For several reasons. I have not been active here in a while, although I have showed up to a couple of the IRC chats. Some of you may already know this, but I am enlisting in the USAF Air Guard when I'm out of high school (I graduate May 16th, last day of classes is the 14th). I do not have a BMT date, as I still have to take the ASVAB and get my physical at MEPS. The job I'm trying to go for is in the Security Forces (then maybe later I'll go into TACP. . . but more on that later), but the unit I am going into has no positions open at this time, plus the unit is at 104% capacity, so I'll be waiting.
But between now and when I get shipped to basic, I will be studying for the ASVAB and my finals for school, training for basic, working, and spending time with my friends. I don't actually get to use my laptop much anymore, so getting on for long periods of time just hasn't been happening.
As for the job I'm wanting (Security Forces), it requires me to basically guard planes, bases, or if deployed convoys/buildings. I think the job will be very good on a law enforcement level, although it is of course much different than civilian law enforcement. But it is a good job, something I am really interested in.
Here's the SF job description.
The other job I was wanting was TACP. Stands for Tactical Air Control Party, and it's a unit of two or more airmen that go into combat with Army troops, giving those troops Air Force air power. They call in air strikes, helicopters, supply drops, etc. Unfortunately, the KYANG does not have a TACP unit, so I would have to cross train later on and move to a base that does have a TACP unit.
Here's the TACP job description.
Just letting you all know what's up, even though I won't always be gone. I'll still be here, just not as much right now. I'll also still be popping in on the IRC chats too.
Thanks for reading this what seems like a long post about something you don't necessarily need to know. I just wanted to share what I was doing with my life, as I'm graduating from high school soon to go into the "real life"
See you guys/gals later.
