Great place to work
Sr. C4ISR Business Development SME (Current Employee) – Ashburn, VA – October 16, 2017
Great place to work, nice people. Would recommend, knowledge is pervasive nice facilities. parking is adequate, campus traffic is moderate and landscaping is quality
political
Health and Safety Officer (Current Employee) – Dobbins AFB, GA 30069 – September 20, 2018
Benefits and opportunities are great but there are many unfair aspects of the Air Force reserves such as fairness of promotions and equal opportunities for temporary duty locations.
Productive quick paced
NCOIC of Combat Plans/Training (Former Employee) – Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ – September 20, 2018
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get ahead and receive high quality training. A typical day would be the same as any other career, except for the occasional deployment.
20 years of many skills learned
Wing Self-Assessment Program Manager (Former Employee) – Langley AFB, VA – September 20, 2018
Spent 20 years in the Air Force and just officially retired as of 1 Sep 18. I was given many opportunities that taught me important skills such as management, supervision, instructing and inspecting.
I was committed, I signed on.
Conditioning Specialist (Former Employee) – West Germany/Holloman AFB NM – September 20, 2018
I loved working in Germany for the 2 years I was there. I had a great boss, always there to help you out when needed. He was the kind of boss you'd go above and beyond for. Loved the travel and learning to make new friends. Good work environment and culture.
very rewarding at times
NCOIC (Former Employee) – McGuire AFB, NJ – September 20, 2018
Gratifying 20 years. The work place culture differed from station to station. Typical day usually lasted 8 hours but there were times that I worked 12 or more hours a day. The hardest part of the job was leaving your family. The most enjoyable part of the job was traveling.
Great place to have a career & serve your country.
Superintendent (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – September 20, 2018
Great company/government agency, fostering teamwork environment while allowing you to serve your country. Great promotion potential as well as awards to reward performance and going above and beyond.
Fast paced and highly competitive
Air Transportation Craftsman, Operations NCO (Current Employee) – Joint Base Lewis McChord, WA – September 20, 2018
The culture has become highly competitive. The back office buddy system is highly prevalent and very difficult to overcome. The culture has somewhat changed with the times. We are still in the mindset of doing more and more with less which pushed a lot of people out the door because you can only do so much with nothing. I have learned a lot in my 13 1/2 years of service and have travelled all over. The education and health care benefits are second to none and the new retirement system is hard to beat. I enjoy that I get the opportunity to work with people from all over and have different mindsets.
not fun
Officer and Navigator (Former Employee) – Castle AFB – September 20, 2018
stressful, not fun. good place for someone with no or little skills to get paid and build experience. Lifers there were pathetic and would not be able to compete well in the private sector.
Pros
pay
Cons
work ethic poor

Aerospace Ground Equipment Craftsman (Current Employee) – Barksdale AFB, LA – September 19, 2018
Overall positive experience, met some great people and saw some awesome places. At times it wasn't all that great, but the good outweighed the bad. I would gladly stay in if I could be relocated closer to home.

Flight Medic (Former Employee) – Lackland AFB, TX – September 19, 2018

Life of a U.S. Airforce Veteran
Public Affairs Specialist/Writer (Former Employee) – Tampa, FL – September 19, 2018
A typical day at work began in the early mornings usually at 6 a.m. with Squadron PT sometimes a run. Then followed by getting into the office by 8 am to begin the day. There were usually phones to answer or briefing the commander on information regarding base activities or the newspaper editing. The newspaper was the central focus of the careerfield so we had to ensure there would be enough stories and content to fill the paper adequately and accurately for the weekly deadlines.
The hardest part of the job was the story gathering and the most enjoyable part of the job was the paycheck.

Great place
Information Systems Security Manager (Current Employee) – Edwards AFB, CA – September 19, 2018
Quality work life balance and quality people to work with make for a quality environment with quality pay and quality health benefits which in turn make you deliver quality work.
Veteran and electrical engineer
Electrical Engineer (Former Employee) – Albuquerque, NM – September 19, 2018
5 years enlisted service during the Vietnam Era. Completed Engineer degree and was commissioned. Served another 5 years as research engineer at the Air Force Research Lab.
Highly Recommended
Weather Flight Assistant Manager (Former Employee) – Barksdale AFB, LA – September 19, 2018
The Air Force was a dream job that I highly recommend everyone straight out of high school join if they are capable or find a university with an ROTC program that gives you the leadership and mentorship to be able to handle daily taskings at a better rate than everyone else around you.
Great place to better yourself
Assistant Shop Chief of Equipment Maintenance (Former Employee) – Indian Springs Air Force Aux, NV – September 19, 2018
you learn many different types of skills to include work(OJT), social, communication, physical, etc. you learn to work together while still having a healthy competition.
Not a job but a life style.
superintendent (Current Employee) – Mountain Home AFB, ID – September 19, 2018
Not a job but a life style. This is a way of life that is not for everyone but if you have good work discipline and a love for the job you'll do well.
Pros
