5.0 out of 5 stars For new USAF or Air National Guard members, this is a must., December 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Airman's Guide: 4th Edition (Paperback)

If you are a new member of the US Air Force or Air National Guard, you should spend the money and buy this book. If you are sincere about wanting the most out of your "blue suit" uniformed experience and want to do the best possible job for your country, buy 2 copies and give one to someone you respect and trust. You and they both will learn a great deal.

This Book is VERY informative. Its complete with pictures, bios, history facts, and breaks down every aspect of the Air Force. If you are thinking about enlisting, or have a friend or relative thinking about it, give them this book. This book has all you need to know, and all you should know about being a NCO in the Air Force.

This is a good book for anyone going into USAF Basic Training. If you were not to read this book it would take you 6 months to a year in the USAF to learn by experience what is in this book. The knowledge in this book gives you a kick start as a basic airman.
