Reviews about "training"
Return to all Reviews- 4.0May 23, 2023Mechanical EngineerCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearWarner Robins, GA
Pros
Being a mechanical engineer for the Air Force has a lot of potential. You could perform structural and mechanical tests with the Air Force Research Laboratory, work in the System Program Office with different airframes around the world, or work directly with the planes where your office is in or adjacent to the hangars, which is what I do. I get to board the aircraft whenever I want to investigate repairs and look directly at the damage I need to design a repair for. It's a new challenge every day, with different aircraft.
Cons
Work can sometimes be slow, with some occasional downtime between repairs. A good and bad thing is that there is a lot of training required as well. Some seem redundant, yet other training opportunities can be quite good.

Pros
The Air Force has a lot of opportunities in a multitude of career fields with the every chance to further a persons education, personal and professional development. I have been able to live in duty stations throughout the globe and never paid a dime out of my pocket to relocate. The training you receive is 'Excellent' and is needed in order to meet the Air Force Mission.
Cons
Even though you get the opportunity to live in multiple locations throughout the globe, you don't always get a say in where you end up. Some career fields don't offer as much flexibility to progress with out making rank. Promotion is based on, how well you study and take a test instead of how hard you work or even if you are fulfilling duties beyond your current rank and duties.
