    Currently work in maintenance as Sheet-metal(2A753, Structures) with one more year left as a first term airman (used up all my extensions) and I've been eyeing getting out. I've already started getting my A&P to possibly work in the civilian/sheet metal contracting side but I've been noticing that the job selection in Sacramento - CA region is a bit slim in my area (as far as good pay goes). My goal was to get a big name defense contractor position with (Boeing, Lockheed, Northrup, etc) and make a career out of it but I may need to get another career started on the side just in case.
    I've already looked up the job and contracting officers appear to be in pretty big demand through GS/civilian side but I noticed that to get past GS-11 I need to have a bachelors degree. Using the AU ABC program I could get a project management degree in 2 years using the Montgomery G.I. Bill and go to school full time. In which afterwards I could apply for a lower position as I don't have experience in the job.
    Would you say this is a decent path to take or do you think that applying right away for the job would be better?
    Also, I would try cross-training but its not guaranteed and Id rather not re-enlist for another 4 years and get stuck in this job/ location.

    Nice video! I’m leaving March 15th for contracting and I cannot wait. Since you get some leeway on where your first base will be located, do you think you have a high chance to be stationed where you want?

    • @ashleynoelle
      @ashleynoelle  2 роки тому +1

      There’s a chance… lol We do get to fill out a “dream sheet” (cue “Juicy” by Biggie “It was all a dreeeeam! I used to read Word Up! magaziiiine”) - literally pops into my head every time I think about my dream sheet. There’s a good chance you’ll get something on there, but probably an equally good chance that you won’t, especially if all of your choices are for really popular locations (but that doesn’t mean you should ever put on your list somewhere you wouldn’t actually WANT to go - you shouldn’t). I wouldn’t say you ever have a “high” chance of getting an assignment you want. I’d say you have a “decent” chance… 🤞🏽
