@@daynight4087 as previously stated, it’s extremely uncommon for prior service to enlist in the Air Force. Sometimes as few as 50 slots per year are open to prior service. And the slots that are open are for jobs that probably aren’t that great. But hell, coming from the marines, I’m sure you’ll find any Air Force job cake. My advice, having been someone whose job made me frequent the flight line, I would stay away from maintenance involving aircraft. Unless you really enjoying working long hours. Even in my limited role on the line, the Pro Super at Osan was a total ass. Even when it was their loaders who dropped the munitions to cause the evacuation 🙄 anyway, good luck.

@@neerajnongmaithem392 -O's typically enjoy a higher quality of life than E's all other factors being equal. -Everyone hates incompetent/bad leaders whether they be an NCO or a officer, and both can be good or bad. Even a fresh out of ROTC Butterbar can be well liked by the platoon if they are humble, willing to learn, and interject when appropriate, and the saltiest of E7 can still be hated if he makes it his mission to just be an asshole to the lower enlisted while avoiding any accountability and generally being Toxic AF. -NCO's are very well experienced in team to company level leadership, touch upon broader tactical decision making at the senior enlisted level (E7-E8) and maybe lightly at strategic leadership if they make higher tier E9. (Upper limits for NCOs in a civilian context would be lower-middle management.) They aren't trained at all on policy making. Officers learn the basics of platoon and company leadership early in their careers, but become experts at battalion and above strategic level decision making once they spend time as a field grade. If they make 1-star and above, they touch upon geopolitical levels of decision making and are strategic level experts if 4 stars. (They would make up middle management and up to the C-suite in a civilian context) NCOs can run companies in a practical sense without officers sure, but they aren't trained at all for battalion and above management.

[@Koji23]

In my country, an officer is equally as "hands-on" as the enlisted. This way the enlisted men look up to an officer and feel proud to be led by someone like them. Also, the officers in my country go through much harder training than the enlisted. The enlisted are trained for 9 months to a year, Whereas the officers are trained for 4 years.

[@cstrutherskgs]

What country may I ask?

[@kurger100]

same in the US if you are goig to an officer academy. also our officers are very hands on as well

[@CadetPolovitz]

Officers in the US go to college(4 years), bootcamp(2.5 months), officer school(3 months) and tech school(4.25 months). They also sacrifice quality of life and income, since they could get much better in the civilian world. So they get about 5 years on training before they start to lead. Enlisted get 6 months of training.

After US Navy basic training and 'A' School I reported to USS Sellers, DDG 11 ,on a Friday afternoon as per my orders .

I spent the weekend getting hammered at the on base Enlisted Club and getting to know a couple of my berthing mates . I slept in the rack assigned to a Petty Officer E5 over the weekend . Come Monday morning he laughed at my hungover ass , dragged me to muster , and lead me to an unoccupied rack to stow the contents of my sea bag . My Leading Petty Officer ( E6 ) took me out carousing Charleston , South Carolina with the rest of my Division . My question is Why does the US Army feel the need to treat new soldiers like garbage ?

[@brandonmiller9155]

Exactly. Granted my first experience in the fleet was getting off at 10 am cause someone committed suicide so there’s that, but yeah, the navy is shit for its own reasons but I can’t fathom why they treat mfs like they’re still in boot. If someone told a sailor in the fleet to drop in any setting other than PT I’m pretty sure they’d just stare at them like they’re an idiot.

I would say it's *physically* harder on the enlisted sure, but at least at the E5 and below level, you don't have to worry much about drowning in administrative work, nor any of the office politics/mind games you see among the brass and even the senior enlisted. Also, as an officer, the platoon/company fucks ups are attributed to you officially. Doesn't matter that it's actually some dumb PFCs fault or a salty perma E6 who just doesn't give AF anymore and is just coasting to his 20yrs. The CO and even the BC will come down on butterbars hard for things that are legitimately not their fault. At least as a junior enlisted (and to a degree as an E5) your mistakes are your own and you only really have to worry about yourself and maybe a squad at most, but you will still never have *formal* command responsibility over those under you. The humble butterbar has an official commission, and an NCO does not. Honestly, maybe only Warrants can be considered easy mode, but they EARNED that easy mode through beating the secret end level and starting over again with a new game+ file XD
