How many years of service would one be looking at as an ATC?
It is a 6 year commitment

They have had some changes recently because I had to sign a 6 year contract 4 years ago but I have a few trainees that signed a 4 year and some of those airmen came in last year so you might be able to do a 4 year contract now.
I had a stroke 2 years ago due to a blood clot passing through a hole in my heart, the hole has since been fixed and I have no residual symptoms after a 100% recovery, I am now 18, would I be eligible for this position?
Unfortunately, this will likely be medically disqualifying. However, the doctor at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) makes that determination. Your local recruiter can have your medical records for this condition prescreened by the doctor at MEPS for a preliminary ruling in your particular situation. It is routine during the screening process that all applicants are asked in-depth questions about their medical history. Just like other medical matters such as broken bones or asthma, we would request medical paperwork for the CMO to review for a determination.

dude if you are completely fine just lie if it will disqualify you from doing what you waant
if you’re 100% recovered and there’s no longer issues from it, don’t tell them about it.
What is the average wait time in DEP for this career?
From the date you enlist, till the day you leave for Basic Military Training (BMT) is approximately 3 to 9 months.

Is there any information on 13 MX Airfield Operations on TH-cam? What does the pipeline look like?
The music is great
Music should have cut off after dude at the end said "it's not for the lighthearted". Perfect mic drop opportunity, missed. Mission failed. I expect better from the United States Air Force.
This the job I wanted and signed for! But nooo i got SecFo due to weird timing, and now I’m having to play catch up to get this job
Tell your recruiter that you will not be SecFo and wait for the call for ATC if you really want it
Is the USAF in need of ATCs? I'm very interested in this career.
You may reach out to your area recruiter to inquire on specific career information. What is your zip code?

It’s a necessary field rn
@@Aspiration321Are you in it?
What’s the retention rate as an ATC in the AF when you can make 150k/yr on the outside?
It’s probably not good. Without the BAH/BAS they are pretty much getting just above minimum wage to do this. E-5 pay is E-5 whether you are flipping eggs 🍳 or working traffic. Defac employees probably get a better bonus.
Everyone I know has gotten out after their 6 years are up but I am at Ellsworth SD so that is definitely a contributing factor.
@@emojomo6349 I haven't seen one senior airman re-enlist. I've seen tons of nco's re-enlist though.
please keep the f16 in service.
They wouldn't lessen to you
Does any would have access to The phraseology so I can start studying in advance?
It depends on what your are doing, there is canned phraseology for certain procedures. For instance , ( I worked Radar) to clear the aircraft for an approach, we called it PTAC, Position, Turn Altitude Clearance,,,, Lobo15 15 miles north of (name of base or airport). turn left heading 280 maintain 4 thousand until establish on localizer cleared ILS runway 32 approach,,,,, look for the FAA 7110.65, its the ATC bible,,,,
How many points I need in the asvab to be a air traffic controller?
General 55.

God bless I shall make a 60 then.:)
how about tokens? how many tokens do we need on the asvab?...XD
I have asthma could I still enroll
Unfortunately, asthma is a (potentially) medically disqualifying condition. The Air Force will utilize the Methacholine Challenge Test (MCT) to provide an objective measure of candidates with an ambiguous or uncertain history of asthma. Candidates who successfully pass this test will be processed for a waiver. Please contact your local recruiter. The doctor at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) will make the determination of whether or not your situation is disqualifying. Your local recruiter can have your medical records for this condition prescreened by the doctor at MEPS for you to find a preliminary ruling. Please contact an Air Force recruiter for more details.

And what are the work hours like for this career field
Usually shift work. I’ve mostly worked 1 week of day shift & 1 week of nights. & it keeps alternating.
@@jeffreyannas2398 And if you get lucky you alternate between day shifts and mid shifts which is always fun.
Is there a way I can join to do this? I rather do ATC here than the Navy
