Transferring over to the Air Guard from the Army Guard as a Maintenance Management analysis as TSGT. Can anyone provide insight on the job?

Ive been doing doing the job for 4 years now and have enjoyed it. You'll be overseeing and extracting data from a database which will vary depending on your airframe. We do plenty of talking directly with O's and present studies to groups. Its a highly visible position with the commanders and members of the maintenance group.

What was your MOS in the Army? Are you looking for more of what the day to day looks like? Are you going to be fulltime or a dsg?

Depending on the needs of the Wing, but you stand a good chance since we are in dire need of maintenance personnel.

Bryan, I call you that because you need to get used to being addressed by your first name verse your last. I converted the same way (not same job) in 2001. Crazy difference but very good. To Steve's point the interaction with the O's will be greater than in the ANG. You should really enjoy the change and I wish you the very best.

I was demoted from E-6 to E-5 because Army NCOES wasn't recognized by ANG. I have to complete Airman Leadership School (DL) first. I don't know if that is an issue for you.

I know this is old question but its all about statistics. That and some coding on the DBM side of the job. Power Point and Excel were used frequently in my time.
