What a day in my life is like being stationed at the United States Air Force Academy as an enlisted member. My job is Airfield Management and for the most part its a pretty chilled job depending what base you get stationed at. This base in particular is a hidden gem in our career field one of the easiest bases you can get stationed at.

My dad advised me to join the Air Force back in the day, but I had to rebel and join the Army. Jeezus I would’ve retired in the Air Force. So awesome!!

Your job is basically airport operations. These dudes make pretty good money at big airports.

@RadicalHANSTER 2 года назад

Currently a 15P in the army and honestly I gotta say, after this contract is over I think switching to Air Force and getting in this job is calling my name!

@Bruce.lee94 2 года назад

Goodluck 🙌🏽 shouldnt be hard to snag this career field is usually low manned i picked up a 40k reenlistment bonus a few years back when we were really low manned

@OhNineNzaPromo Год назад

@@Bruce.lee94 was the bonus immediately or given out during quarters of the year?

@Bruce.lee94 Год назад

Both you will get half up front and the rest evenly divided through the years you enlisted for i got 20k up front tax free since i was deployed at the time and then 4k every year for the remaining 5 years

@joehamilton2387 Год назад

airfield management at travis afb is the literal worst. 6 years of 12 hour shifts for a 24/7 flightline with heavys. fuck that shit.

@Bruce.lee94 Год назад

Damn that is pretty bad ill be sure to not ever put Travis on my dream sheet 💀

@lemonke8882 2 года назад

Are your shifts crazy long? Like 12 hours every day? This is honestly one of the more informative videos!

@Bruce.lee94 2 года назад

It really depends on what base you are stationed at. Every spot i been to we only work 8 hour shifts but if you get stationed at a base that flies 24/7 than most likely your shifts will be 12 hours but you will work like 3 days on 2 days off type of schedule. Also deployments are 12 hour shifts at least all the ones ive been on.

Hi Bruce, is there an official USAF glossary guide to all the terms used in Airfield management? I’m trying to find the definition for “flight line”, “Ramp”, etc. a diagram showing different parts of the airfield would be great. Thanks!

@Bruce.lee94 2 года назад

Goodluck! Might feel like a lot to learn in a short time but when you get to your first base they will go over everything again but tailored to the base you are assigned to. Most of us braindumped some of the things we learned at tech school so dont feel bad if you forget things when you go home after tech school before going to your first base

@Bruce.lee94 2 года назад

No thats not us thats a different agency we pretty much notify them and let them know when the planes are arriving so they are out there when they land.

Thinking about cross training into airfield management, how is tech school and the work life balance ?

@Bruce.lee94 7 месяцев назад

Tech school is pretty quick about a month and you’re done. Work life balance depends on the base if you can get one where the airfield is not 24/7 its easier for a family. Work you have a lot of downtime so doing school on shift is what a lot of people do. Once you get higher in rank (E-6) and get put on admin hours its a lot easier for family life but work life gets dull i enjoyed my time on the counter more than being in the back office

@sethstrate 4 месяца назад

If I wanted to get stationed there would I probably be able to ?

@Bruce.lee94 4 месяца назад

Its pretty difficult to get stationed there unless the timing lined up they also try to avoid it being a first duty station for us because the type of airfield makes it harder to train any new person

How is the social / dating life in the airforce ?

@Bruce.lee94 2 года назад

Social life kinda depends on the person if u dont mind going out to try new things and stepping out of your comfort zone every now and then its great! Bases usually have activities pretty often too. I met some of the best people i still talk to from my last two bases. As far as the dating life ive had real good luck with it lol you are just exposed to a lot of new people theres options not only on base but also the local community depending on the base you are stationed at

@Bruce.lee94 Год назад

Pretty easy transfer you can work at almost any airport a lot of bases also hire civilians. (This base half the shop was civilians) Aviation Operations Manager, Airfield management specialist, airfield manager, etc. just depends what level of training you complete. Most of us get a good amount of our credits for an aviation management degree just from training.

@@Bruce.lee94 Thanks for the answer! I’m currently on flight training (civil), but I’m thinking on enlist with USAF but I’m interested on jobs related to aviation… like your job and also ATC. One last question, are you able to decided which base you want?

@Bruce.lee94 2 года назад

ATC is also a very good choice! As far as choosing your base you do get a “dream sheet” you can pick 7 bases you would like to go to and if the Air For has openings at those bases for your rank theres a chance to get stationed there. Its not always guaranteed but you can always re apply afterwards
