Hey everyone! I wanted to fill you guys in on what my career field in the military has to offer. If you're anything like me, you may have gone straight to RU-vid to try to find information about your potential career. At the time of my enlistment (2013), there wasn't much online that went over all my job consisted of. I hope this video is helpful to anyone interested in pursuing a career as a 4H in the Air Force. If you have any questions feel free to leave them down below.
JUST WANT TO CLARIFY YOU DO NOT NEED A COMPLETED ASSOCIATES DEGREE BUT ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE COMPLETED COLLEGE LEVEL CLASSES SUCH AS ENG I & II, COLLEGE ALGEBRA, SOCIAL SCIENCE, AND HUMANITIES. SO SOME COLLEGE IS INDEED REQUIRED, YOUR ASSOCIATES WILL BE EARNED AFTER YOUR COMPLETION OF PHASE I.
Branch- USAF AFSC- 4H0X1

@Chatsy0088 3 года назад

Jake, are you going to be AD or reserves? I’m asking because I’m reserves. I just re-enlisted for this career field. Got a bonus too! Unfortunately, they’re telling me that I shouldn’t have been given this job if I wasn’t planning on being employed in this profession full time once tech school is over. I currently work a full time job, I have 2 years until retirement, I can’t just quit now. I have never experienced this before and I’m trying to find out as much as I can.

@jakesmith789 3 года назад

@@Chatsy0088 I'm guard. I started phase 2 about a month a go. There are 3 phases for reserves/guard and 2 for Active Duty. I had to wait a year and a half to start school but you have to be committed. Tech school alone is about a year and a half. Phase 1 is all bookwork and testing all the time.. pretty much a final every single week for 4 months. Phase 2 is where you do clinical rotations and start doing your job. Phase 3 is just your upgrade training but then after that you have CCATT courses to be scheduled for and CSTARS and some other ones. A lot of training up front but well worth it in the end. If you don't want to go through this long haul you could probably go Medical Admin 4A and then do a couple years and retire. With 4H you will test for both your CRT and RRT. It really makes it worth it to leave the military with credentials.

@Only1Diamond 5 лет назад

Hello, I am so glad you found this information helpful. In regards to your question, asthma is an obstructive airway disease not a restrictive one. Although we are trained to read PFT’s it is best to consult your physician for any follow up questions. Best of luck to you on your journey!

@jlovescxndy 2 года назад

Thanks for this video, it is extremely helpful. You mentioned that you tested for your boards and in the civilian world you are a certified respiratory therapist. My question is would that be the exact job title translation in the civilian world or are there other routes you can go with the skill set you gained in the military?

@Only1Diamond 2 года назад

Glad to hear you have found this info to be helpful. That is the exact job title on the civilian side but can also be listed as (Registered Respiratory Therapist or Respiratory Care Practitioner). If you would like to pursue a career in healthcare such as becoming a doctor, nurse, or PA, this field could provide you with knowledge to excel in those professions.

Thank you for making such an informative video. I’m planning to pick this job but I have a question. In phase two, do you have yo change base? Can you stay in the base to continue your training? I want my kid to come with me for tech school. I heard once you’re in tech school for a month, they can come live with you on base. However, I don’t want to move after phase one. Thank you!

@Only1Diamond Год назад

Hello, I am glad you found it helpful. Everyone moves after Phase I as Phase II is not taught at the same location. You may be able to stay in the local area (Texas) but that is only if the Air Force has a need for you there. Everyone's situation varies however, based on their status (ie. married, single, prior service, first time enlistee, etc). It is hard to provide information without knowing your exact situation. Your family would not accompany you to your first phase of tech school.

@donaldbastien7089 5 лет назад

Hey so I’m trying to apply for the Interservice Physician Assistant Program (IPAP) which the Air Force offers but I need 2 years of active duty under my belt. I planned on sending a package in for the CardioPulmonary job with my recruiter and do that for 2 years and apply to the IPAP after.

How many days and hours you work, if you rotate every month how often it is and what shifts ... I would greatly appreciate it.

@Only1Diamond 5 лет назад

Hello, scheduling is different for every base. At my current base the 4H's that staff the outpatient clinic work 7-4 M-F. If you are one of the 4H's that staff the inpatient unit you will work 12 hour shifts on what is known as a "panama schedule".

I replied to your comment a while ago but for some reason, it didn't post. Tech school was challenging because it contained a lot of foreign information I needed to be able to recall in a short period of time. There wasn't anyone in my course that got washed out. I studied on my own and in a group with other classmates prior to the test. If you want to succeed I am sure you'll do great. Sorry for the late response, best of luck to you!

@Jodywithawhy 4 года назад

Child of Promise that’s tough. I’m not too sure about that specific field, but if you have the proper schooling, I’m sure the Air Force would like to have you, and you would need to get in contact with a health professions recruiter. You can do this by going to Air Force.com. If you don’t have the schooling, the Air Force is good way to get your education paid for so you can become a Pediatric Neurosurgeon with out going into debt. I hope this helps. Good luck

So when you signed your contract you were guaranteed this job? Also how can one go about joining and specifically going towards this field?

Correct. To join you would need to speak to a local Air Force recruiter and score well enough on your ASVAB. Once you receive that score you will know if you are eligible for the job or not. If not, you will receive a listing of other jobs that are available to you.

Yes search for Registered Respiratory Therapist. The VA is a direct fit. Most civilians will work on the ICU side- there are less jobs on the Pulmonary Function Testing. Good overview but she uses a lot of jargon that may be unfamiliar to many people. RTs have direct patient contact- much more than physical therapists - only nurses have more patient contact than RRTs. If you don’t like blood this is the wrong field. I was a RRT for 20 years (RRT in 1984). This young lady is quite smart to bet a business degree to go with this technical training. Healthcare is a business- good luck & well done!
