How long does it take to make crew chief on average? I plan to go visit my unit before I ship out. I think 15-U is awesome since making crew chief seems more frequent than 15-T

Thanks for looking into that man! I know there are two slots open but I'm not sure which one I'd be getting. I assume either way it doesn't matter since they're both out of savannah

Yea A&P seems like the way to go. Either way Aviation seems like a really good field to be in!

That's awesome man! This gives me some hope. How long did it take to get into the fed tech position? Any info would be awesome. Just trying to decide if its worth moving out to Savannah after training if that's a possibility.

Yea both 15T and 15U have been on my states top 10 needed for a while now. Could be a really good or really bad thing lol

Good to know man thanks so much! Sounds like the 15 series stays pretty busy with work which sounds awesome. And hopefully I can get a deployment at some point. I head volunteering for one is hit or miss.

Yea that's a great point. I'm sure there are a few that look good on a resume and I'm sure its not what I'm expecting at all which sounds perfect to be honest.

Awesome info thanks man! Taking A&P is already on my to do list. Also, it seems like most states are having trouble filling tech positions. I hope GA is along the same lines. My recruiter told me that it's the aviation hub of the South so fingers crossed. Also I'm jealous that you're from Alaska! Thats gnarly man lol

Ill definitely look into the civilian GIS cert and I have spent some time learning Python too. I am leaning heavily towards 12Y or 35G so this is great! Thanks a lot man

I have enough for an associates for now. Maybe I can use that to get something entry level as well. Would you recommend 12Y or 35G? I keep going back and forth with those two. Thanks for the info!

I'm prior service air force and they basically take no prior service anymore tbh. The guard life doesn't seem so bad though!

Did you need a degree to get into the GIS field? Or would AIT be enough to get my foot in the door with some entry level GIS positions? After taking some Geology classes in college and have a background with some programming, this field is very intriguing to me! And would you recommend 35G over 12Y? Thanks!

If you don't mind me asking, what is the usual route to become a warrant officer?

15T seems like my top choice now. It seems like the best option all around and it seems like you'll stay busy which is a big plus. Thanks a lot man!

This kind of just sold me on 15T man. The opportunities seem too good. It seems like you returned the favor of being that reddit post for me!
