Once upon a time I was a 31C (Radio Operator). I really enjoyed it, but I regret not learning more tactical radio stuff. I thought I would have the opportunity as a 25A Signal Officer, but the Signal Corps is much, MUCH more than radios. As such, I haven't touched a SINCGARS or HF radio since I was a Platoon Leader. I considered switching jobs, but with so many of my peers going functional area or branch transfer I figure if I stay the course I'll be the only 25A left and get promoted by default. Plus, I actually love having the opportunity to command.

Hi, PO1 Cook.
In the beginning, I was an Imagery Interpretation Specialist; I forget the AFSC. I provided services from the photo intelligence derived from air-breathing and satellite recon platforms. I wanted to be Security Police (3P0X1), bu my recruiter told me I was too smart to be an SP. Never heard that before.
I cross-trained into Security Police two years later. Imagery Intel was a good job, lots of opportunity, but there was just no honor or glory in sitting in a SCIF all day looking at target photos.

SSgt (Join to see) while I fully respect your decisions, I may have sat in a SCIF a time or two, and work done in there is just as important as work done elsewhere in order to complete a mission. ;)

SCPO (Join to see), you're right, it was. But I was 21. It was all about toting guns back then. That's my only excuse.

1N15X1 is the AFSC for imagery analyst, it is my AFSC and I love it I get plenty of job satisfaction from it but the job is not for everyone there are plenty of people who rather see the outside world. To each their own glad you found where you fit it.

SSgt (Join to see) - Hi, SSgt Taylor. I knew it started with a 1.
You're right. It was a very interesting AFSC. It just wasn't my cup of tea back then.

2531/2537 - Field Radio Operator/Communications Chief. Thought I would hate it. Ended up loving it. Being stuck in the middle of everything allowed me (and others) to anticipate our command structure's wishes. Overall, I was with a Landing Support Battalion and our command structure HAD TO anticipate needs on the battle field to get bullet, beans and band-aids forward and get casualties and POWs to the rear in an expedited manner.

My primary was 6616.......com/nav technician for the F-4 Phantoms, with a secondary on the A-6 Intruders......later on, added recruiter to the mix (that one I would have changed if I could have). I would obviously have to change it now.......as the Phantoms are dinosaurs and no longer in use. Not that they would want this dinosaur (me) back in play.......
