After waiting almost a year to go active duty the Air Force has offered me 2a3x3 Tactical Aircraft Maintenance. Should I take the job?

It’s Definitely something I did not want to do. Should I take it and try to cross train or just wait unti next year?

Why would you not want the training and job? Nothing beats the additional training to add to your resume..

It's the Air Force. You're holding out for the way of life, not the MOS. Or you can wait another year.

SrA Blake Johnson you did get the offer to get your foot in door. Sometimes you have to make the hard choice. What's more important, the AF or the MOS?

Definitely the AF but I’ve heard so many terrible things about 2a3x3 is making my choice that much harder.

Which is probably why you got offered it. It's been a year and you're being offered a shit job no one else wants. That's your value to the AF.
Maybe the Navy or the Army had the job you want.

I spent 7 years USAF as flight line mechanic several different airplanes ending with F4,s. Hated it and couldn’t get out of it. My suggestion would be to specialize in one of the systems ie weapons, radar, fuel, munitions etc etc. A general mechanic is grunt work and an “any hour” job. Good luck
