Question
i think the subject says it all, i currently work in the field of orthotics, but
heard
that the air force had a program. i have found descriptions of the afsc on the
web, but nothing on the air force web site. so i could not figure out if it is
still
available. any info you have would be very helpful, thanks
Darrell,
Sorry for taking so long to get back with you,
The career field still exists, the issue will be is do they have the slot for that particular career. The medical field is a vast field that has several careers in it. The one thing that I can tell you is IF you get that position, it will limit you as to WHERE you can be stationed. There are several careers that are limited to Major Medical Centers at Wilford Hall and David Grant Medical Center at Travis AFB. If this is the career you want to get into, take any certificates that you have in relation to what you do now, they MAY get you into that position, but its not guaranteed.

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
