You was fortunate to be working on the KC-10's and they was nice aircraft. I remember one of them catching on fire at Barksdale AFB while I was stationed there in the Reserve Wing and working on the A-10 Warthog. That airplane stayed near the terminal for a long time as they salvaged parts from it.
Shane Thornton I'm sorry I left you out mate!!! I'll mention you next time if you can convince the US AF to let me fly with Australian AF in the exchange program lol I'll even throw in a documentary on you if you can do it haha
There is no way to cheat the depth perception that I know of. You must pass the test every after you get the job to because some people loose it after awhile

Think of it like this. What other job could you have where 3 officers drive you to work.
Could you also talk about what you do on a daily basis as far as your job? Thank you
No mention of the random Aussie on course with you at FTU. Seems like just yesterday we were there.

What do you plan on doing once you get out of the Air Force?
Alex Almendarez Hey Alex check out my new video where I explain what my plans are after the Air Force
How rare is it to be a boom operator. Do they pop up on the list frequently, do I have a good chance to be one or is it rare?
Pretty rare I didn’t realize how lucky I was until I passed tech school. There are only 600 booms in the Air Force
Do you know if this job is in demand or not is there a shortage?
Yes there is a high demand for this job
Dorian Cozart do you have any tips for taking the depth perception?
There is no way to cheat the depth perception that I know of. You must pass the test every after you get the job to because some people loose it after awhile
Dorian Cozart if you wear glasses are you disqualified from this job?
Josh Weiss no sir there are a lot of booms with glasses. Only required to pass dept perception test!
Are there any in the air national guard?
I think it depends what state you're in but ask a recruiter for the NG.
High divorce rates from my observation.
Dennis Morris yes because they are never home. On top of that they travel and have really bizarre sleeping schedule
