272X0 later it became 1C1X1 Air Traffic Control Specialist. Best job ever. Retired 3 years ago as a civilian and still miss it most days. I was a blessed/lucky man.

15P Aviation Operations Specialist. I love Aviation and I would love to do this job in the civilian world someday. The part I hate is when instead of doing Flight Operations, I m doing admin work. I guess there will always be pros and cons to any job....but hey its the Army...suck it up buttercup lol.

55Bravo.... Ammunition Specialist. I loved it. Got to learn about all the different type of ammunition and weapons that our troops use use on a daily basis as well as ones that aren't used on a daily basis but are still being used.
During Advanced Individual Training we got to blow up stuff, hook things onto a helicopter, and drive different trucks, forklifts etc so we knew how to load and unload. Getting to my duty station was completely different, nco that was in charge of making sure incoming personnel got trained on all the equipment didn't like me, so I never got my military driver's license. Oh well! I still knew how to operate all of the equipment, plus I had all of my papers from school so he ended up coming to me asking me if I had papers from a certain class, if I did, he would let me out of Thursday training. So it worked out in my favor.

When I first joined I was a corrosion control specialist. We basically were painters on aircraft and support equipment. We also inspected for and removed corrosion. Then Rivet Workforce happened and we combined with sheetmetal. That made us like Aircraft and support equipment body shop guys, and gals. I loved it. The hours sucked. Us and AGE were usually the last to leave the flightline. I can't say how many times my AFSC changed while I was in. When I left 15 years ago it was 2A773. I think I started as a 48331 or something like that.

I'm a 35F30 Intelligence Analyst. I know, I am sometimes referred to as a powerpoint ranger. In pure honesty though I love my job. Because we have the ability to gather all the intel from all the other intel single source providers and possibly, by connecting the dots, come to an assessment that could alter the entire conflict. And the best part is when you come up with some stuff that actually saves lives. I'm not out there with my M4...but I'm using my other features to win the war, save lives, give my commanders the knowledge to make the right decisions for the troops on the ground, the troops in the air...and best of all, the right decision to bring our soldiers home in one piece.

2T0 (Traffic Management Specialist). I hated it when I first started. I still hate it, but it pays well on the outside. I would have changed if a 7S0 (OSI) opportunity came up.

13E, 13C and 13D Field Artillery Fire Direction Control. Had wanted to be a medic but they said they needed me in the FDC. Told me I would work indoors and my boots would never get muddy.....Haaaaah what a bunch of bolgney that was! I still liked it though. We had three battery's of 155mm and one Self Propelled 8" Battery. Everyone knew when we shot a TOT mission or at the end of training when we expended all ammo.
