There is no perfect job. There will always be challenges along the way.

[@noahlamouruex8775]

Im leaving the army to go to airforce begining of 2025. Everyyhing ive heard still sounds better than army 😂

[@genesis.kts_]

lmaooo come on over!

[@blake_229]

Thanks for the transparency. Really considering the air force after I complete my BSN. I look at the security of the 20 year pension.

[@genesis.kts_]

I feel like there are some things i missed, but for the most part touched upon. Hope some of it helps.

[@michaelpmiddleton]

Thank you for this video! Just found your channel while diving into my research journey to apply for joining reserves as an officer. There's a ton of material out there that gives the "it's the best, you should join" vibe, but seeing a genuine reflection from someone that's recently gone through it is SO invaluable. Thank you for your service and the great content. Keep aiming high!

[@genesis.kts_]

I hope to help some what. I know people who hate their service, but i'm having a blast lol. So to each their own for sure. Especially if you want to grow with the service.

[@stephenpalfy8226]

There is a lot of luck involved in an AF carrier. Who you work with, where you are stationed, what’s happening in world, etc.

[@briangulley6027]

True but it changes often, have a bad boss wait 6 months, have a good boss wait 6 months.

[@zpgaming1919]

I agree love your job

[@d3r3kyasmar]

Until now i am still brainstorming of joining the Airforce. Thank you very much. I think this is enlightening because to be honest i am happy and thankful where I am now. So i think i have to let go of the idea of joining the Airforce.

[@joslynrose7135]

Did you ever join?

[@d3r3kyasmar]

@@joslynrose7135 no. It’s not worth it. I dont have to elaborate here but i am happy and thankful to be a civilian nurse.

[@joslynrose7135]

@@d3r3kyasmar This is the first I’ve heard of a negative experience with the Air Force. Do you mind taking with me a bit? I am not considering nursing, but I’m curious about others experiences. Have you heard of other bad experiences?

[@d3r3kyasmar]

@@joslynrose7135 you cannot say something bad in the military thats why you only hear good things. Its an honor to be serving the military. I am forever grateful to all our servicemen.

[@micohmanalo9703]

Love your videos sir

[@genesis.kts_]

I appreciate you!

[@roythousand13]

As an Army veteran, I would tell anyone who is interested in joining the military, I would tell them to join the Air Force or the Coast Guard. These branches prioritize their service members' education and quality of life. I'm just saying!

[@genesis.kts_]

Yep. My dad was navy and saw how bad his family/life balance was and he even told me I would rather you go Air Force even though I'm navy. I can vouch for that for sure. Even our deployment cycles will no longer be 9 months, with the new afforgen phases the air force has limited it to 6.

[@Egoliftdaily]

Mastery by Robert Greene - I believe that's what you mean. Saw your vids on travel nursing many years ago on a different account. Funny I found you on this account when I searched about "army nurse". I just subscribed today.

[@genesis.kts_]

Yes that book! amazing book for self progression and accepting what you are doing. hope you are well! you decided on army? hehe

[@Egoliftdaily]

@@genesis.kts_ thanks, boss. Hope you're doing great as well. Been a psych nurse for 8 years in the Philippines and resigned in January 2023. I was curious and searching at the time of my post. Thanks for the video... I think I'll stick with Mental Health Nursing. It doesn't sound like I'm a good fit for the army.haha

[@laurencebrooks7699]

The USAF was a great 38 year career for me; I miss some aspects (retired 2021); however, overall it is something I am proud of, yet glad I have moved on. All jobs have negatives, but overall my USAF career was positive...I made the best of every assignment and when I had a bad commander, I knew they would move on in 2-3 years, so I learned how to endure....only had a couple of bad commanders, but several bad supervisors. The good leaders far outweighed the bad.

[@Ryan-kj3xx]

Is now a bad time to join the Air Force? Like if I want to be a pilot?

[@laurencebrooks7699]

@@Ryan-kj3xx No, we need pilots...this is a great time to join.

[@jerrod9009]

Idk if you’ll see this but I just turned 18 do you think it’s better to just join up and start from the bottom or go to school first and join as an officer? Both are valid options for me just not sure

[@laurencebrooks7699]

@@jerrod9009 It depends on your goals and whats going on right now in your life. I opted to join at 18 to get away and be on my own....never regretted that decision. I earned my degree in 10 years during a time distance learning was not an option, and by the time I was eligible to apply for officer training school, I opted not to do that. I went on to complete my Masters Degree before retiring as a Master Sergeant, then joined the civil service as a GS11...not everyone can come in at that grade, but my military background and Masters Degree made this possible. Look at your options, and if you go enlisted, join up for 6 years to come in as an E3.....its worth it.

[@adamsjay212]

I am prior service served in the navy for four years transferring to the airforce the navy took a lot of time from me to the point they wouldn’t allow me to go to school.

[@genesis.kts_]

come on over, we need more good people. a lot of the air force enlisted seem more content than that of our counter part services.

[@emullen93]

Wish my wife would have been on board to go active duty. I enjoy the reserves and love my civ flight job but I think I would enjoy active duty more than both.

[@genesis.kts_]

the good thing is you have that balance of being there on weekends versus all the time. i do agree, i actually enjoy active duty only because you are surrounded with the air force all the time.

[@angelica351a]

Epic is best can just imagine what their Genesis system is like, VA system scares me.

[@genesis.kts_]

absolutely. but the thing is they're migrating to cerner as a centralized information systems.

[@theeternalnightmare2630]

I’m 23 am i to late to the game? I’m supposed to have a logistics job, I’ve hit my head a few times outside in the civilian world. Wasted 20k but no kids and kinda reached the point where i want more for myself and to maximize my time i have of now for my future self. Unfortunately I didn’t score for the job I anticipated to have but I’m willing to take what i can get and hopefully do school while I’m in. I know the military isn’t as glamorous as it seems and dedicating 4 years seems a little daunting for i look back in retrospect and wish i did this earlier out of high school or before I arrived at this defining age of 23. Just being forthright and transparent yet seeking some advice. At certain ages people don’t have all the understanding, awareness or insight they tend to eventually eventually acquire as they grow older.

[@genesis.kts_]

Hello, i apologize for having to reply late. been busy. i appreciate your comment. I don't think it's too late to join honestly. I'm 36 and i know a ton of other people who are joining at a later life. >30. I would definitely look into logistics jobs and contact a recruiter to let them know your desires and what you do. There is no harm in keeping your options open for sure. My advise is to seek counsel with a recruiter. the sooner the better.

[@TravisHood-sv8mz]

Appreciate this video! What is a work week for you- is it 5/6/7 days, or a certain number of hours?

[@genesis.kts_]

depending on your job you will be doing 40 hours a week. usually if admin no weekends. but if youre medical they rotate weekends.

[@TravisHood-sv8mz]

@@genesis.kts_ thank you, I've been looking into chaplaincy!

Do you have time to workout everyday? That keeps my sanity! 😊

Having worked at Cerner for the past seven years, I hear you. We heard the same challenges from all our clients. Not working there anymore but planning to join the Air Force.

[@genesis.kts_]

hope they put you in a position to help make change! lol especially with how bad cerner is. lol long story short, better than meditech lmao

[@tanvigawde1612]

@genesis.kts_ lol.. I know right😆 I called the recruiter and he said that AF doesn’t allow prior service for longer that a year ago from discharge. I was in the army 9 years ago, so, it’s a longer gap, unfortunately. But, he told me to call him again in October to see if the rules have changed.

[@CaptainFatfuk]

I’m 26 years old and contemplating joining the airforce. I am religious too so idk if I can keep my beard and observe my faith as well and being in the airforce. I would love to do active duty but realistically airforce reserve or airforce national guard to do part time but then again still researching.

[@genesis.kts_]

you can observe your religiion. just will need a waiver. the air force is good about protecting peoples rights.

[@CaptainFatfuk]

@@genesis.kts_ thanks for the response brother this is reassuring

[@crawdaddy019]

Don’t get me started on Genesis

[@genesis.kts_]

then you know exactly what im talking about lol.

[@jerrod9009]

Do you think it’s better to join as an officer or just go straight in I just turned 18

[@genesis.kts_]

if you have the option to go to school first, go to school and come in. If you need money for school enlisted for 4 years to get your GI bill and go back to school and get your commission or you can come in as enlisted and get your tuition assistance while working and getting your degree.

[@babyjokker815]

what jobs in the air force go abroad the most?

[@genesis.kts_]

flight and admin jobs.
