I Really enjoyed working at Lackland AFB. Management personnel was pleasant to work with. I learned a lot about operating Fuel systems.

The US Air Force is a wonderful venue for capping into your inner leadership traits.

i am happy to have served and the experience i've had since enlisting.

Done not know what to say, But the work was hard and long hrs and my job title did not have much time for friends and family.

Working on half the USAF network was a great learning experience with provided something new every day to work on. The only negative part would be that there was such a wide variety of issues that it was difficult to specialize or concentrate on a specific field of IT.

I spent more time in classes than I did in the field. This was a short term military school acceptance. When I wasn't in class I was cleaning up campus and helping out around the base.

Would do it all over again. Travel,Experience and training.

A way to give back to your country and earn a honest living. A job everyone can be proud of.

Normal days for my was 14-16 hours of Management of the two major programs for a 123 manned unit. Those programs where the career progression and development of their training from the airman through my leadership. I was able to stay on top of these programs through the use of trackers and holding supervisors accountable for the training and advisement – more... to leadership. During this same depending where leadership wanted me to work, I either worked as the Area Supervisor of Critical Assets or the Control Operator of alarms and operation in another Critical Area. On top of that was being a Supervisor to a total of 21 men and woman dating back to December 2010. What I loved abut the job was knowing that everything I did; whether it was for the unit, the mission, the Air Force, or my troops, it always had an amazing impact on lives. – less

Great life, great balance. Culture and values are second to none. I believe that everyone should serve for a minimum of 4 years.

Nothing is more important than ensuring the freedom of our nation. However, deployments and work temp take a toll on your body after a while.

Air force was great. Learned a lot about myself. Typical day is being rushed all the time. You always have to be on your toes because you never know what will happen next.

The United States Air Force is filled with dedicated, hard working, highly trained, and extremely motivated people serving the nation. I was given ample opportunity for continuing education, advancement and opportunities to serve our great nation and its people. My jobs did require long hours, selflessness and a dedication to duty.

The military provides great experiences and excellent training. Anyone who comes to work for the USAF must understand that they are on call 24/7. You can deploy out of cycle and these deployments are for 6 months. This does not include pre-deployment training trips. Co-workers and management varies drastically through a typical enlistment. Because people – more... are moved around quiet often the continuity is slacked. The best part of my experience was the chance to travel. It was not always to the best places but, I have been in more countries than most people. – less

I loved molding new, young, fresh controllers as well as helping the ones decide that this job really was not for them.

Great Experience. Enjoyed a different culture in the UK. Would love to go back!
