These videos are just to scratch the surface. Once I get all the job interviews done I plan on going back and doing in depth video interviews about the jobs based on their popularity of these original videos.
Jetdoctor: a smart way to go, I went around about route though, started out in fast attack submarines then got out and went to Colorado aero tech with my military $. Received my A&p early 88. My son is trying to pick an air force job. This route would have saved me from 4.5. Navy yrs. anyways the A&P has taken me now at 23 years with the freighter known as big brown, starts with a “U”. Our top out take 5 yrs and current ly is just short of 70$ hr(2 more) on this contract. My sons senareo is , at 18 now and gets in and out of the Air Force, hires into big brown he will be at 80$ hr by the time he’s 27. Our double time hrs are very generous as is vacation time ( I’ll have 9 aka next year)
Jetdoctor: medical benefits are like no other pension and 401k ( hit a million in retirement #s in 17 yrs FYI) it’s the best contract in the whole industry
False. That shred stays with you until you make tech. E shred goes to F when you go operational. That shred he has (and what I had when I was in) lets you work F-16s, B-1s. There’s a few others but those are the airframes I personally worked. 🙄 Please redo this video with a SSgt or someone higher up. He’s too new and doesn’t really understand how mx works. Definitely get a flightline, back shop and test cell person because each section is very different. It would be extremely beneficial to your audience to find people that have worked multiple airframes and talk about the learning process of learning the new jet. There is so much to this career field and this guy completely missed the mark.
Jared Jimenez That would be a question you should ask your recruiter. When I came in open mechanical in 2013, I picked a list of career fields and got this one. I was assigned a shred when I got my class date. The AF is always changing but to my knowledge, you don’t get to pick shred outs, it’s just the luck of the draw.
@Samzlab boxing The technical aspect of job was great. The people, especially leadership were terrible. It made life miserable. I got out in March and haven’t regretted it. I don’t recommend a maintainer career field to anyone. It’s crappy and not worth the pay. It does pay decent in civilian world and you have the freedom to quit if people at work are terrible. The best way I can put it is: You get paid the same as someone who sits at a desk, in a climate controlled environment for 8 hours a day and they also get an hour lunch. Look at the divorce and suicide rates for the AF. There’s a reason why those are higher among maintainers and security forces.
Honestly this video is horrible. This guy does not describe this afsc very well. If i were looking at joining this video would not tell me anything note worthy about the job at hand. The issue is he's speaking to experienced maintainers. Not people who know little to nothing about being a jet troop. Sincerely A1C Smith 2A651C. Please redo this video with more descriptive information.
... He’s been in for 3 years, 1 airframe, backshop and probably hasn’t deployed. He doesn’t have enough experience. That’s probably why he doesn’t know much and thinks “it’s all take things apart and put it back together.”
Flightline all my career. QA was a nice break along with expediter, but to sum it up, do something that doesn’t destroy your body and make the same amount of money that Billy makes looking at a computer while messing up your pay every 6 months.
This video doesnt do our careerfield justice. There is so much more to the job. I recommend re doing the video...

@@AirmanVision that makes sense. And the video is fine, I just say the brevity of our job goes beyond what the individual knows.
@Rndldd naw
i didn’t know how accurate this video is until I started doing this job.
did it take you 3 months in tech school as well?
@@chrisb.ramirez1080 yah
This is great! I ship out tomorrow for this AFSC. Wish me luck everybody! I’ll see you guys in 2 months!
Quick update, I made it through Basic and I’m in tech school for this AFSC right now!
Donovan Reynolds how is it?
Evelyn’s TH-cam it’s cool! I got D-shred and I’m a backshop technician at Seymour Johnson. So far I like it
@@dereynolds01 big oof on Shady J.
Richard Corrigan it’s not as bad as everybody makes it out to be, but I would like to go somewhere else haha
Can we get an Aircraft electrical and environmental systems (2A636) interview?
It's crazy, I actually went to tech school, in the same class as Garner!
The pup at 3:07 was like a guest star 😁

Some shifts are 3 13 hrs days, 4 days off every week
Sounds very good
Love these videos, shipping out in a few months and these really help me to narrow down what jobs I want
Awesome video and incredible interview. A new job has made it to the online encyclopedia. Keep it up.
I'm an aerospace propulsionist, you hold your shred way after tech school. I'm a 5 level and still c shred.
hey im looking at this job in the air force how do u like it and what shred do u have?
XxAlphaWolfxX100 avoid mx at all costs. You’re welcome bro.
The shreds change around a lot
Fighters start with E and D shred and move to F as a 5 level
This is literally what I’m gonna do, I hope BMT isn’t gonna wear me out or have me grow as a person
Omg my husband thinks the same and his job also aerospace propulsion. Today is his first day at Sheppard. Waiting more for your videos
This video helped a lot! Thank you!
Great video, can I please suggest Aircraft electrical and environmental? That’s going to be my job soon. Thank you for your videos 💕

Pretty cool! Hubby just graduated tech school for propulsion in April!

Jenny Michelle thanks for that. I’m open mechanical and if I end up getting this job do I get to pick which shred I can work on?

@@kuddlingkittens6053 How do you like this afsc? Are you happy you chose it? Its on my job list and very interested. Any info would help thanks.

Flightline > Backshop

2A6x1H....MFE!
This guy drank too much of the kool-aid. Want to know what it's really like, check out the Air Force reddit page. Avoid MX jobs and be a nonner.

Well, has has only been in for 3 years and working on 1 airframe.
And this doesn't even describe how many awesome things we can do.
Richard Corrigan yea ima crew chief ik engine troops do more than jus this
