Air Trans has a wider ranging number of responsibilities. Also allows for better deployments and TDYs in my opinion. Also, you don’t have to deal with that smell as much. However anytime you are on the flight line you will experience that. It also would allow for more civilian job opportunities in the future. There are many aspects of Air Transportation out there vs just refueling planes. Both would allow for job opportunities but air trans allows for more future options and higher paying jobs. Transferring to the air guard is an excellent idea, especially if you are concerned about family. If you go air trans, I recommend seeking as many training/certification options as they will allow you. Things such as load planning, hazmat certification, etc, these will open up many opportunities for you

SrA (Join to see) - Does the Air Transportation involve being assigned an aircraft frame that you would fly on? If so, I would rather do that instead of smelling like fuel all day.

Izy,
2T2s process cargo and load airplanes. I did it for 32 years in Charleston, Langley, and Pope AFB as a reservist. It depends what base you are at as far as what you will do as guard bases aren't hubs for moving lots of cargo. Feel free to text me to start a phone call with more info. My cell is [login to see]
