So I joined the Air Force because I couldn't afford school and then I was in a rough time of my life where I needed an escape I guess maybe. But it turned out the Air Force to me wasn't just going to be about the school. It turned out to be much more and now I really enjoy it. So I just hit my 2 year mark enter at August 1st 2017 and I am in Airman First Class. The title for my job is Mayin and Samantha Production if AFSC is 2R1X1. I entered in with an open contract and picked it out in basic training. Honestly I had no idea what this job was but after getting a little more into it and going to my first space and seeing what I do I am like wow that's a pretty big job. So yeah it's now it's something I really wanted to do. I'll be honest I really wanted a medical job like dental assistant or surgeon assistant and I was like dang I could probably get a really good job right after there for us if I really wanted to get out. I signed a 4 year contract because in my mind I was like oh I'll just do school get out but I really wish I signed a 6 year contract but it's all good. My tech school for the job was at Shepherd Air Force Base and Texas I think it was which of top falls. Yeah. Tech school for me was only about 33 days but they cut it short at 29 I believe because it was around the time they were trying to send us home for Thanksgiving. So ended up being only about 29 days so we got kind of lucky. I at first Tech School was a little awkward you had one half of you that had some freedom and the other half was still tied down because of the MTS. But honestly I really enjoyed Tech School the school part I mean you fell asleep less sometimes but it was just the friends that I made they were really cool I met so many different people from different places learn so many new things and like I would honestly go back to that just to like see the friends again because they're really people that I would remember for a long time. So with my job since we handle all aircraft we can be stationed anywhere. So as a maintenance management productionist or a scheduler they might call us PS&D we are required to create schedules flying schedules for the aircraft that we're stationed with will be required to make a weekly schedule a monthly schedule and a quarterly schedule obviously. A weekly is every week a monthly is every month and a quarterly is every three months. So much with computers. Again it's going to depend on like where you're at like with me I'm at the 855th rescue squadron and Nellis Air Force Base so since we're a rescue squadron obviously our helicopters deploy a lot in that case we deploy with them very often probably twice a year I believe but again it just depends on your base it depends on your aircraft where they go and so on. I'll be honest when I first joined it was just the four years and that's it. Right now it's like I'm planning on being listening but whenever I think about 20 I'm like damn. But right now I think if I were like on a scale 1 to 10 I'll probably be on a 6 towards the 20 year retirement. So yeah. Honestly like I said I was trying to go for something medical. I wouldn't mind doing that now but now that I know this job and understand it a lot more I really enjoy the job now. And I really don't mind doing this for the next who knows how long. So you can probably hear the basic answer from everyone like oh volunteer go to school go do this go do that. But honestly like with me what was important to me first was learning my job and then I wanted to volunteer and then do that other stuff. Because if you're pushing for people to like volunteer and do other stuff besides your job first it's going to be hard for them to be juggling everything at the same time. Because you're trying to learn your job you're trying to volunteer you're trying to do everything. So and honestly just take your time like learning your job first and once you get that down then go for it go volunteer go do ACE. Try to get that BTC package you know just stuff like that.
