What do you mean? If you joined for 4 years you MAY be able to cross train in 3... and 5 if you did 6 years. There are jobs that work with predator i think they are in vegas.. maybe new mexico, you wont be flying it though lol Unless your going in commissioned

I thought 2 people work on a predator? 1 is a pilot and the other is the SO who does the recon stuff

So anyone know what the air traffic control program is like? Is it something thats in demand with the AF, would i be able to land a spot if i told my recruiter thats what i want to do. Where do you get stationed after boot camp?

Its rough. I think there were 5 people with me in basic who were atc. I think 2 made it... After basic you go to Keesler afb. Its a pretty long tech school but when i was there you waited almost 2 months before you started. They were backed up... Im not sure about how much they are needed though.

Thanks for the responses. So how often do you guys get to go home and visit family and stuff. After tech school do you go straight to where your assigned or do you go home for a few weeks then get shipped out. Once your shipped out how often can you come back to your hometown?

Air Force is a great career, but unlike all of the other service branches there is no program for overweight candidates.

You can take leave after tech school if you like and go home..then to your duty station. But honestly where ever you go turns into home. I mean thats where your going to live. But me personally i take leave for a few days every few months and drive home to see people. But im only about 600 miles away so its not too bad. You get 2.5 days of leave a month so. after two months you can take off a week of work..

That's cool that your not too far from home, what happens if i was stationed in Korea for example and decided to take two weeks off once i get that amount of vacation time in. Would they be able to fly me back to Los Angeles or would i have to take the time off in Korea? Thanks for answering all my questions so far.

When you are on leave you can go where ever you want. You will just be paying
