Thinking about joining the military..

I'll tell you Air Force is an easier basic training, shorter deployments, better digs, and much better employment opportunities after you get out.

Ok, substantiate "much better employment opportunities".

It all depends on what you did in the AF, or any other branch. 6 years experience in the AF can get you 80-90k/yr after leaving...depending on what you did...and where you're willing to relocate to...

This reply makes a previously very specific statement very vague. It is the job, not the branch. Just as one example, Navy nuclear reactor technicians and officers do quite well in the civilian sector. Another would be nurses and doctors in any branch. Also, the Navy flies as many or more planes than the AF, so there is the aviation sector as well. The comment came off as being in the Air Force will net you a better job over the others simply by virtue of being in the Air Force, and if that is the case, I want to see proof.
