Ginny Trickett: i am also bilingual, i'm fluent in vietnamese if that counts for anything.
Rhett Kaines: For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/FafdXSome jet engine mechanics will pass six-figures with some seniority at an airline or defense contractor.
Chi Alfero: i agree with the other person on a load master, but not too sure you want to be a crew chief. it may sound glamorous, but there is a lot of BS you have to put up with, and you get dirty and work long hours. i like it, but the majority of mechanics don't like it.

Hollis Demasters: Yes, the ASVAB is timed and you can't use a calculator. The test isn't too bad but that depends on your test taking skills and general knowledge of various subjects. I recommend getting one of these prep booksIt can make a big difference in how well you do since you'll know exactly what to expect on the test. The higher your score, the more op! portunities you'll have and the better jobs you can qualify for so don't take the test lightly just because some people say it's easy. There's a big difference between doing okay and doing extremely well. The prep/study book will get you used to the timing of the test so you know how long to spend on each question and get used to the time pressure you'll be under. They give you everything you need to know to do well. Good luck!...Show more

Foster Padg! ette: Hey there- I'm a 2T2X1 aka Air Transporter more commonly! known as a porter or port dawg.There are many "jobs" within this career field. Everything ranging from cargo processing (driving forklifts and building cargo pallets), to loading cargo and passengers onto aircraft. We also handle "fleet" duties (loading the food/water onto a/c as well as servicing the latrines). Once you get some experience you will move up to other duties such as load planning (planning the cargo to go on a flight and figuring out the center of balance of the loaded aircraft), etc.As a porter you will have PLENTY of opportunity to see the world. I have been to Japan, Korea, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Honduras, Iraq, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and even Antarctica. As far as landing a 6 figure job on the outside... good luck! This career field doesn't really translate very well to a civilian career except for working for the airlines/FedEx/UPS etc. And those companies don't pay that well starting off. You CAN earn 6 figures by working for Kellog Brown a! nd Root doing air transportation jobs in the middle east. If you're single and don't mind living in the middle east for a couple of years you could easily save up a ton of money by working for them. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions!...Show more
Ty Kirton: I was in transportation in the USAF... Do you know what the AFSC is? 2T1X1? I am thinking it would be either be just regular trans or ariel port. If it is regular trans, you will be driving a big blue bus taking crews to and from the planes. If its ariel port, you will you will be driving the loaders for cargo planes, which is like a big flat vehicle that you roll palates of cargo on, drive it to the the plane, and then then unload it onto the plane. If you scored a 72 on the ASVAB, I think you are getting hosed by going in ANY transportation (I got hosed too.) I would tell your recruiter NO on that job. It doesnt matter if its guaranteed or not, you can get out of it and dont let him tell you o! ther wise. One job that I always thought was SO incredibly awesome was,! being a loadmaster. They are enlisted fliers. Their job is help load the cargo planes with the palates (that you may be delivering haha) and they fly all over the world. If I knew that job existed I would have been all over it when I went in. Another job would that would have good pay on the civilian side would be like a jet mechanic. But just so you know, you do not get any kind of certifications that you can take with you outside of the military. Like if you are a jet mechanic in the USAF, when you get out you have to have an A&P license to do the exact same work and the military training does not automatically give you that. You have to still go to school. Good luck I hope I helped some....Show more
