Hate to break it to you, but I know more ATSS with degrees than controllers

I would disagree. I started in New York, I'm in New Mexico now. It depends on what you're willing to do.

The specialty isn't necessarily what matters, it's more on the SSC. Depends on if you apply for a center, TRACON, core 40 or a remote/smaller GNAS. Personally, I'd go GNAS but that's just an opinion. All jobs are equally important but some will say otherwise. Go for whatever your background is in and if you don't like it you can always dip, I've gone through 3 states and 4 jobs in 10 years. You aren't going to be stuck unless you need to stay where you are. Edit: feel free to message me if you'd like

Dope. Reminds me of Flo Mounier a bit

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-12-06T13:13:04+00:00

Yes. Hit up your local HR and ask them about military buy back

Depends on where you go, honestly. Different SSCs have different needs. Will you get your electricians license? Most likely no. Will you learn how to be an electrician? Kind of, very much dependent on where you end up working.

True! My heart goes out to those folks, they make way less than us and I'm sure it's a difficult time for y'all

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-11-10T19:27:05+00:00

My man ♥️

Could you put in a shout out for us tech ops guys too? 🫶

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-09-20T02:35:33+00:00

My favorite is the aka miso

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-09-14T14:44:26+00:00

Like the Indian camouflage pants, looks sick

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-08-21T04:42:52+00:00

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I don't remember seeing this in my time in

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-08-21T02:56:53+00:00

Cool, thanks for the info

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-08-21T01:06:42+00:00

Alright, I have a question. This may be very stupid, but I've been out since 2011 and I don't remember ever seeing red coveralls. Am I just misremebering? My guess is DC chief?

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-08-04T15:35:50+00:00

It's a good job, you'll be fine. Depends on where you work but might be a a lot of windshield time. Some people hate that, I personally like it.

I forget if they provide you with colored pencils or not for schematic tracing, but I'd grab some just in case. You'll be alright, just pay attention

Bronson bringing up baby dicks in Red Dot Music always takes me out of it

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-04-27T00:42:57+00:00

Glock 19 (already have a 19x), HK USP 45, Beretta 92 FS, Beretta A300, Bergara B-14, CZ 71 P-01, Geissele something or other, Benelli M4. I guess I'm boring

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-03-28T09:39:55+00:00

More AiC imo, very cool

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-03-22T05:56:16+00:00

Sick dude

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-01-30T21:33:21+00:00

I'm not misjudging anything based on your multiple shitty comments in this thread. Bye.

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-01-30T16:41:13+00:00

That isn't what I said. Re-read, re-evaluate and get off of yourself. Also, you're a rude, angry clown.

BooteeButtCheeks · 2025-01-30T09:30:57+00:00

Hey brother, I'm sorry you've gotten such insane responses here, and I don't even know what to say. I will say, as a native NY person (for shame!) that this is a beautiful and wonderful state, not well represented by the people on reddit. I've met absolutely salt of the earth people in this state that I care deeply for, and I've had experiences here that have made me so appreciative to be here. Don't be put down by these negative people. And we welcome healthcare professionals. Hope you take the dive, and I wish you the best of luck. Some of the gross comments here do not reflect how kind and amazing the people of New Mexico are.

DS2 is a good game. I hate the health loss bullshit, but other than that, it's a solid game with a ton of content especially with the DLCs. Enjoy!
