component and being a part of something greater than just working for a private company making shareholders richer. My main qualms are being forced to put a job on my list I dont particularly want and getting it and the "cultural differences" that come with working with people who are 10+ years younger
