Currently assigned to the 488th Intelligence Squadron for administrative purposes is Operating Location Souda Bay, Crete. The unit's primary mission is the collection, analysis, and reporting of signals intelligence about foreign command and control, communications, and weapons systems. The 95th Reconnaissance Squadron is part of 55th Operations Group, Air Combat Command, stationed at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, whilst the 488th Intelligence Squadron (488 IS) is a component of the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA). They are currently based at Mildenhall but will be moving to Fairford near the English Cotswolds. In the UK the USAF 95th Reconnaissance Squadron and 488th Intelligence Squadron are the main USAF units employing such skills. In terms of USAF Airborne Linguist they tend to be based aboard RC-135's. Will they just give up on him like that? Is it a scare tactic? What will happen if he continues to have challenges? I'd love to hear your thoughts especially those who have or had the same MOS. I know the military invested so much time, money and effort to get these servicemen trained well. He's been in training for the past two years to be able to do his job. He was told he will be sent to speak to their commander. However, he is having a difficult time passing his tests for his last training requirements. He is currently in his final training as an Airborne Linguist. My 19-year-old son finished his training in Goodfellow and SERE in WA as what they call a 1N3. I must say that is far from the truth especially when two of them decided to serve our country.
You think you're parenting and worrying is done as soon as your children leaves the nest. My salary is a calculation of all the health and dental benefits in addition to E-4 salary - more.Hello, I just want to say thank you all for the service members on this forum. Despite the military not being a good fit for me, they offer great dental and healthcare coverage, perks including corrective eye surgery and time during the paid workday for medical appointments, an exam and performance-based points system and structured tier for advancement, steady income, and many other resources and opportunities to support you both personally and professionally. In terms of the culture, I believe in putting people first, but in the military accomplishing the mission comes first. My civilian supervisor granted 3 days a week to leave 1.5 hour early for working out in order to meet Air Force standards for physical fitness and deployment readiness. Some people really love this job they love the camaraderie, the mission, the military framework-so do not be deterred by this review. However, there was often no customer feedback on the direct impact of my work in any situation, which was unfulfilling for someone who wanted to rest assured she was making a difference.
The intelligence I reported was rewarding in that it provided policymakers with information necessary to protect U.S. The job was stressful in effort to appease the urgent requirements of two separate chains of command, one civilian and one military. The other 4-2 hours is spent on administrative duties related to Air Force extra duties and responsibilities. A typical day as a cryptologic linguist involves language translations and other mission-related work for about 4-6 hours.
