3 Years in the Air Force - Should You Join?

[@Sk8Gnarley]

❤️

[@cesarortiz5974]

video about transition to civilian life and how you’re prepping or things you’re working on to make the transition smooth

[@Jo-xd4ne]

You should make a video about saving money in the Air Force and unknown military discounts.

[@alexblanco2227]

Thanks for all the info, you're awesome! I've been thinking of enlisting, somewhere in Cyber, but I am considering doing the Reserves. I was wondering, if you could go back and do it again, would you enlist as Reserves or Active Duty and why?

[@bigmase502]

I watched your videos before I joined and just passed my 1 year anniversary for BMT. Heard you say Midwest, I’m at Offutt

[@bigmase502]

Just got to the Illinois part, lol. Guessing you’re at Shaw. Got some SF friends over there.

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Im at Scott! Thanks for watching btw

[@bigmase502]

Jonathan Sullivan what I meant lol - wb

[@PositivityPeakk]

I am waiting for medical papers to clear me for the Air Force but this gives me a good idea how the Air Force can be. Thank you John.

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Millennium IV no problem! Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@misleadedsorrow833]

Hey Jonathan, I leave for BMT soon as a signed on Para-rescue Airmen. And i wanted to know what you wished you'd brought to BMT, as well as some tips?

[@tonycrockett]

I leave March 17th for Cyber Systems Operations🙂

[@maativerson8056]

Tony Crockett April 7th for the same 🤙🏽

Good luck!

[@nathanielhallmark4929]

Dang I leave March 5th for CSO!!

[@SteverTheBeaver]

march 17 for airlift special mission aircraft maintenance, good luck brother

[@benwander6257]

Best of luck. I have yet to run into a vet that has said they didn't regret getting out.

[@zomebody5529]

Bro said the Midwest lacks in food 💀💀💀 what does the west coast have besides Canes, Chick-Fil-A, and In-N-Out?

[@meljenkins1016]

So I see you are married. One big mistake a lot of young guys do when they joined the air force in my days (mid 1970's) is getting married when joining. There were some career fields in the air force that you cannot take your wife with you. Assignments that you had to be away from your wife for a whole year. I'm sure that all changed now since the end of the cold war.

[@lukel3046]

u said mid-west lacks in food. I’m from Illinois. I felt that lol. I was stationed in the mid-west first but Thank god I’m stationed on the west coast now 🤟

[@tyerannical3650]

Im leaving for basic tuesday. Im going in as open Mech.

[@andrebodaojr.1712]

TYE rannical have fun being a crew chief mate cheers to you

[@treywest9987]

Hey Jonathan, I love ur videos. I scored a 54 and cyber jobs was on my list. My recruiter said I wouldn’t be able to qualify for the jobs . Is 54 a decent score or should I retake asvab ?

[@Sk8Gnarley]

It all depends on what job specifically you want to do, ask your recruiter for a list with the score requirements. If you need to retest to get the score you want then do it! Just remember it doesn’t guarantee youll get that job, just the chance at it. Also thanks for watching im glad you like the videos!

[@kuromartinez2807]

I’m nervous I’ll get a bad score on the test and I won’t get a job I enjoy 😭 I always panic for any test and do great on it but the chance of not doing good makes me feel Ill 😭

[@haildarthvegeta1094]

Same..

[@stoneviper2445]

You can always retest, doesn't take that high of a score to qualify for a lot of the jobs.

[@ptbempire]

Going on 4 yrs now and idk how I feel tbh. Part of me says yes re up but other part says fuck no

[@rgamer6454]

I’m about to join the AF and I’m looking into cyber system operations or cyber transport system as a career. They bout sound similar to me, I don’t have any experience in IT but I’m would like to work with data centers, switches, routers stuff like that and eventually get my ccna certification . Can you get me any advice on what career should I choose. Thank you for your time Jonathan!

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Cyber transport is definitely more that job, cyber system ops is server administration work, we dont really work with switches etc. in that manner. Hope that helps! Both are great jobs though.

[@rgamer6454]

@@Sk8Gnarley thanks, it definitely helps!!

[@maativerson8056]

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Good luck!

[@ggitsriven2651]

When you say that you are about to finish your 4 years, do you mean your 4 years of active duty meaning you still have 4 years left? If i'm not mistaken i believe all contracts specify a total of 8 years.

[@ConsolidatedART]

I really want to join the Air Force and grew up on Oahu in Hawaii.. What are the chances of getting a cyber job/career at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam? Im trying to find my angle to get back to Hawaii.. Looking into Cybersecurity and wonder if it would be to my advantage to get my CompTia Security+ certification first before enlisting.

[@anthonyp3491]

I ship out March 17th on an electrical aptitude contract and I’m pretty nervous as to which job I’m gonna end up with

[@AOTDagents]

It is worth choosing not to be a chess piece, but are there things learned in the air force that can’t be learned outside of?

[@Sk8Gnarley]

No not really tbh, made a lot of friends and had a bit of job security for 4 years but all info for my job in IT is publicly available

[@drewazzone7056]

Shipping out April 14th !

[@deewill8915]

Now in your career, are you skilled in coding/ programming/ reading code?

[@TheOnlyOneStanding8079]

I feel that. I have to lose 60 pounds to be eligible. I'm 40 pounds down, just 20 to go. Hope you made it in the last year!

[@brandeethompson7873]

I been watching your videos and following your career as designer for a while, i enjoyed your videos, I am a tech school right now, sadly I was not able to get the job i wanted cyber system, i have avionics back shop, I don't think i gonna like it but it is what it is, at least i have to use this time to finish a college degree and use the benefits we have in the military, Btw ill appreciate if you can recommend me a good college to study online, Computer Science or Aerospace Engineering, Rocket Science? my first duty station will be at Shaw, SC. thanks and I hope to keep seen your videos around here.

[@Sk8Gnarley]

Thanks for following along and watching I appreciate it! Just make the most out of the situation you’re in and stay focused on your goals and you’ll be fine. I can recommend WGU I know a lot of people that do that online, its self paced too. Good luck!
