    Welcome and good luck on your continuing weight loss and working towards joining the Air Force. I'm trying to join Air Force myself, but am now playing the waiting game for a consult appointment to become available.

    Wow...good job. Not sure about u air head fly boys ;) , but I turned 21 in Marine Corps boot camp, and everyone considered me a grandpa!

    Best of luck to you, and esp your family. They are the ones who are going to make the biggest sacrifices!

    Want to wish you good luck on your journey. My son is in the Air Force, has been in since October. He just turned 24, and there were a few that were older. You’ll do great! Congrats on your weight loss and your decision to join at Air Force!

    Hello! I am currently the same weight and I also have about 15lbs left to lose before contacting my recruiter again to start the process for joining the Air Force. I’ve definitely been struggling to lose these last few pounds. My max weight for the force is 170 but I want to get to about 160-165 just so I have some leeway since weight fluctuates.
    SW: 223
    CW: 180
    GW: 160-165
