You may be working the tower. Telling pilots where to land, what space to park in. Ground control.

Why would they put a comms soldier to do this? He has no training/experience in airfield operations.

SPC (Join to see) - My wife was a flight records clerk and did it. It ain't always about what you're trained for. My wife had nothing to do with radios at least he does.

SFC Michael D. flight operations specialists (or records clerks, if you will) are trained for that sort of thing. A 25U shouldn’t be doing the job of a 15P unless all hell has broken loose.

The most unit-focused work will surround COMSEC and partnering with the AMSOs to ensure there’s good communication for flight and maintenance teams. Also retrieval and custodianship of secure fills in partnership with the S2.
Of course, you’ll also manage the computers and mobile devices of the unit and be asked endlessly for help with printers and frayed cables.
“Can I install Tankwars on my laptop?!”
“No, Carl” (but in this case, Carl is a CW2)
Good luck in your next chapter!

Hmm, that's a good question. I would guess that you would be in charge the the communications of the unit radios, computers, and any other electronics they may have.

absolutely I just don't know how much to expect as far as them allowing hand on in relation to their aircraft comms.

Depends on if the unit's crew chiefs are up to date on their COMSEC handlers courses. If they are then you won't really have a lot to do. If they don't you'll be out at the airfield everytime they fly doing fills.

I was at Hunter AAF in Savannah GA in an Air Cav unit. There wasn't much difference between regular (support) units. The main difference was during field exercises you would be in charge of loading comsec on the aircraft and looking over the communications equipment in the aircraft and on the tents/building the TOC is setup at. Regular days were business as usual. Every unit is different so your experience may be different than mine was.
