Can you legally form an employment contract preventing termination?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Can you legally form an employment contract preventing termination? For example, if I find a new position, but really would like to stay at my current one. I only looked because of mass layoffs hitting the company recently. My boss likes me and would surely make a counter-offer for me to stay.

Would it be possible to legally get them to sign a contract preventing them from "laying me off" for at least 2 years? Is there such a thing?

I would like to stay, but am fearful of current circumstances with the company.

What jobs in the US Air Force would be considered dangerous and combat related?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

No one in my family has joined the Air Force. They have either served Navy or Army. So I have decided to join the Air Force soon. However, are there any jobs that are considered dangerous, such as combat jobs? I am looking for those kind of jobs. I am aware the Air Force does not have many combat jobs, but I want to join the Air Force.
