@@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.

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.
Very glad you are doing these AFSC videos! The Air Force isn’t only about flying though. Get some CE members involved. I’m 3E351 (Structures) and would love to answer any questions anyone may have!
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! 🖤
I enjoy these videos a lot especially Bc I’m in DEP currently and it help me get an understanding of certain career fields I could potentially be placed in .
Thank you so much for this video! This was a career field I was very interested in while in the recruitment process. It definitely sounds challenging! This was a really interesting video.
I had a 95 asvab it was one of the jobs they recommended but we will see.. Not my first choice not sure if there would be any real life application after i left
@@jleslie1337 Space Systems Operations is good if you wanna work for NASA, SpaceX, etc. They want people with top security clearance, and they pay a lot.
I failed my depth perception at MEPS, anyone know if I can request to retake it? I played high school sports and know i have depth perception, that test is just ridiculous.
basic was stressful in 0 week as they want it to be to test the individuals, unfortunately due to covid we were in the dorms the majority of the time. overall a good experience and learning to work as a team was necessary. i got pad crew as a detail which meant i got to hang outside and look at the sunset everyday, which no one else got to do haha
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.
At the beginning, the interviewee’s voice was distorted. Halfway through Kyle’s voice was distorted & the interviewees was not. Then at the end they were both normal. 🤪
Just watched this as I’m am going into this job and I am very nervous for the test and all the studying any tips on how to improve on that. Also what’s the the test about like math and such or more like about the aircraft and stuff like that.
Jaden Dagostinis make sure you study. You’ll be an aviator so it’s going to be a lot of training on aviation but they have other lessons too. You’ll be fine
Jaden Dagostinis id just take it one step at a time and prepare for basic. Get an honor graduate ribbon and keep the work ethic high moving forward past bmt
My brother does as well, ease my brain a little? Im not sure exactly what drone, How’s mental health with it? I always worry about how his brain is feeling because he can’t talk about anything.
If anyone has any questions regarding this career field (pipeline, education, demand, bases etc), Ill answer them.
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%

So Thanos is in the Air Force
JabarikJay not 50% haha

How is it in all honesty
Just got selected as an RPA pilot. Great insight into what my enlisted counterparts will do next to me.
I’m goin to BMT Jan 12 2020 and goin in as an RPA sensor operator so this video provided a lot of insight, thanks a lot
congrats man, i ship out december 10th same AFSC
Ri0T Gaming congrats

You guys need to practice OPSEC by not putting out exact dates. Be safe.
you should find someone who works at Area 51. that'd be a hoot.
hahaha

Keep up the great work Kyle!
Now you need to get a 1N1X1 to interview

I want this job so bad
TONS of Air Guard Bases fly MQ-9's on top of Active Duty Bases.
Can you do Space Systems Operations and Cyber Transport Systems
Please do cyber transport
I assume Space Systems Operations is EXTREMELY hard to get an interview with them considering most if not all the stuff SSO's learn is top secret.
I had a 95 asvab it was one of the jobs they recommended but we will see.. Not my first choice not sure if there would be any real life application after i left

Just received this AFSC! Shipping July 20th
Awesome!! Happy for you!

You have to see a doctor and get the doc to say you can go.
Hurlbert AFB in Florida is also a base for RPA
Since when?
Ive learned so much about this dream job that I want.
Great video!!!! I wanted to do this when it first came out way back when.....
This is my #2 hopeful choice currently.
Can you do public affairs? Ex: Broadcast journalism or photography?
I really want to do this it does look hard but all I have to do is study like he said and just be dedicated
Thank you so so much for interviewing an intel job! Would be aMaZing if you interviewed a 1n4x1. Not much info about the job online.
It's the guy from the car insurance commercial.
i got this job in dep, ship to basic 08/11/2020

@@jeremy5488 in all honesty can you tell me about your experience with this job
Any plans for an RQ-4 centered version?
Yo! Was very interested in this job so this video was very informative and your "what was tech school like for you" voice was muffled haha
Can you talk about the asvab qual for this job. Cheers
Was scared of the opsec by the title at first, but good job.
Appreciate the informational videos! Is it possible to see an interview with an RPA Pilot? Thanks!
Or space systems? Really interested
What do u have e to get on your asvab to get this job?
hey kyle is there an air force job where i can become an instructor to train new recruits how to fight against the naruto runners?

Hey, Kyle. I know it’s a niche and small job but can you cover Pest Management?
@@AirmanVision Greatly appreciated!
So the training isn’t done after tech school? How long does the entire process take from basic to being stationed at a base
Roughly a year
Do you need depth perception for this career?
At the beginning, the interviewee’s voice was distorted. Halfway through Kyle’s voice was distorted & the interviewees was not. Then at the end they were both normal. 🤪
Kyle Gott can you do a video on 3E7X1 , fire protection 🔥

How is it so far in all honesty
Does the RPA sensor operator only work out of the US or can you go overseas
Sensors do deploy to do LRE, but most are stationed in the US.
Does anyone know if these guys get flight pay?
Yes, they do.
Can you do tactical aircraft maintenance
don't do it
or an air traffic controller
Cubsfan122112 he has a video on that job already

Why do they wear Nomex fire resistant flight suits?
Standard aircrew uniform. We fly a plane so we wear the uniform. We're just not in it.
