hi /k/
im thinking about going into the (ch)air force, are there any combat roles that don't involve flying?
>>32191802
>peace time
>combat
Have fun.
If you wanna operate as enlisted, there's Combat Controller, Combat Weather, and, as always, Pararescue
What this guy >>32191889 said, plus Security Forces.
Don't listen to a single other word anyone has to say in this thread and abandon it. Go to a recruiter and get real info from someone who is trained for this.
The only things you'll find on /k/ are memes, urban legends, and lies by bitter anti-US cocksuckers.
That goes for any topic at all really.
>>32191889
Combat weather has always seemed really fucking cool to me for some reason.
>>32191802
Have fun turning into a faggot

>>32192379
Holy shit another AMMO troop who posts here. You in tech school lad?
>>32193052
No I made it to my first base. PGM is fun but doing nearly 70 guidance head swaps on CATM 9Xs is decidedly not.
>>32193041
Looks accurate to me.
>>32192685
>oper8in like a D-boy so you can radio back whether or not it's raining
>>32192978
>hurr durr he has 3 stripes so that must mean his grade is 3 too rite?
>This will totally fool everyone
>>32192379
Security Forces is not a "combat role".
Be very careful OP, if you join then fail out of your preferred combat AFSC, you will most likely be retrained into SF or Maintenance. Either way, you will most likely hate your life.
>>32193290
SecFo on deployment is as close as OP would get to "operating operationally" in the Air Force.
Since, you know, we all know he wouldn't hack Pararescue or TACP.
>>32193095
PGM was my first shop man. I loved it and the 9X is the easiest missile you'll work with. Cuz fuck 180's on the 9M's.
I'm out at Spangdahlem and I'm loving it here
>>32193321
I get what you're saying, but I want OP to understand what he's getting into.
>>32193290
seconding this. right now it seems like theyre throwing a lot of tacp and cct washouts into the fuels afsc.
>>32191802
>>32191889
Don't forget about EOD and MP (to some extent)
>>32193323
Tyndall here.
>>32194329
You know Kennedy huh?
>>32193323
My homeboy is SecFor at Spang.
>>32194329
If you do, ask him about the big guy he was bros with at Kunsan. That's me.
>>32195239
He's got it good here for sure man. I just hate his commander. Everytime I have to work with that guy he's a dildoo
>>32192978
Meanwhile, in the marines...
>>32195268
Fuck, Navy. I meant to type Navy.

that ones actually kinda hot. in a completely non-gay way of course

>>32192379
Nigger why are you here. Go study your CDC's
>>32193052
Make that three of us motherfucker
>>32196326
Where you at man? Cool to know other AMMO bros post here
>>32196401
Out here at Luke
>>32191889
Don't forget TACP as well. You'll spend your entire career attached to Army combat units.
>>32193290
Not necessarily true, there are many "specialized" units within the Security Forces that perform combat operations.
>>32196537
One Example:

>combat roles that don't involve flying?
Nope. They all involve flying of some sort even if it's just being aircrew in an AWACS. Also you are guaranteed to deploy after they issue you your plane.

DO NOT GO SECURITY FORCES
If you hate yourself then go ahead
>>32191802
The Air Force has been growing is combat unit numbers ever since they found out its the only military branch that will stand with the government if there is ever a civilian uprising. So be prepared to become an enemy of the people if you join them.
>>32197846
>Thinking these staged photographs are real
>>32197894
It's an implication to address that there's "equality" and "political correctness" in the US military.
Go to any other nation's military, and it's the most right wing, conservative state.
>>32195207

PLEASE TELL ME THESE AREN'T OFFICIAL PHOTOS WE CAN'T HAVE SUNK THAT FAR AREADY REEEEEEEEEEE
>>32191802
Do. Not. Fucking. Go. Security. Forces.
If you want to check ID's all day, and sit at a checkpoint, go ahead.
Dont be fooled. Just because we're not in WW3 doesn't mean there arent any combat deployments. The United States Military has not been "at peace" for over 20 years. We have almost constant and recently increased deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and West Africa.
>>32199728
Don't be fooled. Just because there are "combat" deployments doesn't mean you get your gun on when you get there. Unless you're SOF, you're not doing anything. And then even if you are, it's not like how it used to be.
It's gay. Trust me.
>>32199728
wtf /k/, your not sperging out about his choice in FG or stock. Maybe his choice of electrolyte replenishment could be more fashionable in [current year]
I am disappoint.
>>32196437
Good to know other posters are from Luke. Never been to ammo here though. I'm stuck working on fucking bobtails all day.
1a8x1 here. Don't choose this job.
>>32196437
Thomas?
Since this thread's up, what is it like being an Air Force fusion analyst?
>>32192978
Thinking I have a problem with that.
>>32199679
They're official alright.
Time to an hero
Air Force, the only branch with no sense of shame
At least the other branches try to hide their fatties as they are forced out.
Air Force parades their fatbodies as shining examples, shuffling along for years until retirement.
If you are fat, go for the Air Force
>>32200423
FUCK
>>32200495
Air Force actually has more fit members than all other branches
>>32200059
Lmao no. I've been here for a while now. And Thomas is a retarded fuckboy who leaves the gate to the MSA open after his gate guard shift.
>>32199823
Are you motor pool? If yes then fuck you for smashing our bobtail radios last year.
>>32200584
>Air Force actually has more fit members than all other branches
As someone stationed with all different branches....thats a no.
>>32200584
As an airman, I demand sources. Cause I don't believe your shit
>>32200495
>the babies are the marines, army, and navy, in order.
>>32200700
Someone smashed the radios in the bobtails?
First I've heard of this.
>>32200947
Yeah man. It was last year. The bobtails with radios were being driven too much so some fag started fucking them up when we turned them in for maintenance so that we would stop putting so many miles on those.
Then we filed a complaint and y'all fucked off real quick.
>>32196516
Real ass-kicker of a training regime.
>>32199679
>sunk that far
it's always been shit
>>32200700
>Thomas is a retarded fuckboy
That he is.
Has he made his retarded "If the frog is in your parking space" joke?
>>32202787
No I don't work in his shop and avoid him like the plague because I can't stand his dumbass face with his retarded aviators. But everyone I know that works with him can't stand his retarded ass.
>>32203345
Oh shit he still wear Aviators?
