Joining the USAF!!!!!

thanks for the link im calling the lt. col. tomorrow just to "ask a few questions" and if they just " happen" to ask my recruiters name i "might" say some names

 

she's talking more like body healthy, not physically fit... but you need to be top notch in both lol

you need good blood press, eye sight, hearing blah blah blah

PJ can CCT are flight status too

 

Exactly... when you have a flight physical they go through everything and that includes hearing and sight. If you have any issues from surgeries or migraines or concussions, either dont say shit or be prepared to get rejected. Im going through that shit now with my job because someone told the flight doc I had a headache.... been off status for 3 months now.

 

Flashbacks to my PRP days...do they still call it that? Nuke stuff...no self-medication, etc etc, taken off status at the drop of hat. Most irritating tour of my 26 years AD. Sorry for the old guy rant!

 

Dont put Security Forces that will trump any Spec Ops hopes.. they will see that and hit it up

 

look at it this way if you want to do a Spec Ops type job and have Security Forces as a fall back.. if worst comes to worst you wash out of Tac-P you could end up doing Sec Forces

 

always been my train of thought. sec forces is going to be my last resort.

 

yea PRP is the same thing.... sucks bad... we cant take ANYTHING without reporting it and even when they prescribe medication its normally BS

If you end up getting SecFo go K9 route... a friend does that and its an awesome job!

 

if i did that i would work the dogs cause i love dogs lol

 

You do not want to be a Gunner.

All we do is fly around low level (< 100 feet), do canyon runs, cruise the local lakes looking for hot women in bikini's, land on ships, pluck people off ridges, work with A-10's, wear NVG's, do aerial refueling, rope in high speed bubba's, hoist them out (sometimes ride the hoist for fun) shoot mini-guns at high rate (4000 rounds per minute) or the mighty ma' deuce.

..plus we save lives in peace and in war. We live by a motto:

"...these things we do, that others may live"

Some of the things you really do not want to do are featured in these videos...

Stay away from this job...it sucks! Worst job in the AF.

^ are you a Cone?

 

he's an aerial gunner

air crew member on CSAR helo's. works and fly's with PJ's

 

oh thats sounds pretty sweet....

 

damn it i wanna join RIGHT NOW

 

Good luck to you guys that went to BMT and thank you to the others currently in. I am currently at Shady J(Seymour Johnson AFB) as a tactical aircraft maintainer on the F15E, sounds like the best job in the air force till you work the crazy shifts and the heat of NC can get pretty ungodly.

 

that sounds like a pretty exciting job...whats intailed?

 

I pretty much troubleshoot problems, replace parts, do day to day inspections, and keep track of the forms for the jet.......

 

Ahhhh good ole PRP! Don't miss that!!! Nothing like sucking it up if you get sick!!

What was your AFSC? Mine was 2W2X1 (463X0) for the old timers lol

 

Yeah...fun stuff ... NOT! AFSC 1C3X1 (27 "damn" 4X0) I've become an old timer!

 

davestaco....Are you trying out for TACP? If so I can fill you in on any questions you might have....been one for a while....Regards
