Amn Hayes talks his job: Public Affairs 3N0X2

[@MNGinger496]

This would be an awesome series. Interviewing different airman about their jobs.

[@richs6205]

I can see why A1C Hayes is in that field, his voice is perfect for broadcasting. Informative video.

[@layahreign835]

Even though I joined a different branch (Navy) this video was still super helpful because I’m also going into public affairs as a Mass Comm specialist! Our A-school (tech school) is at Fort Meade as well so I’m glad he enjoyed his time there!

[@MiissLashae62]

Future Sailor Carr how long were you in DEP for the job ? Navy says is so rare to get

[@luv3bud]

how did u like it

[@MirandaGulasy]

This is the job I'm going into! I would love more videos on this

[@ida4587]

Miranda Gulasy Did you get it, how did you worked this out with your recruiter?Are you active duty?

[@sleepy401]

Any updates?

[@noahk6635]

You should make this a series, talking to different people about there jobs.

[@jykirachanelle2599]

I'm a Comm college graduate and I'm thinking of joining either branch as a Public Affairs Officer. I want to go into Public Relations and figure it would be a great work experience to work in a marketing/advertising/PR agency later. I also would like to pursue an MBA as well while I'm in. What do you guys think?

[@andrewwright9265]

Hey how are you goals coming along? I am just graduated from advertising school and I'm trying to be a Public Affairs Officer in the Air Force

[@get_on_my_rocketshipandrom8622]

This is what im going for cant wait ❤ thanks for all the great info

[@VideoGuy9461]

Abigail Loves You I just signed a guaranteed contract for Broadcast Journalist. Let me know if you have questions about the audition process.

[@PatrickJMcF]

This is what im shooting as well mind if i hit you up

[@kevinlong7421]

I just signed my contract for this job myself! Did you leave yet? Good luck on your journey!

[@ZoeLoza]

It's 24 college credits, not 25. I know that's only 1 credit difference, but just wanted to clarify :) Also, I really appreciate you making this video! When my husband was trying to figure out what his job (photojournalist) entails there was so little info out there so it's great that you're doing this!

[@TheSayLifeCoach]

This is great. I've worked in television news. Thanks for sharing!

[@madelinedavidson3494]

Matt I think a video on how to go into the Air force would be really helpful. Im currently trying to figure out if I should do ROTC or OTS once I finish my bachelors. I would love your opinion!

[@tatyannatravis5163]

This is great info! I'm currently studying graphic design/mass comm & I'd really like to get into PA with the Air Force. That's actually my number 1 choice (if available of course). Great to know that I'll get credit on top of what I already have.

[@mackmzle]

+Tatyanna Travis you fine as hell.

[@tatyannatravis5163]

+T.M. Sneakers TV thanks

[@AppleBloom21]

Hello did you get the job?

[@kweefsweat5628]

This is my dream job at the moment but I currently have a tattoo on my hand I'm in the process of getting it removed is there any way I can still go through the paper work while I'm getting it removed?

[@HenryNovas]

I really want to be a broadcast journalist and this is helpful because I know the requirement and I will be joining soon.

[@kevinlong7421]

Henry Novas I’m leaving May 1st as a Broadcast Journalist for Air Force! Wish me luck!

[@BradyuNunez]

tbh this job looks sick. highly considering cross-training

[@bobshaw4063]

Great Vlog. How are you liking being stationed at Elmendorf AFB , Ak compared to when you were staioned @ Kadena AFB < Japan ? Have you been taking flying lessons since you pcs'd working on getting your private pilots license? I'm an Air Force Veteran. I got out 25 May ' 75 after coming back from Zweibrucken Air Base , Zweibrucken , Germany. Base closed in the summer of 1991.

[@paulblartjr]

Very interesting. I like this series. Keep it up?

[@_Donatello]

A1C Hayes looks like Norman from the movie Fury lol love your videos they're very informative and motivational 👍

[@vickyeason1110]

I like these videos!! You should do more

[@ZMG13]

Hey man great vid as always. Can you possibly bring someone in to talk about their job in Operations Intelligence? (This just brings up a good idea for more videos. Bringing in people in different job fields to talk about their specific jobs.)

[@cocof9757]

Can you interview someone in Aerospace Medical Service.... please & thanks!! I ship out in June

[@tylerluvskayli9580]

Good luck in tech school! It has the highest wash back rate on the METC campus.

[@cocof9757]

+Tyler LuvsKayli Thanks...what's METC tho?

[@johnhernandez5938]

Don’t be fooled by the name of the job guys. My cousin does this in the AirForce and got into it because he wanted to be a film producer and thought this would give him experience in the field and was pissed when he realized 75% of the time he was just a camera guy talking passport type portrait photos of AirMen and being forced to write lengthy news articles about shit he did not care about.

[@JohnSmith-tt6fx]

At the higher levels youre watching every single news station in a room filled with tvs and its your job to "correct" the media when they get "things wrong" reporting to generals etc

[@ida4587]

It would be amazing if you could interview a Public Affairs Officer, I am aiming at that AFSC.

[@melissacruz4400]

After tech school is there another interview ?

[@ida4587]

I would like to be either of those or a Public Affairs officer since I have a bachelors in education and a Major in Photography. Still undecided of going enlisted or officer or Active vs Air National Guard. Can somebody give me an opinion in going Officer vs Enlisted. I know its more $$ the officer route but I am more into doing things with my hands. Thats why I am undecided.

[@ida4587]

Also Active vs National Guard...I know National Guard you get your job secured and Active you have to choose from 7 jobs...but I would like to get either Broadcast or Photojournalist. How can I land either of those two. Can this be worked with the recruiter?

[@pinkcatapult]

aimhigh_ida national guard is once a month like reserves and you work directly for the state. Active you work for the federsl government. The first step is get in the high 80s on your asvab otherwise you wont even qualify. Talk to your recruiter good luck.

[@ThePaganSun]

@@pinkcatapult Actually, Air National Guard get BOTH federal and state benefits but that's because we serve both federal (in case of war and can get deployed like the Reserves) and the state (if there's a state of emergency or natural disaster in that state).

[@EricGyamfighettotastic]

I really want this job, plus it's what I do in my highschool career class. but I'm not sure I'll can pass the voice test

[@TheGodNando]

he's from my brother flight

[@TabiBerry1740]

Thank you soooo much for making this video! I'm going in as a reservist but I will be doing broadcast journalism . I'm so passionate about it and hearing him talk about it made me even more excited! In the video though I think he said tech school was 6 months? I read online that it was a month and a half? And was his audition before he left for bmt ? Or right after? Also what is his rank? I have college credits so I will be graduating with a second stripe , so what would that entail when it comes to my responsibilities for public affairs? Great video and thanks again for making this! Ur awesome!!!

[@WildBlueYonder]

+TabiBerry1740 The audition is before you leave for BMT. And he's currently an Airman (one stripe). Your basic responsibilities will be exactly to what Amn Hayes has, so that includes filming, doing interviews, editing, etc. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesburton1050]

+WildBlueYonder Great video. Do you happen to know is this where a lot of the social media stuff originates in the military, or is it somewhere else?

[@thejquinn]

Hey WBY, wondering if you could interview a computer systems programmer or financial management comptroller, if possible Thanks

[@jamesbenson9914]

Hi! Can you please make a video about the Civil Air Patrol? People probably watch your videos who can become a cadet. This could really help their AF career if they so choose. It's a great program if you could please make a video on it. Thanks WildBlueYonder!

[@k2GLHF]

What squadron?

[@jamesbenson9914]

Kelley Faraone Enid Composite. SWR-OK-110 (Ghostriders)

[@k2GLHF]

Cool, La Cross Composite, GLR-WI-037

[@jamesbenson9914]

Kelley Faraone Nice! Always great to run in to other cadets. What's your rank?

[@k2GLHF]

C/A1C, don't know why I get these messages so late.

[@elcoopo4023]

Hey WildBlueYonder, i've been a big fan of your videos they really really helped me while i was in the DEP to prepare for BMT and the Air Force as a whole so firstly i would like to thank you for that i would have been lost without you as well as Kyle Gott, i finshed tech school about a month ago and found out i was actually getting sent to Jber AFB and then once i found out you were stationed here as well the chance to meet you was very exciting btw the videos you made of Jber also helped me with my transition here, im working as a parachute rigger in air transportation if you would want me to help contribute with this i would really really like to help explain what my job is all about since the air force website says very little about my afsc and im sure at least one person is confused about the afsc as i was if you would be interested let me know!

[@yutheflerlim5224]

Do you have to pay for flight and hotel for the audition? Public affairs is my number 1 as a media arts major at University but ticket to Colorado from where I am will be very expensive .not to mention hotel.

[@megan9459]

Can someone please inform me in how Public Affairs Officer's get to travel overseas? Also, what travel is like in the Air Force?

[@theheritageroom7359]

im a tacp now and if I get old and can't do it anymore this is defiantly a Crosstrain option lmao

[@Chelesmundo]

What do you do WBY?

[@mickfunny4185]

+Christian Alvarez Fixes ejection seats or something.

[@JasonNguyenProductions]

He does Egress systems

[@mackmzle]

Hey man i need to get in contact this guy... I Graduated with a degree in communications. Which would go well with the public Affairs jobs. I need some tips on how to study.... I need a 72 on the general portion of the test. And I'm struggling with the AR portion of it and the MK.

[@CJ-hn8kq]

Me too! How is the process going for you? Are you going in as an Officer or Enlisted? Let me know if you have any good tips.

[@jykirachanelle2599]

I just graduated with a Degree in Communications as well, any advice or suggestions?

[@TMcWilliamsTV843]

+Chelsey J I'm actually in DEp right now waiting to leave. Check out my channel. For updates.

[@TMcWilliamsTV843]

+Jykira Baker yeah check out my channel for some updates. I also made a video on how I passed the asvab.

[@CJ-hn8kq]

Will do! Thanks and good luck!

[@kevinsalomon4303]

@WildBlueYonder after tech school do you pick the base you want to go or how does that work?

[@WildBlueYonder]

+Kevin Salomon You should totally watch my "A Breakdown: Air Force Dream Sheets" video! Should answer any questions you have

[@alonzoterry3123]

Aye man I want to be a photojournalist in the air force I was wondering how difficult it is to secure a job like that thanks man

[@ZoeLoza]

+Daniel Terry Hey, my husband is photojournalist if you have any questions specific to that let me know, he's happy to help! He went in open general and got the job at BMT. It was his first choice.

[@mackmzle]

+Zoe Wolff im also interested in photojournalism as well. Is there any way i could contact you?

[@ZoeLoza]

T.M. Sneakers TV Yeah! Shoot me an email! [e-mail]

[@mackmzle]

+Zoe Wolff I just emailed you. Thanks.

[@ZoeLoza]

T.M. Sneakers TV No problem! Happy to help! And I'll definitely be putting out some videos soon with my husband that covers the basics of his job!

[@nikolasbrewington2615]

sounds like a cool job, but I already booked Aircraft E&E =]

[@yeritzamejia5901]

It sounds like my dream job but I got a 70 on the ASVAB I needed a 72 smh 🙄🙄🙄

[@ida4587]

yeritza mejia did you took the asvab again?

[@gabrielguzman6018]

Does this job get deployed overseas?

[@nmrincon14]

can you do an interview with someone in air traffic control sometime?

[@rz5401]

Do you mind in future videos putting the scores needed for those of us barely going in?

[@WildBlueYonder]

+rolan zuniga Got it! like the ASVAB scores?

[@rz5401]

+WildBlueYonder yea like the scores required to get X AFSC (qualify)

[@AnthonyCole]

what happens if you get speeding tickets on base vs off base? Do the police report it to your superior's for a off base ticket?

[@WildBlueYonder]

+XboxPcMan Interesting question! Well, off base, it's just like getting a ticket as a civilian. You just pay the fine to the local whatever and keep it moving. If you're on base, you don't actually get a ticket, you'll just have to go see your commander/first sgt. Then they lecture you and that's it. It's kind of weird. However, if you get more than 3 tickets in a year, you get your base driving privileges revoked

[@djasso12]

gosh you are so handsome! i love your videos btw! lol

[@kevinyankee2]

+Diana Jasso Yonder, you have an admirer!

[@ELthatsLoreel]

didnt mention how easy/hard it is to book that job. like how often it drops. really interested in this job, but dont want to put it down and wait months for it to become available :/ .....open general?

[@ZoeLoza]

+ELthatsLoreel My husband put down photojournalist as his first choice and waited 6 months before just deciding to go open general and he ended up getting it.

[@ELthatsLoreel]

+Zoe Wolff Thanks. figured a more desirable job like this wouldn't be available often.

[@ZoeLoza]

ELthatsLoreel Not only is it desirable, but it's also a fairly small job field. But if you're willing to wait for it, it's pretty awesome. Be prepared though, it's one of the more intense tech schools.

[@ThatOneDreadHead]

You're chances are 0% to 100%. Meaning we don't know when jobs drops. I would assume the job won't drop as often because it's an incredibly small field. Don't go Open General if you're job locked on Public Broadcast.

[@vicgambrell1789]

I qualified for this job it was on my list but i did not receive it would it be possible to cross train and get into it after i have been in?

[@WildBlueYonder]

+Vic Gambrell It's possible, yes. Is it guaranteed, nope.

[@iPwnInc]

How hard do you think it is to become a Combat Controller?

[@armandomedina4263]

Lol hard

[@KevRunsOnDunkin]

It takes Blood Sweat Tears and Danger. Seriously though it's really hard and if you aren't strong mentally and physically you will not make it.

[@GritGrindGrow]

Wild Blue, bro the background music is really good and I am thankful for it, but it's starting to get repetitive in the overview of all your videos. Could you change it up a bit, just something to think about

[@WildBlueYonder]

+AirForcePower88 I gotcha

[@Tech-nicallyBlack]

I’m from DC

[@MelHyde]

Public affairs seems great hahaha

[@reneesaavedra5053]

This is sweet! Do you know anybody that is a SecFo dog handler? I'm currently in the process of enlisting myself & my recruiter told me shared some info, but more would be super helpful. Thanks, have a good day :)

[@chriszerafin5483]

I bought few practice books for asvab any tips to get a good score ?

[@ThatOneDreadHead]

Remember basic things like long division and dividing with decimals.

[@WildBlueYonder]

+Chris Zerafin Pick up the books, and then study them. Lol. That's literally the best thing you can do. Just study! And go back over the materials that are on the test to freshen up
