Not too many loadmaster vids out rn, plz keep making!!
I know this channel is not about history but when you talked about the pay I really had to smile. I was a loadmaster at Dover AFB in 1966. The base pay for an Airman 3rd class was $96 a month. I was really happy when I learned that flight pay was $50 a month. Wow! A 50 percent increase. While on my first mission to Vietnam I learned that combat pay was was another $50 a month. I was scared but getting rich! Then when I learned that I would get per diem when I ate in the Airman’s Club at Yakota instead of the chow hall I thought I had hit the jackpot! Man, those were the days my friend.
Stuck in life rn…this is whats peaking my interest. Thank you for your words, I appreciate the insight as a woman. You make it sound like maybe I can actually do it thank you, keep being great!! ❤️
Jaylynnnnnnmm!!!! Super proud of the load and world traveler you’ve become. I told you you was gonna love this shit. Thanks for always letting me send people to ur channel that want to become loads.
Great video, very informative thank you. Looks like I’m making the right choice by being a load master
My daughter will soon be trying to join the AF to become Loadmaster. As a mom, and a veteran of the Army, I have enjoyed watching your videos. From what I have seen of your earlier videos you seemed more quiet and less self confidence. But now, you seem to have come out of the shell and hold yourself up higher with confidence.
My daughter is super shy and just like me I hope that when she joins she will build self confidence and pride. You are a lovely person and I am proud of you.
This just made me tear up! Thank youuuu so much ma’am 💗 I am excited for your daughter to start her journey I’m confident she will blossom as well. If she ever needs to talk I’m here!
Hello!! My daughter is considering this job, she’s already in Ramstein at this moment. Thanks for your input and advice👍🏿
Great video!! My daughter joined this year. She’s Security Force.
I just signed as a loadmaster, and I’m shipping out May 9th! Thanks alot for this video, it definitely answered most of my burning questions.
How did you get this job? Did you just get lucky or did you wait?
I was a special warfare candidate in development prior to being offered Loadmaster. It was 2nd or 3rd on my list, and due to life and priority changes I decided to go with being a load instead, when my recruiter offered it to me. So honestly, I just got lucky! @@ritger563
Thank you for making this video! What’s it like when you get to places? Like sleep arrangements? Eating? Going to a gym?
I’ll make a video on this! 💗
The pay part u should make another vid about it fr it would be really helpful
Jalyn, Informative info. Q: Do you plan to go for another contract and stay and why or why not? Peace
Hello. Thank you for the videos and the information. I wanted to know if you had any information/advice on the kind of careers you could get in civilian life after being a loadmaster. What kind of jobs you could get after your time I’m the AF. Anything is appreciated. Thank you.
Make sure you link with my boy and his wife the Blades. They are smart and good people out there
Thanks so much for this vid, please make more about your work life balance and how it is being a woman in the field !
You got it! ❤️
How long do you stay at the countries you visit while on missions? and how long did it take from bmt to operational, was it 8 months or a year?
Wait C130s get stationed overseas too? I thought mainly the C17s . I wish to get stationed overseas as a load 🙏. How often do y’all fly and what’s the scheduling like?
When you go to these places where do you guys stay?
In fundies rn stresssssingg
Is the math pretty hard cause that’s the main thing I’m scared about. I really want to be a load
are there loadmasters at Andrews AFB?
You said youre in the air about 300 days out of the year? So if i go load master i wont see my wife at all? So its not the best for families?
Been a load for over 10 years and yes it is many days away from family. Is it possible, yes, will it be hard on the family, that is up to you. My suggestion is make sure your relationship is solid and make sure your significant other has a very I mean VERY good support system when you are gone.
I was gonna try to get my bachelors or at least get close so I only need a semester or 2 when Im out to graduate but if I would never be on ground that's gonna be rough, might need to look at others@@HBJ1029
Y'all have a red line painted on the floor at the flightdeck bulkhead, anything to the rear of that line is you're aircraft, anything forward is the pilots. Haha
Do you really use any of the math on the operational side? That's what I'm worried about the most.
Hahahaahahah there’s mahhhhh GIRL!!! Congrats on getting thru the training and upgrading to an actual LM. 😂
