typing this from a hotel, tomorrow morning im going to be swearing into the Air Force. This video is so genuine and authentic. I was looking into this career field as a big possibility, and after watching this video I am even more inspired to choose this job as a career. thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts with us. know that this video truly helped me out. thank you.
@David Venegas know first that you are embarking on a life changing journey. Tomorrow marks that day man. A “fork in the road”. One day you’ll look back. And be even more proud of the choices you made. To fly is an honor. To wear wings is an honor. It’s not only to serve. It’s to be willing to go down in that bitch if those are your orders. And EVERY aircrew member and soldier has gotta have that attitude. So good luck out there. Don’t let ANYONE or ANYTHING break your spirit. All roads that lead to good places are UPHILL. god speed man.
Thank you for your service and for this invaluable information..Loadmaster sounds really gratifying and exciting..gonna forward this to my 20 year old son..
I was looking into the Air Force and all the career opportunities and Loadmaster was one of the top options I was looking into, I think this video has me sold. Thank you for such a genuine insight and thank you for your service.
Good luck man!! It’s an honor to be in the military. And it’s an even bigger honor to be a military aviator. I thank god every day I was able to fly 0.1 hours in a C5 Galaxy. The aircraft humbled me. Cause in a job like a Loadmaster, if you don’t know your job and wtf you’re doing. It can cause a whole crew of dudes to never come home again. So it taught me personal responsibility and a commitment to excellence. Because I had a personal responsibility to everyone on that airplane ✈️ to make sure we got home. No matter what anybody tells you, this isn’t the same as any other job. Good luck with your journey man. Let me know when you’re a qualified load.
I was a contractor overseas 2 1/2 years Taji Iraq , 2 years Sharrana Afghanistan, and 2 years in Kuwait. God bless America is all I can say after all of that. Thank u for your service Homie....
Hell yea brother! I feel you on that competitiveness in the military. Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by idiots that outrank me so I'm gunning for ranger school to get a leg up on some of these fools
Congratulations Mike. He just signed up for a lifetime of memories and adventures. It will make a definite man out of him. I know you’re a proud dad. Tell him congrats
I really appreciate you making this video, my dad was in the navy and worked in a PMC afterwards. He met a lot of loadmasters cause he’s a pilot and junior year he told me about the job. Basically ever since then I’ve set my eyes on it, I took the asvab and scored a 77 AFQT during senior year. Now it’s the summer before I ship off and I plan on seeing a recruiter come September. I’m glad you brought up SERE school, my dad told me about it once but now this has got me wanting to research a bit in order to mentally prepare myself and not go in completely blind.
Tyler Lichon no problem Tyler. Sorry I didn’t respond earlier as I wasn’t @ on the reply. Yeah loadmaster is an amazing job. Highly rewarding to those who get the opportunity. I was blessed. SERE school is a right of passage tbh. We can’t really talk about what goes on there as it’s highly classified. However at the end of the day, male or female, if you can’t take the punishment of SERE school, then being a “Load” ain’t for you. Lol. It’s not much you can prepare for other than being physically fit and mentally strong. If you really want something. Don’t let a training environment be a reason to lose your cool. SERE school is for teaching you how not to die behind enemy lines. If u found urself there.
19 years old and just enlisted this past Monday, going to leave for basic in July and working towards Loadmaster on c130 super excited thanks for your real words!
Awesome video, I agree with what you said about sacrificing family time for your career, I separated a few years ago to start a new career and have more time with my wife and kids. Now just a few years later I’m looking at joining again because I miss the military lifestyle. I have been looking into loadmaster as a job.
Thanks for the lesson. Yes. C5 airdrop was discontinued thanks to the C17. Dover was still doing it when I was C5s.and I’m also not just speaking for C5s only. You don’t have any control of what MDS you get so I’m speaking general career field information and not aircraft specifics. They can learn all that in their LIQ. How long have you been a C5 LM and where?
@@Outlawv21992 last C5 airdrop from what I’ve been told was in the 80s & I was a c17 crew chief for 6 years AD & I’ve been a reserve c5 load for 3 years at lackland.
@@Seaneskatejitsu I know for a fact John Mincey was doing airdrop at Dover sometime in the 90s as part of the SOLL2 program. C5s are too hard to rig to make airdrop sensible. And when 17s came. It was a wrap. Yet we all still have to test on airdrop as LMs anyway. I was always at Travis
hey man. active duty here, 1 year mark is next month. just turned 20 and the reason why i’m on this video is because loadmaster was the job i was really interested in. being in a military family where my grandfather, father as well as 2 brothers, a sister and i. truth is i didn’t get the job, scored 2 points too low on the asvab with a little bit of manipulation from my recruiter got me stuck with a job that i really don’t love. the job is Aircrew Flight Equipment (1p051) if you’re familiar, kind of in the same boat as when you had the computer job. looking back on it i’m disappointed in not getting this awesome ass aviation job with everything you talked about, kind of a dream for me. my brother who is active told me about the job and told me pretty much to do it because it is an awesome job and you get to travel and all of that. i did a lot of research on loadmaster before i swore in. obviously you must’ve cross trained. i understand you have a window you have to serve before you can consider cross training and even in that window you are not guaranteed a cross train- you basically apply for it and if they have slots open as well as your job not being in need of what you are then you can for the most part. My question(s) are/is was it worth it? not just the traveling and seeing places not a lot of people get to see but i guess that absence from you know love life or if you have a family to do something with that much opportunity and excitement. do all load masters get to see what you did or is it just the lucky few who fly day to day flying mission? i’ve thought of just doing my 4 year time and getting out but really have no passions or what to do outside of this, i have time to figure it out but knowing myself, a fit outgoing man who loves adventure and adrenaline and flight. this is the first true video i’ve seen except for those videos the air force makes so i apologize for saying so much. to this day i’m upset that i didn’t get the job i wanted to join the air force for you know and now i’m stuck fixing pilots fucking equipment and basically babying them.
Hahahaha ok first off man. Congrats. You are IN which means ur getting paid and won’t be fired anytime soon. Trust me it matters in this Corona day and age. Secondly. Yes. U can cross train. First term airman actually have more relaxed standards for cross train. I don’t know how you can retake the ASVAB. THAT will be your sticking point I believe. Research that and prepare for your window to open. And stay in and at least try. Now what mission you will partake in and seeing the world and all that. Depends on plane choice. If you are C5 or C17 you are gonna see the world during heavy strategic airlift. C130s do more deploying and inter-theater lift. 130s are generally for the most gung Ho types that don’t like money and hotels. They like dirt and smelling like army guys. Which is cool I guess. I was C5s. I had it made. And during a war. Which meant MORE flying. Be on the lookout for another video I do about loadmasters and other jobs compared to it. I may do it today.
@jacob Shipman as a load u won’t have a normal schedule. So all that love life stuff and kissing babies may hafta wait. But trust me. You’ll have time.
Heyo, thanks for the information very informative. I’m currently a 2T2 and looking to cross train into load. Only issue is I have the color deficiency as well. Is there a waiver for this? I’ve been getting mixed feedback regarding it.
I was given a waiver to fly ONLY on C-5 but my color deficiency was found AFTER I had made it thru training and got qualified on C-5's. For an initial Class 3 flight physical i'm not sure they will waiver it due to safety precautions.
Man! That ending got me fired up!!! I’m 26 and joined the reserves and maaannn do i regret not going active duty. But I’m in the process of transitioning right now. It’s a long process but it’ll be worth it.
@@lockheedload gotcha!!! Yeah I was shortly after that in 02. I cross trained out as a SSgt. Already knew the deal since all my roommates were loads and I was the one maintenance guy hating life. Lmaoo
Appreciate the vid, considering joining the Air Force. 25 years old now. Been looking at hands on careers in the Air Force, aircraft maintenance and what not. Load master caught my eye as well. Maybe a job that transfers to civilian world after I’m done I’m not sure though. I don’t really know anyone in the air force so I don’t know what jobs are good and what not. I would appreciate a reply when it comes to your thought on aircraft maintenance jobs vs being a load master since u have so much experience in Air Force. Thanks man
Tom Martin sorry Tom just saw this. Ok loadmasters is a double edge sword. EASILY the best job in the Air Force. Travel. Responsibilities on operating multi million dollar aircraft. Being an OPERATOR is way different than being a maintainer. HOWEVER there is little civilian transferability upon getting out. Loadmaster jobs are simply not plentiful outside in the US. So if you have a passion for flying like I did. When it’s gone, you have to reinvent yourself. Aircraft MX is a solid career field if you intend to make that a career choice. You can get your A&P license and make good money on the civilian side. However you will always need to live near an airport to some degree for life. I can tell u bar none. Don’t choose security forces or services. Ever. If you want to be a cowboy, choose Loadmaster. But remember it’s a rigorous training regimen. Studying. Time management. And USAF SERE school will stand in your way. But commitment to service is what USAF is all about.
im currently active duty air force trying to go loadmaster unfortunately there are no more slots left since medical took an absurd amount of time so im trying to see if there is some sort of way that i can talk to the career feild manager to try and weasel may way in. words can not describe how much i want to be a loadmaster. All i want is a chance to get that seat.
All you can do is to keep working angles man. Its usually a chronic critical career field so they always need people. So just keep trying. I spoke directly to the career field manager because i knew someone in the 22AS. Any angle you can work. Work it. Good luck
It’s the best job in Air Force hands down. Crypto linguist could be fun. HOWEVER ur gonna be wearing headphones flying around in circles listening to people talk on their phones for HOURS. I think you’d like Loadmaster more
Well I’m biased but yes I feel load is a better job. Boom operators do have load responsibilities but not as much as true loads do since their primary job is refueling. Both are great jobs tho. I think loadmaster is more fun cause the mission of air-land seems more exciting that air refuel and flying long sorties around in circles. Lol
Carter unless you have a life long dream of being a firefighter I’d make it your first choice. Think about this for a second. How many fires are on Air Force bases? Very few. Which means u gonna be bored and training for long periods of time. As a loadmaster there isn’t a lot of that. You will be actively flying missions. What type of mission depends on chosen MDS.
@@Outlawv21992 thank u for responding so damn quick. Firstly, thank u for serving your country. Secondly, while it has not been a life long dream of mine, i do see myself being a FF in the civilian world. Loadmaster seems like a badass job with huge upside potential. I know you got your degree after retiring, but How much off time would you say you had while active duty to get a degree if you were to do it before retiring? Thanks for your time.
Carter not a problem! And don’t mention it. My years as an Air Force loadmaster were my best memories so it’s an honor for me to speak about it. And yes. It has huge upside but also as you spoke it’s a double edge sword. There are no civilian equivalents to loadmaster. Stewardesses do NOT load cargo. And in civilian companies loads are PLANNED by ground based civilians and then loaded by their contractors. Nobody flies with the cargo like the Air Force does. So when you’re done. Your done. I had to just walk away from aviation and do something else. Which can be a hard pill to swallow. Once my career was over it was over. Education and classes as a LM was hard. But again I was flying during a full scale war. So my flying schedule was as brutal as it gets. You CAN educate yourself while in as a LM. It just has to be worked around your training first. The AF upgrade comes first. But as a FF you’ll have more time to study and dedicate to getting your degree. So if your dream is to be a fire fighter then use the Air Force and free training as a means to do so. As long as u didn’t say security forces. Lmaooooo.
@@Outlawv21992 sounds good sir. Ive been researching for about two months now while training to not be such a skinny POS. When i go to talk to a recruiter im gonna make sure i dont get sucked into somthing that will make me want to off myself lol. If i dont get fire protection i will make sure i get LM, Special Mission Aviator, Aerial Gunner, or somthing along those lines. And its so funny man i looked into security forces and those guys hate their job so much. When i got to the fifth video telling me not to do it, i realized ok theres a pattern here. Hopefully i get a dedicated recruiter whos willing to work with me to get me the job i want rather than fill me into a job, but hey, if the air force needs me elsewhere and theres absolutely no spots for me on my top 10 list. Ill do even more research and take the best option i have. Im super pumped up about this decision and where it will take me.
This is so fucking funny and good I recently gotnout of the army as a 19k (tank crewman) no fucking job transition but my underwater welding school is paid for so hey.
I like how you broke it down about doing 20 years in the airforce... but my question is what if I did 10 years in the airforce would still be considered a veteran and would I be eligible for a retirement or would they call that an honorable discharge?
kool kid so a couple of points here. If you serve at all. And you are “honorably discharged” from whatever service you enlisted into. Then you are considered a “veteran”. Now, that doesn’t mean you get a pension or “retirement”. That only happens at TWENTY years or more of continued service. Then you are eligible for a pension. Which is going to be about a 1/4 of what you were making before. But it’s for life. You are also eligible for medical benefits and life insurance at VA rates. For life. This is after you complete twenty years. If you get out at ten you would be a veteran. However you would just get out of the service and would no longer be paid. But you also would still get education benefits. Post 911 GI bill. It paid for my MBA after I got out. The benefits of service are MASSIVE for really any length of service. Talk to a recruiter.
I have an appointment with my Air Force recruiter next week due to the pandemic to talk about my mos options , I was thinking something in aviation but u completely changed my mind towards loadmaster. If it’s available should I go for it? And I also plan on doing a full 20 yrs
@@evanle3431 ok when u join the military you get 2.5 days per month of “off time” computed as “leave”. This will ALWAYS Keep adding up. During the first few months of basic and technical school. You aren’t allowed to just leave training. But if training goes across Christmas or sumthin. Then trainees can leave for about a week while schools are closed. Other than that you are most likely looking at about 8-12 months of training. You will most likely somewhere in there get to take leave. Depending on how ur schools line up. But when u are Done with training and u go to ur base. They give u time to go home and get ur things and move.
Read More it can be. It was when I flew. As we were flying into Iraq and Afghanistan. We had one C5 from my unit hit but they landed safely. Shut down an engine.
Dani17 you would most likely fly less. At first. But then ur flying schedule would be more controlled by you. However during ur training you’d be active duty for like at least a year
No you go to two separate schools. SERE is land survival and RT combined. Water survival is a separate class also required. You’d need SOME swimming skills prior to going as they won’t teach you to swim.
@@Outlawv21992 Also does your military retirement paycheck they give you every month is enough to sustain yourself? Also did you only did 20 years or 24?
@@Sepiiim I did 21 years and 3 days. And my pension isn’t enough to live off. Not in California. But i get disability as well and it’s quite a bit of money added to my normal monthly income. I mean I was 38 when I retired the first time.
@@Outlawv21992 I want to become a loadmaster too, how-ever I need to get into shape, and work on my education, I am going to stop wasting my life playing video games and youtube videos and do my best to get this job
James Spencer mmmmm the name don’t sound familiar but we have multiple airframes at Travis. If he was C17 I wouldn’t know him. Anyone who needs winglets is gay anyway. Lmaoooo
I follow a C130 loadmaster female on Instagram. I usually vet who I’m talking to and then refer you to her. She’s a first term airman and is stationed in Germany. I have referred a few women to her. She loves her job and life based on her Insta
It really depends. Ive met female loads that are amazing loads. And ive met ones that were shit. It comes down to you and your lifestyle. Are u ready to travel 200-250 days a year if that is what the mission calls for. It can make a schedule tough to stick to. I stayed In shape on the road by discipline and sticking to it. But it’s a challenge. However there is NO job more rewarding than being an Air Force loadmaster.
@@Outlawv21992 Thank you for replying 💗 I’m single, no kids and have nothing but time lol! I do plan to attend grad school and thankfully the program is online. My goal is to do Air Force for four years, so if it’s too time demanding it may not be a forever thing (which makes me feel better about the schedule) Hopefully I’m accepted into the Loadmaster position.
@@allie1028 good luck girl. Ive known in my life several amazing female loadmasters that could put ANYTHING in an airplane given enough time. Hopefully u become one of them. If you follow me on Instagram at OutlawV2.0 I’ll point u in the direction of a few female loads that I know that can provide you more info. Good luck!!!
How hard is it to become a loadmaster? Not the training stuff but is there usually slots open to become one? cause I am willing to do almost anything to become a loadmaster but I’m nervous that there just won’t be a spot for me
Typically loadmaster is a critically short field because not all people can pass a class 3 flight physical, and then get all the way thru training without being washed out. A recruiter is usually the FIRST step at availability of slots. Because the rates are constantly changing. The best thing to do with loadmaster jobs is to request a GUARANTEED job before enlisting. They are available for selected career fields.
@@Outlawv21992 how would I request for a guaranteed job? Also I’m in high school rn so I was wondering if there’s something I can do to increase the chances of me becoming a loadmaster? And thanks for answering my questions I appreciate it
@@whiterunguard4810 you can stay in shape number one and start to live your life on a strict schedule. That will help you thru basic. If you have any physics classes and math to bulk up ur education, both of those will help you. Loadmasters deal with lots of weights and the physics of cargo inside an airplane that needs to be restrained. All requests for guaranteed jobs go thru your recruiter. Tell them you want to be a 1A2X1. That’s the AFSC for loadmasters. You don’t get to pick your airplane. You will be assigned if you are selected and make it thru to one of a few Major weapons systems or MWS. C5. C17. C130. All have very different missions.
Martin Silenus 29 days??? Hahahaha yeah sure. It’s more like a year or more for pipeline students. And yes SERE school is REQUIRED for any Aircrew and HRC personnel (high risk of capture)
@@Prozach45 what that 29 days is IIRC is the number of training days for BLM. Each week being five training days. BLM is only one course however. Here’s how it worked for me and the locations. The order is somewhat standardized. U need one course before going to another. EAUC-San Antonio TX “all aircrew learning together about common aircrew shit” 1 month roughly. Land and Water Survival Fairchild AFB WA exactly what u heard. Survive in field after being trained. Then u get captured. Period. Land survival is I believe 12-13 days Water is two or three training days. I did both at Fairchild. BLM-29 training days. About 6 weeks. Altus AFB OK. Learning how to be a load on ANY airplane. You are taught general loadmaster techniques and math. Aircraft specific becomes later. C5 LIQ after BLM. (Loadmaster initial Qual)mine was also at ALTUS. C130 to Little Rock. I don’t know where C17 goes. This school is generally 2-3 months. Pass/Fail. High stress. Then you will go to your flying unit as a STUDENT. you are not a qualified mission load yet until you are qualified at your unit by an Examiner Loadmaster on a check ride.
Alvin Sanchez you should have a strong grasp of basic math like long division. And percentages. Other than that it’s mostly physics and how weight affects inertia.
@@davidbeers368 i am pretty sure you meant 29. I know u can’t come in the Air Force after a certain age. And i know it’s in your 20s. We have plenty of fliers older than 40. I’d have flown well into my 50s if they let me.
@@davidbeers368 structure in your life is one irreplaceable thing everyone needs to be successful. Millionaires don’t waste time. Businessmen aren’t late to meetings. If you want to elevate your life. Elevate your structure.
I was very interested in learning about becoming a load master until you open your mouth. You are a very smart man why do you have to speak with such a profane tongue? It doesn’t make you look cool and it doesn’t make you look smart..it makes you look immature...so please stop! You have some good information to share with others. Please make it possible for us to respect you.
My friend Ore The Shepherd like what do you think basic training is gonna be like bro? Leading you from class to class to ensure your feelings aren’t hurt? You’re talking about profanity. Lmaoooooo. Fool stop looking into being a loadmaster. We don’t need more vaginas like “my friend Ore the Shepherd”. Cuz the first thing u need to be a Loadmaster. Is thick skin. Cuz flying in combat isn’t about rainbows and glitter son. If you’re worried about F bombs maybe look into a career in Air Force nursing.
If you think how he’s speaking is bad wait till you’re in. If anything he’s speaking as nice as polite as possible. Ever heard the saying, “swear like a sailor” ? Yeah well most people that are in are like that.
@@Marvin5554 thank u sir. Yeah I’m from Rhode Island and my mom curses 🤬 so I’m not gonna hold back for some non loadmaster. The information I provide is real talk. Not some sugary ass recruiter line they will feed you to become security forces. I appreciate the step in Marvin. Don’t worry. Ore the Shepherd will ring the quit bell long before he ever finds himself in a flight suit.
Marvin Zelaya my husband was a C131 & 141 pilot. I know exactly how SOME PEOPLE talk. It’s a way of fitting in. Act above your circumstances instead of adding to the problem.
@@myfriendoretheshepherd6618 your husband? But not you yourself? Again if you’re worried about cursing you’re not gonna make it thru training. Period. You need thick skin and not to be a pussy. So I think you should try sumthin else more suited to being soft that’s all.
Badazz that you’ve been to Guam with this career. I’m from Guam and I just recently got extremely interested in being a loadmaster. Thanks for your service! 🫡🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺
Not airmasters. Loadmasters. It all depends on the state of airplane and the mission cut. A LOT goes into timing of missions. Diplomatic clearances. Weather. Operational status of crew. Typically during war we were “12 and go” Meaning 12 hours off and then we were alerted again to leave. If the plane had a maintenance problem we’d stay. During my tenure flying I had plenty of time to explore. I saw about 30 countries in total.

Thanks for the lesson. Yes. C5 airdrop was discontinued thanks to the C17. Dover was still doing it when I was C5s.and I’m also not just speaking for C5s only. You don’t have any control of what MDS you get so I’m speaking general career field information and not aircraft specifics. They can learn all that in their LIQ. How long have you been a C5 LM and where?
@@Outlawv21992 last C5 airdrop from what I’ve been told was in the 80s & I was a c17 crew chief for 6 years AD & I’ve been a reserve c5 load for 3 years at lackland.
@@Seaneskatejitsu I know for a fact John Mincey was doing airdrop at Dover sometime in the 90s as part of the SOLL2 program. C5s are too hard to rig to make airdrop sensible. And when 17s came. It was a wrap. Yet we all still have to test on airdrop as LMs anyway. I was always at Travis
hey man. active duty here, 1 year mark is next month. just turned 20 and the reason why i’m on this video is because loadmaster was the job i was really interested in. being in a military family where my grandfather, father as well as 2 brothers, a sister and i. truth is i didn’t get the job, scored 2 points too low on the asvab with a little bit of manipulation from my recruiter got me stuck with a job that i really don’t love. the job is Aircrew Flight Equipment (1p051) if you’re familiar, kind of in the same boat as when you had the computer job. looking back on it i’m disappointed in not getting this awesome ass aviation job with everything you talked about, kind of a dream for me. my brother who is active told me about the job and told me pretty much to do it because it is an awesome job and you get to travel and all of that. i did a lot of research on loadmaster before i swore in. obviously you must’ve cross trained. i understand you have a window you have to serve before you can consider cross training and even in that window you are not guaranteed a cross train- you basically apply for it and if they have slots open as well as your job not being in need of what you are then you can for the most part. My question(s) are/is was it worth it? not just the traveling and seeing places not a lot of people get to see but i guess that absence from you know love life or if you have a family to do something with that much opportunity and excitement. do all load masters get to see what you did or is it just the lucky few who fly day to day flying mission? i’ve thought of just doing my 4 year time and getting out but really have no passions or what to do outside of this, i have time to figure it out but knowing myself, a fit outgoing man who loves adventure and adrenaline and flight. this is the first true video i’ve seen except for those videos the air force makes so i apologize for saying so much. to this day i’m upset that i didn’t get the job i wanted to join the air force for you know and now i’m stuck fixing pilots fucking equipment and basically babying them.
Hahahaha ok first off man. Congrats. You are IN which means ur getting paid and won’t be fired anytime soon. Trust me it matters in this Corona day and age. Secondly. Yes. U can cross train. First term airman actually have more relaxed standards for cross train. I don’t know how you can retake the ASVAB. THAT will be your sticking point I believe. Research that and prepare for your window to open. And stay in and at least try. Now what mission you will partake in and seeing the world and all that. Depends on plane choice. If you are C5 or C17 you are gonna see the world during heavy strategic airlift. C130s do more deploying and inter-theater lift. 130s are generally for the most gung Ho types that don’t like money and hotels. They like dirt and smelling like army guys. Which is cool I guess. I was C5s. I had it made. And during a war. Which meant MORE flying. Be on the lookout for another video I do about loadmasters and other jobs compared to it. I may do it today.
@jacob Shipman as a load u won’t have a normal schedule. So all that love life stuff and kissing babies may hafta wait. But trust me. You’ll have time.
Heyo, thanks for the information very informative. I’m currently a 2T2 and looking to cross train into load. Only issue is I have the color deficiency as well. Is there a waiver for this? I’ve been getting mixed feedback regarding it.
I was given a waiver to fly ONLY on C-5 but my color deficiency was found AFTER I had made it thru training and got qualified on C-5's. For an initial Class 3 flight physical i'm not sure they will waiver it due to safety precautions.
Man! That ending got me fired up!!! I’m 26 and joined the reserves and maaannn do i regret not going active duty. But I’m in the process of transitioning right now. It’s a long process but it’ll be worth it.
@CXpwns thanks man. I appreciate the support. Good luck on ur transition to AD. service is always a good idea for a young man.
Good shit brother. Was a C-5 Load from 2001 - 2009. Stay safe.
Good deal!!! Travis or Dover? Must be Dover cuz I was in the 22AS from 03-2011
@@Outlawv21992 68th in San Antonio. Graduated BLM on 9/11/01 and was active duty my entire career.
@@lockheedload gotcha!!! Yeah I was shortly after that in 02. I cross trained out as a SSgt. Already knew the deal since all my roommates were loads and I was the one maintenance guy hating life. Lmaoo

That’s up there to get thru that course. I was 29 I believe. Pretty good shape. It’s the mental part that breaks you.
Appreciate the vid, considering joining the Air Force. 25 years old now. Been looking at hands on careers in the Air Force, aircraft maintenance and what not. Load master caught my eye as well. Maybe a job that transfers to civilian world after I’m done I’m not sure though. I don’t really know anyone in the air force so I don’t know what jobs are good and what not. I would appreciate a reply when it comes to your thought on aircraft maintenance jobs vs being a load master since u have so much experience in Air Force. Thanks man
Tom Martin sorry Tom just saw this. Ok loadmasters is a double edge sword. EASILY the best job in the Air Force. Travel. Responsibilities on operating multi million dollar aircraft. Being an OPERATOR is way different than being a maintainer. HOWEVER there is little civilian transferability upon getting out. Loadmaster jobs are simply not plentiful outside in the US. So if you have a passion for flying like I did. When it’s gone, you have to reinvent yourself. Aircraft MX is a solid career field if you intend to make that a career choice. You can get your A&P license and make good money on the civilian side. However you will always need to live near an airport to some degree for life. I can tell u bar none. Don’t choose security forces or services. Ever. If you want to be a cowboy, choose Loadmaster. But remember it’s a rigorous training regimen. Studying. Time management. And USAF SERE school will stand in your way. But commitment to service is what USAF is all about.
Just got the news today that I got this job and ship on July 19 (still have to graduate high school) and holy cow I’m excited
Awesome big dog. Now go make your legacy man.

No I was at Dover in the 9th.
Nathan Coulter gotcha. I was 22AS my whole career. I finished at TACC.
You inspire me to join!
Good!!!! I hope it goes well for you man.
im currently active duty air force trying to go loadmaster unfortunately there are no more slots left since medical took an absurd amount of time so im trying to see if there is some sort of way that i can talk to the career feild manager to try and weasel may way in. words can not describe how much i want to be a loadmaster. All i want is a chance to get that seat.
All you can do is to keep working angles man. Its usually a chronic critical career field so they always need people. So just keep trying. I spoke directly to the career field manager because i knew someone in the 22AS. Any angle you can work. Work it. Good luck
Loadmaster seems awesome!
I've been considering joining the air force. I'd either want to be Airborne Cryptologic Language Analyst or Loadmaster 😊
It’s the best job in Air Force hands down. Crypto linguist could be fun. HOWEVER ur gonna be wearing headphones flying around in circles listening to people talk on their phones for HOURS. I think you’d like Loadmaster more
@@Outlawv21992 I just did some more research and I think I'm too short to be a Loadmaster! I'm 5'1 😩
@@autumnnorberg7534 ummmmm I know some short f&@n loads. Are u sure there is a height requirement?
@@Outlawv21992 I read that you can't be no shorter than 64 inches. Maybe there's a waiver lol
@@autumnnorberg7534 yea. Check into a waiver for height. Those rules change so a recruiter will know the particulars
I have my choice between Boom Operator and Loadmaster, and i’ve been torn between the two. Do you think Loadmaster is the better job?
Well I’m biased but yes I feel load is a better job. Boom operators do have load responsibilities but not as much as true loads do since their primary job is refueling. Both are great jobs tho. I think loadmaster is more fun cause the mission of air-land seems more exciting that air refuel and flying long sorties around in circles. Lol
i’m leaving for basic going to be loadmaster do you have any advice found this video very helpful!
Study study study. Attention to detail. Stay in ur books. They will always guide you to the answers
you gotta new sub. this is my second option as of rn. my first choice is Fire Protection
Carter unless you have a life long dream of being a firefighter I’d make it your first choice. Think about this for a second. How many fires are on Air Force bases? Very few. Which means u gonna be bored and training for long periods of time. As a loadmaster there isn’t a lot of that. You will be actively flying missions. What type of mission depends on chosen MDS.
@@Outlawv21992 thank u for responding so damn quick. Firstly, thank u for serving your country. Secondly, while it has not been a life long dream of mine, i do see myself being a FF in the civilian world. Loadmaster seems like a badass job with huge upside potential. I know you got your degree after retiring, but How much off time would you say you had while active duty to get a degree if you were to do it before retiring? Thanks for your time.
Carter not a problem! And don’t mention it. My years as an Air Force loadmaster were my best memories so it’s an honor for me to speak about it. And yes. It has huge upside but also as you spoke it’s a double edge sword. There are no civilian equivalents to loadmaster. Stewardesses do NOT load cargo. And in civilian companies loads are PLANNED by ground based civilians and then loaded by their contractors. Nobody flies with the cargo like the Air Force does. So when you’re done. Your done. I had to just walk away from aviation and do something else. Which can be a hard pill to swallow. Once my career was over it was over. Education and classes as a LM was hard. But again I was flying during a full scale war. So my flying schedule was as brutal as it gets. You CAN educate yourself while in as a LM. It just has to be worked around your training first. The AF upgrade comes first. But as a FF you’ll have more time to study and dedicate to getting your degree. So if your dream is to be a fire fighter then use the Air Force and free training as a means to do so. As long as u didn’t say security forces. Lmaooooo.
@@Outlawv21992 sounds good sir. Ive been researching for about two months now while training to not be such a skinny POS. When i go to talk to a recruiter im gonna make sure i dont get sucked into somthing that will make me want to off myself lol. If i dont get fire protection i will make sure i get LM, Special Mission Aviator, Aerial Gunner, or somthing along those lines. And its so funny man i looked into security forces and those guys hate their job so much. When i got to the fifth video telling me not to do it, i realized ok theres a pattern here. Hopefully i get a dedicated recruiter whos willing to work with me to get me the job i want rather than fill me into a job, but hey, if the air force needs me elsewhere and theres absolutely no spots for me on my top 10 list. Ill do even more research and take the best option i have. Im super pumped up about this decision and where it will take me.
Carter you’re on the right path man. Yes. No security forces. Lmaoooo. I’ll do another video on other ok air force jobs and what they REALLY do.

@@boundbytimettv2684 I appreciate it man. I was known for speaking my mind on the airplane. Lmaoooo ✈️
I like how you broke it down about doing 20 years in the airforce... but my question is what if I did 10 years in the airforce would still be considered a veteran and would I be eligible for a retirement or would they call that an honorable discharge?
kool kid so a couple of points here. If you serve at all. And you are “honorably discharged” from whatever service you enlisted into. Then you are considered a “veteran”. Now, that doesn’t mean you get a pension or “retirement”. That only happens at TWENTY years or more of continued service. Then you are eligible for a pension. Which is going to be about a 1/4 of what you were making before. But it’s for life. You are also eligible for medical benefits and life insurance at VA rates. For life. This is after you complete twenty years. If you get out at ten you would be a veteran. However you would just get out of the service and would no longer be paid. But you also would still get education benefits. Post 911 GI bill. It paid for my MBA after I got out. The benefits of service are MASSIVE for really any length of service. Talk to a recruiter.
I have an appointment with my Air Force recruiter next week due to the pandemic to talk about my mos options , I was thinking something in aviation but u completely changed my mind towards loadmaster. If it’s available should I go for it? And I also plan on doing a full 20 yrs
4pfJay yes. If u qualify. And can pass the physical then yes. I would say make a life changing decision and go be a loadmaster
4pfJay sorry it took me long to reply. YT stopped sending me message notifications.
@4pfjay u able to get job??
@4pfJay update me man. How did the talk go???
Outlaw V2 just came back from meps on 9/11 crazy right, but I ship out on December 15th but I couldn’t get loadmaster
Want to join the military and become a loadmaster. My question is we’re u able to go back home here and then? Or was it a strict schedule?
I’m a sophomore in high school and know little about the military so trying to find out more about the jobs
@@evanle3431 ok when u join the military you get 2.5 days per month of “off time” computed as “leave”. This will ALWAYS Keep adding up. During the first few months of basic and technical school. You aren’t allowed to just leave training. But if training goes across Christmas or sumthin. Then trainees can leave for about a week while schools are closed. Other than that you are most likely looking at about 8-12 months of training. You will most likely somewhere in there get to take leave. Depending on how ur schools line up. But when u are Done with training and u go to ur base. They give u time to go home and get ur things and move.
Is this a dangerous job such as the plane getting shot down?
Read More it can be. It was when I flew. As we were flying into Iraq and Afghanistan. We had one C5 from my unit hit but they landed safely. Shut down an engine.
How would being a loadmaster change if I was reserve? I want to join the Air Force but I’m still debating if I should do reserve or active.
Dani17 you would most likely fly less. At first. But then ur flying schedule would be more controlled by you. However during ur training you’d be active duty for like at least a year
Matthew Polen there u go sir. @Dani17 from the horses mouth. Thanks Matt. Yeah I’m an IL that used to fly in the 22AS.
Do you need to know how to swim? Since you said that you go to SERE training. I don't know how to swim so hopefully they teach you
No you go to two separate schools. SERE is land survival and RT combined. Water survival is a separate class also required. You’d need SOME swimming skills prior to going as they won’t teach you to swim.

How hard is it to become a loadmaster? Not the training stuff but is there usually slots open to become one? cause I am willing to do almost anything to become a loadmaster but I’m nervous that there just won’t be a spot for me
Typically loadmaster is a critically short field because not all people can pass a class 3 flight physical, and then get all the way thru training without being washed out. A recruiter is usually the FIRST step at availability of slots. Because the rates are constantly changing. The best thing to do with loadmaster jobs is to request a GUARANTEED job before enlisting. They are available for selected career fields.
@@Outlawv21992 how would I request for a guaranteed job? Also I’m in high school rn so I was wondering if there’s something I can do to increase the chances of me becoming a loadmaster? And thanks for answering my questions I appreciate it
@@whiterunguard4810 you can stay in shape number one and start to live your life on a strict schedule. That will help you thru basic. If you have any physics classes and math to bulk up ur education, both of those will help you. Loadmasters deal with lots of weights and the physics of cargo inside an airplane that needs to be restrained. All requests for guaranteed jobs go thru your recruiter. Tell them you want to be a 1A2X1. That’s the AFSC for loadmasters. You don’t get to pick your airplane. You will be assigned if you are selected and make it thru to one of a few Major weapons systems or MWS. C5. C17. C130. All have very different missions.
Do they still require SERE school for loadmasters? AF site says Tech school is 29 days
Martin Silenus 29 days??? Hahahaha yeah sure. It’s more like a year or more for pipeline students. And yes SERE school is REQUIRED for any Aircrew and HRC personnel (high risk of capture)
@@Outlawv21992 Sweet. Thank you for the information. Seems like AF should update their website every once in a while 🤣
@@Prozach45 what that 29 days is IIRC is the number of training days for BLM. Each week being five training days. BLM is only one course however. Here’s how it worked for me and the locations. The order is somewhat standardized. U need one course before going to another.
EAUC-San Antonio TX “all aircrew learning together about common aircrew shit”
1 month roughly.
Land and Water Survival Fairchild AFB WA
exactly what u heard. Survive in field after being trained. Then u get captured. Period. Land survival is I believe 12-13 days
Water is two or three training days. I did both at Fairchild.
BLM-29 training days. About 6 weeks. Altus AFB OK. Learning how to be a load on ANY airplane. You are taught general loadmaster techniques and math. Aircraft specific becomes later.
C5 LIQ after BLM. (Loadmaster initial Qual)mine was also at ALTUS. C130 to Little Rock. I don’t know where C17 goes. This school is generally 2-3 months. Pass/Fail. High stress. Then you will go to your flying unit as a STUDENT. you are not a qualified mission load yet until you are qualified at your unit by an Examiner Loadmaster on a check ride.
What asvab score do you need to qualify for this job ???
That’s always changing but I know it’s the “general” score that matters
Bubble gum lmao 🤣
Do you have to be good at math for a loadmaster?
Alvin Sanchez you should have a strong grasp of basic math like long division. And percentages. Other than that it’s mostly physics and how weight affects inertia.

I appreciate that man!!!
so airmasters when you fly to a certain place and land, do you get a day or two off to explore the city?
Not airmasters. Loadmasters. It all depends on the state of airplane and the mission cut. A LOT goes into timing of missions. Diplomatic clearances. Weather. Operational status of crew. Typically during war we were “12 and go”
Meaning 12 hours off and then we were alerted again to leave. If the plane had a maintenance problem we’d stay. During my tenure flying I had plenty of time to explore. I saw about 30 countries in total.
