WO1 Private RallyPoint Member 1238969 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have a pretty decent understanding of the job that an A.L.S.E. (Aviation life support equipment) guy does but how is the school itself? I know it&#39;s at Ft. Rucker, Alabama but I was wondering if I could get anymore info on it now from people who&#39;ve gone or taught it. Examples such as what are the hours like, is there weekends off, do I need a car there? Anything would help. How is A.L.S.E. School (Aviation Life Support Equipment)? 2016-01-15T22:56:32-05:00 WO1 Private RallyPoint Member 1238969 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have a pretty decent understanding of the job that an A.L.S.E.

If anything, I would get with S-3 and see about getting a rental while you're down there. It'll be a great course for you to attend, I've never been. The guys in my unit that have been really enjoy it now, and it looks good if you decide to get out and need a job. Have fun there!!

The hours a pretty legit. It&#39;s not a hard course at all, complete gentlemens course. You&#39;ll be treated like a grown up. A lot of useful information but there&#39;s a lot you won&#39;t get taught also that you&#39;ll pick up while running a shop. Also you&#39;ll qualify for the expert field seamstress badge which is a pretty tough one to get haha Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 6 at 2016 9:06 PM 2016-12-06T21:06:07-05:00 2016-12-06T21:06:07-05:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 7105338 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>dose anyone have any information on this?
