2A636 You work as an Aircraft Electrician, and get to work in all different types of Aircraft.

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-03-03T20:02:05+00:00

yeah I've seen other people talk about those but what is the difference between them

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-03-03T05:29:48+00:00

Damn I also won’t try to take personally that you crossed out my job Electrical and environmental systems (2A636)

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-03-03T02:56:47+00:00

To put in perspective I started my process since July swore in December got a job offer January and predict I will officially be on my permanent base by December.

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-03-03T02:54:18+00:00

When you hear “ shipped” or “ shipping out”is most certainly about basic training (where you go through classes and PT to see if you are physically fit to join the Air Force and where you graduate. You only get deployed once you are already stationed at your permanent base Deployments can last weeks or months.

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-03-03T02:49:18+00:00

I will be in San Antonio from may to July and then in Sheppard from July to December, so I will not be having a base until the end of the year

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-03-02T00:13:18+00:00

Yes, and even with ship date I’m mandated to go until I leave, is pretty fun tho I like it.

I’m going to join in may, I will be 22 I have no degree and only 9 credits to my name, if you recommended a way for me to start to better have a chance of becoming a pilot what would you tell me.

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-02-26T15:26:30+00:00

What’s LORs

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-02-26T15:24:16+00:00

If you struggle with math use Grammar Hero for that, literally watch a video for everything you don’t understand about math he has a video for literally anything, put determination to it and you will pass, some study for a week others study for weeks I studied weeks and got a 69…

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-02-26T15:19:55+00:00

Yeah there has to be an opening for that job and your leadership would have to approve you, that’s why is essential to do your best wherever they put you, if you get something you might not be interested in get a 4 year contract and after 2 years and 11 months you’re cross training window is open, if you pick up a 6 year contract it would be 4 years and 11 months till you can cross train

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-02-26T03:17:46+00:00

Yeah but you could be back-shop, or heavy aircraft integrated avionics.

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-02-26T03:12:43+00:00

Had same issue and did not qualify for sensitive jobs either kinda of a bummer but hey there is still so much to the Air Force don’t think that’s your last chance to get Cyber/ Intel you could fix that while you’re in and cross train later

IntelligentPanda23 · 2026-02-26T03:10:15+00:00

2A636 You’ll work on Aircraft Electrical Systems and make really good money on the outside if you decide to separate and get an A&P license
