I’m actually at the hotel now waiting to go to meps tomorrow, then to BMT! I’m going into the SpaceForce for space systems operations!

[@SFNSfinesse]

Same!! 👍🏾 except I’m going to fusion analyst.

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

Richard what a small world! You will be heading to Vandenberg following BMT then. Let me know if you have any questions when you get here and good luck with BMT! Erik I was prior enlisted intel as operations analyst! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask, I have some fusion analyst buddies! Good luck with you also!

[@srgsilent99]

I just graduated BMT as part of the first full Space Force flight, and I am currently waiting to start tech school classes to start. 6/31 specialists from my flight are 1C6. Warning for future tech schoolers, Vandenburg AFB does not have a Chipotle or an In and Out, and you can’t go off base until you are in second phase, but the dorms are very nice.

Good luck!!!

[@leftofpunk]

I was a 1C6 just over 20 years ago! Neat that they've kept that code for enlisted. Our class makeup was pretty unique, we had 4 pipeline airmen, 2 NCOs, 2 butterbars and 2 captains in the same class. I doubt the same happens these days.

So did space systems operations in the past? When you get the chance, please tell me all about it. It's literally my dream now to get in and do that job. What was the process like, how was the job, and what degrees/certifications did the higher ups prefer when picking people for this job? Thank you for your time. 1/15/2024.

Thank you very much for sharing the priceless information! Very interesting curriculum! I am working on my planetary science degree and serving as a navy reservist! looking forward to joining the space force!

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

Sounds like a fun degree and I wish you luck! Let me know if you ever have any questions!

Wow! Lots of stuff to cover but considering what you’re doing, I guess we couldn’t expect any less. Great vid and thanks for sharing the info!

[@AdamKeele]

FYI: THE TECH SCHOOL HAS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED AS OF 1NOV22. All officers and enlisted are in class together--officers just go through an addition block. From people that had just gone through just prior to the OUST and EUST combing, and some that have experienced the latest UST, it's much more difficult and demanding that it us to be.

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

I heard about that. I’ll have to reach to the schoolhouse to get the updates. Thanks!

Is the Space Force actively seeking Space Operations Officers? This seems like a wonderful career to get into!

[@Mrbkid004]

I would love to hear about the Marines possible future and roll with Space Force if any. It is my understanding that all branches will have a chance to become part of the Space Force’s mission.

[@matthewrussell3935]

Super informative video! I'm a former Army guy looking to go 1C6 in the AF Reserves and hopefully commission as a 13S in the near future. Thank you again for all the info!

[@yingyang7448]

Hey, did you get in the space force? It's my dream to join the space force so I'm commenting on anyone that even remotely might have information about space force and especially my dream job in space operations. Thank you very much for your time. 1/16/2024.

[@abdurahman3896]

Amazing! Thanks so much for the info, can't wait to join after ROTC

[@quinnjohnson7084]

Hey, I've watched almost all of your videos and really appreciate the detailed and unsolicited information you put together regarding jobs and descriptions; it is very insightful! Could you do a video comparing and contrasting Space Force active duty vs reserves (if reserves are even an option yet in this early stage)? I was told by an Air/Space Force Recruiter that most people decide to go active duty and the few who go reserves are often older, technically specialized, part time contributors (ie professors). Thank you for helping pave the way and making space safe for everyone! Best Regards

[@quinnjohnson7084]

Also, I know most of the transfers to Space Force are from the Air Force but do you know if any other branches that have completed transfers to Space Force yet (Army, Navy, etc. Active/Resrve transfers)?

[@quinnjohnson7084]

Also, more relevant to this specific subject: How long does each phase of the training program take phases 1-5? How many undergraduate credits do phases 1-5 offer? Are OUST/EUST Space Ops graduates typically pipelined directly into on the job training roles from there or do any continue immediately into specific post-graduate level studies? Does the Space Force also offer post-graduate level studies on or off Vandenberg? or are higher level post grad classes typically offered through partnerships with external Universities?

Hey Space Nerd Confessions. I sincerely apologize for bombarding your comments section with me replying to nearly everyone, lol. I'm just really desperate in learning everything about my dream job. Ever since the space force video that Business Insider posted, my life became alive and my dream was to do what you do. Thank you for your understanding. 1/16/2024.

[@1anre]

Nice to learn of these. Are there ROTC routes for joining Space Force as an Officer or it’s still only for the AFROTC right now?

[@hanial-hayyawi4578]

Would the 13s afsc make you marketable in the civilian world? What jobs would you be able to get?

[@midcw6043]

Hello, is your job similar to an all source analyst? Presenting daily briefings?

[@armandonodal4897]

Hello! I just stumbled upon this amazing field and was wondering what schooling comes next after those 5 months? I read that you needed a technical bachelors degree to serve as an S13. Also, where did you stay during those 5 months in terms of housing? Is the training and schooling paid for?

[@elysiauchiha272]

Hello ! I would assume like tech school in the Air Force you are provided housing that’s paid for , which would be dorms and training is free . I don’t know for sure just going off the regular way of it being done in every other branch I would assume the same .

[@ritchievalentin1875]

For the 5 months you’re there can you bring your spouse/dependant?

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

Yes you can! It’s considered a PCS.

I just enlisted in the Space Force and I'm 1C631. Currently in tech school out at Vandenberg. Is it true that they polygraph you? I keep hearing yes from people then no from others. so I thought maybe you would have some insight on it. Any response is appreciated.

[@karinaballesteros1991]

I’m interested in the space operations officer position and have been working with an Air Force recruiter since I was told I can’t directly join the space force without having been in the Air Force first. My question is if they are transferring this position over would I still be able to apply for it in the Air Force? I’ve only submitted my pre application a week ago and haven’t heard back from the recruiter yet

[@yingyang7448]

Hey. Did you get the space operations officer position? If so, please tell me all about it. My dream is to join the space force and work with missile warning systems.

Do you know if and when they will hire social workers into Space Force. I am in the Army currently and will have my Masters in Social Work in a year. I would love to serve Guardians and be in the Space Forces Medical team.

[@yingyang7448]

Just out of pure curiosity, did things work out with social work in the military? 1/15/2024.

[@rayshoup5334]

@@yingyang7448 hey! Thank you for the check in, here’s the update. I got my masters in Social Work and I am currently a Medical Operations Officer in the National Guard. In order to be a Military Social Worker, I need to have my Clinical License, which I will attain in about a year. As for the Space Force, they do not hire Social Workers directly, but they do have an embedded program. This means that they will hire Social Workers from the Air Force and place them into Space Force units as their primary provider. So right now my plan is to finish up my Clinical supervision, get my clinical license, then switch to the Air Force and apply for the embedded program. It will take a lot of hard work, but in the end it will all pay off.

[@rayshoup5334]

@@yingyang7448so the military only hires Social Workers who are Clinically Licensed. So I have about a year of supervision left to attain that. Currently the Space Force does not hire social workers, but they do have Embedded Air Force Social Workers serve. This mean that an Air Force Social Worker is attached to a Space Force Unit. If the Space Force continues to grow, they will likely hire their own medical team.

So when i go to a recruiter, do i tell them i want to join spaceforce or is it juat based on my job?

[@scotty6597]

Bring it up, but be prepared to only be offered Air Force. You need to do well on the ASVAB, my flight's average score was in the 90's. Don't sign anything you don't want to do, but you can stay in DEP for a while. They may threaten to drop you from DEP, idk. I was in it for a few months. Unless they have USSF specific recruiters by now, which I'm pretty sure they don't. OTS, I don't think they guarantee a job, but that's SpaceNerd's domain. Good luck.
