Electrical and Environmental Technician (Current Employee) – Scotia, NY – October 21, 2018
The systems I am responsible for on the aircraft consist of power generation, lighting, various indication and warning systems, liquid oxygen, heating, cooling, pressurization, fire warning and suppression. Always something new to troubleshoot when problems arise, that was one of my favorite aspects of the job.
Great experience if your young and single

Chief of Readiness and Plans (Current Employee) – Provincia di Pordenone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia – October 20, 2018
Working in the United States Air Force provided a wide variety of opportunities. The work is high paced, but the sense of family culture is second to none, and people are willing to assist. The benefits are great and tough to match. The work is challenging

Very structured
Aerospace medical Technician (Current Employee) – Fairchild AFB, WA – October 20, 2018
The military is very structured and can be a good choice for anyone trying to get on their feet some people will even stay in tell they retire but you do give up allot to be there and sometimes even when something is wrong nothing can be done to fix it.
Pros
Structure, Good pay, Housing, Food, Enmities
Cons
Easy reprimand, They own you
It was a great learning experience
Fireman CrashTruckOperatorCrewChiefStationCapt (Former Employee) – Panama City, FL – October 20, 2018
They're wasn't many typical days at work in the military first you have to go through a pretty intense basic training then if you make it through that you then get sent away to another base to learn, practice, and perfect the career you either chose or got put in , then you go to another base and do the job you were trained for.
meant for the strong willed altruist
2M0X2 - Missile Maintenance Technician (Current Employee) – Cheyenne, WY – October 20, 2018
long work hours of manual labor with little or no breaks, and you work 24/7/365. always. You will never be happy with the work, but possibly happy with your part in the overall mission. whatever that means to each individual is up to them
Pros
rare travel opportunites
Cons
its the military
Global Impact
SUPERINTENDENT (Former Employee) – Andrews AFB, MD – October 20, 2018
A great place to learn an employable skill, grow leadership capabilities, and impact the world around us. Career paths are well defined, but do not limit promotion or crossflow of unconventional and out of the box thinkers.
Overall Great Experience
Comm/Nav Mechanic (Former Employee) – Cannon AFB, NM – October 19, 2018
I would never trade the experience I got from the Air Force away the only downfall for me was the management. There will always be the good ol boys club.
Pros
Everyhting
Cons
Management
Best and worst 9 years of my life
Communication Specialist (Former Employee) – Vandenberg AFB, CA – October 19, 2018
The government owns you for the term of your enlistment. If you are not ready to do what you are told when you are told, this is not a good job for you.
The military will make you grow up, give you everything you need (room, board, a pay check, etc.) but you are always considered to be on call.

US Air Force
Supervisory Analyst (Former Employee) – Birmingham, AL – October 19, 2018
The opportunities to excel within the US Air Force are unparalleled within any other sector of government of private industries that I have personally experienced during my past 40 years of work. The workplace culture I experienced was most conducive to the professionally rewarding and challenging experience of the individual, team, squadron, Service and department. The best training and intelligent and dedicated mission partners are available to members.
Good Employer
