Would you recommend your job? I was originally going to the army but my friends little brother recommended the Air Force so I’m trying get into avionic work

Yes sir, Avionics is a great career field. Long schools but you learn a wealth of knowledge especially in today’s technology updated aircraft and drones. Whatever you choose, always do your best and you’ll make it. You seem pretty sharp, maybe look at an Officer career, Pilot. Good luck and safe days to you and your Unit.

Thanks for the support! Do you have any AFOQT tips? I'm looking to take it soon.

What’s a good degree I should go for? I don’t think I’m going to do 20 years anymore

perfect! just the person i was looking for. aircrew wise, do you have a lot of time to do school work on non fly days? debating on signing up for classes but i don’t want to overload myself between the long ass days and cramming school in

@@thelifewithkev kev, can I get in touch with you over the global?

@@cantthinkofaname7525 you will be busy. When I was enlisted I sacrificed a lot to get my degree done and not be enlisted any longer than I wanted to be. Glad it all paid off, got me my commission and eventually pilot wings.

Preciate you, man!

Preciate you

Preciate it!

Thanks for the support, Chief!

Did you have to be deployed 7 of the 8?

@@superdome8102 What I meant to say is that I deployed for 7 years of my 8 years in the military,. I was not away for 7 years. I was in a deployment for 6 months and then 6 months at my home base. I did that for 7 years.

Is it normal to be deployed that many times?

@@superdome8102 It all depends on your job. I was part of an unit that deployed a lot. That was my choosing. Honestly you can possibly do an AF without deploying, you just have to be in career fields that are less likely to deploy. I wanted to deploy so I got into a career field that deploys a lot.

What jobs would you recommend that deploy the least? I’m not scared of deployment just getting all the info I can. Thanks for the responses!

Thanks, will do!

Congrats I go see a recruiter Jan 4th hoping to ship to basic ASAP

i leave the same day!

Get used to being yelled at lol basic isn't like the marines or army but still annoying asf. Ppl forgot most who enlist are a bunch of kids and it's their first time out of mommy and daddy's warm home. But it's only a few weeks of depending on kids to get you through basic.

@@kaylaredrum8727 Whattt that's mad cool! 🫡wishin you the best ! Maybe we run into eachother lol

I leave February 6th!

Thanks for your support, and your service

You picked the right afsc. You'll love it

Best of luck brotha enjoy your time

that's the one i wanted. lucky bastard have fun

Merry Christmas!

Can't see your face on here brother but I'm pretty sure I remember you. Thanks for the support as always. It was great meeting you, that meant a lot. Stay safe out there brother!

Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas to you too

Great point. Thanks for the advice and support.

Happy Holidays to you brother! Stay safe out there.

Man! I’m not sure it is a compliment or you just being an i********* , his job is important too and besides it’s his first deployment. I’m sure in the future he has more to offer.

I work down at the terminal

Yo let me know next time I see you. I'll say whatsup

😂😂

Thanks for your service! To answer your questions: Airmen who are able to get a shaving waiver from medical can grow beards.

Lolz

just started my tech school for power pro! best wishes bro

Great luck to you, man! Let me know if you have any questions about RF.

Hey, so I am a 1D751R, or 1D751W with the new shreds. I've had a great time with it. Radio is lesser known, but a very interesting field. You'll do something different at almost every base you work at. It really shows its importance in deployed or tactical comm environments. On the civilian side, a lot of guys go to work on similar equipment as RF or SATCOM technicians/engineers with companies like Raytheon, Motorola and others. With our general IT knowledge, some guys get other IT certification or degrees and go to work in other IT fields as well. If you were thinking about a more cyber-based AFSC, you are probably thinking of 1B4, Cyber-warfare. I'm not sure how it is now, but it used to be a cross-train only field, meaning you couldn't enlist with that job. All 1D7 are related to Comm and maintaining Comm infrastructure in garrison or deployed. I am taking classes, studying Cybersecurity Technology. All 1D7 fields are currently merging, so taking classes such as Computer Troubleshooting, Network Fundamentals and Security, Linux, VMs and more have been very useful as I look to expand my overall IT knowledgebase outside of radio, as we all are preparing to do each other's job in the 1D7 field. For tech school, just take the time to learn the material. It's not super hard, as long as you take some of your own free time to study the material to fully understand the concepts. Things such as radio and SATCOM theory will really come in handy one you start working at your duty station. The labs are pretty fun as when, when you're troubleshooting "broken" equipment. Enjoy yourself out there. Tech school is a great time. Hope this all helps.

@thelifewithkev it for sure does help. Thank you. Also, I highly respect your personality and the way you carry yourself. Very humble and kinda like a big brother to your subscribers spreading positivity. Wish you the best!

Thanks for noticing that last part lol. Great luck out there. I’ll be looking to see you out in the force🤙🏽

You gon love CE man

@@zachweldon564 i hope so I'm coming from a 15 year medical background lol 😆

@@Gymrat-1985 I can shoot my info if u wanna know more about what it’s like even tho I’m not 3e3

@@zachweldon564 yea there is not much info on KZfaq about that particular AFSC.

Look up "ASVAB" on the App Store or Google Play. There should be a free app with a star logo. Study each section and go over the practice questions. This should prepare you.

@@thelifewithkev Thank you so much.

@@samabbas9432try grammar hero youtube channel

Thank you for the kind words. God bless🙏🏽

Same here bro. I’m excited and at the same time nervous 😂 Don’t know what to expect

Check out foreverwingman.com. Anything technical or tactical will probably be more away from the desk. A few include aircrew, comm, and several more.

236 CBCS here Louisiana Sat/Wideband Originally ground radio

It's been a great experience for me, man. The best kept secret of comm in my opinion, especially in tactical units and combat comms. For the ASVAB, check out the ASVAB study app. It should have a star logo and is on the App Store and Google Play store. If you know Ohms law and basic electrical circuit components, you will do fine.

He mentioned in the video he’s still in school

@@spencerhall6744 yea saw that he mention it later in the video

Yup, its possible. If you haven't already signed up for classes, there is an education center at most deployed bases.

Cool man

Damn, you must be one hard dude

I was in for about 2 1/2 years before my first deployment, but this number can be different for everybody. It depends on your job and unit, but most have at least a year of time in the Air Force before deploying

It’s been going well. I usually take two classes a semester during fall, spring, and summer, and have less than a year left. It is definitely a commitment, but having your education paid for is a great opportunity to take advantage of.

Preciate you bro🤙

I am a Radio troop, but it's required for us to take the CompTIA Security+ cert, and I go to school for Cybersecurity as well.

That’s cool man you made me switch from navy to airforce and going through the transfer process. Cybersecurity is my number one job and hope to get it.
