I was a genuine AFD [Air Force Dependent, for those who don't know] and spent time overseas in Europe with my spouse and children. I'm the niece of an Air Army B17 pilot, sister-in-law of an AF enlisted man, and the mother of a potential flight surgeon [she's not sure of her posting yet]. Although I was never officially "active duty", I did learn a lot about the Air Force.

If your daughter understands authority and can follow directions without arguing, she may fit well with the Air Force. If she is a totally independent thinker, it may not be such a good fit. She also has to be able to put up with some foolishness too--any large structural organization has its crazy moments.

Do get everything in writing as far as the type of job she is looking at--or she may end up doing almost anything north of the arctic circle.

One nice thing about the Air Force is that you don't have to coordinate your clothing for work everyday--the choices were made for you.
