I want to be a navigator if I get accepted into OTS, or work in aerospace maintainence if I have to enlist, and will be deciding shortly. Can anyone answer these questions? What happens with your car and belongings when you move from base to base? Can you pick where you want to go? How does banking work on base? Do you need a car, as either an officer or enlisted? A few personal questions. Can you take medications like asprin or tums to basic? What happens when you have your period during training? Can you get what you need from the PX during basic? I'm one of those people who has to use the bathroom a lot, is that a problem during basic, especially during long hikes? What do pilots and navigators do on long flights? I know the astronauts use urine collection devices, do pilots and navigators use those also?

Don't enlist; especially if you want to fly. If you don't get OTS (which is unlikely since we badly need pilots) look to the airlines to become a commercial pilot.

I say this as a LT in the AF who knows SO many unhappy airmen it's unreal.
