BECOMING A BROADCAST JOURNALIST IN THE AIR FORCE

[@keithe.lindsey2849]

Thank you the details for the preparation of this field! You sound very professional. Cheers on your future success in this field.

[@serenabeer8339]

Its pretty wild that I love watching both yours and Elora Jean's KZbin videos the most when it comes down to discussing the AF, and you are both in the same career field! lol

[@MikaylaRoseDaly]

Thank you so much! 😌

[@Brirend]

If you don't care when you leave, they can guarantee you the exact job you want (as long as you meet the prerequisites). You might have to wait around for a while waiting for the specific job to come up. I waited for three months for a job reservation in the AFSC I wanted.

[@dmgedits1086]

What did you get ?

[@mizzphitzbeta]

I graduated college last year with a BA in communication/journalism. I was thinking of joining the AF, but I’m kinda scared besides I don’t know how to tell my parents. They would have a heartattack😭

[@Cjbrown2x]

Im in the same position thinking of way to tell my parents but I'm gathering information before I let them know about joining

[@Starscreamxx]

My advice for you is do what you feel you want to do. I know that having your parent's support is something you want but, at the end of the day you do what you feel is right for your life. Regardless if your family does or does not like it. I know this sounds brutal but just keeping it 100% on the real. Best of luck :).

[@esaflaka9155]

@@Starscreamxx exactly, that’s what I’ve come to understand and gave

[@donald8354]

If you are 18 you can join and don’t need parents signature. Best wishes.

[@KenyelSR]

I’m currently at DINFOS right now! I graduate in July. I’m loving every minute of it, I can’t wait to make a video about it when I finish. Loved your video!!

[@studiomtn]

I want to be a Photo/broadcast journalist in the AF but my recruiter keeps saying those are super hard to get... Told me to be tactical aircraft maintenance and then cross train into PA when the opportunity comes... I have been doing video production for 11 years in my civilian life so its just what I want to do however I am tired of the civilian life. I am 37 and currently studying for my asvab to boost up my G score to enlist. I really hope my recruiter will work with me since he is pretty much the third recruiter I went to. Unless you know a recruiter that will in the Los Angeles/Socal area.

[@abcdef-kx2qt]

watch your self these people are time thief's & will take parts of your life !!

[@esaflaka9155]

Don’t let them choose your job for you like that. Your preference are your preference.

[@danielh6015]

if it's not on paper, it doesnt mean anything

[@richmiller4306]

You can always tell when your recruiter is lying, his mouth is moving.

[@oraeku]

Im going for this job either in the airforce or the army which ever one has it open 🙏🏼🙏🏼 hopefully airforce lol

[@CapturedByKen]

I’m a wildlife and event photographer for my city but this is incredibly interesting!

[@jasminetoney2459]

You should do a Day In the Life or explain more about what the Public Affairs people do because I am interested in trying to score for this job..

[@lisayorkk]

Definitely putting this on my job list! Congratulations on 1k!😊👏 Video idea: Tips on how to pass your ASVAB?

[@NA-xp2cr]

I really think that there aren’t any tips that can help you other than practicing paper math. Everything else you can’t study for. Scratch that, study for electrical and shop information. Those aren’t something that comes naturally.

[@esaflaka9155]

Theirs books online

[@madelynkeech2573]

i’m about to graduate from dinfos in a month! cant wait to get out, it’s now 6 months long and i’ve been here way too long

[@Nmz678]

I might get this job, Is it hard? I was taking that 100 question english test and just passed it. I just am not super good with some of that.

[@madelynkeech2573]

@@Nmz678 I wouldn't say it's hard personally. It's more annoying if anything because the class is relatively new. I just got to my first duty station in Germany and I'm definitely thankful for everything I went through to get to this point. There are days that are hard but you get through it

[@Nmz678]

@@madelynkeech2573 I ended up getting PA and I leave in late July! Only bad thing is I’ll be turning 18 away from home.

Thanks for sharing the link to your portfolio! There are some great photos in there! Looks like a really fun job =)

[@MikaylaRoseDaly]

Thank you and it is! 😊

[@ThePaganSun]

I'm a Broadcast Journalist too!! I don't have a Tech School date yet but I'm leaving for BMT in a few days!! I'd appreciate any advice you can give. 😊

[@MikaylaRoseDaly]

My #1 advice would be to make as many connections as you can because networking is key for the job.

[@joeymichael3437]

Thanks for this information It was helpful I want to learn everything there’s about the air force I will enlist this year thx u💯

[@Hattrick237]

Sooo, is this mostly a desk job? Or do you get to travel about sometimes? A video on a day in the life would be cool. Also, does Public Affairs offer different shifts / weekend duty / night shifts?

[@MikaylaRoseDaly]

It's mainly a desk job but depending what base you get stationed at you will be going out during the work day and recording footage, interviewing and or taking photos. It's Monday through Friday no night or weekend shifts. I work 9-4. Before COVID, we have the opportunity to travel often.

[@cuautligonzalez4565]

Oh man this sounds like something I would love to do!

[@yungperry5480]

[@JuanGottiTalkinsports]

I really want this job and want to become a broadcast journalist I actually have a KZbin we’re I do that so I really hope I can get this job any extra tips you can give me to somewhat secure this job or my best chance at getting this job ?? That would be awesome because my recruiter isn’t the best at trying to get me this job

[@MikaylaRoseDaly]

Score high on your ASVAB and just voice to your recruiter how much you want it.

[@franciscomacedo4346]

I wanted to go into usaf as a photo journalist, but it supposedly merged with broadcasting journalist. However, now it sounds like broadcasting journalist and public affairs are either very similar jobs, or they merged as well. I'd appreciate it if someone with knowledge about this can bring some clarity.

[@zeleneelwart8842]

I can’t wait, 3 1/2 years till I’m old enough to take ASVAB and start the process

[@samsl3497]

Awesome channel

[@justingonzalez4119]

How long is tech school for public affairs ? Is it longer than it was when they were separate?

[@MikaylaRoseDaly]

Our tech school is about 5 1/2 months lone and I believe it's a couple weeks longer but nothing drastic.

[@niathompson8881]

I’m currently Army National Guard and I know they won’t consider me (prior service) until October 1, but I REALLY REALLY want this job. I’m PRAYING. Do you know anyone who have done this? Wish me luck!

[@By.AnwarAlkz]

I have a few questions that I want to be clarified do you think you could answer them?

[@rauljusino8053]

What laptop did u use for tech school. Did they provide with the editing and recording software u needed to complete your assignments and projects or did u need to have it pre installed on your laptop

[@Hattrick237]

Hello, i'm very interested in Broadcast Journalism and was wondering if Color Vision is required? (I have slight Color Blindness. Is this waiver-able?). Also, if a Car/Vehicle is required for the Job? And if so, how much of your time is spent driving? Also,(Sorry if i'm asking too many questions) Do you have a video/blog/website on the daily life in this career? Thanks for all these videos by the way, any information is much appreciated.

[@MikaylaRoseDaly]

Hi! I would talk to a recruiter because since those thing didn't affect me I don't know the answers, sorry.

[@tonysmith5504]

We the people might actually be told the truth for a change

[@dieonjeff4639]

How often do you deploy? I was reclassed to this job.

[@David-vl9tm]

I graduated with a BS in Multimedia, currently im a 3F051 (Personnel) what would be the process for people trying to cross train into it? My cross training window opens up next year.

[@NA-xp2cr]

Can you talk to anyone above you about it? NCOs or something?

[@AdornedbyGod]

What if you want to attend a college for a Mass Communications degree in the states & not the one they send you to?

[@budgetwalexa]

I would say go for National Guard if you want to stay at the college you want to remain at! BUT they offer classes through the Air Force online if you want to do active duty. I’m honestly considering national guard since I’m a sophomore in college & if I really enjoy my time in military, I will switch to active duty! :)

[@RudyRender]

Mikayla, my gf is currently is about to start tech school this March for this course. Because of COVID, is there any freedom in regards for a bf (myself) to see her or are they preventing any visits at this moment?

[@NA-xp2cr]

Normally the Air Force doesn’t care unless you are married.
