I’m glad I found you guys. I’m prior enlisted AF and now I’m trying to help get my daughter navigate this process. So far she’s reached out to a recruiter and has started reading an AFOQT prep manual that I sent her. I’ve sent her some of your videos and encouraging her to listen.
Keeps sharing lads. Maybe bring on a special tactics officers or a SR officer next and their pathway on getting into the SOF realm of the Airforce and how it’s the best kept secret as being the best officer role amongst the other SOF officers positions across the other branches.
@@kenlandon6130 that’s what it says on paper. However, They have NCOs to do majority of the leading. The officers make the decisions hence they get paid to think.
@@kenlandon6130 Trust me that sounds awesome and it makes perfect sense. However, I’ve been in the Air Force for a bit and I can tell you from experience that it doesn’t go that way. The NCOs and SNCOs are doing the all of the leading and managing. The officers typically make the decisions based on the assessments of management I.e NCOs and SNCOs.
@@kenlandon6130 As you probably know a lot of USAF officers, the 96% do all sorts of jobs, mostly in a management capacity but you have doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, nurses, it is literally endless. While my comment on golfing was meant to be sarcastic; as a pilot, I did spend a fair amount of time on the golf course. Take my word, for anyone contemplating becoming a USAF officer, my advice, medical and intelligence would be some of the best career fields. Flying is not all it is cracked up to be - trust me. C-141B - C-17, not the glamours fighter type and have a lot more hours logged than most fighter types, plus we have a galley and airline style lavatory instead of a piddle pack that the ejection crowd uses
There are some real leadership intensive fields in the AF. Security Police (Security Forces) is one of them. One must leader all of the sub-career fields, be a leader on the base and in the community that they live in. They must insure troops are trained and ready. Certainly, most is done through the NCOs. Good NCOs are worth their weight in gold. Bad ones are a blood sucking leeches who destroy a unit's readiness. Mutiny and insurrection are both illegal. A good leader can be killed or taken out by just one bad NCO. Too bad troops don/t always see this. What is really bad is sometimes the IG and other DODIG agencies don't always see this. Careers are destroyed and can not be restored.
Smart newly commissioned officers find a knowledgeable NCO to discuss information before sticking their neck out and getting into trouble for impulsive actions that may reflect badly on their authority.
Between two Ferns USAF edition.

have you checked out OnesReady? they've got plenty of content about Air Force special operations.
They get paid to think
paid to lead
@@kenlandon6130 NCOs get paid to lead as well.
@@tremaineification true but officers lead in a more big picture way and they are leading more people as well. more moving parts to keep track of

That music is completely unnecessary
Thank You for sharing this information infront of us
They are airforce project managers
They spend a lot of time asking Sergeants how some things are done.
Spend a lot of time out on the golf course.
@@kenlandon6130 USAF 1980-2005, thank you very much.
@@kennixox262 my bad

Pretty sure I'm gonna fail college. Might as well do research on all the branches. Thank you

They figure out who is going to be stuck with the Combined Federal Campaign this year.
That’s deep
I thought most were pilots!
Much respect!!!
4% of airforce are pilots but 100% of marines are riflemen
100% of the Air Force can think and plan; >25% of the marines know crayons are inedible.
@@pandaslayerxx102 I believe you meant
They sit around and look pretty because they can't do shit without NCO's around.
Here’s the cookie you wanted because you’re so big and bad lmaoooo
Mad?
