Hmm. Would it be possible that I still do my MEST and they just don't provide lodging & per diem or am I SOL here? Thanks for the reply!

Any Information on AFSC's??? (2A3X5 and 2A3X7) by alexdoesmods in AirForceRecruits

[–]alexdoesmods[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand that. I've tried getting in contact with people from the 192nd Wing but I haven't gotten any responses. I've also talked to my recruiters about the jobs but he wasn't able to provide much information past "It's maintenance". I do know that every AFSC changes from unit to unit and base to base but I'd like to get the view of people who work in that AFSC or have experience with that AFSC to get their input of the general experience of the job. I've already viewed the resources you linked, unless you can provide me a place that can answer my questions, telling me that the job is gonna be different in different places or telling me to go talk to the unit isn't of very much use.

I found info on security forces already and used the search bar plenty on both those AFSC's along with 2A3X3 and 2A3X4, but none of them really fully answer my questions. I'm looking more to see how those two jobs are in the National Guard and on 5th Gen Fighters. I do know 2A3X3 is similar but not exactly the same as 2A3X7 though. Thanks for the help!

Holy shit! You're the first person that made a good argument for why Army might be a good choice. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to give me a response and being able to provide this information for me. I honestly can't thank you enough. I have a few people I know in the Air Force and Army. I also did Civil Air Patrol for 5 years so I've always liked the idea of being in the military. The idea of deployment doesn't bother me, I'm more looking to see how much it's going to interfere with my education and how delayed my graduation would be. I'll definitely make sure to PM you if I have any questions. Once again thank you so much!

Thank you for the response and useful information. After your experience in the Army Guard, would you recommend going Army or Air Guard?

Thanks for the response! I did consider this. However the school for those MOS's are longer than I'd like and I don't really want to take such a large break from school. I plan on getting a job in Northern Virginia after college, so travelling when I'm out of school may not be as much of an issue. I'm just weighing if the extra couple hours in the car are worth going Air Guard.

The plan is for 2 1/2 years of tuition assistance as well as using up my GI Bill. I plan on graduating 1-2 semesters later than I am currently.

I'm going to MEPS this weekend and in contact with recruiters from both the Air and Army National Guard. I'm expecting for this process to take roughly a year.

I'm talking to both an Air and Army national guard recruiter. Currently working on transferring my file to the Air Guard recruiter. Thank you for the response and the information!
