So I'm submitting a package to become a Military Training Leader... it's like the TI's in basic training only we are at the Tech schools and don't wear the "mount me" hats. We transition the Airmen from the basic training mentality into the "Real" Air Force while trying to help solidify the Air Force Core Values. Basically I'll serve as a mentor and adviser to thousands of airman as they go to Technical school to learn their trade. I'll do open ranks inspections (inspecting their person aka uniforms), room inspections, assign details, resolve issues with assignments or any personal issues that come up.
It's something I've had in the back of my mind for a long time but always had something else (mainly my ex) keeping me from doing it... but I looked and now is as good a time as any.
I think I'll excel at it and I know I'd enjoy it... it'll be long hours but I already work that in a career field I hate an have 0 sense of accomplishment on most days as there really isn't shit to do, and when you DO fix shit all people do is complain that it broke in the fist place... :rant:
anyways... there are jobs open all over... but I'm applying for a spot at Pope AFB in Fayetteville NC.
I'll be submitting my package by the end of the month... and should find out in a month... maybe sooner. I'm already anxious as hell and I haven't even started the paperwork! :lol:
as far as riding goes... I'll have less time to ride than in Colorado... because I'll be working 12-14's almost every day... but I'm think'n it's year round riding...or pretty close... :idk: so it may even out.... but I won't get to take leave as much... or at least not big lumps like I like to do.
anyways... I'm fuck'n excited... one of the few jobs in the AF that I think I'd really love to do.

You write well, so you shouldn't have any problem writing up your package. The hat you'll be wearing, is that a Smokey the Bear hat? Good luck.

Good luck ebbs.
I've thought of becoming an instructor at some schools.
Just one of those things that once you start, its really hard to ever go back to civilian jobs, cause trying to get close to the same pay is damn near impossible.

No, that's the hat he WON'T be wearing... aka the "mount me" hat. :lol: Drill instructors are the ones that wear those.

thanks... no I won't be wearing those hats... those are reserved for only the MTI's or Military Training Instructors who are at BMT (Basic Military Training)
Good luck ebbs.

yes and no... considering my career field is taken up on the civilian side by either high school summer hires or by old crusty volunteers... I'm not really giving up anything... the 2 jobs I would make good money in are IT and Medical Coding... but fuck Coding... no thanks... and IT... I can always fall back on that... but it's not something I'd enjoy as I don't get to interact with people much.
That's my main reason for doing this... I want a job I would enjoy... I'm tired of spending 8+hrs at a job I really cannot stand.
This will also give me great experience to become a 1st Sargent. which is my ultimate goal in my Military career... though who knows... I may just try to stay an MTL until I retire :idk:

yeah... but I can deal... I think MTI would be pushing my limits... but even then... I think I'd be fine... it's just I don't wanna give up my WHOLE life to my job like an MTI does.
Congrats Brandon.... You better come and see me and Cutty still. Or i will kung foo your ass!!!!!!!!! :lol:
