1a831 airborne cryptologic linguist g721/18/2024 The good thing about DLI is that your teachers are all natives and you have little to no military oversight in the classroom, depending on your language. I'm retraining out of 1A8 into the 1N at Goodfellow right now and it sucks. I don't believe you can become a linguist without getting 100 or better on DLAB unless they've totally changed something. Your mileage may vary I hear things are different elsewhere. Other stuff: pay is better, $250-$400 per month in language pay, $125+ per month in flight pay, deployments of course come with additional pay and no taxes. Generally chill environment, do some work, have some "root beer" and jalapeno popcorn, leave at 3 or so independent self-starters will find more success than people who prefer a more structured environment. As aircrew you have, rough estimate, 50 or so ground and flight training items that it's your responsibility to be current in, so that occupies some time as well. I rode around in helicopters and rucked around in the desert for a week playing OPFOR for a major exercise. Many opportunities to do fun bonus stuff - RED FLAG Nellis or Alaska, ANGEL THUNDER, FOAL EAGLE/TEAM SPIRIT/whatever it's called now, joint stuff with other services, etc. Training sorties are boring, but at least it breaks the monotony. Office work is office work and depends on the office, generally pretty low-key though. Basically eat -> fly -> gym -> eat -> chill -> sleep, lather, rinse, repeat, count your fat stacks of Benjamins.Īverage work week: on average, office work 4 days, fly 1 day. Deployments are cool and people volunteer for them all the time. Could be anything from 1:1 dwell to essentially voluntary. I spoke a little bit of Italian, which I've since forgotten.ĭeployments: depends on airframe. Goodfellow sucks, unless you have no taste, in which case you'll love San Angelo. As a prior service retrainee you'll be loving it though, all the benefits of being in Monterey without the AETC BS. Since everyone else seems to be a cave-dweller, here's an aircrew perspective. Troll and spam posts/comments will be deleted.Īll Airmen from any Air Force are welcome here, though we are overwhelmingly from the US!

This information might be slightly outdated, but it'll give you a good idea of what you qualify for.Welcome to the United States Air Force subreddit. Or he either he really doesn't know this stuff. I know I sound clueless but my recruiter isn't telling me that much. Mechanical: 24 (very bad, but I have no interest in that field) Is it supposed to be like that? Sorry about all the questions but I do want to be very informed. The Army tells you what score you need in a certain area for a job on their website but I don't know why the Air Force isn't giving that information. The Air Force official website ( United States Air Force - ) also doesn't give me an idea of what I can do. I'm 17 so if things go well at MEPS next week, then I will be on the Delayed Entry Program. I know it's about serving the country but at the same time, I do want to go into a career that I'm interested in. Do you think my recruiter is basically telling me to not be picky and to just take anything? I don't think I'm being picky. Can someone who has been to MEPS for the Air Force please explain more? My cousin is in the Air Force but he said things have changed a lot since he first went in which was 8 years ago. Then again, those post were 5 to 10 years old. That kind of baffled me because when I was reading old forum posts, some people said to put down a list of careers that you want to do. ![]() He told me not to worry about careers and to think about benefits. So I took the ASVAB and I asked my recruiter about what jobs I can do.
