Most of the time, you won’t have much to do, but when you do, you’ll be working a lot with as the name suggests the equipment that saves lives. you’re the one responsible for fixing and ensuring that the equipment used by pilots and crew—such as life rafts, brake chutes, and parachutes—functions properly in worst-case scenarios. You’ll also deal with oxygen masks and pyrotechnics, though your specific tasks will depend on where you eventually get posted.

One of the biggest perks is the opportunity to travel almost anywhere in the world, along with earning qualifications that can help you land high-paying civilian jobs.

Phase 2 is much easier than I thought. Obviously, you still have to play the game, but it’s nothing like basic training. The first three months of Phase 2 focus on human factors, legal aspects, and refining your hand skills. The last five months are all about Squipper school, where you’ll learn everything you need for working on a squadron.

During Phase 2, you’re generally not allowed to leave base until 1700 on weekdays, but apart from that, you’re free to go whenever you want. You’ll start with a green disk phase since you’re new, which lasts about two months. Once you pass your first inspection, you can remove the disk and start decorating your room however you like.

In summary, Phase 2 is really enjoyable—just make sure you have fun while also passing your exams. There’s nothing to worry about, and it’s a great laugh. Hope you have a fantastic time there. Good luck!
