Would you reccomend it? I'm 22, not a retard, and have an associates degree and a very low level state government job making 10 dollars an hour. I think I'd want to do 4 years then go back to school.

>>28705505
It's a good place to be. It's pretty lax and an easy living for the most part. Navy would be a close #2.
I did my four years, saved up 40 grand. That opened some doors that were otherwise shut without a 4 year degree. Now I'm doing what I love and own my own business.
>>28705505
Ask me your questions.

I got out just as they were transitioning to that uniform.
If I ETSed a month or two later, I'd have needed to buy one of those.

Nonner alert.
>>28705875
They're not as nice as BDUs. I'm an aircraft mechanic and these show dirt and hydraulic fluid stains much more. BDUs actually camouflaged to shit.
BDUs were comfortable more than these
>>28705896
The fuck is a nonner??
>>28705901
That's too bad. I really did like my BDUs and how they looked.
I was in intel, so I wasn't dealing with fluids and greasing things so it didn't really matter in that regard.
The comfort thing would bug the crap out of me though.
>>28705909
>doesn't know what a nonner is
Hello finance.
>>28705875
They weren't mandatory until sometime in 2011, IIRC.
>>28705924
Intel checking in, never heard this term either
>>28705896
Lol whatever you say bro
>>28705924
The guy you replied to is a fucking civilian dipshit stop being a edgy sperglord
>>28705926
Really? I got out in Oct 2008.
I guess they must have pushed back the deadline to wear them.
It was a mismatch of BDUs and whatever they called the new ones for about year before I got out. By the end, just about everyone had the new ones. I would have too if I wasn't getting out.

>>28705950
Yeah, it got pushed back due to manufacturing issues. It's nice never having to iron or shine anything.
Now I'm just waiting for OCPs to get approved for wear stateside. ABUs are ugly as sin.
>>28705988
Oh God. Sorry man, that sounds hellish. What the fuck did you do to deserve that.

I'm surprised, because barely anybody didn't already have a pair when I was getting out in 2008.

>>28706004
My one week and one weekend a month in the field would like a word with you.
So would my fuck fuck games, and my dumbass private's DUI call backs.
Anyways op to answer your question it can be good or bad depending on how you make it. Don't go in as anything that has the word open in the tittle. You'll come in already with some rank just for that associates degree.
I'm a c17 crew chief so I can answer some maintenance questions
>>28705977
>maintenance
>pog
Pick one
>>28706013
Heavy maintenance. Fighters get weekends off
>>28706032
You get to go camping and shoot shit once a month.
>>28706052
I can and will pick both, and not lose sleep over it.
It's cute that you think that though.
>>28706062
What airframe you on?
>>28706062
What base Jesus I'm a heavy and I work 5 days a week 8 hours a day
>>28706030
My Base is actually really low on manning for my job, and nobody is reenlisting. All the leadership is getting old.
I wonder if I can swindle some sort of fat bonus out of them. I got $20k for signing up the first time, and they're in a worse place now.
>>28706064

>>28706094
Fug man I'm sorry that sounds like shit
>>28706097
I'm fucking aware
>>28706080
Of all the E5s in my AFSC, 4 said they're reenlisting. They sent guys to the 4 bases we're at to do personal interviews and try to figure out why everybody is jumping ship.
They've been really good at completely ignoring our complaints so far.
>>28706085
First airframe was kc-10 magical mpf email says im cross training. C17. All my soare time at work has gone into smoking
>>28706116
I'm at McChord so it's none stop rain here plus like 30-40 degree weather
>>28706101
Just join the USAF as some lame nonner job, go to school the whole time and join the PD.
I went through the hiring process for the Pennsylvania state police and got disqualified because I said I smoked pot when I was 15.
They look at military service as all the same. You don't need to be an MP. And most MPs hate their life since they just check Ids at the gate all day
>>28706094
Do you know a tsgt gilsen? He's a full time reservist for the C5s over at dover, he's in GAC.
>>28706101
Do not. Join as. An MP. You will hate your life unless you go CID, K9 or SRT.
And all that shit takes time.
>>28706124
Blaze it nigga
>>28706135
I flew through McCord. Pretty nice downtown area in Tacoma. C17s are Gucci maintenance tho
>>28706135
Blue silver or backshop?
>>28706101
Maintenence will give you some trade skills but it can suck ass if you don't get the right base/ airframe
>>28706147
The K9 shred shows up on the retraining advisory a lot. He'd be better off joining as some pointless job and cross-training into it.
>>28706101
>MP
unless you want to hang yourself I would suggest choosing a different job in the armed forces.

>They've been really good at completely ignoring our complaints so far.
Sounds about right.
As a 1N4 there is a lot of high paying jobs on the outside which is why everyone is jumping ship. Why stay in when you can make $80k+ starting?
>>28706116
I wanna say this is 167th, but I think they already got rid of their C-5s.
>>28706140
Yes I know him
>>28706137
question. did you tell them you smoked pot or did someone else tell them? i heard only admit what they can prove (things that are on record).
>>28706167
Oh thats cool, im a blooser
>>28706135
I grew up on McChord while my dad was stationed there. Fucking loved the area; Mt Rainier and St. Helens were awesome.
>>28706160
Exactly my point. Pretty sure the only one you HAVE to have an MP mos for is SRT
>>28706187
What shift I'd be down with meeting a /k/ammdo
>>28706194
>yfw it's your NCOIC
If anyone here is a USAF ATC or knows one, how is the free time? I like the field and want to get into it, but I want to make sure i at least have enough 'me' time
>>28706194
Regular old days. I'm going to the range today after work.
>>28705977
Zoomie Intel weinie here. The wrench-turners like to pretend they're better than people who don't work on the flightline. Don't know why. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a super-POG, and I've actually been in combat.
>>28706220
As far as ive heard from tower guys its not so bad, its just like any other job in the af youll love it or hate it but youre stuck with it
>>28705924
Ex-chairforce. LRSfag.
...yeah what the fuck is a nonner?
What about the Coast Guard?
>>28705505
Join the navy. Then you won't have to worry about getting screwed over when pay day comes around due to budget cuts.
>>28706248
Alright then, I was just worried i'd be locked up in a tower 12 hours a day
>>28706578
Im sure it will happen. I dont actially know hours and scheduling just the general sentiments of people who work there
>>28706578
Oh and i remember hearing tech school is pretty long. Definitely over a year maybe two? Again just what ive heard
>>28706189
I love it here except for how far I am from home
>>28706194
Fug don't have my car yet
>>28706257
It's POGs calling POGs, POGs
>>28706771
I just pcsd about a month ago
>>28706771
>>28706791
I do, so thats not that big of a deal, just would have to meet somewhere
>>28706052
Are you fucking kidding dude
1. everybody not an 11b, 11c, or 03xx series is a POG, because there are a person other than grunt
2. POG is a descriptor, not an insult. Only retarded boots and civilians think it is an insult.
130 crew chief here, prob not reenlisting, shit has gotten way too retarded, trying to knock out my bachelor's and a&p before I get out.
>>28705958
Good luck getting anything accomplished without the LRS
What jobs should I be looking for?
Don't wanna be stuck in an office and don't wanna do maintenance.
If I could be outdoors and get to shoot shit that'd be nice.
>>28707167
Army
>>28707167
Army
>>28707167
spec ops (PJ, TacP, sowt, sere, cct)
not eod, cause they're mostly faggots, especially the ones who go to sheppard, wash out and get retrained into maintenance.
>>28706234
>>28706234
>>28706234
You faggots sit in an office all day and complain about the air conditioning and how you didn't get to do anything fun on your Arbor Day vacation you got off. Or when the base is shut down for a blizzard and you complain about how difficult it is driving to work in the snow, when there's a maintainer standing in the blizzard doing a tire change. Or towing an aircraft , or removing a cowl door or refueling the mission bird soaked from a rain storm or cooking outside in the humid ass summer heat for 12 hours. You fuckers have no struggle but complain all fucking day.
Whenever you are breathing, there is a maintainer somewhere working, always.
>>28707160
Yeah I know, you guys shut down over the holidays and we can't order fucking parts
>>28707167
Loadmaster
Best job in the airforce.
>>28707243
Supply might. POL is out there same as you.
ammo to special missions aviation
all my suicide left my body when that gau opened up
>>28707176
>>28707180
I've considered army, may still go with them
>>28707219
>>28707264
Is it hard to get into cct, sowt, tacp, or sere?
>>28707305
easy to get in, hard to pass indoc
>>28707167
Not the Air Force, basically.
I'm pursing TACP right now. I've been working for it for like half a year now?
>>28707279
Those feels,I know them brother
>>28707313
Sorry for the stupid question, but what's indoc?
>>28707289
Special missions aviation is cool. For non USAF dudes curious, special missions aviation is the guys who operate the guns on the side of black hawks who drop off the PJs and CCT guys into warzones. If you wanna see action in the USAF, this will do it. U can't go spec mission aviation (2A9) from the recruiter though, it's only SRA and up
>>28707326
The first like 12 weeks of USAF special forces. Lots of rucking, running, and sprinting . There's like a 90% washout rate (failure rate/quit rate)
>>28707318
I'm fucking telling you guys, be a fucking load master.
You will see every fucking continent in your first year of flying
>>28707347
Ok, thanks.
>>28707363
I'll look into it, sounds nice
>>28707388
The recruiter will tell you that there's like a year wait for Loadmaster. Fucking wait for it, it's easier to get your dream job out the gate then to cross train to it later on
So many Non flying mother fuckers.
side note.
>>28707363
Crewing in the army is honestly Hard Work. You will have no such thing as a set scheduled. I'm assuming the Air force treats their people substantially better.
>>28707333
i got in A1C but put on SrA in the pipeline. Very rare coming from basic and youll basically be restricted to the guy who loads the guns in gunships/ NGAvs. imagine the guys in tanks that dont shoot the guns. but in a plane
Air force living is really good, anyone saying otherwise is jsut at a bad base/shop. maintainence sucks but theres alot of commradeire for sure.
>>28707264
I see this a lot, is this a meme? What's great about it?
>>28705957
Dirtbag
>>28707449
loadmaster is not a meme. if youre one of the "joined for traveling" people then this is the top tier enlisted job
>>28707440
Real talk. Yes we get more funding and "treated better"
But the people in the airforce who actually work have a horrible work life. I'm not fucking saying it's the same as getting shot at in the army, I'm just saying it's not worth fucking $37,000 a year
>>28707305
Yes, extremely. PJ indoc is basically the hardest in the armed forces, you are doing THE most physically difficult program in the armed forces while simultaneously doing SOCM. CCT and SOWT are easier but still have steep washout rates of like 60-70%, I think TACP is just over 50%. SERE is like 75% washout I think and it's not even special ops, it's a regular enlisted job.
>>28707495
Fucking water harassment bro. If you know what I mean, say no more
>>28707459
What is it that makes it good?
>>28707525
one of my buddies is here in school because he blew out an eardrum doing watercon to be a CCT. He said it was fortunate he loved being in the water because everyone but him was having a bad fucking time.
>>28706861
Bx work for you? I got off about 4 today
>>28707495
What happens to those that fail? Do they just have to choose a new job or what?
>>28707473
Real Talk.
Getting "shot at" was the best part.
>>28707279
Who the hell is POL?
>>28707602
yeah most of them get reclassed, unless they got fucked up super bad, in which case they'd get a med boarded.
>>28707554
Load masters are responsible for loading cargo on aircraft and they fly with the aircraft and download the cargo wherever it's going. Flying with the aircraft let's you see many many countries

I think I could do without those.
>>28706140
Any opinions on a QA E5/6 by the first name of Brenton?
>>28707602
You get a new job. If you did pretty good you might get a list to choose from, if you were a shitbag it's needs of the air force
>>28707654
he's QA so fuck him

Yeah.
If you want to know what being a nonner in the AF is like, think of an office.
An office where the bosses are a little insane and abusive because they haven't gotten laid even once in their life, and they're approaching wizardom, and you can't leave.
Office hell you can't leave.
Fly high, so you can pee dirty and get the fuck out.

>>28705505
OP, it will be a great experience if you avoid maintenance career fields and security forces. I loved it. 8 years, I miss the environment all the time.
Oh yeah, you will do a bunch of bull shit and get treated like a child the entire time. You'll paint trash cans, do janitor work, and fill sand bags. If you get into maintenance, just try to make the best of it.
In summation, YOLO - DO IT. Being a vet with the GI bill is awesome.
>>28708438
It's not worth 4 years of your life.
Take it from me. You're going to hate it.

>>28709353
When I got my DD-214 I just walked off the base and walked down the highway to the base.
Fuck Lackland.
Fuck lackland, fuck medical records, fuck Health Services, fuck your hurt knee fuck everything. Fuck San Antonio and it's one tourist trap.
I thought I was going to see the world, I went to the god damned "gateway of the airforce" and stayed there for 4 god damn years in a tiny office.
Those poor poor med hold kids also. One poor guy was there for 8 months and the Air Force forced him to overdose on pain meds for like 6 months because bureaucracy, and caused liver cirrhosis, turns out the damage caused cancerous cysts upon healing.
The air force literally gave him cancer, simply because he broke his foot.

Doesn't it take like 10 years to earn the GI Bill in the guard though?
>>28709646
Wut no
>>28709635
>>28709627
Depends on airframe. Some fighters are stationed overseas, c-5s and c17s fly from state side locations to theater in back in about four day missions. Fighter jets deploy as a squadron, generally like six months states side in someplace like Luke or Davis Mothan then go to a base over seas for deployment. Tankers deploy to the deed. (Al udeid)

What do you do? I'm going to sign papers this month and I want to make a informed choice.
>>28710274
There's different shops within the career field, but the most prominent one would probably be Conventional Maintenance (shop I'm currently in). You'll build and maintain munitions to support the flight line and it's needs. Along with everyone else on base who needs munitions such us cops and EOD.
What you build and how much you work depends on what aircraft the base you're stationed at flies.

That one is military wide
Former B1 maintainer. Go enlisted air crew, travel for 4 years, have fun, get out and go to school if you still want to. Don't wait till your in, hate your job, and want to cross train. Just go for the gold now
>>28707233
Wait, so you're a POG?
>>28709894
Exactly.
My dumbass didn't hold out for NDI I went open mechanical and to chief lawn darts.

Same guy, when I went through prior service guys were put on the osprey and hh60. I don't think that you can be put on a gunship. You fill out a dream sheet for aircraft preference and base but its really the needs of the air force. There's NSAv too which pays well because of all the per diem you get.
I just hit my two year mark on the 14th of this month, and I have been in pipeline status the entire time, and I have a year left to go before I can go to my operational squadron. I am a 1A8x1 so you can't ask me everything ;)

Same 1a9 guy that's been responding to anons. If you want work in aircraft and do cool shit, go 1a9. For tech school you'll go to lackland for about 2 months of 3 level school, then SERE after that, and then whatever base you get trained on your airframe. Gunships go to either hurlburt or cannon, but the pipeline for cannon was backed up when I went through so all of the non priors went to hurlburt. Ospreys go to Kirkland for airframe training I believe and hh60s go to either ft rucker or moody, I don't remember. They moved the TACP school house to lackland as well, I don't know how their training is aside from being physically demanding obviously. My old man was a TACP and he really enjoyed it, he was deployed quite a bit, but you'll be deployed a lot as a 1a9 as well. 1a9 is still a developing career field and I'm sure some other niches will find their way in like NSAv did. I don't know what the training is like for NSAv, but you get a shit load of per diem and you can get out and work for L3 and make a lot of money. The 1a9 instructors are good too. Sgt Bossy is the coolest kid I know

Went to sere with a guy in tacp. He was in the battlfield airmen element, and he had only been in a year and was finished with school, so if you want "easy" special operations tech training, tacp is the way to go.

Make me. Why would I when I have 9 sets of ACU and 6 sets of the old Multicam?
Friendly advice: The Air Force has no morale or Camaraderie. If you are looking for the closest thing however, hang out at the smoke pit at work. Smoke, dip, hell just hang out with everybody there and it'll be the closest to morale you'll come in the Air Force. Just don't vape, fuck those faggots
>>28711822
If lakewood is a hellhole, you are a precious little boy.
Anyway, I spend about half my time I went AF instead.

Depends what you get. Although, it can be fun and the people are cooler, you'll get shafted a lot and blamed for things. You'll be treated like a child by people who know your airframe less than you do
>>28711894
Because the new multicam is fucking sexy and you'll be high speed thats why
ACU is ugly as shit you know it
Although somebody will probably just end up stealing it

ATC here.
I enjoy looking down on you maintainer plebs from my A/C equipped tower as you do your FOD checks when its 100+ degrees out.
Y'all are there when I show up, and you're there when go home after my 6 hour shift because I get late ins/early outs because I'm a 5 level and getting a 5 level on ATC isn't just passing a fucking test.
There is a reason we don't get our badges until you complete OJT. Shits tough. Most people washout and get to explain to their friends why they aren't in the air force anymore.
Oh and the FAA has a manning crisis so half of the people at my work already have jobs lined up for the second they get out. 6 figure job as a 24 year old with 0 college? Sign me the fuck up senpai

Sounds about right, you remember his name?

Not anymore, couple years ago and it was pretty generic
I'm just waiting to ship out for basic.
What are some of the best bases you guys have been to?
>>28713590
Guard guy here:
McChord and Eglin were cool, with great areas around them. (grew up there)
Lackland fucking sucked (summer BMT)
Goodfellow was alright I guess.
McConnell was nice. I could hear the airfield from my room in TLF; I fucking love hearing aircraft engines.
Langley has fancy toys but right outside the gate looks like a ghetto
I might be getting a TDY to Rammstein in a few months, I've heard good things about it.
