The Air Force has much stricter recruiting requirements at last I knew.
I know a mother of 3 that just enlisted in the Army and is shipping off to basic this week. Should have no issue with the Army and 6 kids. I think you have to show who will care for them though while you are deployed or in basic and school, tech school in the AF, not sure what the Army calls it.
I am 30..I have 6 kids..I wAnna join military that's my dream..since I was akid.. what can I do.. I really wanna join military..pleaseven help..
Most of the dreams stay dreams if you decide to have 6 kids. Why would you want to put so many into this world and then join the military and get deployed all the time? That doesn't make sense. Stay home and take care of your kids. Did you ever watch a youtube video how children suffer when their parents get deployed or when they return? HEART BREAKING.
I worked for a daycare where some military kids went to. They suffered many months when their dad left them, they felt guilty and wondered if they did something wrong to make him leave. When they finally started to behave normal again, their dad came back and messed their mind up again. Same scenario then half a year later when he left again.
Do not put 6 (!!!) children through that. If you wanted to join and fullfill that dream, you should have kept your pants closed.
Also, the pay is not that great if you are just enlisted. You will have problems feeding your whole family. Get a "real" job that has you home in the evenings.

She probably had to sign over her rights. Even back in the 1980s I remember one single mom in my basic that had to do that before they let her in.
I guess they can get them back later?? Maybe she is going guard or reserve?

Probably?
They have to guarantee that there is someone to take care of the child in the event the parent is not able due to assigned duties, etc. It is common. It's not like you make it sound. Someone has to take care of the child. It is up to the parent to declare who will take care of the child in the event.

Not exactly signing away your rights. There is a document that has to be filled out and signed with a short-term care-giver (30 days or less) and a long term care-giver (over 30 days). Kids are no excuse for fulfilling your military duties.
Somehow I don't even believe you. 30 with 6 kids and you've always dreamed of being in the military? Or have you always dreamed of someone else taking care of you financially. It's not exactly a walk in the park.
