Typically, when people think about the Air Force, they think planes and cushy jobs.
But it's much more complicated than that.
Yes, there are lots of planes.
The Air Force also has about a $140 billion budget, which is about 5 times the Marine Corps.
Because they can work in bulk.
And F-35s and F-22s aren't cheap.
Neither is truly remarkable technology.
So it's true that the Air Force plays with the coolest toys on planet earth.
But these guys and gals also get dirty.
Seriously, really cool toys.
They also fight. Yes, even on the ground.
They do a lot of missions you wouldn't expect.
And navigate some large obstacles while doing them.
There are several AIr Force special operations units.
And their Security Forces (Military Police) are some of the best in the biz.
On several different levels.
They're ready for any mission.
Of course, a lot of it comes back to unparalleled air logistics.
There's nowhere the Air Force can't go.
And they can bring their friends.
Sometimes drop themselves into some of the toughest spots.
And swim their way to success.
The work takes extraordinary focus.
And a lot of it goes in behind the scenes.
Until the time comes to drop.
They're clearly not afraid of heights.
And they're not afraid to get low, either.
They're no strangers to low-crawling through dirt, sand, and mud.
And delivering the goods.
The sun never sets on national security.
And like the other 1.4 million active duty service members, airmen remain ready.
The Air Force just gets going a bit faster.
Ultimately, no matter the branch, all troops are there for each other.
And the sacrifices are the same.
We still got mad love for the Marines, though.
