Military FAQs:
What branch did you join? Air Force
How long have I been in the Air Force? 3 years
What do I do in the Air Force? I am a Medical Service Corps (MSC) Officer
Did I take the AFOQT? No. Medical AFSCs did not require it. I took the GRE to gain entrance.

Agreed. I’m pulling back on foul language and even being in spaces where there’s gossip, profanity, or unnecessary conversations in the work place . I can identify with being lonely because I think differently.
You could have stuff up but not offensive or in a solicitation of your faith.
Yess! You better say it! HIS reward is FARRRR greater!!! Hallelujah!!
Really needed this Veronica! I’m in the process of becoming an officer and this was one thing I was very concerned about because I‘m in a space where God gets all the glory for what I am doing and I don’t want to hold that back. Thank you!!
Constance Brown good luck!!! Let God shine through you! You will do well!
Dominique thank you!!
Constance Brown no problem! I hope to go from enlisted af to officer in a couple years
This is so GOOD you shared this being that I leave for basic training on the 11th & I am a young woman of faith in Jesus Christ as well. God has prepared me in this last season and this video has provided much insight! May God keep you and bless you Sis!!
I leave for basic on the 12th of next month and this is all I worry about. Being around other people who aren’t Christian and being alone 😣
Thanks for your message. I’m planning to join the AirForce and I’m a Christian and I wanted to hear someone how is it to be a Christian in the military.
Same here!!!
Did you end up joining? How did you handle the environment in regards to your faith?

This is why Christ has well declared.....26 “Anyone who wants to be my follower must love me far more than he does his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters-yes, more than his own life-otherwise he cannot be my disciple.
27 And no one can be my disciple who does not carry his own cross and follow me."
Luke 14:25-27 [LB]
Christ has declared we must LOVE our enemies not harm or kill them.
The military is for killing enemies in man's wars.
Wise Christians "Worth their salt" will stay well clear of such schools of learning to maim and destroy human life.
Christ has well warned all military murderers....."51 One of his companions put out his hand, drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; all who draw the sword shall die by the sword."
Matthew 26:51-52 (MOFF)
See how many Christians disobeyed Christ and deliberately disobeyed the Lord and hated and killed their enemies in the last two World Wars, and so millions suffered the very penalty he stated they would, and throw away their lives and any hope of eternal life in the age to come....
@@johneleacock I think the idea of joining the military forces as a christian is a tough decision
I am conflicted about joining because I’m starting my walk with Christ & I’ve been asking for confirmation from the Lord & everything & I really want to go into the Air Force but I want the Lord to confirm this step in my life.

Thank you for publishing this video! I recently enlisted in the USAF under a four-year-long contract, and I am eager to shine the light God has put in me through Christ in the military. Have you ever led anyone in the military to Christ?
Thank you so much for sharing and walking in faith 🥰
First and foremost Glory to God, and also from not only a fellow brother-in-arms but a fellow Christian brother in Christ Thank you for your service!
Thank you ... utilized this video for a seminary assignment. Thank you & God Bless. stay safe
Thank you for sharing! What an inspiration :)
Thank you so much sweetheart keep spreading the love that God has given to you ❤️.
I’m finally in tech school waiting for my classes to start.. I’m so thankful for your videos! I keep to myself so far like I talk to people, but I hear how people just drop the f bomb, gossip about others, he said she said, and some are trying to outshine others. I keep my Bible right in my desk, study the word, and continue to focus on my career. It is a bit lonely.
Praying for you sis 🙏
I don’t think there is any video better on this platform 🙏🏾 this helped me personally on another level! Thank you Veronica!
The influence I got working in the ER, changed me so much 😞 I got transferred to a Peds clinic when I PCS’d, & it’s easier not to cuss anymore, but it’s so hard with the loneliness sometimes when you really are one of the only Christians 😞
So glad I found your channel🙏🏾
Praise the Lord. I am not in military, but was considering, glad to hear you are representing Him
Thank you so much for this video !!!
Great Video✊🏽✝️
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your video it is very encouraging. I am preparing spiritually to enter the military and I want to be equipped. Although, I do not know what lies ahead I am trusting God will make a way. Also, I thank God I broke out of being religious and became more spiritual to where I've allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me.
I’m in the Air Force and it’s hard being a Christian in the military! I’m the only Christian in my shop I feel so alone sometimes but I know God is with me ❤️
I’m about to go to fort Benning in 6 days and it’s gonna be
Hard for us as Christians to find one another in a place where we can’t express our faith

@@earnestlycontendingforthef5332 the truth!
Love this video, my mom is worried that I’ll slack up on spending time with Jesus & that alone has made it difficult in my decision to join the military. Still praying about it though !!
Amen, I’m praying for boldness in my work space.. I just do little things like when some ask me if I’m scared etc... I just tell them about my God and how faithful he is. I know God will give us more courage and boldness! Jesus said “if they hate you know they hated me first”!
Love your video by the way! You are so pretty 😍😍.
Love it!
Amen Sister - there are many of us Christian women serving in the military that feel the EXACT same way - it is difficult but God chooses the strongest for the toughest assignments 🙏
God bless you and thank you for your honorable service ma'am to the USA. 😀👍
Hey Veronica, I appreciate your incites to your faith in the Air Force as well being an Officer. I am a Christian myself and am in my junior year of AFROTC. I've been asking God to guide me in my life and helping me to be confident in my faith as I go to into this new chapter of my life. I want to be a blessing to others around me and am asking God to allow me to have a hand in building his kingdom. He's revealing many things about my role in his plan. God bless and keep doing His work.
Wow...a powerful message...wow...I need to relinsten
thank you! always appreciate your love!
just doing a recent comment on the past. "Take Faith - even if its the size of a mustard seed"
I love this! Additionally, do you think there are “worse” branches in terms of negative environments? I’m considering the USMC but I’m worried that I’ll be the only spiritual Christian like how you were talking about yourself. It’s hard enough at my school (very big, rich kid, demoralized kind of school), but there are a lot of things I can see that I’d really appreciate from the military and I’m stuck. What do you think?
I’ve been wanting to join for about 5 yrs now and during that time I got married to a soldier and had a child, it’s been on my mind that I really want to join now and I asked God to help me make a decision. I know that there are negativities in the military such as the stuff you mentioned.
You rock girl
Praise God !!!
Hey can you make a video on how to study for the ASFAB ?
your very beautiful! I admire how bold you are to be the light in a dark place (:
May god strengthen you, Hon. Being a Christian is hard even when you're in the civilian life. I can tell it's harder in the military, since they curse. Shout use the lords name in vein at times.
Stay strong.
thank you for this video! I’m applying for the RAF in the next 9 months but want to still prioritise my relationship with God, guarding your heart is such a big people need to be doing, in civi life and in military service but is also one of the hardest things to do. Such a nice thing to be able to hear your story and how you find it. Praying Jesus won’t let me drift too far while I’m there ❤❤ gonna try and find people of God there if I can, but also spread the truth if I can too 🙏
You are there for a reason! You are there to defend the first amendment- how can we feel like those in uniform defending the first amendment can’t use it? God bless and thanks for sharing with everyone! Stay pure and holy. Abide in Christ.
Do people disrespect you a lot? How do you deal with people that make you furious?
People disrespect me a lot. Especially in a combat job with no other females. I'm the only person of faith that is active. And its them against me. When they upset me sometimes I do black out. It's something I've been praying about. I've learned to just say okay and not argue and do what I need to do. But then i have to deal with them asking me why I'm upset. It sucks that I have no one to vent to. I'm trying not to do that either but that's bringing me closer with God. It makes me lean on to God more. Its defintley a struggle though 😩
Girl you better speak honey! My God!
Hey Veronica, I’m in the Air Force on the enlisted side. I’ve always been kinda shy in general but especially about my faith. I’ve held onto the principles I know but I feel but I don’t feel steady enough in my faith to really live the way I think I need. What do you think made you bold and firm in what you believe?
hello! my up bringing and my personal relationship with God really makes me firm. I am saved and I love Jesus sooooo much! Nothing will separate me from Him!
@@VeronicaLuke Very uplifting video for a while I thought Brandy was now Christian
Please listen to,
What the early Christians believed about war, by David Bercot
RUclips
These were the 1st and 2nd century Christians, some were disciples of the apostles.
The question is, can you be in the military, kill your enemy, or even support killing your enemy, yet love your enemy?
See what the early Christians said about this subject. Remember, Christianity doesn't change, but man does.
God bless
I became a Christian after 11 years of service and I am beginning to feel uncomfortable in my work environment and people hardly speak to me or treat me differently, just because I am different and the only difference is that I seek to be filled with the holy spirit. It's been a long time since I wanted to get out of the Army, because I feel that I no longer belong to that type of environment, but at the same time I only need 9 more years to complete my 20s. I also don't know if God will judge me the day I have to kill in combat.
Hey, I’m thinking about joining the military too, maybe the marines , as a reserve. I’d think that God wouldn’t judge you the way he’d judge someone that robbed someone then killed then after , because you’re doing your job
How do you trust people in the military? How do you know they won't speak behind your back?
Shehinah Wilson you don’t you trust God .
Did anything happen when you refused to do what the officers told you?
I bet it's very strict on political and religious stuff in the military.
Shehinah Wilson there’s religious freedom however I’ve be taught to never speak on political, abortion and religion in the workplace. It’s not a rule but it’s an unwritten professional rule .
1 Tim 4:3-4
2Tim 4:3-4

Not all who claim they are cristians serve God
Daniel and three jewish friends in ancient Babylon: did not served graven images...
Joseph in Egypt: did not served graven images...
Mordecai and Esther, in the land of the Chaldeans: did not served graven images...
In the US, the star spangled of heaven and the bald eagle of the earth, demand worship, and human sacrifices, through the pledge of allegiance to the flag, and anthem...
The founding fathers of the nations made images of the stars, of the moon, of the sun, of birds and four footed beasts, in the likeness of heaven above, or in the likeness of the earth below, and set the graven images in the flag, to serve them...
The nations idols of wood and stone, were replaced with idols of fabric...
The nations idols are in the flags and the flags are high and lifted up on a flag pole, and those who are serving the flag are serving idols...
When the king of babylon the great played the anthem at the sound of music the Babylonians fell down to the ground and worship the statue of the golden image...
When the US plays the anthem at the sound of music the US stand on their feet and sing ol-glory to the star spangled of heaven...
The god of the US: the star spangled of heaven and the bald eagle of the earth...
The god of Israel: the star remphan of heaven Acts 7:43...
The god of Mexico: the eagle and serpent of the earth...
The god of Canada: the leaf of the maple tree of the earth...
The god of Japan: the sun of heaven...
God is not against serving in the military: God is against serving idols...
The star spangled is an image, in the likeness of the stars of heaven...
And
The bald eagle is an image, in the likeness of the birds of the earth...
Serving in the kingdom of God is better than serving in a wicked and adulterous kingdom of this world...
When you say the pledge of allegiance to the flag, you are saying spiritually:
I pledge allegiance to the star spangled of heaven, and to the bald eagle of the earth, for which it stands, one nation under two gods...
If your kingdom is not of this world, why fight for this kingdom?
If you already have liberty in Christ, why fight for your liberty?
If your weapons are spiritual, why fight with carnal weapons?
The kingdoms of this world are going to fight against Jesus, at His coming...
Nations that exalt themselves to be great: God is going to bring them down to hell...
In Exodus 20:3-5, God says: do not serve, nor bow down to idols...
The commandments of God:
LOVE GOD
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
In Jesus name
I
Powerful message. I hate that I’d join out of ignorance and desperation. I can’t wait to get out.
This is why Christ has well declared.....26 “Anyone who wants to be my follower must love me far more than he does his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters-yes, more than his own life-otherwise he cannot be my disciple.
27 And no one can be my disciple who does not carry his own cross and follow me."

Wise Christians "Worth their salt" will stay well clear of such schools of learning to maim and destroy human life.
Conscientious Christians must take the commands of Christ seriously!
What he forbids only the ignorant and foolish will pretend that they can over-rule Christ and his Apostles.
No murdering, no killing, or harming of humans irrespective of the excuses people are forever attempting to justify their desire to use coercion in a violent capacity.
Christ has made it quite plain.
"38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also".
Matthew @-39 (KJV)
How could you possible obey such a command being a police officer or in the army training to maim and kill people?
How can you love your enemy when you are busy training to kill him and as many as you can, before they kill you?
It's impossible!
The command not to kill.... is just that.
No excuses, no "Exceptions to the rule" but obedience to the Lord's command, by his faithful followers, no matter what the circumstances.
"Do not kill" "Do not murder". "But I say LOVE your enemies, do GOOD to those who hate and despise you"
How can you LOVE your enemy when you are busy training hard to injure and kill him, and as many as you can, before they kill you?
It's impossible!!!
"Jesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."
Luke @-56 (GenevaBible)
The Lord Christ again."He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
Revelation @ (KJV)
Baby, I personally think you’re in the wrong business. Just saying !
Hope your mos is working with the army priest
God’ speed

Thou shalt not kill
David did, he killed Goliath. God was with him
Thou shalt not kill, in the context that their is no just cause. ie murder
This is why Christ has well declared.....26 “Anyone who wants to be my follower must love me far more than he does his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters-yes, more than his own life-otherwise he cannot be my disciple.
