    As an Former Air Force Air Transportation Supervisor 2T271 (seven level) Aerial Port Squadron, I totally agree with you, the perks and opportunities for a five level in almost all career fields are great, I was able to attend more schools, and some awesome opportunities for tdy assignments were available for five levels and above. So put in the extra hours of studying and training now, you won’t regret it.

      Dylan Lowry just so you know, Air Force and structural firefighting are very different, if you want structural go to army, if you want airport marines or Air Force

      Christina Cisco My dad was in Security Forces for 4-6 years. He never did any police work. All he did was guard gates and aircraft hangers. Not to mention he also got to guard Nukes in Wyoming BY HIMSELF, in the middle of fields in winter living out of a truck with a camper shell and eating MREs in -0 temputures for weeks at a time.

    Love the content. Quick question on PT at tech school: From other videos I've seen it seems like a lot of the physical training at Goodfellow is job specific stuff (carries, drags, etc). To what extent does that kind of training replace the traditional military "pushup-situp-run" style training that characterizes BMT? Thanks!

    Hey man, I'm shipping 17 July for Fire Protection and have a couple questions I'd love to see in a future Q&A. How many runs do you guys normally get on a 24? With a 24 on/24 off schedule you always have work the next morning. How does that affect your personal life? Finally, how does taking leave work for your job? If you take say 2 days off for leave does that mean you technically get 5 days off because you're just taking 2 24's off? Thanks a lot

  • @ddramos956

    Watching you go through your checks reminds me of when I was first enlisted and I would do the same thing as a diesel mechanic. The military was great and I would never change it for the world. Are you going to college for anything?

      Well you can’t get to where I’m at because you’re joining a completely different branch. I’m at a Air Force base, I’m in the Air Force as a firefighter. Completely two different careers. Best chances is trying to go Air Force with fire protection as your job.

    • @dsavage636
      @dsavage636 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Roberto Sella No. Your certifications won’t matter on the DOD side. You will be trained and receive the certs you need to work on our side. In short you have to join the military as a firefighter. Those jobs are not easy to get and we the army and marines train with the Air Force and graduate from the same fireschool which is Goodfellow AFB.

    • @ww2reenactors
      @ww2reenactors 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not true, Certs definitely help. I’m currently in the process and I received certs through Florida. Those certs got me a confidency booking and help you go in as a higher rank. You do have to take the certifications again, but they definitely help.

    @Chris-jv7im 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was hoping you would touch on this but that's okay. When you're an air force firefighter, do you you use air force ranking or firefighter ranking? Or both? In essence, do people refer to you as rookie/firefighter/lieutenant/captain/chief, or as airman/airman 1st class/sergeant/and so on. Was also wondering if you need to be an EMT or be trained as an EMT to do your job
