El Salvador did not have sufficient industrial technology for making powerful arms to fight against the communist threat or against the guerrilla. Cuba also helped the guerrilla by training people for fighting against the government, etc. USA did not want the communism to spread in Latin America, and El Salvador was in danger, according to the American intelligence. So the United States did get involved in the war, and Cuba did it too. The war lasted 12 years, from 1980 until 1992, so as you can imagine, there is a lot of information about this war on the Internet, and you will not have problems for finding tons of documents about it. But remember that every person saw the war from a different point of view. Some people think the guerrilla was right, and some other people think that the government was right. So you could find biased documents, and probably even lies about what really happened. Read from a lot of information sources, and don't believe 100% the first thing that you read.

I think you mean what is a term of service like. And it is different for each branch of service. However, as you are considering the AF you should know that the AF is the easiest as far as physical training goes. also you aren't treated badly at any time. The AF doesn't play that way. Check out the official site and some of the unofficials like www.military.com. Also if you are planning to enlist, talk to a recruiter from each branch. You may think you want to join the AF but until you talk to a recruiter from each branch, you are not making a fully informed decision. Good luck!

ROTC is if you want to be an Officer and they do get deployed more then your standered Enlisted. Officers start off at higher pay grades do though. if decide to join one of the forces i suggest doing it you junior year as that is about the soonest you can sign up with a little parental concent. During the recruitment proccess you will have to do alot of paper work and they will make you exercise alot to make sure you are ready for all the physical stuff you will be doing in your BCT. Its not that bad and its not as bad as you see in the movies just alot of yelling most of the time. After you sign your contract you will have to wait for your spot in BCT which veries in time. it usually only takes a month or two. As for seeing family and your girlfriend it is a little trying at first but distance makes the heart grow fonder and if you go in the airforce then when you get out of your BCT then you both can move to your duty station together (at your expence) if you are married then the AF pays for your family to come with you i.e. your wife or kids. They dont really treat you that bad in BCT or Tech school, they yell alot and its really just cause they want you to be tough and able to handle any kind of combat environment. They really help you prepare for the whole proccess of getting signed up and getting there so you will know ecactly what you are getting into b4 you even sign the contract. All you really need to do is talk to a recruiter and they can answer any question you will come up with, without a comitment.
