Admin	Joining the AF Posted : 31 Aug, 2010 09:33 AM Hello everyone! I have a prayer request and I thought since it is about the military, this would be a good place to post it :) I am hoping to join the Air Force in the near future. I've taken my test, and everything, then I was told yesterday by my recruiter that they cannot book anyone right now because they are waiting on people to go to basic training, which in turn will only happen when spaces in the tech schools are open. My prayer request is simple: That God would guide and use me according to His will, and that if His will is still for me to join the AF that I would have the patience to endure this wait, as patience is very hard for me. Sounds funny perhaps but, I am being honost! On the other hand, I want to join very much so giving up on this is not something I want to do. Also, please pray that God would help me to use this waiting time in a manner that would please Him. I'll be honost, I feel a bit useless at the moment, with just working a part time job and not going to school, I have a lot of free time. I would like to get involved in some charity work or something to help pass the time but also to serve Him. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I very much appreciate your prayers. God bless you all! Post Reply

Third, it sounds like you are on a very solid foundation. Don't forget to take Jesus with you when you go. It's the best thing you can do for yourself. :applause: Post Reply

I was so close to joining, especially after the recruiters came through my house. I fasted and prayed for God's guidance. For now, I feel that God is not done with me here yet, although I can't dismiss the idea and the possibility in the future. I asked for my close friends and family members to pray for me also. It's a great feeling to know that other people are lifting you up to the throne of God. I talked to people who were retired and on active duty. It was helpful to get their insight and to find out the different ways that your life could change by being in the military. I wish you well and keep strong in your faith even before you go in. You could be a light to the many men and women in the Air Force and wherever you go. God bless. Post Reply
