Q&A: Aircrew Flight Equipment Job?
Question by : Aircrew Flight Equipment Job?
On the Air Force website, it states they prepare equipment like parachutes, survival kits, helmets, and other items. But it also states they train crew members how to use the equipment and weapons, how often does this happen? Do they really sit around all day sewing parachutes and floatation devices or is there more fun in the job?

I just cross-trained from this job and held a 7-level in it. Some duties do require you to sew and repair equipment. You also teach crew-members how to use the equipment, fit and adjust all flight equipment to each individual member, and even teach survival skills to aircrew members in the water and woods. This happens only a few times a year as far as the survival instructing goes. 80% of this job is inspecting equipment over and over, the other 20% is what makes the job fun. Overall, OK job. I crossed to be a TACP because AFE just wasnt fulfilling what I want from the military and TACP I think will. Its a good job, you get to go to Combat survival training, water survival, even get lucky like me and go to Arctic Survival School. Its what you make of it but all jobs in the AF are that way.
