And yes, nearly every job with actual decision making powers will usually be staffed by a flyer if its a primarily flying base. Some bases that are primarily other jobs, like acquisitions bases will have far fewer flyers but there'll probably still be a few.

My entire family moved out of California, we're in two states and two more provinces now. Once you leave you'll never go back

I sit in an office, where my day consists of a mix between technical work, supervising my NCOs and their airmen, attending meetings, and watching videos on youtube. I could make better money on the outside, but goddamn my job is so easy. Even with poo poo additional duties like COMSEC and CA/CRL (for the unfamiliar: paperwork and inventory intensive bookkeeping, basically). It wasn't always like this. As a young airman, I dug trenches, pulled cable, set up mobile radio networks, drove convoys, got shot at, picked up thousands of cigarette butts, and mopped up literal rivers of human poo poo when a sewage main broke in the dorms. Somehow, despite all that, I still earned a better paycheck than many of my friends who went to college instead of enlisting as teenagers.

If you commission as a non-rated officer, you'll have a far better paycheck and launch right into the managerial office work and never ever live in dorms, or get turbofucked with the enlisted scum because someone in another flight got a DWI, or perform any sort of manual labor. Some bases suck, and some of the people you'd work with will be losers, but you'll be treated like an adult from day one, and it's sure as poo poo better than moving back into mom's basement with an advanced degree.

There are worse ways to make a buck.

Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun. Who doesn't like organized recess?

I seriously had to look at the URL halfway through to see if it was a duffelblog work of art.

I'm absolutely blown away by this. The standards for commissioning through OTS are now higher than promotion to field grade.
