First of all, the Air Force used to offer a "Buddy Program", whereby you could go through basic training with your buddies. And in some cases, even Tech School afterward. But, never did it extend beyond that. There is no guarantee, unless it's written into the contract (and it won't be) that you will be stationed together at your Permanent Duty Station.
North Dakota? That would be Minot AFB. We had a saying back in my old SAC days; "Why not Minot? Freezin's the reason!" And another thing. We were never guaranteed
where we were going to be assigned, until we were in Tech School.

Speaking as an old Air Force vet, that's the
best advice that I've seen yet. If
you want to join the Air Force, then by all means...
do it. Don't do it just to please your friends. And if you
do join, do it
after you graduate college, and go in as an officer. Life in the officer corps is substantially better.

Really?
That's my out of shape Air Force pussy ass hanging off the side of a building, two stories off of the ground, during an anti-terroism exercise at Offutt, AFB, about 20 years ago.
