Choosing the branch of service that is right for you is important. There are similarities between them all, and there are also differences. Personally, I work in the Air Force as a Visual Imagery and Intrusion Detection Systems Journeyman. In this career field, I have learned basic electronics, security systems, television and monitors, studio equipment and satellite uplinks and downlinks. I am still waiting on my top secret clearance, along with a presidential endorsement.
The job demands a certain amount of personal responsibility, and often you might find yourself working at a higher level of responsibility than you are being paid for. It can be tough, demanding, of your time, and both mentally and physically. There are bad days. There are days that it ends up being cold, someone did something stupid to break a piece of equipment, and you have to fix it, no matter what. There are good days when things seem to go your way. Of course, deployments around the globe are always an option.
If I had to do it over again, I might go into the Navy instead, partially because they have a far superior electronics program, where things have to be repaired at a much higher level or reliability, because no one wants to send out contractors to a ship somewhere. If I stayed in the Air Force, perhaps I would have gone to a career field that is bigger, but not too far apart from what I am currently working in. There are less than 500 people in the Air Force working in my career field, which at higher ranks can stifle promotion opportunities and assignments. I hope this can shed some light on a subject where it might have been dim before |
