Well- I was a 427X7 non-destructive journeyman for 16 years and I chose that AFSC coming in. I moved to 6F0X1- Financial Management and did that for 12 years before moving to 41A3 as the MAO in medical, and now as the FIAR auditor I have no tangible AFSC. If I had my choice- rock star does not have an AFSC....

I enlisted as 12B combat engineer my friend CPL Dave Hoover, Upon being commissioned as a 2LT on graduation from USMA, West Point I was designated an Infantry officer 11A. After training including mortar officer training I served as an Infantry platoon leader, XO, support platoon leader, S-3 Air and company commander.
My preference is for combat arms for many reasons. When I went through CAS3 and CGSC [which are inter-branch schools], I spent some time instructing the combat support and especially combat service support officers on military tactics, termino9logy and operations.

As an enlisted guy, I was an C-130 and C-141 Loadmaster. Wouldn't have changed that at all.
As an officer, had I known then what I know now, I would have chosen to be a logistician or Aircraft Maintenance. BUT...my career path took care of me being an Air Force mutt. It all worked out in the end. God knew what he was doing even when I thought I did and really didn't.

I went in as an officer but I really would have loved to be a loadmaster.
