U.S. Air Force: Tactical Aircraft Maintenance Specialists

[@cordellsmith3794]

I've seen a few comments here about not becoming a maintainer/crewchief, all i can say is follow what will make you happy and benefit you once you leave the service. I was a crew chief and I loved it. Yes there were days you worked long and hard hours and some days you got screwed but it comes with the job. As a crew chief on heavies (C-141B, MC-130-H and KC-135's) I've been all over the world as a flying crewchief, just you, your assistant crew chief and your airplane god knows where and that was the beauty of it. Just two people to fix anything that goes wrong with the aircraft. Now retired I work for a contractor that build aircraft for the military.

My daughter is heading off to boot camp with this job. Any tips or suggestions for enlistment and post EAS?

[@connormartin2214]

Hey man I'm currently contemplating enlisting in the USN or USAF with the hopes of working on aircraft. I'm not afraid of hard work or long hours. But I do want a family one day and I want to be able to care for them well. When you left the military, did your experience level qualify you to get good trade work out the gate, or did you need more certifications?

[@saldol9862]

been working MX and only ever left home station once. Depends on unit and airframe. I rolled a bad dice.

[@curtjurgens5538]

Been a Crew Chief on C-130s since 1997. 10 years AD and the rest Guard. It's all how you look at things. I've grown up into adulthood as a Crew Chief. It gets into your blood. I'll retire soon with more stories and memories than all my neighbors... some stories I'll never tell!

Any personal advice in this field?

Inform people that enter the Air Force there is Civil eng on the bases The personnel have to live on base and someone must maintain these areas such as Electricans plumbers maintained on living quarters Ever job is important in the Air Force

[@brooklyneason3531]

This seems like a cool job to have

[@Tanner_Teves]

Looks cool but lemme tell you maintainers are some of the worst jobs you can have in the AF, right next to Air Traffic Controller and Security Forces.

@@TripleA3000 stress and long hours of work, keep in mind your pay is based on rank.

[@messageinthebottle1673]

@@TripleA3000 I've reading and doing research about jobs in the airforce and it seems like the "experience" vary from person to person. To give an example i read alot of mix feeling about security force, since that's a job that transfers to the civilian world 🌎 as police officer the experience that people had is mix some like it other hates it. So I will say it vary from the individual. I strongly suggest before picking a job or joining get to "know" yourself before going in and essentially get stuck with the job.

[@Tanner_Teves]

For those watching this and aren't in yet: do not be a maintainer. They work terrible hours, get treated like trash, are mission essential so if you're on a base with snow you won't get any snow days, they don't get family days off, etc. I'm sure it sounds like I'm complaining about little things but I've known so many maintenance people who have cross trained just to get out of the field.

@@dicksonisrael5195 You can sign a contract prior to enlisting saying you're going to get a specific job. I went in open electrical and when I went to basic when it was time to put our jobs down on the top 10 list I only put CST down and nothing else and I got it.
