MQ-9 RPA Sensor Operator - 1U0X1 - Air Force Careers

[@theconsumer1106]

If anyone has any questions regarding this career field (pipeline, education, demand, bases etc), Ill answer them.

[@jdamqueen]

Whats the tech school graduation rate? I'm very interested but I don't want to end up trying for it if the graduation rate is like 10%

[@theconsumer1106]

@@jdamqueen Average class start is usually around 25 people. Usually by the end it could be anywhere from 1-7 people. I have seen prior service even fail the course. Don't be scared of it though. If you really want it you'll get it.

[@whimsyuav762]

what is the demand for this role? what bases do these aircraft operate out of?, I know minot operates global hawks. I would be interested in this career as I have an associates degree in RPA

[@theconsumer1106]

@@whimsyuav762 As for bases, this is what we got. The bases depend on which Airframe (MQ-9/RQ-4) you get (And what type of service you are in). Airframes are randomly selected, but typically you'll get what you ask for. MQ-9 Active Duty: Creech AFB, Cannon AFB, Ellsworth AFB, Shaw AFB, Whiteman AFB and Hurlburt AFB (Must have at least 2 years service to get this base) USAF Reserve: March AFRB, Creech AFB, Hurlburt AFB Air National Guard: Ellington Joint Reserve Base, Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, Berry Field Air National Guard Base, Springfield Air National Guard Base, Fargo Air National Guard Base, and Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station. RQ-4 Active Duty: Beale AFB, Grand Forks AFB.

[@jdamqueen]

@@theconsumer1106 Another quick question. You need to go through a Single Scope Background Investigation to qualify for this job right? How does that process work?

[@thatoneguy9473]

FINALLY! I've been waiting forever to find a good interview with a censor operator and as always you deliver on this channel. You da man, Kyle. 👍🏻

[@thecoolchipys]

Just got selected as an RPA pilot. Great insight into what my enlisted counterparts will do next to me.

[@Sigil_57]

Signing my contract as a 1U0X1 tomorrow, this video definitely answered a lot of questions no one has been able to answer

[@MadWolf1980xxx]

Nice! Did you have to wait long? Hows the demand right now?

[@MIGtheaveragegamer69420]

Bryce So ive talked to some RPA guys I know and they said it’s not difficult it’s just a lot, and just to study all the time. They also said that being able to multitask is a big part of it as well.

[@NBHRaven]

You guys need to practice OPSEC by not putting out exact dates. Be safe.

[@goddessofdragons1996]

Could you interview someone in the mental health fields? I’m curious as to what they started out as and how long it took them to be able to work hands on and help people. I’d also like to know about the pay just out of curiosity. I really want to help people and mental health is the most important thing for me. Btw I’m a long time viewer and you helped me get the courage to talk to a recruiter and then information to help me be prepared. So thank you for helping give me the courage and knowledge i needed to nudge me in the right direction! 🖤

[@MannyVegaNieves]

Awesome video and flawless interview. The visuals are vivid, and the information, first class.

Yeah because the pass rate is so low, and even if you enlist or retrain into this job the odds of passing the tech school are against you. Look forward to getting forcefully crosstrained into maintenance.

@@TheToradora97 The pass rates are actually fairly high. Classes of 25+ students enter and roughly 5 per class dont make it through. It's just super lenghty training. You gotta want it.
