Moving to a different base every two to three years was a good growing experience. I also enjoyed the technical job training and learning a skill set I wouldn't have had I not enlisted. Living overseas in Japan was an interesting experience as well.

My current unit is overbearing and overzealous in their rule enforcement. It is time to move on to bigger and better opportunities.

At my current Air Force unit I would suggest try positive reinforcement instead of so much negative reinforcement. And morale boosting events would be good as well. Change the 6 on 3 off schedule to something less time consuming.

It is an Air Force job. You do not interview for any open positions. So this is not applicable. I would say it is best to remember that being assigned to this squadron is a temporary situation in your Air Force career and to stick it out. You would be reassigned or discharged eventually. I do not know if there anything that can be done for the squadron short of management changing their way of doing business. And that will probably only happen when the squadron commander changes or is replaced.

I love this country and its given me and my family a great opportunity that's why I joined the US Air Force to serve and protect my home. US Air Force is a great opportunity but I have bigger plans for my professional and educational advancement and being with the AIr Force considering all the deployments and Temporary Duties it will take me quiet a long time so I decided to move on and pursue my personal goals first then go back and continue my service.

I'm not sure what to say because I have a great experience with the Air Force. But, I guess the only thing I observed is that, most of the time, there's not much room for the grey area of life. It's more about black and white if you you know what I'm trying to relate. I guess I can explain it more later if you wish to follow up on it.

The only thing I have is this, take care of your people and they will take care of you. LIsten to them and do your best to make fair and just decisions. Remember that great leaders are great followers.

N/A

Career development, working with intelligent people who have a high level of integrity and close community.

Hard on family life.

Be honest and take care of your people and they will take care of you. There are exceptions, but as a rule I find this to be true. Help your workforce develop, provide the tools they need and be sincere. Be demanding but make sure you reward your workforce for their hard work. Get to know your people. Only by doing this can you determine what they are good at and utilize their talents, and only through getting to know them will you be able to determine how to reward them, what one person sees as a reward another may not.

Be honest about what you hope to gain from joining the Air Force. It's an opportunity for you as an individual to grow, as well as an opportunity for you to give something back.

I am part of something bigger than myself. I get to meet and interact with new people daily and create long lasting friendships. I have the oppertunity to learn new things regardless of experience.

It is difficult to maintain a family!! Promotion is based on seniority and general Air Force knowledge. Supervisors do not have to be profficient in their career, they just have to test well on subjects not related to their job.

N/A

Make sure you have an extensive knowledge in recruiting as well as posess the ability to speak well with applicants and a great knowledge of sales techniques. Recruiting is difficult if you are always searching for the right thing to say. It should come naturally. You should love to interact with people on all levels. A great personallity is always desired.

The structure, the ability to be reward for your work and defending my county.

My job...When the AF made our job stationary the ability to PSC became almost impossible. It became very hard to retain into other computer based career fields,

I am a hard worker, focused and a quick learner. I chose project management because of the process of seeing something start from an idea and growing into a masterpiece that can help better assist our country.

If project management is what you do for a living, make sure that you are providing a service for our soldiers defending our nations the right to live.

Travel opportunities, some of the classified equipment I worked with.

Salary way too low for amount of actual hours worked. Command structure lacks competent individuals. Too many "retired-on-active-duty" personnel.

Promote individuals by their leadership qualities and knowledge of their specific career fields and military bearing, not promoting because someone has an excessive "time in grade", which usually means they failed for promotion every year that they tested.

If you plan on making the military your carrier, take the additional time and finish college so that you will enter the military as a Commissioned Officer rather than a Non-Commissioned Officer, which do ALL the grunt work. Believe it!

I enjoyed working with colleagues from different backgrounds and experiences. The Air Force really helped me establish a work ethic and establishing deadlines.

As a graphic designer, you don't get the commericial printing experience vs. the private sector.

The Graphic Design career field should have been merged with Photography. Photography including choosing the right photo for a display is part of the design process.

The prospective employee should show a range of artwork from logos to web design in their portfolio.

The great educational opportunities both on and off the job.

There are a lot of rules, ceremonies, and restictions that go with the honor of wearing the uniform.

Trust the younger memebers more. Give them more responsibility. You would be surprised at what they can accomplish if given the freedom to do it. Also listen to them when they offer their opion or advice on a situation, esspecially when it comes to Technology.

Don't throw away your career for something as stupid as drugs or drinking. There is a surprising amount of Airmen who waste a good thing this way.

I like being in the Air Force National Guard because beyond working drills, which are one weekend a month I can been able to work and do tours of duty at about one month at a time when I do not have a civilian employer.

I wish I could be in the active duty Air Force without having to move so often as the active duty often does, so I never joined active duty. However I wish there was more opputunity for Active Duty Guard members if I wanted to work out at the base permanetly in Pittsburgh full time.

N/A

N/A

I liked the strong work ethic and values practiced by each member.

I disliked the nature of mechanical work.

I suggest that the management uses encouragement more than criticism as a motivator.

The Air Force is a great career opportuniy for those looking to be challenged in every arena of their life. It provides for a highly supportive, skilled, and disciplined professional environment.
