Controls nuclear weapons for the United States. Most unappreciated branch of the military. This is largely due to ignorance. Our planes are usually the first into a wartime environment to clear the way for soldiers and marines.
Many "soldiers" who look down upon the Air Force do not realize that there are many fighting members of the Air Force that are not Officers. While most of the enlisted force has noncombat duties, there are many career fields that place enlisted men in the field.
Combat Control and TAC-P are Special Forces that enter combat zones to fight alongside marines and soldiers and call in air strikes. PJs (Pararescue Jumpers) are the tip of our Special Forces, they jump into extreme combat situations to rescue Marines, SEALs, and Rangers. They have received some of the highest awards in the service, such as the Medal of Honor.
Even Security Forces (MPs for the Air Force) now have extended training on convoys and urban warfare since the war on terrorism started. Security Forces now performs convoys in Iraq and Afganistan, and conducts sweeps throughout Iraqi cities near Air Bases. The 820th Combat Security Forces Squadron were some of the first servicemen to jump into Iraq along side of the 82nd Airborne. Select Security Forces personnel also attend Phoenix Raven (advanced hand to hand combat) Training, as well as Army Ranger school
While most of the Air Force are slackers, there are a select few that are true soldiers. You will see them wearing berets and flight suits.

Get the Air Forcemug. The greatest Air Expeditionary Force the world will ever see. Capable of supplying troops with air conditioned tents in the middle east, while our fellow branches get all toasty in their "tents?". Also owner to the greatest bomber, the B-52H stratofortress. Bye bye sucka's
(Any other branch)" Hey I want some real food, lets go to the Air Force side of the desert, I heard that they are having steak and lobster."

Get the Air Forcemug. The single-most feared asset of the DoD. The Air Force has single-handedly won wars (Bosnia, Kosovo), ended wars (WW2, Vietnam), and prevented all-out wars (OIF, Desert Storm). No other branch can claim "Dominance" like the USAF. The USAF has not lost an aircraft to enemy counterparts since the 1970's. The US Navy does not have "Water Dominance" nor does the Army have "Land Dominance". However, the USAF has AIR DOMINANCE. We not only deliver Precision Guided Missiles, but we do it better than anyone. We have the best people, the best assets, and the best track record of any branch in the DoD. People are leaving the Army and Navy to join the Air Force. The Air Force is having to kick people out because everyone wants in and there is no more room. Yes, we may have A/C in our tents. So what? Do not tell me that you would prefer your tent to be 130 degrees as opposed to a nice cool 73. Never forget who softened up the Iraqi Republican Guard. Never forget who enticed the surrender of the Iraqi Army before the war even started. And, never forget who you call when you are in trouble. AIR POWER!
*Insert other branch here* Troop: Man, I wish I had a A/C unit in MY tent!
*Insert other branch here* Troop: Shit! Enemy contact! Call for Close Air Support!
*Insert other branch here* Troop: I should have joined the Air Force instead of the *insert other branch here again

Get the Air Forcemug. 1. The branch of the military that everyone wishes they had joined instead of (insert other branches here).
2. The most destructive fighting force on the face of the planet. (You won't see a marine dropping a nuke).
3. The branch of the U.S. Armed Forces with the finest looking women in all of the DoD. >_O
4. The only branch of the U.S. Armed Forces with a future in space.

Air Force Red Berrets (Combat Control Technicians) are more hardcore than the Seals, Delta Force, Rangers, any Marine, and their purpose is to save U.S. servicemen's lives.

Get the Air Forcemug. A civilian branch of the military that specializes in coffee making, sitting in chairs, and finding excuses to get out of PT. (also known as the Chair Force)

Get the Air Forcemug. The U.S.branch of service that is responsible for delivering our nuclear weapons, therefore the most powerful fucking military unit that has ever existed in the world. What's unique about the Air Force is that it is the only military unit in which the officers do all the fighting, while the enlisted men sit back and deliver toilet paper or type up memos ordering officers to their death.

Get the Air Forcemug. The most powerful and respectable service in the DoD. Often under-appreciated. Someone starts a war and the Air Force are in there before anyone else even knows what's going on. Most powerful because they can drop nukes. You won't see any Marine taking out an entire city in a few seconds. Higher fitness standards than the Navy and Army (have you seen their Basic Training recently?!) and equal to Marines. The Air Force spends more on it's airmen and women each year than any other service, boosting morale and making it more respectable. Each airman and woman is trained to the highest standard, so that they are able to operate and maintain the world's most expensive aircraft and some of the USA's most expensive equipment. The Air Force takes a casual approach to things, and still manages to get the job done better than any sailor, soldier, or Marine. Any pilot in the USAF could fly from the US to Iraq in the morning and make it back before you'd even know they were gone. Contrary to popular opinion among the rest of the services, the Air Force is not a bunch of lazy faggots who sit behind desks pushing pencils. Anytime you're in deep shit, call in the Air Force and have them drop a thousand pounder before you even have time to load your pussy assault rifle. Anyone who thinks the Air Force isn't tough is obviously an asshole because they don't know how hard each airman and woman works. They're fucking awesome. Plus they got the hottest chicks in the services ;)
CALL IN CLOSE AIR SUPPORT AND TAKE THOSE FUCKERS DOWN!
*loud screeching sound, followed by a huge explosion and a glimpse of an F-16*
Face it, the air force is frickin' awesome.
