I am considering joining the air force and becoming a personnel, can anyone tell me what it would be like if I joined?

If you join the Air Force, it will be up to them to determine what jobs you get, according to how you score on the aptitude tests they give you.

Everybody is a 'personnel' but a few people work in Personnel. It is a good job if you like the desk and interior. I am not sure how you apply for that.My oldest son's main activity before joining was playing baseball, didn't know how to type, and they put him in Personnel - where incidentally, he had enough time to play baseball.

A personnel handle a lot of paperwork such as initiate and maintain records of military members, schedule and process personnel for separation, re-enlistment, duty assignments, etc. Swhite 28 days ago .

Thanks, I had never heard the word "personnel" used as a singular noun, or proper noun, before. So it means you are support or ancillary staff, taking care of the paperwork and documentation, right? I can't answer your question, but I expect someone here will be able to, though it might be tomorrow before that happens.

Good luck, and I hope this turns out to be what you want it to be. Service in support of our country is certainly an honorable profession! Kat .

You may not get the job you want initially, but the AF as a career will be very satisfying especially if you like travel.

Basic training is similar to Army basic training. After all, you are a soldier first. Your advanced training will be more in line with what AF life will be.

You may want to read my previous answer which will cover what military life is like a little bit: askville.amazon.com/joining-Air-Force-he... have also made a web site that may answer a lot of your questions: afbmt.com/And you'd be called a personnelist (which still isn't really a word), not a personnel. Really you'd just be someone that works in the personnel career field. As for the job, I do not do it, but everyone has to interact with those people at one time or another.

From what I can see it is the easiest job ever. They work very short hours, seems like they are always closed down for PT (exercising), or for training, etc. They work in an office all day, and from what I can tell none of them have to be very smart or very good at their job. But yes, basically it is just pushing papers around all day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
