U.S. Air Force: Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Maintainer

It takes an Air Force team to maintain the MQ-9 Reaper. From the airframe and avionics specialists to the weapons loaders, they all work together to make sure this remotely piloted aircraft is ready at a moment’s notice. www.airforce.c...

[@chrisshamberger9642]

How do you like the job?

[@matthewbostelman2487]

@chrisshamberger9642 I'm at my tec school right now at Sheppard AFB, and it's definitely more enjoyable than high school, mainly because what I'm learning is actually interesting and I need to know it.

[@danielmagallan6062]

Lookin good man

[@jjuarez5593]

Any current or recent 2a318a maintainers who can tell me what their experience was? Theres is little to zero info on what to expect in this field. Thanks!

[@selsahmwishen2981]

I agree that there is little information regarding this field.
I look forward to enlisting and I am trying to search for more information as I can regarding rpa but it seems challenging to get sufficient information.

God bless you

[@juanorozco2635]

Amazing! I always wanted to be a cryptolinguist or reaper pilot for the USAF or USNAVY since I was 17 years old...
I am 24 years old now...
If only my USAF recruiters recruited me 7 years ago when I was fresh out of highschool :/

[@cycologist7069]

Juan Orozco What do you mean your recruiters didn't recruit you? Were you not qualified at the time for some reason? Also you don't get into a pilot program fresh out of high school since that requires a commission so your post is confusing. Were you initially planning on enlisting and later getting into an officer program?

[@adjustings673]

you should add more tags and advertise your videos more to a younger teenage audience because they are more likely to seriously consider a carrer

[@GoFlexDickie]

Man such a blessing!

[@kennycon123]

What are the bases?

[@stealthmanx2]

Unfortunately most will say no good ones for active duty. On that though, any base you are at is what you make of it. Cannon, Creech, Holloman.for the 9's.

How easy or hard will it be to get a job in this field outside the usaf when you discharge?

[@USAirForceRecruiting]

Joey, take advantage of the training and educational benefits you receive while serving in the Air Force. When and if you make the decision to separate from the Air Force ensure your resume reflects your experience, training and education that you earned in the Air Force.

Flying drones after separation? Don't know myself but I imagine most of these guys move into other fields after separating (officers don't get discharged btw).

[@hephaestus511]

This is a job where you could just do college and get paid for 4 years, do 2 more years if you want, then leave and get a job in your degree you earned

[@selsahmwishen2981]

Good question

[@selsahmwishen2981]

​@@USAirForceRecruitingthis response is good but it does not respond to the question asked.

[@OscarA.BenitesNavarro]
