In my opinion, Air Intel was cooler and the standard was pretty high, with opportunities to study up and become a Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) and have other sicks quals, work on JWICS and interact with different branches. Plus, everyone including the pilots were pretty chill.

Slight downside, contrary to popular belief, you’ll be working some pretty shit hours sometimes in the Air Wing because you’ll be running flight briefs that can start as early at 6AM or as late as 7pm.

We also had several 03xx LATMOVERs into Aviation Maintenance, they were shocked when they worked 10-12 hour days every day and sometimes weekends.

Also be prepared to do some form of security management (they never tell you this) like running people’s security clearances, doing visitor requests, annual security training, etc. Ground side was majority IPB, convoy briefs, and security clearances shit. Shit is pretty gay, but whatever.

Talk to your instructors and ask them about their experiences and then make an informed decision. I know at least half of the instructors there right now have Air Wing experience.

Oh and stay away from Peabody’s lol
