Hello CC!
I haven’t been on in a long time, and wanted to say hello and discuss afsc (did I get that right?) Some moms and dads know a lot about potential positions in the Air Force after graduation and some know nothing.
I was a bit saddened that my DD sounds like she isn’t so keen (at this time!!) about attempting to be a pilot. I am thinking that she is looking at lifestyles and how to use her talents at something she would be happier in.
I haven’t heard a lot about how it is for a woman flying in 100 degree heat in a rocky C130 on a long mission with just a bucket in the back…
She is so happy at USAFA and is really enjoying everything now that she is an upperclassman. I just want to learn more about what the different positions are; the names are vague. Please enlighten me. She’s too busy and I think it stresses her for me to ask too many questions. (Imagine that!) Sooo- What does a behavioral scientist really do? What options are available in force support? ETC…
