I have decided to join the air force. Actually, I've been thinking about it since just before I finished university. I didn't join back then, because I didn't think I was ready, mentally or physically. When I came to Thailand, I pretty much forgot about joining up until now.

The whole thing has been rekindled because I want to do a MBA at Penn State; if I stayed in Thailand, I'd be retiring before I had enough cash. So the only thing to do is find a job abroad and a career in the air force seems a perfect place to develop my leadership skills.

I'm in the process of gathering my documents. Hopefully, I'll be able to send off for an application by the end of this month. It all depends on how soon my university can send me my transcripts.
