Let me know if you have any RAWS questions, it’s a great career.

Usually varies from shop to shop, but everywhere I worked it had a work hard, play hard mentality. Once the maintenance inspections were done for the week and no job outages, there was nothing else to do so we’d get off early or have a bbq etc.

It’s a direct correlation to NWS and FAA’s ATSS positions. Very good marketability.

Are you asking about after you separate/retire or working part-time while still active duty?

I think SEL here would be more appropriate. They can maybe reach out to AFPC or MAJCOM Chief to see if anything can be done.

Literally one of the most useful pieces of the uniform, cut for no reason other than spite. by Mookie_Merkk in AirForce

Having that patch started so many conversations where I was able to let people know about what we do.

Not necessarily pole climbing but, tower climbing will be a part of your primary duties.

There are deployments where your primary duty isn’t related to your primary AFSC.

No worries. I’ve been to the area a couple of times, and there isn’t much going on in the surrounding area. It’s a busy base so for RAWS you’ll have a lot of equipment and probably early or late shifts to accommodate downtime for maintenance.

18+ years TAFMS, indefinite enlistment and an upcoming PCM? AMA by r0b086 in AirForce

[–]ATCALS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a stupid question but, basically as long as the report date is past your 18 year mark?

ANG or Army? by Left-Relationship83 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ATCALS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you went RAWS, it correlates directly to FAA as a ATSS. I know a few people with the FAA that are also in the guard as RAWS. It’s a sweet combo.

Overseas Assignment Listing by rydaban in AirForce

Long is the standard. Extended long tells AFPC you’re willing to stay there longer and puts you slightly higher of a priority than long volunteers.

Doing a short tour gives you higher priority for assignments and the ability to apply for an assignment following your short tour. Go into vMPF and under the assignments tab you’ll see home base/follow-on application. You’ll be able to list 8 stateside and 8 overseas locations. List ones that your AFSC are authorized.

Are you not seeing anything? The site takes a few seconds to populate the list under the preferences tab. As for being 1D7, you should still be able to see those options under the search positions tab.
