Help picking Air Force MOS?
Sean F asked:
I’ve attempted to do some research on these careers however the wording is very technical and difficult to effectively decipher. So, the main three i’m looking at are Satellite Telemetry, Network Infrastructure and Network Integration. Though i’m curiously looking through the avionics stuff.

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. Do any of you have experience with these? Which has the best real world aapplication as i’m joining the air guard and not active duty?? And so on… Thanks!
At this point I haven’t been able to narrow them down very well despite my research. The descriptions on these jobs are very vague, and I still have very little idea what I would be doing.
The reason for posting all that were available to me is for the hope that somebody has some experience with one, or two, or however many of these and can perhaps shed some light on their job duties and any other useful info.

Security Forces. Definitely
You cannot list 30 jobs and expect info on them.
You need to cut your list down to 3 or 4 jobs, then ask for spoecific info.
I’m Aircraft Armament Systems… I’m responsible for the weapons/ nuclear exposives for jet fighters. I hav a brother who’s Aerospace Propulsion; basically a mech for jet engines. He likes his job, specially because he got stationed to the best places so far; Nellis @ Las Vegas, and Misawa, Japan. I say pick a AFSC that interests you the most/ what you can use for the civilian sector. Hint- try to stay away from the jobs everyone wants… because you’ll be waiting for a hell of a long time to get it, or not get it at all.
