I joined the Air Force because I wanted to just kind of get out of my little small hometown explore, see what the world had for me. I'm a senior Airman and I've been in a little bit over three and a half years. The AFSC is one Charlie 3X1 and it is Command and Control operations. The previously known as Command post. I got this job well as a day. I didn't really know much about the job and sounded cool so I put it on my list and wasn't really what I was expecting it to be. I was interested in Boomba operator, loadmaster, and special mission figure. I signed a six year contract that way I could get A1C whenever I left to the Texkool. My Texkool was a Keesler Air Force Base in Luxe, Mississippi right on the coast. My Texkool was approximately six weeks. I was a little rough. I think I gave a lot to you to study it and sometimes you couldn't study what you were learning. But it was fun because there was a lot to do around the area. You can really be stationed at any base plus some NATO bases overseas. On average, you worked about 50 hours a week, most of the time there are 12 hours shifts. With this job there's a lot that you can do with FEMA and other organizations like that. So at the point in time though we're one and four but with how small all the offices are you don't really deploy that much. I've been in three and a half years and still haven't deployed. I'm not sure you had a fun plan on making it. A career I still have a little bit of time to decide some kind of keep my options open and make a shadow of shedding doors. So typical shift you get in approximately 20 minutes before your shifts supposed to start and you do all your checks and shift change over to include checking what aircraft you're following that day because we flyfall all inbound aircraft. With flightfalling the aircraft she's making sure that they're leaving on time getting what they need and making sure there's no issues. Throughout the day there really is no this is what's going to happen in this time. This is what's going to happen at this time. It's based on what's going on so how there was the gate runner that happened in the UK our job would immediately be or command control operations would immediately be notified and we would talk to the commander to find out what he wants to do and disseminate the word of what he would like to do. So you guys would be the ones to kind of like disseminate the message that like the base is going on lockdown. So we are the we run the giant voice and we also run ad hoc and then with our job there is actually a checklist for every single item that is on there we have 800 different or 700 different series of checklist each series is a different thing and then a cdc which is your daily stuff. I was adjoined baseball harboricum for the missile inbound that we were supposed to hit with by North Korea that was inadvertently sent so my job we fielded 450 phone calls within 30 minutes to find out what was going on and at the same time communicating with the wing commander and all of our group commanders because we didn't know if it was really it or an inadvert message. So even some crazy thing like that we had a checklist that kind of cover what we should do who we should call each series is a different type of checklist they're not all like once through 100 like a 500 series checklist is whether you normally have about seven checklist right there a 700 is kind of miss a link is checklist that can cover multiple different things 200 is just everything involved in flight following from aircraft is 30 minutes late so we have to start kind of looking for the aircraft and seeing where they are seeing if they're just running late departed or previously station late divergated or in worst case scenario did have to be just the aircraft somewhere so you guys are kind of like the brains of the Air Force like base in a way yes is you're kind of like the nervous system I guess is like the commander kind of says the word and you're kind of relaying that to everyone else and then vice versa if other things happen it comes to you and you relay that to the commanders yes we get notified of every little thing if security forces gets called to somebody's house for most complaint domestic violence or like the largest thing that you would see missling about gay runners normal things like that for new people coming in I would just say be prepared for long 12-hour shifts we have to have two controllers on shifts at all times so if you're working a 12-hour shift and it's you and one other person you cannot leave for to go to your food they can't leave to go to your food you can step out for five minutes to go to the bathroom that's really it's so just just showing up to work every single day of prepared for really anything the book I come with two two small meals and a bunch of snacks every day because you never know you can put your food in the microwave but not give back to it for another three hours so you're just snacking on those small things just for new people just be smart with your time be smart with your money it is very easy to just kind of waste your money blow your money then your PCI scene and you realize that you just don't have any money to do anything with and you want to do all these fun things with Releague but you just can't so you can reach out to me at my Instagram it's Eric but with two E so E E or I see 821 or at my Facebook just Eric Savage and my wife does have a YouTube channel that we've been trying to work on YouTube channel is Mobisha just like military styles like vlogs and thanks for having the PCS we've been trying but there's an issue with her camera and she can't figure out how to change something on the screen gotcha but it's actually a camera you guys just do use it all about that I'll fix it for you guys and then you can get back to document it yes yeah so she hasn't posted a little bit but we are looking at posting just when if we get to language just do new things rest do we did do quite a few
