I need info/details on the following U.S. Air Force Jobs:?

Question

Aeromedical (4F031): Are they all Airborne?
Television Broadcasting (3N032)
Computer SYS Programming (3C032)

Also, what other jobs are deployed to Iraq right now? and what positions are more likely to get me overseas? I am enlisting and would like to deploy or be assigned overseas so I just want any info on these I can obtain. Thanks!

Answer 1

Aeromed is all airborne but they spend most of their time at their homebase except for an emergency situation which wont let you see much of the other place

Television isnt much use inside the states. Its mostly overseas where troops need something besides the local news. Usually not nice places. And they dont need many. Most people entering that get weeded out somewhere along the training and become something lesser.

Programming doesnt need much overseas.

Is there an Air Force base near you? Go talk to someone who is DOING that job. Better yet, if there is a night shift then talk to them (thats where the screwups are put who might just offer you a different viewpoint than your recruiter did)

One of the biggest travel jobs in the Air Force was loadmaster. They pack the pallets of cargo, get them onto the cargo planes, fly with it, unload it at the other end. Sleep over for a couple days then do it all over agan heading back (or someplace else)

Answer 2

I don't know about the other two, but the Television Broadcasting is fun! I am Public Affairs, and they train the broadcasters at the same school. Its a very interesting career field.

Although, none of the broadcasters I know are in Iraq. They usually get sent out of the states, but not to the sandbox.

If you have any specific questions about the public affairs field, message me and i'll link you up with some answers :)

Answer 3

If you want to go overseas do EOD. period, that is the best job hands down. It is explosive ordnance disposal and that is what the war is all about right now. Air force EOD deploys under Army EOD these days so you pull army deployments. You are outside the wire in combat it is an intense and awesome job. Also look into combat control, and pararescue if you have that deployment mentality
