I swore in yesterday into the Air Force and I am very excited, but nervous and would love help. I chose:
airborne battle management system apprentice,
airfield managment apprentice,
security forces apprentice,
electronic system security assessment,
aerospace physiology,
weather apprentice.
Does anyone have any advice about these jobs? or ideas for new ones... thank you so much.
I am a weather forecaster who joined almost two years ago. The tech school is 8 months which is very long compared to most other career fields in the AF. Its actually a hard tech school and has a high drop out rate. some people pick it up real easy but for most it takes a while for everything to come together because there's so much top know.
and after tech school you can only to go to one of what they call "the hubs". Davis Monthan, Barksdale, Scott, Shaw, Hawaii, or Germany. the hubs suck but everybody that comes in weather has to go to them. most hubs are on 12hr shifts and are 3 on, 2 off most of the time. and after you spend a few years there then your choices opens up to mostly any air force or army base that has a weather flight. hope that little overview helped.
