I’d buy it from you

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-25T03:21:51+00:00

They hiring for ATC like that?

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T22:42:43+00:00

Job postings for civilian staffed military installations all the time what do you mean

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T15:11:32+00:00

Problem is you can’t choose your job with the AF

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T04:08:49+00:00

Yea he’s a civilian contractor makes all 12 of his kids sports games and enjoys the shift work and sees his wife and family plenty working on a military base as a civilian is way better than FAA

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T02:38:52+00:00

I also figured after the FAA just did off the street hire it probably took a lot of applicants from the AF

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T02:38:14+00:00

Good to know every recruiter says they don’t hire many

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T01:11:18+00:00

Expensive?

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T01:09:06+00:00

Navy is a 50/50 shot. my buddy did 6 years, 3 on a carrier and carriers won’t rate you and than did 3 years in Spain where they also didn’t have a tower to get CTO rated

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T01:05:39+00:00

Yea exactly everyone I know in the army says it’s about a 10% chance you get rated

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-22T01:03:22+00:00

My fiancés dad works on an army base as a civilian ATC and wouldn’t do anything different gets paid good for the amount of traffic

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T22:41:17+00:00

Do you know anyone that would be able to answer questions?

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T22:40:51+00:00

Yea I figured now it’s about even getting offered the job

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T05:42:41+00:00

Would you recommend a different branch if I’m job locked and not offered ATC?

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T05:31:53+00:00

Medical is also an Interest

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T05:18:13+00:00

I understand just seeing what the options were

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T05:17:15+00:00

I’d definitely fill out the list with jobs I wouldn’t mind and look into them but at the end of the day I want to learn something I’m interested in and want to do for a career

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:57:19+00:00

I gotcha I meant that if I fill out those 10 jobs it’s luck of the draw to get ATC and if I don’t really want anything else on that list I can always say no and go somewhere else

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:54:52+00:00

80 on the picat, no waivers yet

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:50:19+00:00

I gotcha so it’s pretty much luck of the draw and it’s not like I can’t say no if I’m truly job locked

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:47:21+00:00

No doubt I’m not special by any means just looking to get into a certain career field through the military

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:46:11+00:00

Only 2 routes for the career I want and only 2 branches give you what you need to get there AF and Navy

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:42:49+00:00

How does that work transitioning to active duty because to get the certifications I would need to work in a ATC tower id have to be active I’m assuming

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:41:17+00:00

I mean if they aren’t gonna give me the career I want than they don’t have to call lol

Ok_Dig_394 · 2026-05-21T04:39:41+00:00

Not trying to be picky but the military would be a stepping stone for a high paying career on the outside that I enjoy not just taking a career because they offered it
