Man said weather technician like I don't go around telling people I'm a meteorologist LMAO
everything he said about techschool is 100% true. i was at keesler during covid so it was a lot more restrictive. we couldn’t even drive around on base and we had to stay in the triangle. fun times

Are you weather? We were there at the same time
Weather was #2 on my job list....Geospatial Intel was #1. Thanks for this interview! It was really informative.
Awesome video and amazing content. Another flawless interview and collaboration. Your dream is a reality.
Kyle, your videos are so helpful and informative. Thank you for your service and for helping people like me who are in the process of joining. I am very grateful to have access to this type of information. I appreciate all of your content and will continue to support your channel and mission! :-)
Hey Kyle thanks again for this interview! And to the comments: I will admit that my opinion on this AFSC is a little bias but nonetheless, the military is what you make out of it! If you get stuck with a job you don’t like or didn’t want, you’re gonna have to change your attitude because the job you have won’t change.(unless you re-train). Point I’m making here is to learn how to look at whatever opportunity is given to you in a responsible, mature way because that’s how the military looks at you. Stay breezy 🤙🏾

My uncle does weather and when I went and got to see what all he did over on ramstein base it was pretty cool to watch🤙🏽
I really appreciate this video because this is the job I'll be training for.

Love these videos but liked it better when you asked the questions instead of putting them on the screen. Usually listen to these like in the background & now have to actually watch & read to know what question he’s answering lol
Thank you so much I feel more confident with making the push
Another Great Video Brother!!!!!!
Been waiting for this one 🙌🏻
I graduate weather course March 3rd. Long road and I can vouch Kessler Tech school sucks ! 😂 been here since July and haven’t seen off base.

I just got booked for it. I'm a dep right now leaving August 1st! How's it treating you?
Boy does this get me excited... 😒😂 I understand that life is what you make of it, but still... Besides, at MEPS I failed the color vision test. By a single point. Recruiter won’t let me go retake it or get a waiver. (“Nah man, it’s just a lot of work that in the end won’t be worth it for you or me.”) I can see color fine. And for this job, looking at forecasts and such, shouldn’t I be “100%” good on color vision? 🤷🏼♂️😂
What’s up Kyle! I’m shipping out August 27th! I’m in the DEP and just graduated high school and I’m very excited to be starting my career in the Air Force. My AFSC is 2A3X4 and it’s called Fighter Aircraft Integrated Avionics. I know you’re busy and all but I’d really appreciate it if you could do a video on it or reach out to me if you know more about the job considering it’s a maintenance job and you know about that life. Thanks in advance
I am awaiting confirmation for a weather job. This video was quite helpful! Thank you!!

Do you have one of these for weather officer 15W
Cyber Transport is definitely not easy, hence why he didn’t make it. It’s more than IT, IT is Client Systems.
If you don’t want to be at a desk constantly, Army Support is the way. You’ll be in the field and deploy more often as you will also make special duty assignment pay up to an extra $225 every month and can even have the opportunity to go airborne or do air assault which I believe is additional incentive pay.
When you say weather technicians can be stationed anywhere, does that mean any base with aircraft? I've been trying to figure out where 1W0X1s can go, and the internet is pretty silent except to say that there are weather hubs that forecast for many bases. Would a small ANG base have a weather flight?

You get skills that will help you for the rest of your life and most importantly, you will not have to live with that regret. I’m making 27 and I’m heading to basic on August 6th. The only regret that I have is that I should have done it sooner.
